I have been a big supporter of Bud, he's a bulldog. I supported Buck giving him the benefit of the doubt.

The time has come for Gausman to be in the rotation. Bud to the bullpen.

Are we trying to win or not hurt people's feelings?

Maybe. Looks like they have developed him fine to me.

Looks like the yo-yoing didn't hurt him much and at sounds like they may be about done with Norris at this point ...at least as a starter. I don't know if that means they option Gausman after tonight or not.

Of course, if Gausman had pitched poorly tonight we'd have never heard the end that it was because the Orioles are screwing him over.

And see, I don't worry about the many. If I am disagreed with. I'm with you on this.

If we're serious about this season, Gausman needs to start until he shows he shouldn't. Two good starts in a row while Bud is faltering. We've paid Bud half his salary at this point; bite the bullet and put him in the pen.

it does sound like that is what the plan is. It's possible he may still be optioned after tonight though. That taking into account the short term roster crunch and AS break.

I've resisted this move for three months, but Gausman made his closing argument tonight and it was very convincing.

Buck Presser sounded like Gausman stays in the rotation. Bud to the pen. And Schoop come back to take over 2B. That means Reimold or Pearce are probably going.

I'm assuming Schoop will agree to extend his rehab assignment through the weekend and be called up Monday to take Reimold's place while Nolan is on paternity leave. If that's how things go, a move will need to be made before the Nationals series that begins next Friday. That's when the schedule gets broken up.

- 3 games vs. Gnats

- 4 days off for ASG

- 3 games vs. Tigers

- 1 day off

With all the days off, I would think they'd option a starter, rather than a position player, before Gnats series to get some work in and not bring him back until the Yankee series begins on 7/21. That's when a move will need to be made about a position player.

Sounds like what Buck would do. I think they will only need 4 starters until the 25th. Now who is optioned. Chen, Gonzo or Gausman?

      But you think spending money means we are better.  You mentioned Alonso...He will cost 15-20M, at least. He is not better than what we already have yet YOU would feel better because money is spent. If are buying the same product, would you rather pay $10 or $50? Spending less on Tyler Oneill than Alonso to get similar production is just smart.   Everything about your way of thinking is illogical. You don't show any understanding of payroll, how it works, how to spend properly, etc...all you see is the total number and you equate that to winning...which is bs. And btw, you are suggesting that (w/r/t Adames).  The Orioles have Henderson, Holliday, Mayo, Cowser, GRod, Bautista, Cano, Westburg and Kjerstad making about 7M in 2025. You see that as a problem because "we can spend more money and the payroll should be higher" when in fact part of the reason the payroll is low is because the Os have a lot of cheap young talent providing a ton of surplus value. You don't block that or trade that or anything else just so you can feel better about a payroll number because that gives you some false sense of security that "they are trying". The O's ended with a payroll over 100M this year. 40M is coming off of that payroll and then some will be added in because of some raises, a full year of Eflin and some options that will be picked up.  Right now, I would estimate the payroll to be about 82M for 21 players. Of the remaining players, you need 2 starters (one of those 2 starters may already be in the org and they won't be making any money either), 2 bench guys (one of them being a back up C) and a reliever. There is room to spend and they should but the roster is likely 75-80% set. There is only so much room to go up in payroll and they don't need to "go crazy" so that people feel better about things.  That's dumb and foolish.

      Best hopes to get from back from 91 wins to 100 is for Mayo and Holliday to become above average regular to All Star level players.  Will it happen?  Who knows?  I'm hopeful.  More for Holliday than for Mayo.  The O's will have to spend major money for at least a #2 starter.  Will Rubenstein step up?

      Nope. Never said or suggested anything like I would rather have Wily Adames over Gunnar. But extending Gunnar would be great! To answer your original question of why am I concerned about payroll is because I want better for the Baltimore Orioles than simply a playoff birth at this point. And I want the team to be relevant in the market so that more fans/people are drawn to support the team. The nickle and diming approach is not attractive to a lot of people/fans. The message it sends is that we are willing to go this far and no further. And historically speaking it does not produce championships. 40+ years and counting is long enough for me.

      How much can we sign Austin Hays for when Philly non-tenders him?

      Why do you get so caught up in payroll prices? The Os have Gunnar for 750K next year.  Do you think we would be a better team spending 15-20M on Wily Adames?

      I struggle to understand the logic of us cost cutting or targeting players who are lower cost. We are what 27th in MLB in payroll? Is the goal to be 30th?

      I thought Bob Costas was a Cardinals fan he sounds like a bigger Yankees homer than John Sterling.
