Wouldn't it be great if those "fringe " starters had enough humility to make themselves a valuable bullpen piece for a title run instead of being DFA'd because nobody needs 3, 5th starters?

I dream of these things

Suarez pitched in Korea last year.

Irvin was one bad outing from being DFA'd last season.

Both have been in the bullpen this year already a few times. I don't think it's an issue. Povich was probably going to make the bigs sometime this season but they had to accelerate the timeline because of the Kremer injury. Kremer is a legit 3rd starter now, they need another guy at his level (or better of course) so they have the pitching needed for the playoffs.

Rockies win in walk-off after bases-loaded pitch clock violation​

Ryan McMahon drew a bases-loaded walk on a full-count pitch clock violation by Kyle Finnegan as the Colorado Rockies scored two runs in the ninth inning for an 8-7 victory over the Washington Nationals on Saturday night.

It was the first game decided by a pitch clock violation in major league history. Nationals closer Finnegan leads the league with nine pitch clock violations this season.

"I'm just trying to focus on the pitch and then location," Finnegan said. "I thought I picked up the clock. I guess by the time I picked up and looked at the catcher and delivered the pitch, I was just a hair too late. Those situations, it just can't happen. We deserved to win, and I wasn't able to do my job."

"You hate to see a game decided that way, but I'm happy it worked out in our favor," McMahon said. "I'm never looking [at the clock]. I'm letting the umpire do his job. I didn't know what was going on until the umpire said something."

The pitch clock was adopted in 2023, but the time between pitches with runners on base was shortened from 20 seconds to 18 this season.

Skenes matched Fried in terms of innings pitched, runs gave up, and hits. Against a much better Braves line up than what Fried had to face.

Both pitchers did what they were supposed to do to put their team in position to win.

Braves ball park is pretty nice and the immediate surrounding area (the Battery) is pretty cool.

Even though Skenes didn't get the win, he didn't get the loss and performed well.

A nice day.
