Wada's Return May Be Sooner than Expected: Showalter

[Rene88]

Wada somehow got out of the 1st, not so much in the 2nd. Double and now a stand up triple. He had a horrible pick off throw to second as well (evidently he looks to throw over to the base a lot).

After a good start another that will end up being insufficient. His line isn't final but not enough strikes and no K's.

Will be interesting to see how they make room on the roster for Wada. Strop's days have to be numbered.

If they get rid of Strop it won't be for another lefty, we already have 3 in the pen.

Wada for closer!

[Valhalla]

Wada for closer? A strikeout pitcher, could be like Kojo.

Wow! He must have turned a corner or something - last I heard he was struggling down there...bring him up!

Wow!

Wada turned a corner 4 starts ago, when he had an outstanding outing against AAA-Indianapolis on June 16th.

You can see the results for that outing (including all of his pitches by inning) plus those for his ensuing 3 starts by going back a page, and proceeding forward.

[OriolesMagic83]

How about Wada to setup and O'Day to closer. Johnson to Strop's role (mop up) until he gets his head straight again.
