Not only will we give that run back. Maybe 2 or 3 more to go with it.

I don't see what Elias saw in Rogers?  4.53 Era and 2-9 record!!  May go down as one of our worst trades!!!!!  Stowers may be a 30 hr hitter and Norby a .270 hitter.

Elias says me like left handie

O’s have 2 innings to score, then it’s essentially over with the Guardians bullpen.

To be fair, he had been solid in June/July.

Playing in low leverage for a team that is way out of being a contender!

Rogers has put 6 base runners on in 3 innings...and a HR.

[HowAboutThat]

So why get this guy? Seriously? Because he’s been ok for 9 games?  His every stat is mediocre or worse.

Is he better than Irvin/Povich? Very low bar, so even if he is, he’s not good enough, and Mike Elias should have done better.

Maybe he will come around but his stats say he won’t.

He even walked a guy…

Ok one back..only 3 down...Rogers MUST pitch better. Hes getting hit hard.

Well it's 3 down but their bullpen is utterly nasty.  A lot more urgency.

Rogers is fooling no one.

Think the issue here are his peripherals said this would happen. We obviously want him to succeed, but Statcast and WHIP doesn’t lie.

He is being asked to be a #5 SP. I’m not expecting anything special. Have a solid QS percentage. 
 

They can work on stuff in the spring.

Stowers is 0-5 with 5K's as a Marlin. Miami fans are asking what the Marlins saw in him.

[Spakman]

Can’t even beat the catcher to first base

[oriolediehard]

A lot of happy Yankee fans!!

Fair point. Not sure the quality of opponents either.

[baltfan]

Rogers is getting torched.  Every ball in play but one has been 95 mph or higher.

Apparently he fooled Elias
