Stefan Crichton was called up again by Arizona. Buncha former farm hands over there. Walker, Jones, Joseph, McFarland...

Definitely worth calling attention to the McFarlands of the world when I think we often hear how many guys on the Os, even when they were winning, wouldn’t be on another MLB roster.

Rookie mistake.  Glad he is getting time in the bigs,  I never understood why we couldn’t bring him up for at least one game.

Especially when retread after retread got a last chance in the last few years with the O’s.

I call him Give It Up Gausman. He reminded me so much of Jeremy Guthrie. I just knew when we would give them a lead, they would give it back and then some. I'd love for there for be an MLB stat called Blown Wins. It would comprise of pitchers who get a lead only to blow it.

Except Guthrie never was blessed with the arm Gausman has. Gausman can throw uppers 90’s with ease and velocity remains the same all game. 

If Gausman ever learned how to be a pitcher he would be a legit number one.

Yup, don't miss Gausman.  Actually, 8 earned runs for him tonight.  

He had a bad game. He's been decent for them overall. He's certainly not a front-of-the-rotation starter, but Max Fried and Mike Soroka are taking care of that for the Braves.

Matt Wieters OPS is 1.121.

 

 

 

Ok, it’s 35 ABs. So, what?

I did a double take when I saw how few times Wieters has come to the plate.    The Cardinals are really riding 36-year old Yadier Molina hard — 49 starts in 55 games.   Oddly, Wieters has started the last two nights in a row after starting only 4 of the first 53.

I think Molina had a hand injury.

You’re right, bruised thumb, expected back sometime this weekend.   

I think it’s kind of crazy how much he played before that.

He just can't get consistent with his breaking stuff. He's kind of a 2-pitch pitcher at times.

Homered in each of those two games.

Wieters has played in 17 games. So, they are giving Molina a bit of a break in the games he’s started.

Need to dredge up that old Olly Drake thread; Rays called him up again

[Enjoy Terror]

Eddie Gamboa, Aneury Tavarez, and Bennett Parry have all signed on with the Mexican League in the last week. Former O’s going south!

Three of those were just as a PH.   Wieters has played as a defensive sub in 8 games, a total of 17 innings.  Most of those were in very lopsided games.    

To date Molina has caught 416.2 innings, 2nd most in MLB (0.2 innings behind 30-year old Yasmani Grandal).

Gamboa is still throwing knucklers, right?  I'd missed that he was briefly back in the O's org last year.  He's only 33.  He could pitch more 15 years and become another Willis Otanez.  I'll need to remember to check in on him from time to time.
