There is that but it is more directed at those posters who think Kevin for some reason isn't a "winner" and can't pitch with a lead ect, ect.

Well, he’s not is he? Do you know how many career wins he has? Pathetic.

Obviously since he pitches better without a lead, the Orioles just won’t score any runs.

He’s been very good since then, but in truth he was pretty good the 2 starts before that as well.  By the way, it was his own idea.   https://www.google.com/amp/www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/blog/bs-sp-orioles-kevin-gausman-delivery-tigers-20180418-story,amp.html

So I’ve heard. It’s great when the pitchers are coming up with mechanical fixes. They should have a coach who specializes in that kind of thing.

Since getting shelled on Opening Day, Kevin has an ERA of 2.30 in his last 7 starts.

He can be so frustrating.

Just when you think it's the new Gausman, it's back to the old Gausman.

PS. Sell high, anyone?

Gausman lacks mental toughness. You’re an athlete. You’ve been playing baseball your whole life. You can’t sense when a runner is sprinting off first base?  You cans throw to the right base?  

Everytime the runner acted like he was going to take off Gausman should’ve stepped off and threw to 2nd. Who cares if you look dumb?  He looked really dumb last night. Amateur stuff. 

[Moose Milligan]

Had a bad outing.  Happens to everyone.  

Will be watching his next start like a hawk.  Really curious to see if his this outing is a revert to form or merely a bad start and he can start a new streak of good ones.  

I remember for a month or two where it looked like Daniel CaBBrera looked like he had turned a corner and we were all excited, turned out it was a mirage.  I am hoping that's not the case here.

Perhaps bringing up a new catcher, who doesn't have a reputation as a defensive whiz, against the best hitting team in the majors was not a good idea.

It was comical how much Susac moved the glove in his attempt to frame pitches. Someone needs to tell him that only works when you make a subtle motion, not when you jerk you glove around on every single pitch even the ones that are already in the strikezone.

Goodness. This player needed a chance. This team is going nowhere. It's good for young players come up.

It was a little weird because it's like Gausman was giving a tell 5 seconds before he threw, that gave away his intentions.  It's a bad start, which happens.  I'll withhold judgement until that becomes a trend.

Honestly the way they were doing it didn't smell right to me.  Gausman needed to do a better job adjusting and stepping off, but it just seemed a bit too supernatural.  But maybe thats why they're tied for first and the O's, well, aren't.

I disagree with the NESN assessment that it wasn't a sign steal or a tell, and they just thought they could get away with it.  It was almost certainly a tell of some sort, or a sign steal.  But then, it's NESN, so they're probably going to come to a more Red Sox friendly assessment.

It'd be nice if Gausman didn't get tilted like that about it, but it happened so many times in that one inning that it was hard for him to think about it more and figure out what he was doing wrong.
