Its not like hes coming off a 110 pitch outing 3 days ago. It was only 70 and he has very few pitches under his belt so far this year. I think he will be fine. Besides, guys in japan routinely through 130,140 pitches a game. If the Os staff think hes fine then so do I. The league is overprotective of arms these days anyway

This is not the playoffs. We are not on the brink of falling out of the race.

I am having a hard time understanding why anyone would think that pitching the best pitching prospect in the organization on 3 days rest simply to get Chen a better matchup with KC is a good idea in any way. 99% chance KG pitches and is fine but on that off chance something happens...dear lord. Why even risk it with any decent prospect let alone a guy of KG's potential.

I still think that something else is going on here or this is just an incredibly bad idea. Its like inviting trouble. Even if he is fine for the start, if ANYTHING happens to KG this year some joker will try to correlate the two even if there is no connection. Ugh ....hate this move if actually occurs.

In my dreams the Marlins freaked out and traded Salty to the O's for Chen or Gonzales and Patton lol

They have nothing to worry about. Next September, they will have Jose back, pitching as well as Strasburg. Funny. Isn't it.

I would hope that we'd be getting something better than Salty back if we were trading Chen.

Protecting arms is the last thing that you want to be trying to do. Because you can't do it. They either last or they don't. Most don't.

Makes sense, Gonzo as a swingman with Gausman up. Maybe even have Gonzo piggyback the first couple starts.

I think that's a great idea - though Gonzo probably isn't thrilled. The Astros apparently are planning on eventually going to 2 4-5 innings per game pitchers each game. That kind of system would probably fit guys like Gonzo and Norris really well - as they tend to pitch a lot worse after 4 or 5 innings.

      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.

      Not sure where @scarey1999 is getting his information but Liranzo is still listed on the FCL roster and Eric_Birdland on X who goes to a lot of FCL games and gets some decent information had video of Liranzo practicing a month ago and last week said he’d be back soon.
