I look at Rogers as pitching depth. The O's have used 32 pitchers so far this season. I am sure Rogers will figure into next years team somewhere. If Povich, McDermott or Young are better than him next spring so be it. Rogers has options.
As far as trading Norby and Stowers for him, I am sure they were both offered to Tampa and Philly as well as all the 29 teams as Elias looked for pitching. A back end starter in Rogers is the best that was offered.
Elias' mission at the deadline was to improve the O's pitching without trading Holliday, Basallo, Mayo or Kjerstad. He did that. I am sure he didn't want to trade prospects for veterans but that was the situation he and the team were in.
Someone on the O's staff thinks they can make Rogers into an asset. They would not have traded for him otherwise.
So true and Lamar missing open Wrs or Wrs not getting open in the first place.. Harbaugh burning TOs in the 3rd quarter. The D can't come up with a big stop. The coaching you name it. It's always one thing or another against these guys
Harbaugh should have a DNA test done because Jack isn't his daddy Andy Reid is. And of course MaHomes got the best of Lamar again. It's hard to get excited about this season knowing one way or another KC will send the Ravens home again in January if the Ravens even get there. It's always something always something
