Why is it that only Tampa has the issues with the domed roof?

 

I mean seriously, blow this place up and build a new stadium. If you're gonna be cheap, paint the roof black or something so you can see high pop ups.

 

The Metrodome used to be the worst. There was a play every series there. Never understood why you couldn't paint the roof light blue or something.

Lefties who are wiling to go the other way will kill Gausman until his does something more with his 2S. His fastball is easy to hit for lefties.

Nate able to make the play on Johnson's fly to left. Rays leading 3-0 going to the 3rd.

That's a stretch, I'd say.

So, Gausman looks like crap basically?

Thought the same thing.

I am pretty sure makes cars is the cornerstone of what you do.

No, but he looks like a guy with a general lack of professional experience.

Flaherty k's, 1 out in the 3rd. Nate back up... need to get something on the board.

Mixed bag. CU looks good and he is missing more bats today....slider blows.

FB is inconsistent and still not enough movement.

This is not a pitcher who will be successful in the majors pitching this way.

He has to improve and make adjustments..otherwise, he is a closer prospect and nothing more.

Well, we better go score him some GD runs then against Hellickson...

[BSLChrisStoner]

Hellickson looks a little different today vs. how I remember him.

3-up-3-down...this blows....

[SportsGuy]

Orioles bats still off balance.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Let's go Kevin... get 3 outs and get back to the bats.

Ehh, even with what he's shown, he's a #4/#5 as a worse case. But being so inexperienced, I have no doubts he can go refine some things and become a #2/#3. I know you're not saying he won't. But he isn't just "closer" material as is, that I fully disagree with.

[fishteacher]

That 97 was nasty!

[BSLChrisStoner]

Longoria k's on the 3-2 97mph fb running down and in. 1 out.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Loney flies out to Nate. 2 down.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Finish the inning here.

His pitch efficiency is poor and he is a 2 pitch pitcher...and his FB has poor movement.

That's not a guy you want starting and going through lineups multiple times.

Now sure, I believe he will make adjustments but he isn't ready yet and I would send him down if I were the Os. At this point, send him down until after the AS break and see where you are.
