Well, let me tell ya, there’s been some chatter ’round the ballpark about that young fella Adley Rutschman. Folks have been wonderin’, “Is he hurt or what’s goin’ on?” You see, Adley’s the catcher for them Baltimore Orioles, and he’s been one of them big names in baseball lately. But lately, seems like he’s been havin’ a little trouble with his body, and it ain’t lookin’ too good for him. Now, I ain’t no doctor, but I can sure tell ya what I heard.
Now, one of the big things people been talkin’ about is his back. Yes, that ol’ back of his. I heard he was scratched from the lineup last Friday ’cause he was complainin’ about some soreness in his back. Y’know, it’s that kinda pain where ya can’t hardly bend over without feelin’ like you’re gonna snap in half. That ain’t good for a baseball player, especially a catcher who’s gotta squat down all the time. He didn’t even play Saturday, though he came in to bat off the bench. But, I reckon he didn’t do too hot, went 0-for-2. Ain’t that somethin’?
Seems like Adley’s been dealin’ with a bunch of different aches this season. Ain’t just the back pain. Couple months ago, I heard he was playin’ through some hand trouble. Not too sure what happened exactly, but I reckon it’s from all the wear and tear of catchin’ them hard fastballs. Now, he ain’t the only one with injuries on that team. That’s just part of the game, ain’t it? But it sure does raise questions ’bout how long he can keep playin’ at the top of his game if his body keeps fallin’ apart on him.
I was readin’ somethin’ that said he also had some elbow soreness not too long ago. Sounds like one thing after another, don’t it? That elbow issue, they said it wasn’t too serious, just a couple of days rest. But I reckon you can’t play baseball with an ache here and there and expect to be your best. Especially when ya got a whole season ahead of ya.
Now, I’m sure the team’s doin’ what they can to get him back to 100%, but we all know how it goes in sports. Sometimes they try to play through them little hurts, but them little hurts turn into big problems. I just hope this back pain don’t turn into somethin’ worse for ol’ Adley, ‘cause he sure is a big part of the Orioles’ lineup.
He’s been one of their main stars, hittin’ them home runs and gettin’ on base. Ain’t no doubt he’s important. But if he can’t stay healthy, well, I don’t know how much longer they’ll keep dependin’ on him. I reckon they need to make sure he gets all the rest he needs. Can’t push a fella too hard if he’s hurtin’, or that’ll just make things worse down the road. Heck, I know that from all them aches and pains I’ve had over the years.
Now, if you’re askin’ how much that young man’s makin’, well, I heard he’s gettin’ paid pretty good. $760,300 for the 2024 season, at least that’s what they say. That’s a heap of money, ain’t it? I reckon he’s earned it, though, bein’ such a big player for the Orioles. I just hope he stays healthy so he can keep playin’ at the top of his game and bring some wins home for the team. Ain’t nobody want to see him on the sidelines too much, especially not the fans. I reckon they got high hopes for him.
So, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens with Adley Rutschman. Hopefully, he’ll be back in the game soon, and that ol’ back of his will start feelin’ better. We all know baseball ain’t no easy sport, but with a good rest and some care, maybe he’ll be back to his usual self, hittin’ them home runs and catchin’ them fastballs.
