28..by Matt Keough of As in 1979 and tied by JoJo Teyes with Blue Jays in 2011

Then somebody thought.. and signed Jo Jo Reyes

”oh, let’s get him”...and he pitched for us after the Jays cut him...and in his only start for us, faced the Jays, gave up 7 runs in 2 innings and was later cut.

I think Tillman would accept a stint to Norfolk... Say he's got inflammation and give him a couple weeks off, and try to get his confidence back. If he's just not able to perform at Norfolk, then I assume he'd be ready to retire. If he's able to get himself sorted, then he's depth.

Are you saying he would have remained bad if he stayed in the Orioles organization?

If so, how do you reconcile that with the fact that he's at least a competitive ML pitcher for the Red Sox?

Might that outcome, combined with the mounting pile of failed pitchers in our organization throughout the decade, be an indictment of our inept coaching staff? When does the evidence become too much to ignore?

I'm not saying that.  I'm saying he regressed that season.

    • This is our best hope.  Root for the Rangers to fall apart and add 3 more starters to the market (and result in less need to overpay). Lots of good options on that staff! 
    • Agreed. Forbearing a major trade, we don't have much of a choice but to let Povich make his next start. I doubt McDermott is going to be meaningfully better, and Povich was pretty good in his preceding four starts.
    • Povich should be fresh after only throwing 41 terrible pitches yesterday so he'll most likely get the start.  There is no true alternative in AAA to Povich since the next guy in line is McDermott and he got one out yesterday in his start against the Durham Bulls. Bad starts happen. Let's see what Povich is made up of by seeing hiw he bounces back fro that disastrous start.  Hopefully after the All-Star break Elias will make a move for a true impact starter and reliever.
    • I wonder what he would get on the open market? You see a lot of sign and trade deals in basketball (I know, a different purpose and mechanism than this), but if you think that arbitration number is supported by the market maybe there’s a chance of swinging a deal with him in the offseason, as part of a package or a lottery ticket return.
    • I just thought I'd throw my two cents in here and a little moderating. First, Roy is Roy. He's here as a fan and to give his take. Most of the stuff I read from him reminds me of the great quote from Terrance Mann in Field of Dreams, "I wish I had your passion, (Roy)... Misdirected though it might be, it is still a passion." What is misdirected even more is when people attack Roy for anything other than his opinion. Feel free to disagree with Roy. Feel free to think Roy is off base in his reactions or posts, but do not make it personal. Roy is a friend of mine and this site, and while I may not always (or rarely) agree with his harbingers of disaster, he has every right to express his opinions. What he doesn't need is someone questioning his writing style or grammar or saying they expect more. That's a bunch of personal BS that I don't appreciate. One of the moderators here gave someone a few days break because they personally attacked him. I support that and not just because he's Roy Firestone, but because he's one of us here. He's a long time passionate Orioles fan and that's all he wants to be here so let's not start talking about his journalistic integrity or writing style. Again, feel free to disagree with Roy. Heck, I completely disagree with this take besides the fact that we all know that this team needs to add at least one starter and one or two impact bullpen arms.  But as it was stated by a few on here already, this team is on pace to win well over 100 games despite losing 4 out of their 5 projected starters at some point, and losing 3 starters for the year.  The Orioles are not going to win every game. A 100 win team is going lose 62 games a year. The world is not going to end over one game. Whether the teams loses by 1 run or 11, it counts as one game and today they start 0-0 at the beginning of the game.
