During the 6th inning MASN showed a graphic with the pitchers in the competition for the bullpen. Gonzalez was listed. They said that if Jimenez makes the rotation the O's are more comfortable with Gonzalez in the pen. They said Gausman would be in the rotation.

They didn't say this came from Buck or Dan.

Whatever....Gonzo always getting disrespected. No way, he belongs in the rotation. Norris would be the first guy to the pen.

Did they have Norris as an option?

Eh. I would prefer Gonzo in the rotation but Norris to the bullpen severely hurts his value. There doesn't seem to be a good solution to this.

I do feel bad for either guy who gets sent to the pen. However I do think keeping Gausman in the rotation is the right decision even if it forces us to sell Matusz or return Garcia.

Hmm. Seems that they aren't interested in sending anyone to the minors. Though it makes it harder to keep Garcia.

Garcia looking pretty rough in the ninth.

Strikeout to get out of a bases loaded jam.

One bad outing doesn't mean anything. I didn't even care how he showed this spring, unless it was extremely overmatched. His potential is worth carrying, or at least trying to carry.

Garcia's command was a little off today, he wasn't getting crushed.

The one thing with Gonzalez is since he can be sent to the minors if he pitches in the pen awhile he can always be sent down to be stretched out again. Odds are the rotation will not be as healthy as last year.

Wasn't even that bad IMO. Got hosed on the walk should have been strike 3, Ball hit the other way got past Flaherty, Hardy would have got to it, and a lot of his pitches looked close to me. Eventually pitched his way out of trouble.

      I would have kept Irvin over Povich.

      I saw Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at Camden Yards Friday night and they strung together multiple hits. Best thing I've seen at Camden all summer. In their nonstop 3 1/2 hour performance they practically burned the place down with Bruce pushing 74 years old. Here's hoping the Orioles can rally themselves and produce some magic of their own as the season winds down. Spot on post by the way.

      I think the downside scenario is more likely to resemble the recent Jays.   However, there is also a decent possibility that Red Sox and/or Yankees become dominant over the next few years.  I think the Red Sox young core (Durran, Roman Anthony, Casas, Rafaela, Abreu, Marcelo Mayer, Kyle Teel, Kristian Campbell, Miguel Bleis + Devers) is as good or better than ours and they are going to have a lot of payroll capacity.  The Yankees could return Cole and Soto along with Judge and good young pitching - even if the rest of the lineup is middling they will be tough.  As a result, I’m trying to enjoy the season and not to get too down despite it seeming like a slog.  As frustrating as it has been, it’s still better than being out of contention in September. I’m hoping that all of the Orioles Magic is just being saved up for the playoffs unlike last year.
