Tyler Wilson Hopes To Be Part Of Orioles' 2016 Plans

[InsideCoroner]

Wilson definitely had a fortunate outing, with some excellent defensive plays and some "at em" balls, but he also scattered the hard hit balls and pitched well when the pressure mounted, like getting Pedroia to pop out with two on in the 3rd. And it seemed he got better as the game went ... no strikeouts in his first 4 innings, 6 strikeouts in the next 4. Well done.

Even better, his post-game comments complimented the Boston offense he had just shut down. Are you listening, Mike Wright? (Probably not)

[Bahama O's Fan]

He doesn't need to be great with our offense, most of the time. 5-6 innings of 3-4 run ball consistently would be nice.

As a fellow Cavalier, I am rooting for Tyler!!! I can say that I saw him dominate hitters when he was at UVA and that he is maybe one of the most intelligent young men you will find. I can see him continuing to figure out lineups and hitters as he matures in the bigs and if his command stays anywhere near where it was last night, he could be Mike Boddicker part deux.

Pedroia was the key moment. They were threatening there with Bogaerts and Papi coming up. A base hit could have been disastrous. He got Pedroia to swing and miss for strike two on a nasty curveball. Pedroia worked it to 3-2, a situation we have seen many of our guys wilt and give in with a fastball or a hanging slider. Wilson doubled up with two curveballs, the second one inducing a weak popup to end the inning.

I don't know if any of our pitchers have the guts to throw two breaking balls there AND the command to do it successfully.

ERA of 4.50 to 7.00 is acceptable? In that case bring Ubaldo back!

[TouchemAll]

Like Buck says this kid might not have the greatest stuff, but he knows HOW TO PITCH and is a GAMER.

His breaking stuff last night was REALLY GOOD. PLEASE have him go teach Gausman how to throw some of those breaking balls.

[Redskins Rick]

Buck alluded to the team making several key defenses plays too.

He mentioned Davis and his 3 key plays.

He also mentioned Wayne Kirby and having Rickard in the correct spot for that one linedrive.

Wilson just is not a major league quality starting pitcher. He can impersonate one for periods at a time, but his K rate is totally unsustainable. If he spends the rest of the year in the rotation, we're in trouble.

I don't care about his K rate. I do care when he's throwing pitches right down the middle of the plate like he is today. He can't get away with that.

The K rate is definitely a concern, but it's worth mentioning that he entered the day with a 104 ERA+ (including his relief outings). You could do worse as a No. 5 starter if you had four solid starters in front of him. Unfortunately, the O's don't.

[Reboulet'sStache]

Wilson is exactly what you need and should expect in a back of the rotation, 5th starter. League minimum, ERA around 4. The problem is he isn't our 5th starter. But that isn't his fault, that's DD's fault.
