Slow to post lineup, as of 4:41 the O's are the only team in a 7-8 PM game to have not posted a lineup

Buck must be having trouble finding healthy bodies

It might get so bad that Kim will even have to be in the lineup.

If Gausman can't do pretty well against the lineup the BJs are now putting out there, even I would have to concede that he may not be able to stay in the rotation. I expect a few runs, maybe a homer or two (if so I hope it's not Bautista), but he's got to be able to keep the walks down and the bases relatively clear against this group.

This year or long term?  I think either way you let him continue to work.  (1) we have no better options in the short term, (2) he's coming off a very strong year, so it's not like he's never had success at the big league level.

What I meant is that another poor performance will make me question, as others have, whether we will go through this season with Gausman (if he's not injured) in the rotation. I never questioned that until his last start. 

You're right, of course, that there aren't a lot of real good ;options (though I think Asher or Verrett are possibilities), and there could be a question as to whether replacing Gausman or Ubaldo should have priority. I don't agree that Kevin's past success, or his demonstrated talent, is a reason for letting him continue to cost us games. It provides a basis for expecting him to pitch better than he has, but only up to a point.

Two struggling teams.

The Blue Jays just lost 3 out of 4 games to the Braves.

The Orioles just lost 2 outs of 3 games to the Tigers, and 6 out of 7 overall.

The Orioles wound up winning 2 out of 3.

It could have been better, it could have been worse.

      Westburg exceeded rookie eligibility limits last year exceeding 130 at bats and more than 45 days on the active roster. On the plus side he might qualify as a super sophomore or at the very least avoid the sophomore slump.

      Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      By Safelykept · Posted

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      By Ohfan67 · Posted

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!
