I get it but....if I had just spent the entirety of the last two seasons in the majors and I got sent down....I think I'd be doing my best to stay locked in. I'd also be worried about all the 0's the staff is putting up in my absence.

It definitely not best sign but we don’t know if they had him working on something once they got a big lead.  He gave up 5 runs and 7 of those hits innings 5 and 6.  Your team getting lot of runs not a bad thing but 17 runs in 4 innings and 5 pitchers has to be hard on a pitcher to stay lose especially since Irvin works fast so I assume sitting would bother him a lot.

Wonder if he is hiding an injury.  He just looks awful

Didn't think about that, could be. He came in with the track record of a command guy. What we've seen so far a the ML level is the opposite of that. Hope he rights the ship and is ready when his number is called. Depth, especially with pitching, it be important.

Irvin was a tough luck loser tonight, as the Durham staff somehow managed to scatter 13 base runners and yield only one unearned run — but he had a very promising outing. He went 7 innings with 4 Ks and 0 BBs, and he allowed only 4 hits on the night (though one was a homer). 

This comes on the heels of his previous strong start against Charlotte. Combined in those two starts, he’s allowed only 3 ERs in 13 IP (2.08 ERA) with 9 Ks against only 1 BB. He’s given up a HR in each outing, but he is finally starting to look a lot more like the good command/control pitcher they thought they had traded for.

That's good to see. We're gonna need him at some point.

He looked great Tonight.  First 4ip went by really fast.

They could clear a 40 man spot and drop him. 

Yep..there are a few easy moves and that’s one of them.

I don’t mind keeping his arm in the system and you never know if he learns a new pitch or something like that but this iteration of him isn’t someone we need to protect.

    • I disagree Mayo is one of the reasons the Orioles have not hit well.  Emmanuel Rivera, who has hit well with an .879 OPS since he joined the O's, has gotten the playing time over Mayo.  
    • I was sort taking that as a fait accompli. Signing expensive long-term free agent deals for one dimensional sluggers heading into their 30s definitely does not seem like Elias's style, especially when an extra high draft pick (and accompanying extra bonus pool money) is the reward for not doing so.
    • Game 153, Sept. 19 Lots of notable defensive plays today.   Kjerstad made two excellent catches, one going back and towards the RCF alley that (per Kevin Brown) was a 50% probability catch, and another going back to the wall near the corner and making the catch at close to full speed.   Holliday snared a line drive at the top of his leap, and also made a nice backhand running catch of a soft fly into medium RF. Mullins made a diving catch in the 7th on a sinking liner that he got a great jump on.   In the 9th, with runners on 1st and 2nd, Heliot hit a liner in the RCF gap that carried much further than it first appeared it would.   Mullins and Slater dove for it simultaneously and Slater actually gloved it for a second before it popped out while Slater landed on Mullins.  Luckily, the two base runners totally misread the play, and after Slater quickly scrambled to his feet and threw the ball in, the runner originally on 2B scored but the runner on 1st only advanced to 2B, and the batter had to stop at first.  The O’s were able to keep any further runs from scoring. One thing I’ve noticed about Manny Rivera is that he’s very slow charging bunts and slow rollers/choppers. He handled one bunt and one chopper in front of him today and both times the runner beat his throw rather easily, something that has happened a lot when Rivera has manned 3B.   I’m more than ready to have Urias -and/or Westburg back at the hot corner.    
    • Don’t know what happened to him on here but I did meet him and some others from The Sun forums at the park on Matt Wieters first game as an Oriole. If I recall correctly his name was Patrick.  He seemed like a good dude but he did have his face painted and was wearing those big hulk hands…which did strike me as a little odd for a grown man but to each his own. 
    • ….as long as it’s not us 
    • Is it just me or did they sound the HR / walk-off siren before the ball actually went out?
