4.37 (1.35/.274)

62K / 18BB, 12HR

QS: 5

Last 9 starts (39 IP): (0-4) 6.92 (2.03), 11HR, 79 baserunners allowed

</b>

Gausman's struggles continue as his numbers over the last nine starts, despite three QS mixed in, have been awful and whispers of comparisons to someone named Jake have been getting a tad louder lately. He has allowed 13 runs in 20.1 June innings and has been pretty bad against the Rays for his career, but he has done well at home this season so we will see what trumps what. I can't imagine Gaus has a whole lot of confidence right now, but nothing short of an injury is going to get him out of the rotation at this point IMO. He would have to pitch like this for much longer than nine starts before that is even an option anyway, but he really hasn't looked good after the hot start for the most part.

Matt Andriese

(6-0)

2.88 (1.14/.239)

34K / 13BB, 2HR

QS: 3

CGSO (1)

Andriese made his first start of the season on May 8th after throwing 65.2 innings for the Rays last season. He actually pitched to a 2.36 ERA in May and went at least six innings in four of his five starts including a complete game two hit shutout against the A's. Then, after allowing five runs in 10.1 IP over two starts which he got the win for, he was demoted to the bullpen. I really can't figure out why the Rays would have such a quick hook after the May he had and the fact that he was 5-0 at the time, but he made three appearances out of the bullpen allowing two runs in 5.1 IP in three appearances with both runs coming in his last appearance against the Indians. He will make his return to the rotation here for game one of this doubleheader.

Manny Machado 0/2

Jonathan Schoop 0/2

Matt Wieters 0/1, BB

The Rays jumped out to an early 3-0 lead against Gallardo, but that's all they would get and it was enough to win thanks to some bad defensive plays by the Rays especially in the sixth inning and a very, very poor pitch sequence by Conger/Moore in that inning resulting in a walk to Trumbo and a first pitch bases clearing double to Davis that was easily the worst pitch of the night for him. The Rays deserved to get hammered in that inning as Moore just kept throwing fastball after fastball when offspeed probably would have struck Trumbo out and throwing a first pitch fastball over the plate to a guy that crushes first pitch strikes with the bases loaded was just asking for trouble. The defensive error by Longoria that allowed Machado to reach was huge and the throwing error off the Davis double by Forsythe to home plate allowed the third run to score on the play. Throwing Jones the same pitch that he almost hit out the first time for a second time was also asking for trouble. That probably sums up the Rays struggles right there. Other than that inning, they really didn't play that badly, but the inning was bad enough to lose them the game and the Orioles kick the series off with a win. Doubleheader tomorrow.

Gausman has really been struggling for over a month now and I worry that his confidence is being slowly eroded away as there is just no end in sight at this time. It is awkward to watch him, so I can only imagine what it must feel like for him. Andriese seems like a solid arm and should give the Orioles some trouble.

Boston beat the Rangers today to win their second in a row and stay at 1.5 games back of the Orioles while Toronto slips to 3.5 back with their loss today to the White Sox. In the Central, Cleveland has won seven in a row and have a four game lead over KC who is only a half game out of the WC. In the West, Houston wins their sixth in a row and closes to nine back of Texas and only 1.5 back in the WC as they continue their charge to wherever it is they are going and Seattle are down to StL in the ninth as they are staring a seven game skid in the face if they lose there. What a fall that team has taken.

"Let's play two" as the late great Ernie Banks would say. Back then, fans actually got a two for one. No more. But, no matter. Let's get after them today, get both ends!!! Here is one of the million reasons why baseball is better than football....Football never produced anything so sublime. My buddy, Wayne Henderson, in France, teaching his version to a French audience!!

      Offense is down in MLB this year — but not in Baltimore

      That is good news, as we have plenty of offensive potential to trade for pitching!

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      If that number is the barometer then the answer is yes. Absolutely yes!  If the goal is to one build a longer term multiple World Series winning team, then you don’t let elite/irreplaceable talent walk. Look around the game, nobody is really doing that anymore. At least not without retaining at least one franchise player to market/build around. If the other goal is to grow the franchise’s viability/relevance/fanbase/revenues within this market, you have to have superstar m/face of the franchise players that people want to see and corporations want to invest as dollars in.

      Moises Chace 2024

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Baseball America 10. Moises Chace, RHP, Orioles Chace’s stuff across the board is getting more swing-and-miss than it did a year ago. A 20-year-old righthander with High-A Abderdeen, Chace is throwing slightly harder than he did in 2023, sitting at 93-95 mph and reaching 96 mph with a riding fastball. He’s getting a high amount of whiffs both with a changeup that has good fade and separation off his fastball as well as a high-spin slider (2,700-2,900 rpm) that has sharp sweep across the zone. It’s a starter’s repertoire, though after recording a 15-to-2 strikeout-to-walk ratio in his first two starts, Chace walked six in four innings in his last outing. Control has been an issue for Chace before—he walked 53 in 68 innings last year—so while he has the stuff to start, location will be key for him to stick in that role.

      Michael Forret 2024

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Baseball America  4. Michael Forret, RHP, Orioles Forret was a 14th-round pick from State JC of Florida last year who signed with the Orioles for $450,000. He pitched in the low 90s, touched 94 mph and showed the strength projection in his 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame to think there could be more in the tank. The 20-year-old righthander has added a few ticks to his fastball already this year in Low-A Delmarva, sitting 93-95 mph and touching 97. His plus slider has been a major weapon in the low-to-mid 80s, giving him a sharp breaking ball that snaps off with late bite to miss bats. Overall, Forret has a 3.46 ERA with 19 strikeouts and three walks in 13 innings, making him one of the more intriguing sleeper prospects in the lower levels.

      What's the run scored per game average in MLB now compared to this point last year?

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Don_Aase_Fan · Posted

      I picked Adley simply because he was here first, he seems like the most realistic shot at an extension, and he’s the heart and soul of the team. Gunnar is the more elite talent, for sure, but are they going to top BWJ’s deal? Of course there is no real frame of reference for how the new ownership group will spend, but I’d be floored if they topped 11/288. Burnes has made it pretty clear that he wants to hit FA and it ultimately feels like he’ll end up back on the west coast.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I don’t know how you are assessing value? Is it to express who is being paid the least for the most productivity? Is it age vs production? Is it who is the best player right now? 5 tool talent? Something else?
