Not sure who the announcers are for this broadcast, but they might be OH members. Lotta excuse making for Gausman here.

Ah, there's the Kevin Gausman I know and hate.

I think they can if they draft properly and build something good on their own first.

Yeah but without LeBron Cleveland returns to being an outpost.

I think he's more talking about NBA free agents only wanting to go to desirable locations. No top flight NBA free agents consider a place like Milwaukee, for example.

Possibly? I dunno. Gausman has been good for them, not sure why they'd mess with him. But if true...haha, two contributing members of the worst Orioles season holding it down for the Braves bullpen in a playoff series.

Why's precious Kevin getting skipped?

@Barnaby Graves @big_sparxx anyone who read that SI article knows that the guy cares. I don't usually feel sorry for pro athletes but I do feel bad for that guy. He sucks at a historic level, he knows it and he's broken up about it. He cares.

I wish when growing up I wasn't such a sucker for picking the hometown teams. Being an Orioles and Redskins fan (used to root for the Wizards, not so much into the NBA anymore) has sucked. It'd be cool to have been like "Yeah, I saw the Yankees on TV one day and I liked their pinstripes and Don Mattingly's mustache so that's who I started rooting for. What do you want from me? I was 6." Nope, had to root for the dumbass local teams.

Well, we can talk about how smart we are.

I think the O's should still give him the 2.5 million or whatever each year until 2037 or whatever, starting in 2019 to walk away. If they're going to waste that money on Tillman and Rasmus, a better spend would be to have Chris Davis NOT show up to spring training and not be on the team next year. Hell, Davis has more value at 2.5 million a year and not playing than he does being out there every day. The Orioles are better giving Davis money not to play.

Saw that Manny's hair still looks stupid.

Sutcliffe during the 163 broadcast talking about how he can't believe the Orioles allowed Verdugo to remain a Dodger when they traded Manny.

He sure needs to. I largely think the issues is between his ears (after reading that, how can it not?) but it also looks like his bat speed has slowed, too.

Just read that SI article. Yikes.

Oakland Athletics slugger Khris Davis hit the most home runs in the majors with 48, and more remarkably, finished with a .247 batting average for the fourth year in a row. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, no player in MLB history has had the same batting average rounded to three decimal places in four consecutive seasons, with a minimum of 10 at-bats each year. The A's took Davis out for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning Sunday, ensuring that he would match the batting average again this season.

Forgot about O'Day. Yeah, I think he still does.

Traded away this year, plus one future Orioles HoFer: Yankees: Zach Britton Brewers: Jonathan Schoop Dodgers: Manny Machado Braves: Kevin Gausman, Brad Brach, Nick Markakis So who are you guys pulling for? I don't think the Yankees can win the WS but having Britton get a ring would take some of the sting out of it for me. I'm hoping at least one of our former players can win a WS this year. Anyone but Boston, really. I'd really love to see Nick get a ring, I think that would be so f'ing cool so I'm pulling hard for the Braves. I don't really care about Gausman and Brach but I hope they perform well in postseason action.

Yeah, I think he should get a shot for sure, I'm just not ready to anoint him a starter.

I agree with that for the most part. But .807 OPS from the left side against righties. .437 as a right handed hitter. I think there should be a referendum on him switch hitting this offseason. I know he'd have to get used to breaking pitches from the left side but maybe he just sees the ball better from that side and has an overall better swing from that side. I dunno. If not, then he should be platooned against lefties next year if he doesn't show improvement from the right side.

He's done better than I thought he would.. ..but let's not get carried away. He's gotta have a great spring. Aside from Villar, Mullins and Mancini, none of em have earned anything.

What are the chances that they can get rid of him this offseason? From what I can tell, the chances aren't great. Maybe they straight up DFA/release him but I think that's the only way. He's basically untradeable.

At least Derrick Rose made it to the league and was an MVP. Hunter Harvey is going to be lucky to get to the bigs and do anything significant. I agree with one of the earlier posts, no rehabbing, no throwing, just hang out all offseason and come to ST rested.

I can dig it.

Boston has things wrapped up, but I don't think they are going to take it easy on anyone. NY and Houston have things to play for, we are limping to the finish line. 12 games left, I can see 2 wins...maybe. 1 win wouldn't surprise me.
