Do we let Povich make his next start against the NYY?

Right now he’s scheduled to pitch one of the three games next week at NYY. I’m not done with Povich for the year, but we could roll with McDermott that game. Or we could do a bullpen game.

Keep in mind how big that the Yankees series is.  We’re 5-2 H2H vs them this year.  That would be the tie break after 162.  As of now, Povich, Grayson, and Kremer are scheduled to start against Cole, Gil, and Rodon.  I think we need some rotation shuffling.  We should try and get it Burnes, Grayson, then bullpen game. 

The advantage to optioning Povich today is that we can get a fresh arm up here. 

Do we have a pitcher on the West Coast that we could even activate for today’s game if we optioned Povich?

1.  It’s not in NY, it’s in Baltimore. 2. McDermott had to be pulled after 1/3 of an inning yesterday so he’s in the same boat as Povich. 3.  I think you roll with Povich.  It’s one bad star

We don’t even have 6 really good bullpen arms.  Having an extra bullpen arm that’s awful doesn’t comfort me.

Povich should be fresh after only throwing 41 terrible pitches yesterday so he'll most likely get the start.  There is no true alternative in AAA to Povich since the next guy in line is McDermott

Thanks. I edited the title. 

I’m more so leaning towards a bullpen game being it’s the second to last game before the ASB. Overall, we gotta line up the rotation better than what roster resource projects right now. 

I’d have Burnes starting on regular rest off the off day so that he’s on schedule for Tu 7/9 and Sunday 7/14.

So I’d have it,

7/12 Friday Grayson

7/13 Sat Bullpen game

7/14 Burnes

You let Povich pitch. He is a Jeckly and Hyde pitcher good for results all over the place. Since he just got an awful one out of the way then there is good chance, decent, good, or great start will follow up. This has been his track record in the minors as well.

I’m not saying abandon Povich for the season or for good. I think we could maneuver, using options to go bullpen game in the 2nd to last game before the ASB. 

Povich is our #5. Coming out of the break he’d likely make 2 starts then be replaced in the rotation by the pitcher I hope we acquire.

Thats good I like the extra start for Burnes before the All Star break. Instead of the BP  game could start Povich thursday and move Saurez to Friday

You could bump him up to the Cubs series and push back another arm like Suarez to start vs NYY. Only threw 43 pitches. Then you could option him and add another player vs NYY. 3 more games then 4 off days then  3 games and off day. 
 

In theory you could skip a #5 SP until July 27. That said this regime doesn’t seem to make these kind of moves as much as Duquette did. He felt like he was always trying to find an advantage. Either way if they would option him he would only miss one start.

Have to see if today they announce Tuesdays SP or not.

Ultimately it does make sense since he threw 43 pitches to throw him Thursday vs Cubs and then send him down. 
 

It would push Suarez to 6 days rest and keep Grayson on 5. Then just have to see who they start Tuesday to see who goes Sunday. They could get cute and have a pen game as well. Hate to say it but one advantage of Burnes pitching Sunday is he can’t pitch in ASG.

No better alternatives.    Keep evaluating him until we get another starter.  If he gets annihilated again, send him down regardless.

There’s a 90% chance Povich makes that start Thursday, but we could get creative. Kremer and Povich both have options. We could option them like we used to do with Chen/Miggy in 2013/2014 around the ASB. Idk if they wouldn’t be down the necessary time to make their scheduled starts as the 4th/5th SP out of the break. 

That could give us a 9 man pen for the Yankees series.

So, you’d rather start McDermott against the Yankees than Povich? Or start guys from our pen? Like Irvin or Akin?

The choices are not splendid but Povich is no worse than the other options. And Hyde doesn’t like to shuffle guys.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Some owners spend and want to win (Mets, Padres, Phillies). Some are more interested in making money (Rays, Guardians, etc). If Rubenstein is a profits based owner (has to make money year after year like JA) vs an investment style o lever (accepts some years May come with a loss or small net gain) then we (the fans) will be screwed. We will be akin to the Rays who are content with being “good”. But they are never willing to do what it takes to be good enough. I hope Rubenstein and everyone associated with the business or the Orioles paid a lot of attention to all of the empty seats for playoff games. That is evidence of a fanbase/market place who is not fully engaged.  The onus is on the Orioles to give people a compelling reason to come out and spend money especially in this economy. And it cannot just be hey look we have a winning team. The franchise must do more including investing in the on field product (in terms of committed dollars like every other serious franchise who is trying to win a championship).

      My recollection is that MLB has rules about how much debt teams are allowed to take on and how much money owners are allowed to infuse into their franchises.   They supposedly won't approve contracts if they think a contract will cause them to exceed these thresholds.

      Yeah like Tony T but Tony has the ability to foul pitches at will.  I want Cowser to be more like @waroriole’s Rob Refsnyder and Holliday to be Steven Kwan.  Is that too much to ask of number one picks?  But I love Cowser and most of everything he brings.

      I can't say The Wall gives me all warm fuzzies but it doesn't swing at pitches a foot outside the zone or take a meatball right down the middle of the plate. It doesn't fail to move a runner over or lay down a decent sacrifice bunt. I've never seen it fail to get a hit with a runner in scoring position. At some point The Wall will probably be modified some but you build your team to play best in their home ball park. It's called home field advantage. IMO, Westy is the best right handed bat we have right now for this park. We need someone else like Westy that plays outfield. Bregman would be nice but I don't see it because of Westy and I have hopes Holliday becomes the OBP lead off hitter we need. Note - I'm still pissed but it's getting better. I think I'll live for another season.

      I’d like to see a study showing that team spending is more closely correlated to owner net worth than team revenue.  There are rare instances where a team owner will subsidize spending (e.g., Cohen) but that’s the exception not the rule - and note that Cohen owns 97% of the Mets vs a much lower % for Rubinstein.  Rubinstein has already been explicit that he is not in this to lose money.

      Cowser’s  swing decisions are determined before the pitch is even thrown. And I’ve been saying this all year, and I even said this at the game. I go it’s too early to pinch it for him because his defense is too good but he is 100% going to strike out and that’s exactly what he did with bases loaded. He decides whether he is going to swing a pitch before even thrown This is why he swings at a pitch thrown pretty close to his face . And To be fair, he  had a pretty good season doing that but obviously can be  easily exploited

      Cowser's progress was one of the more encouraging elements this season, especially on the defensive side. I was already crediting him with being Some Kind of Good major leaguer a post back. Between his and Adley's standout bad performances on the HBP and 2-0 count, I give Cowser more of a grace.     Sure he had predetermined intent to swing, but I think the follow through was some raw instinct as hand bones fractured. Adley not swinging was the lowlight how incapacitated he was.    I believe he commands the strike zone, but to feel so low you can't pull the trigger in that spot...sheesh.
