RHP Odrisamer Despaigne

[Redskins Rick]

Well they did bring up a pitcher so that would influence their pitching staff. Maybe soon an appreciation thread?

Inquiring minds are waiting for the reveal.

From Roch:

Hearing Despaigne is in Boston but not guaranteed of being placed on 25-man roster today. So, stay tuned #orioles

Like Frobby said you don't call him up to start him in a couple of days. Has to mean Wright faces Jays again unless Worley gets a shot. This could go many different ways.

Guessing McFarland goes down while they figure out what to do w/ Ubaldo.

This year has been quiet with intrigue, something was bound to happen.

Also, why wouldn't you keep Despaigne's turn in the rotation in Norfolk? Calling him up early and out of rhythm to start would be idiotic.

So guessing long relief because McFarland has been a disaster.

Duensing hasn't showed much either.

Ubaldo to DL or TJ to Norfolk

I think Gallardo will be starting Saturday.

Despaigne is listed as pitching tonight for the Tides. They could bump him one day and have him take Tyler Wilson's spot in the rotation. I had thought they might skip Wilson but he is currently listed for Wed. Then again, I had thought they might send Wilson down and go with Gausman on Wed. because the offday would allow them to go with 4 guys this week.

Bringing him up just to pitch in the bullpen for a couple days does not make much sense either given that they just had an off day and everybody is fresh. Especially since Ubaldo is likely headed to the bullpen now that Gallardo appears to be ready.

He has not. I still don't know what Oliver Drake did not to be called up. The O's can't afford to have Duensing on the roster. A LOOGY is a luxury for a team with at least average starting pitching.

I wish we had a good LOOGY.

I go back to my point that guys like Duensing and TJ in this stretch aren't very valuable right now. Boston has Ortiz, Bradley and Shaw as left handed hitters. The RHH scare me more.

Worley pitched 4 innings Sunday, I doubt they want to use him today. I see the need for a righty long man.

[canonfaz]

My guess is that Wright or Wilson are optioned.

[Going Underground]

It looks like Worley to the DL unless they made him a starter.
