Back to the Future: Game 3 vs Tigers Gausmans 2014 debut

[obibyn]

School of Roch: Gausman named Wednesday starter

So much for Kevin Gausman not working on short rest.

The Orioles just announced that Gausman will start Wednesday afternoon's game against the Tigers at Camden Yards. No explanation given, no news on Wei-Yin Chen or Miguel Gonzalez.
A corresponding roster move will be announced on Wednesday.

Gausman threw a season-high 77 pitches in 4 2/3 scoreless innings for Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, allowing two hits, walking three and striking out six. It was his first appearance since going on the disabled list with pneumonia.
The Orioles planned on extending Gausman's pitch limit to 90 before his illness.
Chen could be pushed back to Thursday night's opener in Kansas City, with Gonzalez also being pushed back or moved to the bullpen. More to come later today.
Gausman is 0-1 with a 2.08 ERA in six starts for Norfolk, with six earned runs and 23 hits in 26 innings. He's walked 14 and struck out 26.
Gausman hasn't allowed a run in his last three starts over 14 1/3 innings, the first two coming before his DL stint. He hasn't worked more than five innings in any start this season.
In his only career start against the Tigers, Gausman surrendered one run and five hits in six innings on June 2, 2013 at Camden Yards.
Gausman's last appearance with the Orioles came in relief on Sept. 28, 2013, when he struck out two in 1 1/3 scoreless innings. His last start came on June 13 against the Red Sox at Camden Yards, when he allowed two runs and six hits and walked five over 5 1/3 innings.
Gausman will oppose Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander on Wednesday.

GREAT SCOTT!!!!!

Hmm..interesting, maybe one of the other two needs a little extra rest or something.

Day game... anything could happen. Not sure how much of a book there is on Gausman from opposing teams, so he just might keep them guessing. Here's hoping anyway.

Verlander's given up one home-run this year. Hmm.. maybe we can piece together some doubles and singles and get to this guy. What do you think, O's? You can do it. I know it's in you.

lol look at that we have basesloaded 6 times with no outs get 1 or 2 runs . the tigers get 1 time get 2 runs . gausman pitching into bad luck nice stuff . he needs to learn in the rotation atleast until johan is ready . i do think gonzo in the pen is a plus for us .

yea, Gausman looks fantastic...lol

What I can't get past is the fact that we have not produced a single #1 starter (or even a solid, every 5th-day starter) since MIKE FUCKING MUSSINA! From what I've seen from Gausman the past 2 seasons does not impress me one bit. He has flawed mechanics - strong arm, but can't locate pitches consistently.

Wow, I think that sums up the entire O's pitching staff the last 15+ years :rollseyes:

 

[calfan810]

Hardy fucking sux...this is crazy

 

[calfan810]

This could be the worst offensive team I've ever seen in my entire life

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

Damn, are you kidding me? Good job, Nelson.

 

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

Think that's the most runs JV has given up this year. Dinger #2.

 

[calfan810]

The good ol ' shut down inning

 

[all4ripken]

Ahhh, the old Orioles tease...

 

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

Least we've got a shot. I was just about to write off this game until that last inning.
