O's sick call
Dave Trembley came to his pregame news conference with a list. There's so much injury information that he didn't want anything to fall through the cracks.
Here's a quick review:
Daniel Cabrera will go to Miami for a second opinion on his sore elbow/forearm. He'll depart the team on Saturday and who knows if we'll see him in spring training. If he requires some kind of procedure, you can bet the Orioles will non-tender him in December.
Reliever Jim Miller has a huge bruise under his arm pit. He apparently tore a muscle in his side warming up in the bullpen last night. With four games left, he's obviously done for the year.
Dennis Sarfate is scheduled for surgery on his fractured clavicle on Tuesday. Dr. John Wilckens will perform the operation, but Sarfate is visiting Dr. Lewis Yocum in Southern California for a second opinion.
Melvin Mora is sidelined again with that nagging hamstring strain. Trembley said he is on the injury list as "self-limited." Draw your own conclusions.
Rotation update: Chris Waters will pitch Friday's series opener against the Blue Jays and Trembley confirmed Guthrie for Sunday. Who pitches in between is still up in the air.






Comments
Pete.
Is it me or has anyone else noticed our pitching coach doesn't go to the mound too often. I managed adult and American Legion Baseball, but with the inexperienced staff, Liz walks the leadoff hitter and hits the next, that would be a nice time to go out and calm him down, let him catch his breath and regroup. I know it's 6-0 but coaches encouraging youngsters is part of the development process.
