Gausman still could be the fifth starter right away

[joedogg9999]

Ill bite, who would lose their spot if Gausman stays? I don't think this should happen, just curious people's thoughts.

I think he is first man up if an injury occurs.

Well hes looked just as good as anyone else, and probably better. 8 ks through 4 right now

Glad we have someone who can give them the heater and does not have to hope that everything is just perfect to succeed.

And can work his way out of difficulty by giving him the heater. BTW, several of his strike outs were on off-speed pitches and sliders.

Good to hear, thx Weams.

The "Gas" man.

Take my blues away.

67 pitches to get through 4 innings is a little higher than you'd like to see, but you gotta love those 8 K's.

I would love to have Gausman, Bundy and Santana knocking down the door in June. We can easily trade a starter at the July deadline. If we keep them all, Chen is going to need more of a break later in the year.

Interesting angle... Having this kind of depth may allow us to skip a few of Chen's starts around July/August, the time of year he usually wears down. I wouldn't have a problem with that, as it might keep Chen healthy and ready to go for the stretch run and the playoffs.

I could also Bundy being used in a later reliever role this year if the back end of our bullpen falters.

Its fantastic Gausman could be the 5th starter right now.

But its even better knowing the Orioles do not need Gausman to be the 5th starter right now. :clap3:

What more does he have to do? Dealing tonight in AAA hitting 100mph. This Kid should be starting for us.

Who cares about velocity, was it a strike?

Throwing strikes isn't a problem for Gausman.

Throwing quality strikes is.

I'm sure he'll throw many strikes, not really his problem.

More to the point, but I'd still take him in the rotation as of now.
