Because it’s a really bad idea?

To you maybe, but do you think the Orioles would suddenly change their mind on it?

What is the chance of a partially torn UCL not becoming worse when you return to the activity that caused it to tear?

I think we can expect the Bradish to UCL surgery announcement before July 1

To my knowledge the word tear has never been used in their description of KB’s injury. It’s been described as a UCL injury. That could mean so many things.

Unless you (or anyone else) has seen it reported that he had a partial tear.. if so, please correct me. I personally have not heard/read the word tear with regard to KB’s ailment.

Hopefully.  Putting even more pressure on the weakest part of the team doesn’t seem to be a sound strategy.

Bradish this month he is right now detached from Burnes-Grayson as the rotation turns.

I have a feeling Bradish won't pitch until Saturday after Irvin's Friday turn.      Then Burnes-Grayson get an extra day, and you have Bradish-Burnes-Grayson connected if you want to maneuver all 3 of them to the Yankee Stadium series (using or not using a 6th starter as needed to manipulate the calendar).

For as long as the race is hot, NYY-BAL regular season games mean a lot - one team will have to survive Seth Lugo and Cole Ragans, or equivalent from one of the AL's playoff teams.

For funsies getting Burnes 2nd between the other two guys would also position him for the middle game @Malike had it that Yankees announcers say is Gerrit Cole's return date.

Maybe the O’s considered it a luxury because they had too many starters performing well. Now with the injuries, the equation changed. Just spitballing, who knows. We’ll find out soon enough.

Yea my first thought on the Bradish stuff was re-arranging the rotation for the Yankees, while also giving him the rest.

I didn’t look to see how it would work out but I’d be shocked if that’s not part of the thinking.

I agree. Hopefully it was only under consideration because Means was healthy and Irvin was dealing. I'm in favor of targeted spot starts like this Thursday. I'm sure they'll give Grayson one or two of those as well.

Well and Kremer was healthy.  Things have changed a lot in the last few weeks.

If baseball gives us Cole-Burnes two Wednesday nights from now (would also I believe be the Juneteenth holiday), a watch party somewhere maybe ought to be considered.

Povich had pretty decent in May if you take out his last start. Not dominant like April, but still decent with a 3.62 ERA and holding batters to a .257/.317/.459/.775 slash with a 31 to 9 K to BB in 27.1 IP.

As someone stated, he has reverse splits getting righties out to the tune of a  .180/.263/.317/.579 slash line but .250/.307/.427/.733 to lefties.

Toronto is a right-handed heavy lineup so this might be a good matchup for him Thursday.

This move would move Bradish back to Friday against Tampa, giving him an extra day of rest after a tough outing. If i did the games right, this would align him with starting the 1st game in the Yankees series on 6 days rest.

Surely this is a troll post?

Went to spring training last year and saw Povich pitch.  Seems to have a repeatable delivery which makes his walk issue perplexing. I am a believer in his talent.

I don't love how this is phrased, "could potentially be an opening in the rotation". 

Starting to think they are evaluating Bradish and maybe considering giving him an IL stint.

Happy for Povich, but very concerned about Bradish. I know they said he "needs a couple extra days". With his recent injury, I hope that isn't code for he's hurt again.

As an O's fan, why can't we have nice things and why do the f'ing Yankees always get nice things?
