Gausman Wasn't Ready, Now What?

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

One of the most unintentionally funny things I have ever read on this board. Awesome.

Pretty sure the back to back homeruns by Bernadina and Moore Were on fastballs.

The Moore HR was most definitely not a fastball. It was a hanging slider.

Ok. Wasn't certain. But I think his FB command is a concern as well.

Yes, let's all put our heads together and figure out what the Orioles should do next. That is like such a groovy idea.

Oopsie.....Perhaps SerenityNow and I can set up a fund to benefit typos on the Internet, we can call it the Human Fund.

I saw him get hard in Bowie, real hard.

I love it when Oriole fans talk dirty.

It really sets us apart.

[Rene88]

Lol at OFFNY.

Britton up; Gausman to Norfolk

[CheeryO]

Either Britton up as a starter or McFarland to the rotation and Britton as a reliever.

a) Matt Hobgood*

b) Dylan Bundy

c) Kevin Gausman

d) Brian Matusz

e) None of the above * I know he was #5

I vote e

Gausman throws hard, but he either is missing his spots or his fastball is pretty straight or probably both.

He should be able to throw 100% 95+ fastballs and give up less than 7 runs in 4 innings, or you might think for a #4 pick.There are many guys breaking into the majors this year 22 yo or younger that are at least competent, some like Shelby Miller have been awesome.

This is so frustrating

Two of the home runs were on fastballs when Gausman was ahead in the count. The Nationals were sitting fastball and Gausman wasn't executing as well as he could have. That's what you learn by facing major league hitters. It doesn't mean he isn't ready as much as it means he still has some growing to so at the major league level.

I think the options are: Keep Gausman here until Chen or Wada is ready. Bring Jurrjens back. Place Steve Johnson or TJ McFarland in the rotation.

I'm good with whatever DD and Buck decide.

I'm thinking the O's need to stop drafting pitchers with a top 5 pick

Read what you wrote. It is not about that.
