Selfishly hoping the doesn't change the starting pitching schedule. Taking a few families with kids down to the ball park on Sunday. It'll be their first ever game. Would love a clean Gausman game.

To think, this was supposed to maybe be a Cy Young year for him.

What a fall.

the cover curse is realz

Hopefully they can take a couple weeks to figure him out with all their fancy machines, then maybe a couple weeks to build him back up.

If lucky could have him back by the ASG. Hopefully we can scrape together the starts until then.

Nate Pearson is alive, Alek Manoah is dead.

What a timeline.

 

[zeke]

Pitchers are assholes (see: Jose Berrios, Ross Stripling, Kikuchu, etc)

 

[Leafin']

Really hope he’s not Romero part 2

 

[axlsalinger]

how about Kevin Gausman ... 7 IP, 100 pitches, 1 run, 13 K

That Olerud season was really fun. He was hitting .402 on August 1st.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Man, the Jays were such a fun team in the early 90s.

It was a great feeling going into every game expecting a win.

 

[Jeremy]

So who’s taking Manoah’s spot in the rotation?

 

[Bleedsblue&white]

What do we got, like ten posts on Manoah failing...anybody want to talk about Gausman last night?
Or this season?
He's putting up crazy numbers.
13 SO, 0 BB last night, multiple games with 10+k's...I don't know how he even does it with two pitches.

He's our magician, and he's cool too.

The Gausman bounce back is great. The crazy part is opponents are still putting up a .330 BABIP against him, but his K rate is at a career high. He's not really getting super lucky in any stat either, so hopefully he can keep it up the rest of the way. Like he's not relying on a weirdly out of place HR rate or LOB% or anything.
