Schoop requires a 40 man roster move as well.

Whatever OF they move will provide the 40 man spot.

I think if Bud pitches poorly this Sunday he goes to the pen, he could even go to the pen if he pitches ok. The Orioles will take advantage of the off day next Thursday, upcoming All Star break and the off day the Monday after the break. They will not need a traditional 5 man rotation for about 20 days. They will keep Norris around as depth and do everything in their power to move him at the deadline.

I'm on board, would be hilarious seeing him face the Astros' media after he bad mouthed the team.

You mean this?

"They are definitely the outcast of major league baseball right now, and it's kind of frustrating for everyone else to have to watch it," said former Astros pitcher Bud Norris, now with Baltimore. "When you talk to agents, when you talk to other players and you talk amongst the league, yeah, there's going to be some opinions about it, and they're not always pretty."

Yeah, they probably aren't trading for Norris anytime soon.

Sunday's starter, which is Bud's turn, is now TBD.

It is actually Gonzo's normal start dat though. With Nolan on baby watch we can send Gonzo down and if Nolan has to leave early bring him up to start Sunday.

Right, but with the DH, either Tillman or Jimenez is pitching on an extra day and Bud's turn would be Sunday.

Yeah but if they want to keep Gonzo on normal rest they could do that and put Bud in the pen giving it a 7 man pen for the weekend series.

Exactly. This TBD makes it appear that Bud is losing his spot in the rotation. Gausman could stay up and make the start on Tuesday.

      A big part of seeing more pitches is that he is whiffing or fouling off very hittable pitches in the middle of the zone.  As I added to an earlier post, he is getting himself into a ton of two strike counts - about 60% of his plate appearances.

      I agree that he’s been pretty bad in those high leverage situations. In Fangraphs clutch metric, he’s by far the worst hitter in the league. The difference between him and 2nd place (McNeil) is the same as the difference between McNeil and 55th place. He has cut down on his K rate the past few weeks and has hit into some bad luck, but it definitely looks like he’s overthinking in some of these higher leverage situations. I’d say his AB’s are pretty good other than that, but they’ve been pretty poor in those more important situations.

      It’s a slump. It happens. Some thoughts.

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      A few of us were arguing in the offseason this team needed an extra outfielder, mainly a centerfielder, in case Mullins or someone else struggled or got hurt again like last season.   Gunnar, Adley and Westburg have settled in nicely, but it appears we can't expect all the young guys to adjust so well.  Cowser was great for awhile but has shown himself to have some large growing pains the past few weeks.  Meanwhile, the veterans in the outfield have all had their struggles.  Aaron Hicks played unexpectedly well last season, and a veteran presence out there in lieu of Mullins slumping badly is maybe what this team needs.  Hopefully that's all this team needs out there this season.

      And btw, Cowser isn’t an everyday guy, at least not yet. The injury to Hays has forced him into the lineup more than he should be. His defense has largely been very good, so he’s helping there but hopefully with Hays back, he will start hitting some and Cowser can sit a little more often, as he should be doing right now. Maybe he develops into a 150+ games guy but I think he’s more of a 130-140 games guy right now.

      Cowser is talented.  He’s succeeded at every level.  He’s definitely got some flaws as a hitter.  The only way we’re going to figure out if he can figure it out is by playing him.  He’s probably played his way back into a platoon with Hays.      A lot of our hitters are in pull mode, including Henderson.  Cowser has hit some balls to left center but when’s the last time he hit a line drive single to the LF.  Same question goes towards Mullins and Henderson. Westburg, O’Hearn, and Mountcastle are using the whole field and, not coincidentally, having the better at bats.
