Gausman Wasn't Ready, Now What?

[Rene88]

I was not a big fan of the move, but given the options I figured why not.

I saw him get hard in Bowie, real hard. It reminds me of the game tonight.

A home run by a guy with a .192 OBP and no homers? That should tell you something.

Now what? He is listed as a starter in Detroit. I can envision that going very poorly.

Stay the course? Bring up the same retreads in AAA? What would you do?

Out of context thread, anyone?

Second and third pitches aren't ready for the bigs, yet. All he seems to have command of is his fastball, and that's not going to cut it against big league hitters.

Don't know what the answer is, aside from Chen getting healthy in a hurry.

I think it's time open up the wallet and call the Phillies about Cliff Lee. Mid-tier prospects for Lee and Bastardo in return for eating most of Lee's salary?

Wada not exactly impressing in AAA....

[joedogg9999]

His first two mlb starts. He deserves more opportunities. Ut seems like the opposing teams always know whats coming. Im not sure if thats something gausman is doing or something weiters is calling.

To me, it is clear we need to go outside the organization. This should have been done in the offseason but that is water under the bridge at this point. Just pick up the phone.

Something needs to be done.

JDubs: how is it out of context if the two games were similar?

[bmoreosfan]

God I hope Gausman is sent down to the minors before his next start. He clearly isn't ready for the big show.

I am sure this has been discussed at tremendous length, but do we trade for a starter at the deadline? If so, do we part with a bat?

You're missing what he is saying. You said you saw Gausman get hard.

That went right over your head.

Pretty sure the back to back homeruns by Bernadina and Moore Were on fastballs. Didn't get to see that Laroche homer. I know he threw the changeup a decent amount but I think I like to see it more.

I don't believe Kevin was ready either. But what they do next is anyone's guess.

DD will do something. Maybe they stay the course until Chen g?ts back.
