In one of the stupidest MLB moves in a very long time, the Orioles sent Kevin Gausman to the minors.

The thinking is they need bullpen help, and he's the only pitcher of the 6 that still has minor league options. Of course, they couldn't Miguel "I'll give you five innings" Gonzalez to the 'pen because that woulda made a teeny bit of sense.

He was going to be sent down some time this season, no matter how well he was pitching. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 21, 08:01 4
- Your first reason doesn't make any sense since he's gonna pitch whether he's at AAA or the majors. - Inigo Jun 21, 09:19 1
  - Minor league games don't matter, so they can limit innings more easily there. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 21, 10:51
- You do that when the kid is struggling, not when he's been your best pitcher this month. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 21, 08:05 1
  - Because Orioles. -- nm - Spawn Jun 21, 08:21
Hey, they could've been up 8-0 after 2 innings and lost. -- nm - the Reds Jun 21, 08:00
