Kevin Gausman believes the curve is his third pitch

[WEAVERMAN]

He has too good an arm to pitch with such mediocre results. Gausman is a classic under achiever.

There's certainly something wrong with Gausman. He's a big disappointment.

[bpilktree]

Every single starter that the O's have "developed" is "underachieving" (excluding Tillman). Is it possible that the O's just can't develop worth a damn?

I think Wilson has over achieved. Gausman has been ok.

There's certainly something wrong with Gausman. He's a big disappointment.

I was hopeful he had turned a corner after his first three starts. Since then it has been much of the same. He's good when he attacks with the FB but very hittable when he gets behind in the count and can't command the offspeed. I don't know what can be done to fix it. Feeling very down on KG at the moment.

With Gausman's performance, can Duquette continue to wait to get another pitcher?

What difference-makers are there that we can afford to trade for at all? Spoiler alert: Scott Feldman would not be considered a difference-maker.

I don't know, but Duquette is the one in the position to find out.

Oh c'mon this was a game where both starters were horrible and it was bullpen battle. These games are far from an average game and you know it. For one thing Boston hit 5 hit and the Orioles none and yet the Orioles out scored them. Another rarity the Orioles had nine walks which is quite rare.

What does any of this do to address his point.

Win-loss record tells you precisely nothing about how good a pitcher actually is which is probably the most important thing about a pitcher. I don't really care if a bad pitcher gets better run support because that's pointless.

He has no point to be gleaned by last night's game at all. He tried to use last night's game despite it being an extremely rare one where the starters were both knocked out early because they pitched like bums and then it became a battle of bullpens with far more runs scored than the average by both teams to make a point. Last night's game was an aberration and anyone with an ounce of baseball acumen knows it - so don't act like you don't please. It is embarrassing to see. I do agree with your last statement but wins are important as poor pitchers aren't getting many of them, nore even most mediocre pitchers. If I told you a pitcher had 300 career wins, you wouldn't know just by that he was a great pitcher?

He disagrees with what Barnaby said.
