2018 Kevin Gausman

[Hank Scorpio]

Pretty ugly part deux. I’m not sure the French words for three and four, but I’m not hopeful for Tillman and Mike Wright the next couple nights.

Hey, you never know I guess.

So glad Gausman started earlier in ST this year. 

But is he in the best shape of his career?

Then maybe he should go directly to modeling underwear and skip the pitching bit.

If anyone is NOT worried about Gausman, consider the fact that he not only was down a tick or two with his fastball, he threw the slowest fastballs (89) that he's ever registered in his entire professional career spanning several thousand innings. 

So.

Worry.

It was never an issue in spring training this year, so I am not at all worried about his velocity.    That will come, but location, movement and decent secondaries are my concerns.

So much talent. I hope he gets it together soon. I'm not complaining about the results tonight, just wish he was able to go longer.

Once again he proves he just isn't a winner.  A winner would have inspired the bullpen and they wouldn't have blown the lead.

I think him being inspired to pitch well is enough on his plate at the moment. 

He was very mediocre. I saw flashes, but I am less and less encouraged to think he can figure things out to become a solid #3, let alone anything better than that.

[InsideCoroner]

Did anyone else think he might have buzzed Judge on purpose in the 1st? I don’t think he was necessarily trying to hit him, maybe just send a warning. Before that pitch was thrown, Judge was getting ready outside the batter’s box and it looked like he was kind of smirking at Gausman. Maybe it wasn’t at Gausman, but there was no runner on second. I thought it was odd. Then he got clipped and was looking at Gausman as he walked to first.

[Frobby]

Gausman does seem to have an amazing capacity for coughing up leads shortly after he gets them.  I’ve always noticed it.    Maybe it’s just coincidence, but I tend to think there’s a mental aspect to it.    I keep hoping he’ll grow out of it.

He reminds you of Guthrie.

I'm at least slightly concerned about his velocity.

2017 April: 95.3

2018 2 starts: 92.7

[Frobby]

I’m going to tonight’s game (probably with about 9,000 intrepid  souls).    Hoping to see a good performance from Gausman.   We need him to pick it up!

[Grt 2BA FL Gator]

I am a bit concerned. The guy’s FB, according to pitch FX, is 2-3 ticks below normal after 3 games now. Looks like he’s sitting 92 when he usually sits 95
