I hope Gillaspie did not rent the room for more than a night.

 

I hope he at least got to hit the breakfast buffet before the Orioles told him to get to the Greyhound station.

Back down with Givens being activated from the IL.

He should he up and taking the ball every 5th day.

Take a look at the bottom of Roch's post.

 

Reading between the lines, it looks like he expects Irvin to start Saturday.

 

also reading between the lines it looks like Hyde was not a big fan of having to use the opener at the end of the last homestand.

After those results can you blame him?

IMO there have been a number of roster decisions that have been curious, but not calling up a starter to pitch the last game of the homestand and putting it on the BP may have been the most curious.

Irvin is starting the Saturday night game.  My guess is they ship down Akin or DFA Perez.

I'm guessing it'll be Vespi.

I'm guessing it'll be Vespi.

Yep. he was optioned less than 12 hours after being called up.

Irvin up, Zimmerman down

Irvin gonna play big this year. Will be much needed with Bradish a question mark and Means slow recovery.

[Mackus]

I'd expect Irvin to be a sub-5 ERA guy but that's about it. If he's in the rotation past May, then I think we'll be looking hard at SP at the deadline.  

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Yeah Im highly skeptical of Irvin but if he wants to prove me wrong Im here for it

[NewMarketSean]

You gotta dance with the girl you brought to the prom.

 

Irvin is here, Bradish and Means are dinged up, it's on a guy like Irvin to at least give us some quality starts in the meantime.

[Mike B]

I never really thought Irvin got a lengthy shot last year.  He struggled coming out of the gate, got sent down but did okay in various roles as he went up and down.  

 

I would have had him on the playoff roster.

Welcome back. 

 

Had a very solid April, a great May, and then had 3 useful starts in June before falling off. 

 

Just needs to give you a reasonable opportunity and not immediately take you out of games.
