if I was the o's I would have used bundy 5 inn and pull him all year 30 starts 150 inning winner winner chicken dinner .
I agree with the trading them part. I'm just worried that Dumpster Dan will trade them and an international player slot for some rule v picks.O's are now tied for last place.
Bundy seems gassed. Schoop and Manici are the only real consistent hits on the offense.
I'm still saying trade away everyone who is a free agent by 2018. Get prospects and build for 2019.

Currently, the Orioles are actually still 6 games better than their expected record of 34-51, which would be good for 28th in the MLB. Let's hope that regression to the mean sorts itself out... "just keep losing for the rest of the 2017 season," basically.
Insert choking meme here.
Seriously, how many times do I have to say it? Gausman fucking sucks...spotted a 6 run lead and blows it in less than 2 innings...
I hope you mean aa ? and high a .To be fair, Gausman has been extremely unlucky this season (0.371 BABIP). That being said, he has also been under-performing even after adjusting for defense and bad luck (4.75 FIP)...
Really, the biggest issue with this team right now is that "we don't have a rotation at all" (even Bundy is performing like a #3/4 starter, and everyone else is worse). They have nothing to lose by selling almost the 25-man roster by 7/31 and calling up everyone from AAA after that...
Buck loves "his guys". He is notorious for this favoritism.
JJ Hardy can bat .121 and play everyday if he wants.
No matter how insanely horrible Gausman, he keeps getting chances.
At least Ubaldo & Miley were established starters for other teams with some success.
Gausman has sucked his entire 5 year career.
The Orioles averaged about 86 wins a season for his 5 tenure, yet as a starter his career high in wins is 9???
This! I haven't liked Duquette since he got here. The guy always comes across as an asshole and I can't think of too many times the guy has answered a question without giving some type of runaround that makes no sense. I know he gets a lot of the credit for building the team during the playoff runs but I credit all of that more to Andy MacPhail. I REALLY wish that Dumpster Dan went to Toronto when those rumors were swirling about.While we're at it, the Orioles organization needs a new owner and GM as well. I think I had said this before:
You know that something is seriously wrong with the way that the Orioles organization evaluates and develops pitchers when the 2012-15 version of Wei-Yin Chen was the best starter that the Orioles have had since Mike Mussina.
We are going nowhere with these five (at least Bundy has been decent but I think wearing down) starting every day. We need to start selling and I really don't care who leaves town. Anyone can be had for the price is right (although to Dumpster Dan, that'd be rule V slots) and makes this team better for the future (I can take a Cubs or Astros like rebuild where we are horrible for years but then become legit World Series contenders for many years to come).
