Kevin Gausman - S - Orioles

Kevin Gausman is expected to be removed from the Orioles' rotation when Miguel Gonzalez (oblique) returns from the disabled list.

Gonzalez could replace Gausman as soon as early next week, or he could make another rehab start. Gausman has been terrific in both of his starts since his recall -- against the A's and Blue Jays, no less -- but he's still going to be either sent to the bullpen or to Triple-A. Manager Buck Showalter previously brought up the possibility of a six-man rotation, but he ruled that out Thursday.

I read that earlier but no quotes or anything who expects him to go down the ball boy the drunk fan or is this Buck saying it. He may not stay in there but this is not news at all because the report gives no detail to where this came from

Don't you imagine other teams managers do the same thing? Or other teams GM's

do that.

No i don't any other team would send him down. You can sugar coat it all you want.

There is absolutely nothing in the Baltimore Sun article that Rotoworld links to that indicates Gausman is going down for Gonzalez.

Once Gonzalez returns, the club needs to make room for him in the rotation. Right-hander Kevin Gausman has made three starts this season, including Thursday against the Blue Jays, and could be sent back to Triple-A Norfolk or put into the bullpen.

That is the extent of it, just Connolly stating the obvious that Gausman could be sent down or put in the bullpen. Let's let the Orioles actually make a decision before killing them for it.

Just saw this as well. All I can say is I'm praying this is BS speculation from Rotoworld.com and not the truth. I understand Buck is loyal to his guys but you can't give me one logical reason to justify removing him from the rotation. There is no way that Buck can seriously believe that this team is better without Gausman in the rotation than isn't it. His stuff is beyond better than every other one of our starters'.

A relative of mine used to work for the Sun. Someone posted on his FB page that he heard this exact thing yesterday.

My guess is this has legs.

It is as dumb as I could possibly imagine removing Gausman after finally getting him to perform.

The Orioles sure do make some really stupid decisions. Go with a 6-man or find a phantom injury for UJ. Heck, move him to the pen as another posted suggested. Might get him back on track.

But removing Gausman after 2 really good outings when he is the future is moronic to epic levels.

I am not sugar coating anything. I am asking an honest question. But I should

have known the answer. You seem to enjoy taking shots at the O's FO. What

would you say the O's do with Gonzo when he is ready to come back? BP?

      Good point, no other metropolitan area has more than one team.

      Could it be that they allowed the Gnats to reside within 30 minutes of their home. Effectively cutting their market in half?

      41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .

      I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.
