Remember folks, the end result of a loss isn’t important in the Baltimore Orioles’ 14-5 loss to Minnesota this afternoon. But what should be somewhat of a concern are the spring struggles of Miguel Gonzalez thus far in the spring. Gonzalez said after his outing that his mechanics were off today, however his start today was the second poor one out of three. Gonzalez’s line: 1.2 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 3 BB, 2 K.
Gonzalez’s spring ERA ballooned to 22.24 – which obviously isn’t good. Now in fairness, we don’t know what the gameplan was today, although as I said he stated after coming out that his mechanics were off.
