enormously high pitch count...terrible command...not a good recipe to beat the Yankees...

So who is “long man” today? Baker for two innings?

Only one I can think of.

I can't believe they were comparing this guy to Max Fried last week.

Reading is really hard, people were comparing his windup and delivery to Fried, they are remarkably similar if you look at the damned overlay. Not one single person said the results were like Frieds.

Like watching a little league pitcher who can’t throw strikes. They get to three balls and a pitch or two is fouled off. You are just praying they can throw another strike.

Way to battle back, Cade. Bend but don't break. Keep battling.

[Rbiggs2525]

Sad to say if Povich keeps it to 1 run and gets into the 5th inning, I’ll call it a success.

[webbrick2010]

Sad that we don't have a ML pitcher to pitch against the Yankees

Need to make several trades ASAP

If you are going to demote Stowers should trade him and whatever is necessary to bring in ML starter and bullpen arm

 

[Chavez Ravine]

Povich lives!

Is 56 pitches in two innings bad? lol

Only 1 run isn’t..but for the second start in a row, you feel like the Yankees should be up about more.  This isn’t a good lineup but they can pitch.  Bats need to show up.

So you can draft Westburg. So far not many position players around him have done much. 

I get that it was a weak draft but I want a higher ceiling out of 1-2.

And that's not hindsight talking.

Also Westburg signed for slot.

[Philip]

56 pitches after 2.

Where’s that “Not great, Bob” meme when you need it?

Keep waiting for the 3 run homer 

He's been skating thru danger this whole game. Guess it's better to give up one run in two innings than throw more strikes and be down 5-0. 

[OriolesMagic83]

56 pitches in 2 innings, is Povich allergic to the strike zome?

It’s June, dude. You sound like a Karen who didn’t get their double macchiato made right.

Each one counts. And there are only 13 of them now.

That's the book on him.

It had been better this season but this is who he is.

 

It can improve.  I just have seen two pitchers in a row pitching scared.  Beside Judge and Soto, there isn’t anyone you have to be terribly careful with.
