If Gonzo has to go on the DL, Cabral could be back tomorrow (Gonzo DL Retro to 10th)


wildcard

Recommended Posts

Buck said it was a groin strain. I don't know whether it will require a DL stay but the O's don't have a lot of wiggle room with the pitching staff right now.

Wilson, Wright and Drake just pitched. Wright or Wilson could pitch Sunday if Gonzo can't go.

Or, they could limit Gausman to three innings on Thursday at Bowie and have him start on Sunday.

I don't think this happening. They could have rehabbed him at AA, but they didn't, they used an option, they want him down there, throwing and working on his other pitchers. Just IMO.

Gausman has not been optioned (yet). He's pitching on a rehab assignment.

Thanks, I guess they changed their mind. I remember reading that they wasn't going to rehab but option.

Reading Roch this morning and Gonzo's comments, sounds like it more of a tweak, than a serious pull, and it's the same thing he had this before back in 2012.

he wants to make his next start, of course he does.

IMO, I think Buck will play it safe, bring Cabal back to the bullpen until Sunday and then swap him for Wright.

I'd hate to see Gonzalez go onto the DL. He's been pretty good this year and probably our most reliable pitcher. Losing him for any extended period of time will be troubling no matter who we call up. Here's to hoping he is ready to go.

It was encouraging that Gonzo said, he was walking fine.

I suspect Buck will use this as a chance to get Cabal back for the bullpen and let Gonzo sit for one start and let Wright throw a start.

I would bet dollars to donuts that they put Gonzo on the DL. It is just not worth it to risk aggravating it when we have Gausman and Wright ready to fill in. This team is pretty conservative with injuries (as they should be) and we have depth for these scenarios.

I agree. Plus, I really don't like going with 6 relievers against two teams that play us close and make pitchers throw a lot of pitches.

I agree with you. Just a tweak. Nothing serious is what I am hoping for. The O's

need him. IMO

This. Plus you don't want to take the risk he gets pulled early in his next start and you really wreck the bullpen. Granted Matusz will be back then, I don't want to see him for multiple innings his first time back.

    • I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?
    • I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?  
    • Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.
    • Again, I'm not sure what the point of contention is. They won 91 games and lost in the Wildcard round.  That puts them smack in the middle of what I forecast as their most likely outcome, though I did hope for more playoff success.  I'm not sure how that is proof I misevaluated anything. Further, again, lecturing me about the importance of depth, when I'm one of the biggest hoarders on this board, and you're one of the biggest opposite of that, is ironic to say the least.
    • Aaron Judge whined about it so I’m a fan.  The older I get, the more I think people just exist to look for confirmation biases. In all avenues of life. Paul Simon wrote “a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.” I’m sure if we beat the Royals and advanced and Walltimore robbed three or four homers from the Royals, we’d be extolling its virtues and how great it is.    But that didn’t happen. If anything, there were a couple instances where, if anything, it worked against us.    So here we are. 
    • I mean I wouldn’t be concerned about her opinions on which FA to sign or which players are best. But, she’s definitely a big fan and is just passing off info given to her. If it didn’t track into some other things that make sense, I wouldn’t pay it much mind. Of course, someone with an agenda could’ve just told her those things to spread rumors. Maybe Rick Dempsey haha.  
    • Do you think any team is too stupid to account for home park dimensions when evaluating pitchers?
