And another sac fly bc Rogers can't strike out anyone

Elias really whiffed on Rogers. 4 runs to the Nationals is pathetic. It’s only the 4th. 8 baserunners, only 1 strikeout.

Hey, but we have him for 2 more years!

Rogers just has crud stuff. Who scouted this soft tossing lefty and was like, this is what we need.

Cole Irvin 2.0. 

Not sure what SIGBOT sees in these guys but time to adjust the algorithm.

Rogers reminds me of the O's pitchers from the Dark Ages.

Surely these jackolanterns have access to Statcast. Because ain’t nothing likable on there.

Hate to say it, but it’s time to get Cole Irvin back.   That’s how bad Rogers is 

I agree.

Weird, it's almost like the drop in velocity over his last three syarts was a sign. 

Nah, Elias and Sig are too smart.

[LookitsPuck]

Bring back Povich.

I think they think …. they can fix/tweak some guys. Obviously isn’t working now.

Os need 10 runs today to win

I think they saw:

Left Handed

Affordable salary and prospect cost

Additional team control past this season.

And that was enough.

It’s a dumb move to try and fix somebody whose stuff is just bad in the middle of a playoff chase.

Povich may not have good command, but he didn't get hit hard.

If I was scouting Rogers in the minors I would be a NP on him. 

No velocity or out pitch.

[Sports Guy]

DC has 4 hard hit balls all night…2 by wood and staying away from his power.  All 4 are singles. 
 

Rogers has had some bad luck but there is also the issue of not missing bats and getting Ks. It’s so important.
