We now have all kinds of pitchers showing up in Roger's Neighborhood. And any Burnes contract with Boras at the helm, is likely to be ridiculous. What SG said. Pass on Burnes and off to infinity with this thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nah … Burnes is only getting so much due to age and peripherals. 
 

Elias will make the bad decision to keep Rogers no matter how bad he sucks because he will look bad if they release him.

What has he ever done that would make you think he makes decisions on this basis?  He optioned Cole Irvin three starts after trading for him and then DFA'd him twice this year...

Or could you get Lucas Erceg for a package of Seth Johnson, Chace, Norby, and Stowers? He could have been a shut down reliever this year and potentially converted to a starter next year.

Erceg is cheap and not a free agent until 2030.  Seems unlikely they were looking trade him at all much less for that package.

He clearly didn’t expect him to be claimed.

They traded him to the Royals (for whom he is now the closer) at the deadline for the Royals 6th best prospect.

Wow, I forgot about that trade.  Great point.  There must be something about Erceg that made all other teams hesitate.  I guess it's the fact that he was a rookie at age 28 on a bad team and didn't really stand out until this season?  We'll have to wait and see.

The Norfolk ERA only got down to 5.85 with the big blowup early, but Rogers ended up pitching to a 17.5 K-bb% in 28.2 AAA innings, a little behind Povich/McDermott and a little ahead of Young.

I have half a feeling he makes an appearance this week.    I think the club wants him to keep working on whatever he is working on, and he could even be a roster preference over Baker or Bowman depending what you want from the last 1-2 guys in the arm barn any given matchup.

Obviously Grayson gets one of those Baker/Bowman spots if he can.    I think competitive due diligence is weighing and measuring McDermott and Young against those last couple guys too.

I think that was because he was an infielder turned pitcher is why the late start

    • It's like Cowser isn't even trying.  🤣
    • @Chelsea_Phil sometimes dreams do come true.
    • My heart is out off this team until they fire Harbaugh. This game is a perfect example of a Harbaugh team.  Orr is over his head as a D-coordinator. Monken doesn't known how to call plays to close out games or have sustained drives when he needs one.  Harbaugh was hugging guys and telling them how much he loves them and was counting his win at half time instead of keeping his game face on allowing his team to lose focus. But we've had this conversation here. We've seen these games. Harbaugh/Monken are lucky they have a QB that can do it himself sometimes because neither of them have a real clue and Orr was just promoted too early in his career.       
    • It's just another John Harbaugh led team. As long as the Ravens employ him as the head coach, no lead will ever be comfortable, the Ravens will always have stupid penalties, stupid clock management, and better head coaches poached away from the team. It's good to be one of the boys of an owner who only cares about taking money baths. 
    • I didn't watch a pitch Sunday after that Saturday debacle. I had a charity ride to attend anyways, but I was not wasting a Sunday on this 2024 squad.  I'll probably watch some of the Yankees game, but my heart is out of this squad. I still want them to win, but they have given me no reason since May to think this team has any special abilities.  Injuries hurt them for sure, but they just don't have that "it" factor. They have the choke factor down pat though. I can deal with a bad team. Hell, I ran this place through the darkest, leanest years.  But what I can't deal with is an anti-clutch team. This is a team that can look victory in the face and find a way to lose. This is team with no ability to finish off a comeback.  Hell, even in their walk offs it's after their relievers choked away a lead.  The lack of hitting is boring. The lack of situational hitting is boring. The strikeout/homerun all or nothing approach is boring. The fact that they no longer steal bases or put pressure on the defense unless you count Masolino getting guys thrown out by 10 feet, is boring. The fact that both of their super prospects not came up did poorly, but literally crapped the bed and hit like pitchers is boring.  The fact that both of their number one overall selections have been either bad or awful is boring.  The fact that the "TOR" they picked up this offseason took a month and half "off" is boring. The fact that the Orioles still have Jimenez and Rivera on this team is boring.  It's just a boring team.  I'm just not interested in this 2024 squad and have zero faith in them that they can do anything in the playoffs. Even against the Royals (who will run all over the Orioles if they play them) or Twins, I don't give them much of a chance.  I'll never root against an Orioles team, and I hope that some miracle happens and they suddenly become a better team. But I will continue to say that this has been one of the most frustrating Orioles Playoff teams of all time. 
    • Now that Snyder has gone I can passively hope they do well. They should have kept the old name (Washington Football Team).
    • Daniels just completed a pass for 55 yards thru the air.  The guy has a heck of an arm.  Commanders look like a good team again and are dominating an 0-2 Bengals team that is desperate for a win.  21-10 in 2nd quarter.
