Remember that one hit was a bloop, hit-em-where-they-ain't single and one big "hit" bounced off

D'Aza's glove. Gausman got two Yankees out.

Wouldn't call it a bad outing. Gausman may have been rattled by the defensive lapse. Got to be an

experienced, confident pitcher to remain calm when everything seems to be going poorly.

I wish he were in Norfolk, getting regular starts. He's given up runs in every game he's pitched this season.

Amen. I don't think he belonged on the OD roster (maybe 1st day only). Frustrating. Now sending him down, just looks bad. Tough decision.

Who would come up in his place? McFarland? Hard to excited about that. I understand the fresh arm thing, but...

I'd prefer to keep Gausman in the pen and let im get it together up here. We know he can do the job. He's a little off right now. Keep running the bullpen guys out there. I'm confident they'll get better. I do think we need Gausmant to turn into that 8h inning guy along with O'Day so Hunter is more of a 6th-7th inning guy we can matchup with.

You and WIldcard are the best posters on here by far IMO. I respect your opinion. I think you my be right. The alternatives aren't great and having him working with our pitching coach here probably helps out more. Good post sir.

Gaus is like Jordan Spieth - he'll figure it out - IMHO.

I thought he looked pretty good last night. Hit the glove with his fastball.

- Squib to no man's land falls in left field

- Ground ball sneaks through the infield

- De Aza drops ball in left

Plus, the ump squeezed him on at least two pitches.

I was sure that someone would post about him giving up runs again but sometimes it is just bad luck. Nothing was hit hard but a bloop off the end of the bat and a grounder to second which is an out if not double play position and then a fly ball. His fastball is down a bit but he was bringing it in Tampa. I am started to wonder if the gun on Masn is a bit slow seems every pitcher is down a mph or two. Maybe it just the weather but I have noticed that the last couple nights with Hunter, Gausman, Dylan, and even Pineda.

I think he threw at less than 100% velocity to improve command.

I thought the radar gun shown on the MASN broadcast, was what the stadium guns was measuring.

No, I'm blaming him for giving up two scorched outfield flies, though, and putting a guy on base that scored.

Why is everyone's favorite Orioles David Lough not playing? I thought he was healthy? If he isn't, get rid of him. His only value is his glove.

      How important is this Yankees series, really?

      By Orioles West · Posted

      This is an Orioles Hangout! It’s important, because it’s the dreaded MFY. The Evil Empire. It’s the #$@!*&@^*! Yankees. All wins are extra glorious, and the beer tastes colder against the pin-stripers and losses are always a wee bit more bitter. Rich against poor, good against evil, and every battle is a chance to make the world a better place.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I disagree about the Flaherty and Fujinama "acquisitions" (and I use that term VERY LOOSELY) last season. They both represented "unforced errors" and untimely hedging. Many (including myself) questioned the quality of the front part of our rotation beyond Bradish. It was hard to see that we had excellent depth in the starting rotation. But not the kind of quality up top to succeed through multiple rounds of the playoffs. Flaherty was literally one of the worse starting pitchers that was available. I understand that Elias was working on Cease. But you have to have a credible plan B. You can jump from plan A to plan F (break glass in case of emergency). Flaherty was so bad with us (IMO predictably) that he wasn't an option to start a postseason game and Fujinama wasn't even worth considering to appear on the roster.  IMO those were hedging trades that were made trying to be as cheap as possible when the roster was already as lost costing as could be. I understand that spending is inevitably an ownership choice. So, hopefully without the stench of Scrooge McAngelos around this time, Elias won't have such limiting hinderances to deal with.

      Another step closer as the league now giving 100% run to the option people like better starting next week. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40377474/abs-challenge-system-set-used-triple-starting-june-25 Today and next two days sound like end of the line for full ABS withholding some valuable extra strikes on Chayce McDermott's nasty breaking pitches.

      Jeff Kemp and Brian Holloway were two years behind me in high school.  Also Olympic Gold Medalist Mike Barrowman and Darren Star (Beverly Hills 90210 creator) and a few others.  And me.

      First Brooks Robinson and now Gunnar...those O's will never learn. Drafting sketchy players from sketchy high schools.
