Selby's not a fresh arm?

Yes, comparably. It was covered earlier in the thread. He hadn't pitched in like 5 or 6 games.

Would love to see them get creative and send Rogers down if you need a fresh arm. If you’re gonna trust Selby in a close game like that, keep him up here. Otherwise just keep the status quo for now.

As for who would start in his place later this week: Brandon Young.

No reason to NOT send Rogers down. He needs work. Get a bullpen arm until the next time a rotation arm is needed and then bring up Irvin.

Pretty sure Elias was driving through an Amish village in Lancaster, PA when he saw Selby throwing rocks against a barn and signed him. 

He clearly had his best stuff in his debut last night. The knucklecurve is a high spin rate pitch. Looks like the Orioles had him ditch the low spin 4-seamer he was using with KC. He still can't land the knucklecurve in the zone very much but it was a nice pitch movement wise and did get whiff on one of the only two swings the six got.

He had a few of these outings with Pittsburgh then would come out and have a clunker judging by his game logs last year. He was consistently inconsistent. Let's see how he looks the next time, but that was a nice debut.
