Personally, the way Irvin has pitched the last four times out, I wouldn’t want to be skipping him.  I’d be skipping Kremer to let that blister of his heal up.

I've thought it was going to be Grayson, but the messy weather is a confounding variable.    Could be a day for the pickup instead of the Lambo.

It will be interesting to watch Burnes' pattern in this stretch. One of the tradeoffs from taking the rest is you start to evaporate the opening day starter's turn 33 opportunity. Corbin Bur

Wow - surprised by that move. He’d been pitching much better lately. 

Yes, I was expecting that they would just option Akin down.

Just saw Hyde's pregame and he referred to Irvin being in the pen "right now", and "at some point" as the time frame the club may experiment with a 6-man rotation.

He was also precise not having pitched in 2 weeks Grayson won't be pushed tonight, esp. if early traffic on the bases.

So...with Irvin in the pen, I assume the six man rotation is not happening now

The same day Hyde talked about six man rotation he also said Irvin was going to the pen for now. I don't really understand it but it appears something like a six man rotation with Irvin occasionally skipping starts and pitching out of the pen when needed.

Makes sense.  Can you imagine Means throwing out of the pen with those 89 mph fastballs.

Do we go Suarez, Povich, Irvin vs Atlanta?

Or Povich, Irvin, Bradish and move Suarez to the pen?

Yeah I'm interested to find this out as well. Personally, I'm hoping to get Suarez back in the bullpen ASAP, but they could wait on that until Kremer is back. 

I imagine it all depends on their plan for Bradish and if they want to keep giving him more rest.

I’m going to say the first one for the simple fact Bradish performed amazing on extra days rest.

With the off day coming up and Povich's performance last night, I could see Suarez skipping a start to be available out of the pen (especially as a piggyback for Povich in NY). This would be a 5 man rotation across the off day, and picking back up as a 6 man on the next time through. This gets us to July 1st, when Kremer is likely back and we get a bunch of off days.

I selfishly would like to see Povich get a start or two more. I agree with Palmer that Saurez stuff looks better starting than in bullpen. Tough decisions for Hyde but maybe Irvin going to Pen after today helps the team most.

Irvin is better as a starter too

      How far do you go to try to save this?

      I don’t think this is totally accurate.  Means was looked at as a guy who no one could count on for this year, I don’t think anyone expected him to be able to finish the season.  Sort of the same scenario with Bradish, I think everyone thought this outcome was inevitable. They tried the treatment and that delayed it but no one should be surprised about this.  Wells is Mr. Glass. The fact that they all went down in the first half of the season is inconvenient but shouldn’t be totally surprising.  All of these guys had issues headed into the season.

      We’re tied with the Yankees in the Loss Column.

      We have been several times. We need to be at least 1 game better in the lose column if we're 3 games down. The percentages say we're going to lose one of those 3 games. There's 83 games left to play. We just need to win as many as we can.

      Bradish TJ-Season and 2025 over

      Yes, they're asking pitchers to throw at 110% all the time, just like everyone else in the world from 11U on up.

      OP is asking about next year as well as this one. I think the point is we can get a guy who will help us now and next year. We did expect to lose Bradish but not him and Means and Wells all at the same time. Right now we would be going into next year with Grayson as our only dependable guy. Won't be much margin for error without another Burnes type.

      Something to keep in mind in the offseason is that the starting pitcher FA market doesn’t look that great in terms of pitchers we would sign or even want to sign. On top of that, you have several guys who only become FA if they opt out and if they opt out, it’s likely because they didn’t have a great season. Combine that with the idea that our only 2 internal rotation candidates are Povich and McDermott, both of whom have exhibited a lot of issues with command and control and it certainly is a shaky long term outlook for the rotation. Position player wise, we will (in theory) lose Santander and McCann. Hays and Mullins are likely gone. Not going to have both Mateo and Urias but certainly could bring back one. As of now, OHearn definitely has his option picked up. If it were up to me, Mounty would be traded. 2 years left of control, likely to be coming off a very solid season and we have players behind him. He could help fetch us some pitching. My expectation is at least 2 of Mounty, OHearn and Santander will be back. How so many of these guys and our prospects end the year will determine how we attack the offseason. But for the deadline, I think obtaining a starter that can be here long term is something the team should look at.     You have several options in Miami and potentially a guy like Detmers.    A Detmers/Estevez package is something I would be looking into.  Same thing with Nardi and one of the Marlins starters, like a Braxton Garrett for example. For me, the key here is that you need to upgrade the pen. I think if you make the pen really good and you have Burnes and GRod, that may be enough.  I’m not trading our top 3 prospects. I think all play big roles in 2025, although Basallo may not play a role until the season is well underway, But I would trade Kjerstad and anyone else while hoping to keep certain guys although they wouldn’t be deal breakers.

      And Fangraphs has the Yankees 68% to 31% to win the division.
