Orioles will recall RHP Preston Guilmet

[LA2]

Agree 110% but he is still the best closer in the organization regardless of that.

Even though he's never closed?

The 9th inning is only one out of nine innings. We lost yesterday's game in the first.

How can you say that about someone who has never closed a game?

[Tx Oriole]

He gave up six runs in a third of an inning two appearances ago. Other than that, he's been good.

Oh wow.

[Rene88]

Oh wow.

Yeah-he was absolutely creamed HOWEVER....he really has looked good other than that. Perhaps he was feeling sick...who knows...definitely an implosion.

[Tx Oriole]

Interesting move, call up a guy with AAA closer experience while Tommy is struggling. I wonder if Britton is taking over and Guillmet goes into the mix for Britton's spot. Who is our long man?

Or is this just a temporary move while TJ won't be available for a few days?

I hope temporary. You don't want to move Britton. He is having success where he

is. IMO

Sorry but how can you be so sure of that?

Okay. Maybe so. Hope he does well up to Baltimore.

This makes it surprising they called up Guilmet. I thought Buck would want someone with some length. I was expecting Steve Johnson (since Stinson is off the 40-man.)

The Guillotine cometh.

That's a winner!

Current Tigers are 3 for 9 with 2 home runs off Johnson.

SSS plus most likely he'd only pitch in junk time if he did get in a game. Sacrifice to keep the rest of the pen fresh.

But he's not going to pitch at all during this series.

Steve Johnson looked to be the guy, then they went in another direction.

Not now.

I just thought they'd want a long man. You know how hard Buck tries to protect his pen.

I expect to see to Gausman on Thursday. I believe the O's management think he is ready for the majors. Guilmet is just a fill in until Gausman is available. Gausman pitched on Sat. and is not available until Thursday.

Just mine opinion.
