I finally found an Orioles pitcher named Gonzalez that I like. Let's start this guy and send Arietta to pen. Nice exchange benefiting the club.

He was very impressive tonight. Tony and I were back and forth in the game thread... his FB seemed pretty straight to me. Tony agreed. But he had something going on. Some deception I guess.

Must be a good feeling to see Wieters have his back in his first outing.

For the WHOLE team!

I think he did very well in his first ml game. The strikeouts were impressive and he looked comfortable on the mound. Looking forward to his next appearance.

I was impressed. I wish our relievers did a better job with inherited runners, this would have been a ballgame. He settled in nicely.

I wish our relievers didn't inherit so many runners. He only gave up one legitimate hit in that inning.

FB may be straight but he can command it. Mixes pitches well.

And, it's long-suffering fanbase.

Yep....you can do without movement if you can put it on the spot where you want it. It looked to me like "Gonzo" could effectively work the perimeter of the plate and mix in some breaking stuff when needed.

Really? It looked like it had some good action moving to the right, jamming a couple of hitters including Bautista. I mean...nobody's going to mistake it for a JJ or Arietta fastball, but I wouldn't call it "straight".

Overall...I think he could be a pretty good long man as long as he never throws his slider. That pitch isn't going to get anybody out at this level. His curve and change-up are good enough to get ML hitters out, though.

Send Arrieta to the pen?? Not a good move that would be.
