OT: Nats, Wiz, O's, Ravens, DC United: Version V

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Yeah, I'm not down on Gausman at all. He's the only one I wouldn't trade, due to what he's shown this season.

 

[strungout]

Curious to see what the roster move will be to make room for him in the pen.

Guilmet goes back when McFarland is reinstated from Bereavement...then what? McFarland likley has an option...but I like him over Matusz at this point.

I suppose they could DFA Lough.

 

[Hivemind]

Last night was solid, but it seems like he gets shelled every few games and rarely makes it deep into games. Maybe I'm just a pessimist given all the other pitchers that have failed in an Orioles uniform.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

They've got 4 lefties in the bullpen right now (counting McFarland), so I bet they move Matusz for a PTBNL, or as part of a trade for someone like Suzuki. Then maybe Brach gets sent down when Jimenez comes back?

 

[strungout]

His shortest outing this season was 4 innings.

His last two starts have been outstanding. 6.2 and 7 with only 4 earned (3 last night)

Highest ERA+ and lowest FIP of any O's starter.

I think they ruled out getting a catcher this last due to him having to learn the staff and the staff learn him.

Brach has been one of their better long relievers...Id hate to see him go.

Orioles Hangout is a cesspool of idiocy.

 

[Chimaera]

Might be a bit of protect your nuts, but if Bundy hits, he's got electric stuff. Has looked good in his time back. Like Gausman, gotta give them time.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Orioles Hangout is a cesspool of idiocy.

Indeed. I got in an argument with a mod the other day who didn't want Hamels because of the 'surplus value' of Bundy. If a trade target doesn't meet their fangraphs salary valuation, it's sacrilegious.

Rumor is Price to Detroit.

That rotation. Yikes.

 

[Hivemind]

His shortest outing this season was 4 innings.

His last two starts have been outstanding. 6.2 and 7 with only 4 earned (3 last night)

And the start before that he gave up 5 ER in those 4 innings. He's surrendured 5 ER in three of his ten starts. He alternates between being able to shut down teams (for 5-6 innings) and getting lit up. I didn't say he sucked, just that he's inconsistent and rarely goes deep in games (he's gone 5 innings or fewer in 50% of his starts). There's potential, but we've seen other pitchers demonstrate potential and never emerge as quality MLB starters as well.

Ooof.

Come on Davis. Please wake up.

 

[Capitlols]

So no starter traded for. We'll see how this rotation holds up.

 

[strungout]

Im surprised they didn't get Bonifacio...or something for 2nd base. I know Buck likes his guys....but holy OPS hell Batman.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Just call up Weeks. He's bound to be an improvement.

 

[strungout]

Lombardozzi even.

 

[Hivemind]

Just call up Weeks. He's bound to be an improvement.

He's on the (7-day) DL, but was hitting well in AAA before that.

 

[strungout]

The Yankees DFA'd Roberts.

I wouldn't be against it....but.

 

[Hivemind]

He may be balsa wood, but I still love me some B Rob.

 

[strungout]

They wouldn't have to give up anything at least.

And just by stepping in the batters box....he'd have a higher OPS than Schoop and Flaherty.

Yeah. I'm down. I doubt it happens....but what the hell.

 

[strungout]

I keep forgetting about Parades as well. I guess they have plenty on internal infield options.

I keep forgetting about Parades as well. I guess they have plenty on internal infield options.

None of them are much good, though.

 

[Langway]

I don't think they want to sacrifice anything defensively anyway so they'll probably just stick with what they've got.

 

[strungout]

Screw it! Bring back B Rob for one last ride.
