Kevin Gausman working on continuing his pattern of pitching like the Cy Young Award favorite, but completely pooping the bed in about a start a month.     He has harnessed his talent for the most part, but lays more than his share of eggs for being one of the league's very best pitchers.

I actually think Brian is doing an excellent job...in fact, I think Brian has a future at this at a network level...

I agree he is good.  Obviously knowledgeable.   I think he feels he needs to fill the air a bit too much.  It’s ok for there to be a little silence.   I love Palmer and Ben, but Brian would be great if they weren’t available.

He is a two pitch pitcher.  If one isn’t working, it’s pretty tough to get by

Great response by our guys...they tattooed Hernandez who throws hard and has a high strikeout rate....How hot is Gunnar? Love him in the leadoff spot...he'd be good anywhere right now...

Looks like Gunnar is doing what we expected from him. With Gunnar we may take off!!!

The Orioles would be wise to have you on the program once in a while.  You could do jokes and tell stories.  It would be fun.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      I don’t think he can be counted on for that. If you can get him cheap fine but his career WAR is 3.5 and he has 3.7 this year. Plus he’s 33 innings short of his career high …did 120-130 range twice. How could that be your acquisition that can be counted on when he could quite possibly run out of gas? Or get to a team where performance matters and feel the pressure versus pitching for the White Sox…A horrid team that everyone knew was going to suck.

      Yea but how are you defining that?  Is Fedde a #3 or better, for example?

      Bring up Mayo already!!

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      With all due respect … I think you are counting on Mayo to come up and immediately perform. I don’t think it’s realistic… possible yes. But, most guys have an adjustment. If it’s one thing we’ve seen from Hyde is the reluctance to give regular time to the rookies. Didn’t see it with Stowers, Norby, etc. They did  give it to Holliday but I think there was pressure being put on him to do so.  You think he would replace Urias who doesn’t play everyday with Mayo and sit the other guys to play him every day which is what a player needs during that adjustment period?

      Spencer Watkins coming back?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Roch retweeted this. Lots of fans are speculating that it means Watkins is coming back to the Os. It makes some sense as we need fresh arms.  His numbers aren’t great this year but not sure that is going to matter.

      Optimal position player roster for second half and playoffs?

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      At some point …just not now. Holliday clearly needs more time. I think Mullins goes with his expiring contract. Bradfield has a a .726 OPS at A ball but doesn’t appear to me that he’s going to hit for power. That said I’d expect he’s going to head to AA soon. So perhaps AAA next season and the Os likely in 26. He has 39 stolen bases in 52 games. If he can take over the lead off role Gunnar can slot in the 3 hole.

      I think to expect Elias to purge the roster of Urias, Mateo, Mountcastle etc is wishful thinking. I think he will roll with the guys here.

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      If we put Mounty on the IL he’d be back next Weds, and he’d only miss one start versus a LH SP in Oakland. It might be a good chance to take a look at Mayo.  It would probably be better to start LH Kjerstad and O’Hearn against the Seattle SP and roll with Mayo at 3B and Westburg at 2B. That would be our best LH offensive lineup.  For the Seattle series 1. Gunnar SS L 2. Adley C S 3. Santa RF S 4. O’Hearn 1B L 5. Kjerstad DH L 6. Westburg 2B R 7. Cowser RF L 8. Mayo 3B R 9. Mullins CF L
