Mike Wright Today, 2015

[Crazysilver03]

Ubaldo's breaking stuff was better, but Wright spotted a 97-mph fastball in a performance that might have just eclipsed Gausman at his best. Against the Angels.

In Orioles lore, this will be pretty historic.

Eh Angels are 14th in offense in AL. Great performance and striking out Pujols and Trout was awesome. But this isn't the Angels of old.

That's why I said yesterday this was a good team for him to break in against. Their lineup is a little soft, I mean Scioscia is batting Aybar 4th. After Trout and an aging Pujols there really isn't much. Still, Wright did his job. Now will he even get the chance to do it again?

Looked like almost all the strikeouts came on fastballs up in the zone.

Nice to see him get swings and misses on that pitch.

Only one came on a swinging strike with a slider and there was no swinging strike three less than 95 mph except for that one. Up in the zone, tough to handle.

He certainly had a plan out there.

His build reminds me of Joe Nathan.

I said in Tony's thread... Gary said he was 6' 6". But he deosn't look tall on the mound... He's so solid and huge. His build is like the Hulk.

He looked every bit the part of a Major League pitcher out there today.:smile11: I know it's just one game, but I'm impressed!

Interesting that he is facing two of the best young players in the game (Trout and Stanton) in his first two major league starts. He shut down Trout, now let's see how he does against Giancarlo.

Another potential factor for Wright tonight is the fact that there is no DH, unlike his first game against the Angels last weekend.

So how many Wright articles are we going to see by Tuesday?

[Il BuonO]

It will be a shame if this guy doesn't earn a spot in the rotation after two stellar outings.

[Reboulet'sStache]

He looked good. Secondary pitches weren't electric, and I wouldn't say his upside is a front-end starter. But he looks like he could become a solid rotation starter under team control.

[Aristotelian]

He is about 3000% better than Bud Norris.

[WEAVERMAN]

So how many Wright articles are we going to see by Tuesday?

Nice job Mike Wright, AGAIN.

Just keep this young man around so we don't have to see Norris pitch.
