Kevin Gausman believes the curve is his third pitch

Kevin Gausman: Are my owners justified in moving on from me in twelve team mixed leagues?

Eno Sarris: I’m getting this feeling from Eovaldi and him that their fastballs are just too hittable and straight, and even hiding their fastballs only makes them usable instead of featured starters.

What an outing!

Full credit to Gausman for taking care of business today. I must say, though, that was one of the feeblest opposing lineups I've ever seen. 7 players hitting under .240, 4 of whom were under .200, 1 of whom actually saw his average dip below .050 before he got an 8th inning hit to raise his average to .091. So, it wasn't the '27 Yankees Gausman was facing. Still, he did dominate the game. I was especially impressed that he didn't let Hardy's blown DP rattle him in the 2nd inning. When he got the next 2 outs on 4-5 pitches, I knew he was in for a good day.

Good points as always, but I was just happy he allowed no runs into the 8th inning and actually held the lead!! I don't care if it was the Toledo Mud Hens lineup he was facing this was a major improvement!!

I honestly think it was just one bad pitch to Seager. Otherwise he pitched pretty well considering.

[Norfolk orioles]

He's no ace. He's a two pitch pitcher, not sure he will ever be much more than slightly above average.

[TouchemAll]

His last home run was a joke and a awful pitch. WAY too many hits on 0-2 counts and he still has NO breaking stuff. He's average.

but till this team decides to actually figure out how to hit Seattle the pitching don't matter here.

[Aristotelian]

Gausman is starting to have a problem with the long ball. 1.56 HR/9 this year. 1.36 HR/9 last year. Orioles team average is 1.09. You can't give up a homer per start and expect to win.

Sure you can. Just have to keep base runners to a minimum.

^ What he said.

Say what you will about the Orioles mishandling him, he is 15-25 lifetime in the majors. He doesn't have the variety of pitches to be a top of the rotation starter. He also seems to rattle easily.

On a side note am I the only one that's bothered by the phlegm balls he seems to spit out every couple pitches?

Maybe he should spit them on the balls.

Heres the think if you put Gallardos brain in Gausmans head he would win a Cy Young IMO. He should be way better than he is but is soft and not very smart. He is one of the most frustrating pitcher a to watch in that with his talent he should be much better. He seems to be out pitched by his opponent regardless of who it is nearly every game it seems which isn't good.
