I'll feel as badly for the Yankees and their fans as they have felt for us Orioles fans through the dark times. - that is,  complete indifference.

Go O's!!

I definitely hate the Yanks, but I kinda like Jazz.. he’s got Chutzpah.

Gotta catch the ball Jackson

All of these throws over to first just prolong the inevitable.  When they want to steal,  they're going to steal and we can't stop them.

He’s not a MLB caliber pitcher with an 89 mph fastball. And his secondary stuff is hanging. This isn’t competitive and Elias got hoodwinked.

Elias knew what he was getting. The problem was probably arrogance. “We can fix him, and then won’t we look so smart.”

The whole you can only throw to first twice thing is so dumb. As you said, all it does is delay the inevitable. Mine as well just say no throw overs.

They wanted shorter games with more stolen bases.

Rogers is the kind of pitcher you pick up in the offseason for a low level, like 25th best prospect.  Not at the deadline for our 5th best prospect and a ML ready OF.

Preach, brothah…

Some guys just aren’t fixable (mid season). Maybe they’ll be smart in the offseason but gifting this guy a rotation spot seems very unwise for next season.

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

They viewed him as a #5. He needs to be better obviously

I've had enough of the Messin with Sasquatch commercials

[OriolesMagic83]

Does Rogers have options?

[oriolediehard]

We want to give the Yankees yesterday's loss back to them.  The Nats are not world beaters fighting for a playoff spot.. I am not in the mood to lose today!!!!

This guy isn’t even a #7. It’s bad. Povich and Irvin are better than this.

I can't imagine Rogers will even be on the playoff roster
