That is Gausman's night to pitch after starting for Norfolk last Sat. Buck has not announced a starter yet.

He has averaged a 0.00 ERA in his last three starts with a 1.06 WHIP in 75 pitches in 4.2 IP. He is ready to move to 90 pitches.

See what Roch has to say:

He just got back from the DL, he is still on a pitch count, we don't need him, he needs to pitch at AAA....

Why does this proposed move make sense?

It doesn't. He might as well have pointed out that Gausman, not Gonzo, was on the team calendar.

I'd be very surprised if Gausman were called up, considering that Gonzalez was very good his last time out and Gausman hasn't been allowed to exceed ~75 pitches yet and still has some things to work on. I covered all that in another thread and won't repeat all my points here.

At the same time, I am not going to say it's impossible.

Why would they replace Gonzo. He had a very good game last time out. You have Gausman on the brain.

Because he has been more consistent than Gonzalez. Gonzalez can easily be transitioned to the BP and may actually be a guy we can consider for closer. He has not been great so far this year in the rotation and because he had one good start is not a great reason.

I could even envision a scenario where they promote Gausman and Chen and Gonzalez are skipped for their respective starts as Gausman is stretched out effectively giving us a six man rotation.

Then again it may be too soon. We are in 1st place, but I would be in support of the move.

I think Gonzo is the starter most in danger of losing his job to Gausman, but we're not at that point yet.
Gonzo is only in danger of losing his job if the fans are making the decision. It's ridiculous. If Chen is injured it doesn't make sense to start Gonzo on short rest

      Jud Fabian, 2024

      Sure, he’s by no means somebody that the Orioles should be overly resistant to part with if he’s a necessary piece in a deadline deal. But he’s not superfluous in the system so he’s not somebody I would expect they look to offer up as trade bait. I think the Orioles will try to deal from their strength in infield, corner OF and C, and avoid trying to deal any pitchers or CF. But if the team they’re trading with is demanding pitching or CF in return, Fabian and others the Orioles would probably prefer to hang onto will be on the table. Like when the Orioles traded Zach Showalter in the Flaherty deal last year, likely because the Cardinals were demanding pitching.

      Please please please stop with the Bauer! It's unbelievably tired, and smarter minds than you or I have decided that he's not worth the trouble. That means something. ME knows what he's doing.

      It’s been a dramatic reversal. His command also looked good in Spring Training - 4 BB in 10.2 IP - so it was surprising to see it so bad early in the year. Hopefully it was just that back injury leading to the command issues and he’s over it now.

      Teams will never give him the hoped for mega bucks.  Even if he was unlikely to ever get much more than a two year deal.  No it seems no team will give him even a real good one year deal.  He will be forced to accept a "prove it deal" Honestly it might be time to go the Trevor Bauer deal.  Sign him for one year deal and if he is too much distraction you cut him.  No way a team does not sign him if he is not being intentionally black balled.  The Orioles could afford to take the chance being a great team a couple of arms away from winning it all.

      Baumann traded for Blake Hunt

      Considering we were DFA and losing him for zippo it a decent pick up. BTW, Hunt is showing in Seattle’s top 30 (#23) on MLB.com.

      By wildcard · Posted

      Whether this is a good trade will depend on how good Hunt is defensively and with pitch calling as a catcher.    Right now I just throw him into the mix with Handley as a backup catcher. Its not a good sign that Tampa traded him for another minor league catcher. Means' yet to be determined arm issue and Kremer issue with a blister makes the loss of Baumann something to watch. Heasley and  Povich look like the next men up if the O's need to add a pitcher from AAA. Glad to see McGough move from AA to AAA.

      Time to see Cedric Mullins get his act together in Norfolk for a while. He's got some work to do.
