Showalter addresses Gausman's love of doughnuts

June 05, 2012|By Dan Connolly

During his meeting with reporters Tuesday, Orioles manager Buck Showalter joked that he would have doughnuts waiting for Saturday’s mystery starter -- a reference to first-round draft pick Kevin Gausman, who actually will be pitching for LSU this weekend in the NCAA Super Regionals.

The quirky right-hander eats four mini-doughnuts in between innings during games he starts.

Could that superstition fly in Baltimore?

“We’ll have to run that by Brady,” Showalter said, referring to club special assistant and fitness guru Brady Anderson. “I’m not sure how that's going to work. We're just now getting to the point where we can get cheese on the plane.”
