Damn that seems silly. The only reasoning would be to save money.

I am sure, they have their reasons.

Kevin Gausman is expected to be optioned to Triple-A Norfolk and make starts on June 6 and 11. He's supposed to work three innings or throw 45 pitches in his first start and be extended to four innings in his next outing.This wouldn't count as an injury rehab assignment. Gausman would be activated from the disabled list and optioned.

Gausman will face hitters on Friday, throw a bullpen session on Sunday and pitch a two-inning simulated game Tuesday in Houston

The reason is to get him more innings. He wasn't pitching enough out of the bullpen to prepare him to start next season. He has things to work on. He needs innings.

But, that would help his major league clock, wouldn't it.

This way, back in the minors, it stops the clock.

But then you burn up his last option and can't send him down next year, if, for instance, all the crap they have been doing to him the last few years impedes his performance.

Going to be an exciting year next season with Gausman and Bundy both out of options.

Is that really worth shaving a couple weeks off his service time?

No, but I can't think of any other reason, for what they are doing.

Maybe Roch or Encina can explain it one of these days.

Since Gausman has to be on the team next year he needs to have some prolonged success starting at AAA. He's going to be fine. But he's behind Wright, Norris, Wilson for a spot in the rotation. Let the guy develop instead of yanking him around like we've done his whole career.

Why?

He went 7-7 with a 3.57 ERA in the majors last year.

Why would he be behind Wilson? Or Norris?

Not my point. He needs to get innings. There is no open rotation spot for him. And once Norris comes back he'll be in MR. I meant he needs to have some prolonged success and be ready to be in the rotation next year. The bullpen thing wasn't working for him. Should he be on the team over Hunter/Norris/Matusz? Yes. But will that happen anytime soon? NO.

If that isn't your point why did you bring it up?

I'm in favor of this. I'd like to see Gausman dominating with consistency in AAA before seeing him in the majors again.

    • Where in the rules does it state this? I mean, it makes sense I guess.
    • Gametime:  4:05 pm Forecast:  MId 50s to low 60s, cloudy, chance of rain Promotion:  Brandon Hyde Bobblehead, gates open early and music on Eutaw Street Matchup:  JP Sears (L) vs Cole Irvin (L) Lineups Later -- I will not be around, someone else will have to add them  
    • If you "reconstruct the inning without the errors" that means you replay the inning without the ghost runner.   So on that ground ball that got the runner at the plate, you now assume Langeliers would have been thrown out at first.
    • So I looked up the rule book and I can't find anything that says this is the case. Maybe I'm missing it because the rules for unearned runs can be convuluted to say the least. "For purposes of calculating earned runs under Rule 9.16, the runner who begins an inning on second base pursuant to this rule shall be deemed to be a runner who has reached second base because of a fielding error, but no error shall be charged to the opposing team or to any player. For purposes of Rule 9.02, the Official Scorer shall keep records of the number of times each batter and runner is placed at second base in accordance with this rule." In the rulebook under unearned runs it states, "An earned run is a run for which a pitcher is held accountable. In determining earned runs, the Official Scorer shall reconstruct the inning without the errors (which exclude catcher’s interference) and passed balls, giving the benefit of the doubt always to the pitcher in determining which bases would have been reached by runners had there been errorless play. For the purpose of determining earned runs, an intentional base on balls, regardless of the circumstances, shall be construed in exactly the same manner as any other base on balls. (a)  The Official Scorer shall charge an earned run against a pitcher every time a runner reaches home base by the aid of safe hits, sacrifice bunts, a sacrifice fly, stolen bases, putouts, fielder’s choices, bases on balls, hit batters, balks or wild pitches (including a wild pitch on third strike that permits a batter to reach first base) before fielding chances have been offered to put out the offensive team. For the purpose of this rule, a defensive interference penalty shall be construed as a fielding chance. A wild pitch is solely the pitcher’s fault and shall contribute to an earned run just as a base on balls or a balk." I don't see where it states a batter that reaches on a fielder's choice due to a runner being being on due to error.   
    • Joe Posnanski wrote a wonderful book, called “The Baseball 100,” his 100 greatest players. It’s full of wonderful quotes, but it leaves out a quote that is not just all of Baseball in three words, but that applies to all of life. ”Sometimes you suck.” Adam Jones. God bless Adam Jones. Yes, Hyde makes boneheaded decisions almost every game. Yes Mike should have done this or not done that, Yes Cowser shouldn’t have thrown that way, Ryan shouldn’t have missed the fly, yada yada. I was screaming as loud as anyone. My wife said,”I thought you liked baseball,” But now it’s tomorrow.  “Sometimes you suck.” Charge on.
