Skubal is one of the best pitchers in baseball. The guys you mentioned aren’t even the best players on our roster.

unless you really like the sound of cacophonous laughter, you should never mention that to anybody in Detroit

He's joking.

I’m not going to trash Povich just because he’s awful today.   He’s been respectable up to now.  For whatever reason, he just doesn’t have it today.   Have a good afternoon, I’m finding something

Why not Irvin?   You need someone to eat about 4 innings.

I get that Tate hasn't pitched in a while and was inevitably going to pitch today anyway.

But seems like the ideal spot for Irvin.

Irvin will come in. They have their RH stack lineup so you usually back up your LHP starter with RHP reliever. We're gonna need both Irvin and Tate so might as well ensure Tate gets some favorable matchups.

Is forfeiting an option today to save the pitching staff. Or do we see a position player go 2 or 3 innings on the mound.

Yeah, can we institute the mercy rule just this once? :D

      We tried the Irvin/Povich/McDemott/Suarez experience for 6 weeks to the tune of disastrous results. They were literally weighing down the team. Just look at the team's ERA with them starting games over the last 6 weeks or look at the team's ERA during that time. All horrible, like at the bottom of the league bad. NONE of those guys (including Irvin) are big league starters right now. Maybe Irvin was in 2021? But not now. He just doesn't have enough talent (stuff + command) to be successful. The more starts he makes (like Suarez) the more he gets exposed, as the league adjust he doesn't have the ability to counter adjust.

      While I agree that we overpaid for Rogers in the sense that I hoped those two players (Norby & Stowers) could have landed us a better player than a #5 starter. I think 2 things factored into the decision for Elias: 1) We needed another competent, credible Major League starter badly! The combination of the 🗑 that we were rolling out there for the 6 weeks prior wasn't competitive and causes us to give away too many games. Look at the negative WAR of pitchers like Povich, Irvin, etc and that says it all. 2) The two players that we traded had no use to us. I know some posters thought that Norby could have stayed because they mistakenly undervalued Holliday's ability based on his 2 and 1/2 weeks with the team in April. But the fact is, Norby was always a placeholder at best and he was simply in Holliday's way. So, Elias had to move him in order to make room for Holliday and to some extent Mayo. Norby and Stowers were never going to be mainstays or serious contributors to the Baltimore Orioles because there was simply no room for them. But I agree on Rogers, he is nothing more than a league average, back of the rotation starter at best. But that is still vastly better than what we had taking the mound every fifth day, which was almost a guaranteed loss.

      You don’t pay 13M plus trade assets for a #4. And he has an ERA of a 2/3 starter..he has a lot of other stats of a 4/5 guy.
