Irvin got a raw deal getting bounced from the rotation so early. Hopefully he finishes strong and earns a spot next year.

We keep chasing that high fastball, we are going to have trouble.

Did he get a raw deal? 12.2 innings with 15 earned runs given up in his 3 starts before being sent down. 17 hits, 8 walks, and 2 dingers.

He's definitely been solid since then, though.

We just saw a small sample as to why Irvin got bounced from the rotation. A gopher ball to a .220 hitter with just two homers (now three).

Maybe not a raw deal, but only 12.2 IP before being sent out?

Considering how horrendous those innings were and that he was more of a fringe guy to start, it was justifiable.

Waldichuk's numbers are early, but he's been pretty good the last month +. Won't be an easy game.

He just got a raw deal when the ump missed the called 3rd strike.


Where are the robo umps?

Interesting series. Throwing Gibson and Irvin against the worst team in baseball and seeing what happens!

Hays and McCann with bombs and the Orioles take the lead.

McCann is on some kind of tear. At just the right time, too.

Mateo can not hit, but he can pick it.

Plus he is a plus defensive catcher.

Rutschman continues to crush the ball but has nothing to show for it tonight

Give Cole another inning. Keep Fuji in the pen.

Why did Hyde pull Irvin after a 5 pitch inning? And of course Fuji gives up the lead. Such a mistake Hyde.
