Hess has been consistently awful. I don't see how keeping them in the rotation is good for either the pitcher or the team. The problem is, who do we bring up. Options on the 40-man look bleak:

Harvey - 5+ ERA at AA and really just needs to stay healthy at this point

Tate - 5+ ERA at AA since being acquired

Yacobonis - Been there, done that. Isn't even starting at Norfolk.

Shepherd - pitching in the bullpen at Norfolk. Good track record but something is wrong with him right now.

Rogers - 9+ ERA at Norfolk. (I can't believe I thought he was indistinguishable from Means going into the season!)

Luis Ortiz - Has struggled ever since being acquired

Looking past the 40-man, Norfolk's rotation has been pretty atrocious. Akin has been OK but we probably don't want to push him.

Maybe Herb or Gilmartin as an "opener"? If we need to make room on the 40 man, does Shepherd go?

Akin is scheduled tonight so would be in line with Hess.  I think it is either him or Strally gets another try we have lots off days this month so can piggyback some but they have to split up Ynoa, Hess part.    I would use the day off to try rework the order of rotation this week.  I would try to give Akin another few starts in minors and bring him up after break but they may not have enough time.

I don’t think we will see Akin for awhile. First year at AAA. Maybe in August/September.

I think about 15 starts at AAA is a good amount of starts if a prospect is pitching well.  This is his 11th so that gives him about a month more of starts to get to 15.

I think they will be very cautious with him. Elias pretty much said as much other week.

Tyler Herb? Desperate times but most recent scouting report I could find says he has a decent sinker which could play with our decent infield defense.  

Anyone we can trade some international slots for?

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
