Three pitches.

His circle change and his split are pretty obviously different pitches.

Yes, but I am at the point where if they can get three solid position prospects for him they make a deal. I have very little confidence in their ability to develop pitching.

Maybe filling out the roster with mid level FA is the way to go until they figure out what they're doing at the lower levels.

You always listen.

Me, I think that he takes the next step in 2016. I do think the way they have handled him has stunted his development to some degree.

You're not getting 3 position prospects for Gausman. Perhaps worse, trading him makes an already anemic farm system in regards to pitchers even worse. Duquette has been here going on 4 years. How has he managed not to bolster the farm?

1- He traded pieces for the MLB team.

2- They haven't had a lot of draft picks (a lot of which falls on Dan).

3- They refuse to spend big in the international market.

4- Top three pitching prospects went down with injuries.

Top 3? Bundy, Harvey...who else?

Branden Kline.

Yes, I am putting a lot (probably too much) into the reports I read this spring.

I disagree. I think the perception around the league is and has been that their development of pitching isn't great. That won't change what market will bear for him but it makes it more attractive than you might think otherwise.

Is it better to watch him turn into a mid rotation starter or less?

How many picks in total have we lost? Lost 1st and 2nd last year for Ubaldo and Cruz. How many competitive picks have we dealt?

I think the fact that you have to reach for a top prospect it just speaks volumes on how bad this farm system is. :(

Not arguing but it is pretty easy to get excited about what he did early in the year.

When you have a clear cut #1-2 and then a bunch of guys it is pretty easy for one of the guys to jump to the head of the rest of the pack.

And it made my prior post a lot stronger to say they lost the top 3 guys instead of top 2 guys and dude that lit up the gun is ST. ;)

This was the 2nd consecutive outing for Gausman in which he started out with 5 shutout innings, but had a very high pitch-count in the process ...... although this time he was able to complete the 6th inning, and didn't give up a solo home run, either.

If the kid is strictly concerned with keeping the opponent off of the scoreboard and not worrying at all about pitch-efficiency in his still very-young career, that is fine with me.

One step at a time.

First and foremost, keep the opposition off of the scoreboard. THEN, he can work on his pitch-efficiency.

His pitch efficiency will come with better FB command and development of the CU to go along with the split change. I'm already encouraged he's getting more swings and misses with the CU which he'll need if he wants to continue as a starter.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      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.
