The Case for Joe Gunkel

[El Gordo]

I sincerely hope Gunkel gets the start.

At least with him there is the hope of the unknown. The faint glimmer that he may be able to get through 5 and keep us in the game.

With ubaldo, no such hope exists. I sincerely hope joe gets the start.

It's Ubaldo. Abandon all hope.

It's Ubaldo. Abandon all hope.

Even if it is Ubaldo, Buck still has to have a stretched out reliever ready for What if? Two would be better.

Yup. The Sun says it's Ubaldo. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/blog/bal-orioles-right-hander-chris-tillman-s-next-start-on-thursday-in-question-20160823-story.html

Just watching YouTube feed of Jim Duq. Says could be Od Despaigne?

Or Gunkle held back tonight. I said that.

I wouldn't say 'no hope.' In his last start on July 28th against the Twins, Ubaldo went 5 innings and gave up 1 run. Certainly kept us in it.
