2014 Miguel Gonzalez Today

[Mayor McCheese]

Nope as a starter.

He will start. I dont see them putting anyone of our starters right now into the pen. Probably use Gausman and skip Chen/Gonzo/Norris in the rotation until they figure out what to do.

So, how long do we give Buck, the coaching staff, and DD? April 15th? April 30th? If they're not back in contention in a week or two you gotta think they don't really want it enough and it's time to clean house. When the World Series is your goal you can't wait around to see if this is just four games, or rather the beginning of 1998-2011 all over again. You gotta do something!

One start each should be enough. Maybe not even one for Norris because, well, everybody just knows about Norris. Definitely time to clean house.

Let's get rid of Thorne and Manfra while we're at it...

Is Gausman in Detroit now? I heard last night that they were bringing him up in case the game was rained out today. If he's here, why not pitch him on Sunday? He pitched a pretty good game last year against the Tigers. 6 IP, 1 ER on 5 hits.

Well, the Ice Cold part was right.

That was ugly.

Gausman is listed as the starter in Norfolk at 7 pm tonight.

I can't see any of the O's starter being replaced until they make three starts unless they are injured.

Unless they're hurt they should get 6-8 weeks.

Ryu gave up six runs in the first inning today. Is he awful too?

[weams]

Unless they're hurt they should get 6-8 weeks.

And they will. People started a thread to as which of our starters would be replaced first. The answer I gave is which ever one is injured first.

[Jonesy10]

Thought this was interesting. Last season Tillman got a lot of attention (well deserved), but Gonzo had an ERA that was just .07 points higher and a WHIP that was just .005 points higher. They were basically identical pitchers last season, except Gonzo made 5 less starts. He will be just fine.

April 9

Gonzo hung in there tonight. Not the best I've seen from him, but he kept us in the ball game.

I agree ...all it all it wasn't a bard start ...but dam it's frustrating to see a pitcher get run support and then immediately give it back.

[Il BuonO]

I'm not too impressed with him right now though he seemed to settle down toward the end. The outing is best exemplified with the SO of Jeter in which the final pitch was maybe the most perfect pitch at the bottom of the zone he could have thrown. Every other pitch was all over the map completely missing Wieters target like he did for much of the start. I actually think Jeter was surprised he put it there.

And the Yankees missed on some chances early on after blistering some balls off Gonzalez. Somehow he got through six.

[Brooks The Great]

I'd only give him two more starts to show something. If he gets blasted in his next two starts, time for Gausman. If Gausman isn't already in the rotation in place of Norris. If that's the case, time for Britton.
