From Roch,

"The Orioles are shortening Gausman to two innings on Tuesday to keep him available if they choose to activate him from the disabled list. They want to put him in a starting role and could return him to the rotation next weekend in Toronto."

To skip Chen vs the Jays IMO. Don't want him facing all those righties.

That makes no sense. We are playing who we are playing.

So you're here to defend the pitches Norris has thrown thus far? He's gotten away with several meatballs and STILL gave up three doubles.

Also, "we are playing who we are playing" and Our right fielder is our right fielder.

Not sure what you're tying to get at.

    • I was browsing the OH and heard a bang on the window of the station I am at, went outside to see what it was and found a dead Oriole bird on the ground. Bad omens, man. Bad omens.
    • You might be reading a bit too much into what he said. This will be another great test for our young bats. Iron sharpens iron!
    • The only people that have seen the organization in a healthier spot are 60 years old or older.  And I can't believe that is the majority of anywhere near it of posters here.
    • This kind of supports my argument. Even though people say we are a good team, I think that a lot of us don’t really think we are. Yes, Seattle has splendid pitching, but… We do too. So, instead of saying “oh my God we’re facing a fantastic pitching staff”, why aren’t we saying, “oh my God, THEY are facing a fantastic pitching staff”? And regardless of flaws in our hitting approach, we are a top offense. Seattle is pretty dreadful at the plate. That’s the imposter complex; the idea that we’re really not that good and it’s all some kind of a charade. 
    • I am one of the bigger Urias fans here.  I think he was criminally underrated the last couple of years, and I’ve resisted the calls for his head based on a few cold weeks.  But he doesn’t get forever.  
    • Yes sir Mr. Firestone, it’s never easy but what experience these young bats are gaining. Incremental growth against the best will set us up well for the playoffs if we are so lucky. Until then, pitching and defense will hopefully carry us through and maybe we run into a couple early before their arms settle down in a groove. Can’t wait to see what happens either way though my mind and presence will be at the A&M/Arkansas game again tonight following an incredible walk off win by the Ags last night. The SEC West is still in play for my boys!
    • I agree individual posters have favorite players.  In regard to Cowser specifically, I think more...experienced posters on here realize that he's young and he needs some time to get out of his slump.  But to your point, people like him and want to see him do well, too.  He's a bit of a fan favorite already. I'm not sure what your points were on the rebuild but there were discussions about the right way/wrong way to go about doing it, when exactly people felt this team was ready to contend, what prospects to call up and when.  I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone here who thinks Elias has done an overall bad job, but there have always been disagreements on roster decisions, signings, etc that might cross the line into the negative territory. I do believe I see where you're coming from on unrealistic expectations, sort of.  Expectations are through the roof this year and no one wants to see a team like the San Diego Padres of recent years who, despite being loaded with talent, are not winners.  I think there's still a lot of apprehension about knowing that this team is good after it's been bad for so long.  Almost like a knee jerk reflex. But you are correct, we should be absolutely thrilled with being here right now.  This is as promising as I can ever remember this team being.
