I’m think Suarez might get the start tomorrow.  He did throw 11 pitches on Wednesday, but they might go with him if they don’t want to make a roster move with Povich. 

He has pitched muitiple times recently although not for long. 
 

The only reason to me not to start Povich is if you want that 40 man spot open. It’s one game and also allows them to carry an extra pen arm vs Boston. One of Tate\Vespi go down tomorrow and another pen arm can be added Sunday for Povich.

Eh, Povich was almost certainly going to debut at some point this season regardless and we have a few chaff players on the 40 man like Ort and Heasley. I doubt they're worried about the 40 man.

Sure.

 

It’s just that in this sport, the rate of pitching injuries is so bad teams are trying to hoard as many arms as possible. Baumann would still be around if these pitching injuries happened a week ago.

Probably. I'm still not crying about Baumann's release though. Guy's basically the definition of replacement-level reliever, though there is a small chance at some upside.

Yeah seriously doubt Povich is recalled. Elias does not alter the development plan due to injuries at the big league level.

I don't necessarily know that it would be altering the development plan.  Elias may be of the opinion that Povich is ready to start getting his feet wet at the ML level, but there had not been any room in the rotation to do so until now.

O's don't need 4 lefties in the pen.   Coulombe, Akin. Perez and Vespi.   I think it's Vespi down and Povich up for tomorrow's start.     Probably can't find a better team to debut against than the White Sox.

We have a full 40 man but Tyler Wells can easily go on 60 day dl to open a spot.  He is on 43 days already and just started light tossing.  The very best situation he could be ready after all star break which is another month and a half.

It’s already at 39. You are right. They could make more room.

Suarez announced as Saturday starter.

I had a feeling it would be Suarez. I figured if it was Povich news would have broke about him not being with Norfolk for this evening's game. There's no way the Orioles ask Povich to take a flight tomorrow morning with a 1pm CST start time.

    • I don't think it is really the past 5 games.  It is the next 4 months, potential playoffs, and all of next year that has people concerned.  Remember these elbows aren't just taking guys out this year, but most of next year as well. And Burnes probably won't be around next either. 
    • It is just a real shame that the Os are going through all of these elbows.  Take away all of the elbows going back to last year with Felix and I would say the Os are a lock to get to the WS and would have a great chance to win it all. I haven't seen this many injuries from a teams top guys in such a short amount of time in maybe.....forever. I am starting to wonder if it is something the Os are doing as far as their training.   Trying to obtain too much spin, revs, and velocity. I am a big Colts fan and for years we have complained about all of the knee blowouts and hammy injuries they get when playing at home.  Finally the Colts realized that it might be turf related from their home field and replaced it this past spring.    
    • I've been a fan for a long time too but mostly remember a lot of near misses, not tailspin collapses. 2005 comes to mind (Raffygate, Sammy Sosa, Lee Mazzilli, et al.)... what other seasons are you thinking of, to create scar tissue?
    • I really like Kremer.  Seems like a good guy and a solid arm. But he is not going to be the guy to get you into the playoffs and he especially won't be a guy between a make or break WS championship. 
    • We can hope he’s back to being his #5 self, but he’ll now be a #3, and let’s all x the fingers
    • The 5 game losing streak is a 5 game losing streak.  I am not too concerned about that unless it turns into something bigger. Every team goes through it.  What I am concerned about is losing 3 starters and 2 great relievers since last August with not a lot to replace them other than Burnes.  And they won't even back for most of next year...if at all. Add in the fact that Burnes is more than likely leaving after this year?  Our cupboard pitching wise is pretty bare as it looks right now. So imo you absolutely need to trade some of your AA and AAA players to get pitching help now and for next year.  This team is too good to waste years on players like GH and AR. 
    • Trading Drew Rom for Flaherty was not a big swing. It was trading a maybe prospect for a “hope he’s ok” guy with three months before FA. I am increasingly convinced Mike won’t make any bigger move this season, and what we have is basically what we will have.
