That rotation doesn't feel appreciable better than what we have now.9-14 but can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Eflin, Sugano, Gibson, Povich, Young/Kremer feels much better than what we've seen, offense outside of Mountcastle will be fine.
Morton's spot will improve when he's removed and Eflin is fine but the rest of them all feel like 5ish ERA guys.

Kremer is career 4.41, Kyle Gibson 4.52; do you consider that to be "5ish"? Sugano seems to be adapting well to MLB so far. Povich has been scattershot at best. Hopefully, Wells and Bradish are closer to contributing than we think.

Look at their XFIP. Sugano has been lucky.

This is not the type of post that belongs in this thread.

I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

I don't have the same passion and emotion invested in this team like a lot of you do, so maybe it's easier for me to say this- it's still so early in the season. 22 games are nothing. If they're still 5-10 games under .500 at the end of June, then the situation is much more serious. It doesn't look like anyone in the East is going to run off and hide so the division is still in play. Certainly, the playoffs are. I get the overall angst but they're a 3-4 game winning streak from straightening the ship. Keep the faith.
That's pretty much where I'm at on it. Although the rotation concerns me for the long haul.

It's on a curve. From bmore_ken that was an extremely positive post.

Pedro is a riot. To be honest . I think this can be a playoff team. What happens when they get there(as we've seen the last 2 seasons) is a whole other topic. Some of you might be annoyed by their playoff performance. But I went to my first O's game in 1970. I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. There's been a lot of ugly the last two decades, so I'm enjoying them in the playoffs every year.
