He’s been great at home and awful on the road so that isn’t good but he has been great vs lefties and horrible vs righties and the Tigers are left handed heavy so that is good.  He has been god awful in the day but pretty good at night but the Tigers hit better at night.  So with all that said who the heck knows he is a rookie in his 14th start. 

So what you're telling me is he has extreme splits. Lol

I think this is the Orioles low point and with Starters healthy I expect 2025 to be very good.  Having a lefty in the Rotation is so needed and maybe Povich is the one.  We will see in 2025.   No one could have endured what the Orioles did in 2024 with Starters injuries and made much out of the season.  I generally do not use injuries as an  excuse, but this really was the situation in 2024.   I thing any fair minded person would  say it was the case this year.   So 2025, I have great hopes for.  Go Orioles.

He pitched well.

5.0 IP, 2 ER, 8 Ks, 2 BB; 89-57 (64%); that's 17.8 pitches per inning. 

Seems like they didn't want him to see the Tiger's lineup a third time. 

Bullpen gave up 2 ER in a tight game, imagine that. 

Bats just didn't show up.

The bats hardly ever show up. Sadly I kind of just want this season to be done with. Such a disappointment

Really gotta be happy with Povich’s growth this year. 8 good to great starts, 3-4 uncompetitive/bad ones, and 2 that he pitched decent aside from a single inning.

He walked 23 people in his first 8 starts, and in the last 6 only 7!

Great point.  And one of the few really nice bright spots right now...to see he was able to make such a dramatic turnaround with his control/command.  Let's hope it continues and we have ourselves a nice back end of the rotation starter that we don't have to trade prospects for or sign to a big contract...

      I think the writing was on the wall after Hyde let him get torched last night. He's completely snakebit. It's gotta be in his head. How many times has he come in and get the first two outs relatively easy and then just implodes?

      Elias…DFA Kimbrel now!!

      I've been adamant that at some point, CK may have realized that this is probably his last year in a big league uniform. Whether that meant that he was overextending himself early then faltered due to fatigue, loss of control/command, etc.. I cannot say but I do wonder if that realization followed by a demotion, lead to him not caring as much. I mean, he's made his money for this year. Some of the rumors about clubhouse stuff, I could see CK being at the center of that, even if not necessarily by his own doing but if others on the team felt like he received preferential treatment or if they felt he was being treated unfairly a la the James McCann and Burnes comments about him not making the All-Star team. I'm speculating of course and probably somewhat irresponsibly repeating unfound rumors but I could see there being a division of the clubhouse (youngins / vets) around a guy like CK with how he has been managed. Whoever posted that Hyde and Elias were divided on Kimbrell, can you elaborate on that? Who was in favor of moving CK and who was in favor of keeping him?

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      I kind of believe in baseball magic, and in watching Detroit this past week or so, they have that magic right now.  9-1 for them, if they sweep us this weekend, is much more realistic than people are giving credit for.  Now, chances are we win at least one over the weekend, just like in Detroit, and that might be enough to do them in.  But acting like that is a certainty is foolish, in my opinion. And if Detroit passes us, the other two could as well - especially MN, who will get three games against us to finish off whatever gap there might be in that last weekend. The O's are a bad team right now.  3-8 for a bad team is asking more than a lot of folks here care to admit.  Yes its possible we can win the next two vs SF and then take 2/3 from the Tigers, but what has anyone seen recently to think we are going to win 4 out of 5, or even 3 out of the next 5? All that being said, the narrative that the team has 'packed it in' or is looking forward to tee times is way out of line and over the top.  Its not lack of effort here, its lack of ability and/or good players in a bad spot.  If you really think they don't care, I don't know what to tell you other than give me a break.

      Anybody know if Kimbrel will still get his $1M buyout for opting out of 2025?

      This isn’t a huge deal as he could be replacing Smith, after he went a few innings yesterday but there is some speculation that Cano is hurt, as we have not seen him pitch for a week.

      it's time for Hyde to move on, he should walk away with his head held high before this weekend. He has given all he can and is no use to the team.
