vs.

(QS=0)Eduardo Rodriguez (2016 Debut)

Kevin Gausman: Gausman has allowed nine earned over his last three starts totaling 16.2 IP including four home runs with three coming in his last one. He has done a fantastic job at keeping walks to a minimum though with only nine total in 41.2 innings. He has done well at home this season and against Boston for his career, but it seems like he has entered his first rough stretch of the season. The only question now is how long will it last?

Eduardo Rodriguez: Rodriguez will make his first start of the season here against his former team due to a knee injury that kept him sidelined for the first two months of the season. E-Rod pitched to a 3.85 (1.29/.255) in 121.2 innings last season as a rookie in 21 starts and at least should be able to do better than that this season. Rodriguez has dominated the Orioles in two starts at Camden Yards, but got hammered in his only start against them at Fenway. Fortunately for him, this one is at the Yards.

Steven Wright was very tough on the Orioles today as very few balls were hit hard off of him and Boston's offense never let up. To sum it up, the Orioles never had a chance in this game and Wright goes the distance for the third time this month which is huge for Boston after going into extras with Toronto yesterday. Boston looks to be a great deal better than the Orioles which could mean a very bad outcome to this series.

Gausman is in the middle of a rough stretch having allowed four runs in two of the last three including three home runs in the last game and four overall in those three starts. The only question now is how long will KG remain in this funk? He pitches well at home this season and against Boston for his career, so that's good at least. E-Rod has made two starts against the Orioles at Camden Yards and was practically untouchable with a microscopic ERA and BAA, but six walks in 11.1 innings. Rodriguez will be making his first start of the season, so he'll be pumped I'm sure. This one really could go either way.

In the division, Toronto and NY are playing and the Jays are up 3-0 in the top of the fifth with Marco Estrada on the hill who has a sharp 2.76 (1.06) in 58.2 innings this season which is far better than Stroman has done. Cleveland is down big to Texas in the late innings and KC/TB are just about to get underway. The White Sox dropped their seventh in a row to the Mets as they lost 1-0 and got only two hits off starter Matt Harvey and were blanked for two innings by the Mets bullpen. Quintana pitched well too, but it wasn't enough. Detroit plays the Angels in about a half hour and with a win tonight, KC can move two games into first place with their fourth straight win. The Rays have lost seven of 10 and really struggling lately. In the West, all teams will have won if Texas closes out Cleveland and, of course, the Angels play later. There is currently a three way tie for third place with Houston and Oakland having won three in a row and the Angels having lost two in a row with all three teams being seven games off the division leading Rangers (if they win) who will be up on Seattle by a half game and will have won three in a row and seven of 10.

    • SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.
    • Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.
    • McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.
    • I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it. 
    • Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.  
    • Jeff Tackett was also part of the single-worst baserunning display I've seen in my entire life.  No exaggeration.  I was at the game with a friend who was at her first baseball game ever, and she asked me what was going on.  I still have no idea. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1993/04/18/three-man-jam-at-third-costs-the-orioles-7-5/7eb4c3d6-545f-481a-89f4-9bc0036ad89a/
    • No doubt, I'm expecting that from Mateo. But sub .600 with worse defense is a possible outcome for Holliday this year. I hope it doesn't happen but I don't think we can rule it out.
