With the doubleheader next Thursday,Wright should get at least another start. Heard on the radio that Tillman might go on the DL to get his back straight. Wright might get at least two more starts and with Norris in flux perhaps many more.

Thanks for intel. It sounds like Tyler Wilson may be activated after all.

I thought the discussion was whether or not to put Norris "retroactively" on the DL (since his last start) so Wright could get another start. I believe they are going to try and stretch Tillman's next start out to see if his back improves. Either way, Wright deserves another look.

I was THRILLED with Wrights performance. But its ONE performance. I saw Chris Waters pitch a one hitter in his MLB debut in Anaheim.He may be working at Home Depot now. Thats NOT to denigrate Wright. I just want to see it repeat.

While your point about this being only one start is fair, let's be clear: Mike Wright has a much better track record, pedigree and array of tools than Chris Waters.

Does he? Mike Wright put up a 4.62 ERA in AAA last year over a full season, with a pretty mediocre 1.4 WHIP.

Yea, he looks great in 2015 so far, hopefully he's really turned a corner. I don't think Waters was a guy that could hit 98 mph I guess.

Mike Wright was pitching on 11 days rest.

Wright was our MiL pitcher of the year in 2013 at Bowie. He got pounded for nearly 4 months at Norfolk last year, but came on gangbusters at the end and has continued to be excellent this year in AAA. And he's not 27 years old.

Nope, but saw a lot of pigeons on sticks and other horrible things. :-)

I've worked with a number of South Koreans and I think the country has progressed quite a bit, though I can't speak for their food pratices (Korean BBQ is awesome though).

Semper Fi on behalf of my Dad, he was Vietnam era (Da Nang).

He made an adjustment at the end of last year and now that momentum has carried into this year. I do not think he was touching the upper 90's at any point last season. He is a totally different pitcher now as Tony said in his writeup. And Waters fastball was probably about the velocity of Wright's slide piece if that puts it into any perspective.

      Elias addressing media at 4:05 today

      By Allan Bryant · Posted

      I  regret to hear news on Wells and Means setbacks.  I like Means because Orioles drafted and developed him .  He will be free agent this fall , should Orioles tender him or let him walk ? As for Wells, he has the stuff but durability is his drawback . Every season Orioles slotted him in starting rotation, then he gets put on IL this season, 2023 and 2022 seasons also .  When Wells returns next season  , they should slot him in bullpen permanently  , JMO

      Yes and at one point was a higher rated prospect in their system than Aaron Judge. It took awhile with the bat but he was always an amazing athlete with the ability for defensive wizardry.

      I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      A buddy of mine made this with his AI. I figured I’d just put this here. 😂   https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.

      A good friend of mine coaches college baseball.  He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way.  An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail.  New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.
