Orioles Kevin Gausman Talks About Possibly Replacing Tillman On Opening Day

Starting pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles Kevin Gausman joined Ed and Rob live from Sarasota to talk about preparing for the regular season.

Gausman started by talking about Tillman's injury and if he feels additional pressure for possibly being the opening day starter. He says, "I think any professional athlete, any pitcher especially, has more expectations for themselves than anybody can have for them...I'm expecting big things out of myself I always am."

When asked about any changes he made to prepare for this season Kevin said, "physically, I definitely changed some things, this off season I went to physical therapy to get my arm ready...I think it definitely has something to do with how well my arm feels right now."

Kevin also talked about wanting to be a vital part of the Orioles rotation and being a guy that goes deep into game every time he takes the mound.
