Kind of similar, but with a couple of pretty big differences. At that time, Chris Waters had never pitched above the AA-level, except for 1 game the season before. Gonzalez, on the other hand, not only has pitched great at the AAA-level this whole season, but he has also pitched well at the major league level in his 3 games of long-relief (11.67 innings total, or almost 4 innings per outing) this year.

So, a great game by Gonzo Part II would indeed be surprising, but not quite as shocking as Chris Waters' mastery of the Angels on that fateful night back in 2008.

I just remember Waters pitching his first MLB start against the Angels and how surprised everyone was, myself included. I think Mike G. has a lot more going for him, I just love the journey men's stories and thought about Waters (being first MLB start against LAA for both guys). But thanks for the numbers and info, I found that interesting, rep your way.

Man... Tillman and Gonzo 2.0 have been a breath of fresh air for a team hurling towards the basement.

What a terrific shot in the arm tonight.

I think what struck me most about Gonzalez (and I could be misinterpreting abject terror) is the fact that he was stone-faced for the entirety of his outing. I know it's almost completely (quite possibly completely, without reservation) irrelevant, but he just looked...calm. That alone separated him from Matusz and (especially) Arrieta (a.k.a. "The Tick," a.k.a. "Dear Diary...Help!") from my perspective.

and that is why you shold have left him in for the 8th

Joking right? Gonzalez was done in the 7th and survived that despite his command starting to wane. His longest outing of the season was six innings before last night. Fantastic job tonight but as long as Gonzo 2.0 is giving us 6 to 7 solid innings a start, I'm a happy camper.

He has a real nice splitter!

      Nobody put words in your mouth.  I asked you questions.  That you can't answer them should suggest to you how thought out our positions are. 1) The goal is the World Series.  What makes you think it isn't? 2)  That's the most generic statement possible that is impossible to analyze, 3) So Elfin, Burnes, Bradish, Cano, etc.  don't count because you don't want them to count.  But other than that, he's got a bad track record of trading..... .like what trade?  Are we all supposed to go insane and only evaluate one trade- the Rodgers trade- in the most hyperbolic terms necessary to justify our hyperbole? 4) So we judge him for hypothetical trades that we didn't make and can't even be analyzed?  LOL. Flaherty was a worthless trade?  This is the same Flaherty that started Game 1 of the World Series this year, right? Oh, so you just want to cry about Rodgers ad nauseum?  Cry ahead. So you want to fire the most successful GM we've had since Pat Gillick but you haven't even thought about who'd you replace him with?  And wouldn't even bothered until he was fired?  You understand how stupid that is, right?

      Rubenstein: Orioles will speed up the effort to get to a World Series

      I think he’s all in. That’s why I have hope that he will resign Burnes and add some veteran offensive a talent to help the team play better in October

      Rubenstein: Orioles will speed up the effort to get to a World Series

      This is as plausible a theory as any other that has been trotted out since the end of the regular season and it's one I fully subscribe to. Personally however, I think restraint is advisable when it comes to comparing his historical business leadership to his newfound role as 75 year-old billionaire owner of a a sports franchise.  Especially given his demonstrated propensity for dancing on the home team dugout during the seventh inning stretch.

      Noted … I’d much rather have Teoscar. They would need to determine if Profar is the 2024 player or prior.

      Stop putting words in my mouth!    1) The goal needs to be the World Series 2) We need to spend wisely …but we need to spend 3) Oh Stop ….i gave him credit for Eflin and Burnes. The others were during the rebuild and selling trades. Which I said in my response to you,  4) It’s not one trade …. He’s tried to get help2 deadlines now. Beyond Eflin at two deadlines he’s done little to help the team reach the ultimate goal.    His moves in 2023 were Jack Flaherty who was basically worthless and Fuji who was so inconsistent that he’s not even pitching in the majors. Did I forget anyone? He did little to help an offense that was struggling mightily in 2024. He gave a lot away this deadline. They got Eflin but most everything else was mediocre or worse. The Rogers deal was just horrible. And why was he shopping in the bargain bin pile. Rogers was a 4.5 ERA starter before the trade which really wasn’t an upgrade and he crapped the bed after he got here.    I’m undecided over who I’d go after to replace Elias when the times comes.
