A ballooned .387 Babip and a 3.45 FIP/3.20 xFIP from a 23 y/o in AA with those gaudy K/9 numbers.  I'm still on the wagon.  

His career minor league ERA is 4.58 and he hasn't put up an ERA under 4.46 since a handful of starts in low-A ball. The pattern of underperformance against his peripherals seems concerningly persistent to me.

The odds are in your favor given pitching prospect history and maybe even the warts on his personal history.  And yet my fool-hardy ways hope "peak Povich" becomes the norm.

Povich has been very dominant when he’s on.   He’s been off three outings in a row, but I’m not overly concerned, just disappointed.  It’s a process, and we’ll see how the rest of his year goes.

Fully on the Povich wagon here as well. Just let him rack up innings and simmer in AA for awhile. Not everybody follows the same development path. Might take a few more years and that's fine. Certainly hasn't been an ideal path for Grayson and Hall.

Off to a solid start tonight, seems to be “good” Povich out there.

15 up, 15 down, 10Ks, only 65 pitches so far.

Not to be "that guy", but Povich is perfect through 6.

Welp, there’s a reason why people aren’t “that guy”

I owe Cade an apology.

I think he’ll be in a pretty forgiving mood, still the best start of his young career. 

And Bowie manager Kyle Moore will definitely be thanking you, because it saved him from an awfully tough decision. You can’t risk the kid hurting himself pursuing a AA milestone — but at the same time, damn, how do you take a kid out when he’s dealing like that?

7ip, 1 hit, 0 bb's, 13k's 0ER

Wowza.

He missed 19 bats tonight.

Real great game.  "Announcing his presense with authority"

[Frobby]

Now he just needs to show some consistency.
