Not much.

I don't think they make a move unless Britton gets rocked. They have that off day of the 1st so that will help. They could start Gausman on Friday if needed and then the next start needed would be July 6th and Chen could get in his two rehab starts or one if that is all they think he needs. I doubt they go out an make a trade for a starter for that one start they will patch work it. The 5th starter will depend on Britton because that is who he will be replacing if they feel he can be the 5th starter then they may not make a trade. Though i still hope they do.

1. Chen

2. Tilman

3. Gonzo

4. Hammell

5. Britton

maybe that will be enough in their eyes.

What happened to all of the pitching we thought we had back in ST? Turns out our depth wasn't as deep as we thought.

This. You can copy and paste every year for the past 5 years. Burns me up. Yet, people didn't think we needed another arm this offseason? Ugh.

They struck gold with Davis and Mclouth really stuck out with the bullpen and the starting pitching. Lacking of Pitching is on DD's head. He rolled the dice and crapped out.

Sorry bad day. Maybe I am too worked up over baseball:) It does make me upset we have the same conversation every year for the past several years-not enough starting pitching. Surprise-the Arrietta's and Britton's of the world aren't panning out...blah blah. It gets old. The front office should be in front of this. End rant:)

Well then. It is important to not get upset. We ain't getting much.

You are right.

It's a tough business. I feel bad for Freddy, he looks like a decent guy. But he was given a fair shot, I hope he appreciates that. And to think he was working on a no-hitter in his first start.

I hope can move to the BP.

So, Gausman makes one start in AAA, shows the same issues (of missing in the middle of the plate and seeing those mistakes hammered), yet he's called back up and is among the relievers?

Now, maybe the Orioles have decided that for now his stuff works better one time through an order, but it seems a bit strange to take a top prospect like this and use him as a reliever. It's even more strange if they put him back in the rotation. Regardless, it sure will be interesting to see how this all shakes out.

As an earlier poster mentioned, the Cardinals have been doing it for years, and they are perhaps the most elite team in the majors right now in terms of producing pitching talent and getting the most out of their veterans who come from other organizations.

Adam Wainwright, Lance Lynn, Shelby Miller, Trevor Rosenthal, and Carlos Martinez were/are all high-end starting pitching prospects that spent (or are spending, as is the case with Rosenthal) time in the bullpen.

And of course, the Orioles in their glory days were one of the leading organizations of that kind of pitching development. I like this move with Gausman, whether it's temporary or more long-term for this season.

Granted, I don't think Gausman will be in the bullpen too long. I think he will get some starts once the fifth spot (or the spot Garcia was pitching in yesterday) in the rotation comes back around. But I wouldn't be opposed to him spending a few weeks there, or longer if Britton succeeds and Chen comes back soon.

Except the Orioles aren't doing this as part of a plan. Up, down, up, down, up, down. Start in the minors one week and tinker with mechanics, major league bullpen the next week, etc. They don't seem to have a plan for Gausman's development. The willy nilly nature of what they seem to be doing with him is troubling. And the O's history with pitching prospects, including recent history under this regime, does not inspire confidence.

      O’s cap every game

      By Frobby · Posted

      I must be in the minority.  I pay no attention to what uniforms and caps are worn on a given day.  You could ask me five minutes after the game what caps the team wore, and I wouldn’t be able to tell you. But I could tell you what happened in the game in vivid detail.

      Speculating on how the O's handle the pitching logjam

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I don’t see any kind of “logjam”. That would imply some sort of challenge with having too much talent in one place/spot. What we have is a hodgepodge of mediocre to below average pitchers who are very interchangeable in terms of their talents (or lack there of). Of the pitchers that you mentioned, probably Bradish (who we don’t know about right now coming off the elbow injury) and maybe Suarez (very small sample size) are any good.  The rest …. They can be swapped out for one another and I don’t think any real difference is made. I hope Means can be the John Means of 2021. But the reality is that was a long time ago at this point. I don’t think that it is very probably that he will make it through the season and pitch effectively into October and be healthy the whole time. That’s probably pie in the sky/wishful thinking at this point.

      This question was kind os answered today on BaltimoreBaseball.com.  I seem to recall that the choice was scheduled, Friday was black jersey and O's cap (before the city connect) and Saturday was the orange jersey.  Wondering when they changed to starting pitcher's choice.   https://www.baltimorebaseball.com/2024/04/26/midday-mailbag-orioles-wear-black-jerseys-often/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=midday-mailbag-orioles-wear-black-jerseys-often&utm_source=BaltimoreBaseball.com+List&utm_campaign=06dfb0fd98-RSS_MAILCHIMP&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_cddc084dff-06dfb0fd98-47594557&mc_cid=06dfb0fd98&mc_eid=f169a521ef

      Most quality major league starter's hold their velocity throughout their starts. They may cruise for a bit, but have it when they want it. Typically command goes long before velocity.

      Do we not want to throw a left hander and take advantage of the spacious left field?

      4/25: Bowie Wins, Only Team Above .500

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Thank goodness a minor league system is not judged on wins and losses, because they are putting many Ws up of late. Delmarva is pretty much an embarrassment right now from the hitting side. The first real wave of international position prospects have been left wanting after the first month or so of the season. The Shorebirds are scoring a league low 2.29 runs per game and slashing a league worse .182/.259/.263/.523. The Tides pitching outside of Povich and McDermott to a lesser extent has been pretty bad minus a few decent relieves in Vespi, Krook and Charles.  Elias/Sig's thought on being able to identify pitching talent through pitch shapes and spin rates through the draft after the 10th round has been a pretty big failure. Armbruster was the flag ship pitcher and he's been a flop this year so far, though I had already seen major red flags from him last year. Not surprisingly these guys struggle at the high levels and why they were available that late. Glad to see Elias made a change in his draft philosophy last year and went after some younger, higher ceiling guys like Forret vs 21-year old juniors in those later rounds.

      Akin currently has a FIP of 1.11. He’s struck out 15 and walked 3 in 10 innings without yielding a homer.  I consider that well.
