I REALLY HATE THIS TEAM

[clapdiddy]

So, we're optioning our best starter? This makes no sense.

This is a procedural move. Might even have something to do with Super 2. I STILL don't like it.

They must know what they are doing, but Gausman can't miss a singe start for this team. We need every quality performance we can get.

Well Roy he's gonna miss 1.

Stupid move no matter when he comes back, unless it's tomorrow. Orioles prove again they have no clue about player development.

Probably a Super 2 decision. An extra year will definitely be nice looking back in hindsight.

This move is about service time? How could he be a super 2? He didn't even play a full season last year, and has hardly pitched this year.

This move is a head scratcher, but I guess I don't see all the in and outs like the professionals.

It's the Orioles need i say more?

Gausman was 3-0 with a 0.95 ERA in three June starts yup we better send him down.

[Why_Knott?]

So is the move for a start in the DH or for service time? I hope its not the latter.

If Gausman misses one single start, and it in turn buys the O's an entire season of starts, I don't think it's a bad move.

Or it shows that Duquette knows more about the rule book than we do. Now if they send him back down after the DH, then it becomes more questionable.
