Grayson needs to move to the pen

[Mr-splash]

I'm at the game now getting a live look at the kid. 2 pitch pitcher. No command. Just getting shelled.

Norfolk… not the bullpen

Norfolk. He's been garbage ever since that injury, AAA included.

[Gurgi]

Yeah I think Norfolk is the real answer.  Let him pitch a lot of innings and work his stuff out.  Right now he is horrible.  

He needs innings.

I always hate the "he has nothing to prove" argument when a guy hasn't actually dominated a level for at least most of a season. I'm fine if Grayson proves he's ready, even if he skipped AAA all together, but I'd rather see them be one of the best at each level and truly have nothing to prove.

I think Rom was heading in that direction, but then he comes up for no real reason and hasn't been as good once he returned. Just leave them alone until August.

Good thing you're there to give the live report, I thought he looked great on TV.

[hutchead]

Yeah, I'm here too. My first game in years since I live so far away. Guess I'm a jinx. Worst game of the year.

Grayson dominated BEFORE injury and has been awful ever since -at AAA and here .. he has plenty to prove .. he has to find the pre injury Grayson but as of now he is likely going to get hammered in AAA with this stuff.

Yeah, I'd consider sending him down and bringing Irvin up.  Still have hopes for Grayson but he hasn't been right since the injury.  Let him figure it out down there.

I think at this point a trip to Norfolk has to be the answer.  He has not proved anything this year except he is NOT ready for prime time.

My point was he didn't dominate long enough at Norfolk even though he was really close before the injury.

[Jagwar]

Remember when Grayson was viewed as the savior of the O's starting rotation?

Good times.

[maybenxtyr]

If he goes anywhere it should be Norfolk. I don't think he would benefit from pitching an inning or so at a time. He's been a disappointment.

Grayson needs to work on being a starter not settling to be a relief pitcher.

It takes some pitchers longer to figure it out and the Orioles are trying to win games they can’t afford for Grayson to work things out while losing games. 

Now is the time to compete for the playoffs and players who can’t cut it need to be at Norfolk or Bowie.

I think he is just tipping his pitches........
