Very underrated start of the year by Drake. It hasn't been the prettiest but he's came in two tough situations and allowed us to stay in the game.

Bleier inherited a mess tonight, and did a good job getting out of it and holding the fort.

Verrett is pitching himself to DFAtown, which would open up a 40 man spot for one of the relievers in AAA/AA.  Like Chricton or Meisenger.

And promptly gets sent down for Mike Wright.

[Diehard_O's_Fan]

Why did the Orioles send down Logan for Mike freaking right? Are you serious? I hope he isn't up long.

Verrett can't pitch tonight, Asher can't pitch tonight.  Givens pitched two innings yesterday.  They probably want to stay away from him too.

[sportsfan8703]

Hopefully over the next week we will have a rotation of Bundy, Miley, Gausman, Asher, Tillman. And a bullpen of Britton, Brach, O'day, Givens, Hart, LR, Ubaldo, with Aquino starting in Norfolk's rotation. 

I don't see Ubaldo sticking because he's not even reliable as a mop up guy, but we will go that route first. We really need one of Wright, SJ, Edwin Jackson to step up and be dependable MR that can go 2-3 IP if need be. The sooner we get that, the better.

Bleier was doing a reasonably good job of holding the fort until J.J. Hardy booted a ball to start the 4th inning.

We might have to start keeping track of which Pitchers are eligible to come back from the minors.  The way this season is going.  Especially with no off days for awhile.

May 2- Verret, Wright sent down.

April 30- Nuno, Aquino

April 27- Fry

April 26- Chricton

Bleier is a given to get sent down today.  Asher is a possibility.  Unless an injury happens were limited to Wilson and Ynoa till May 9.

No doubt. Duquette and Buck have every intention of using that last 1 or 2 spots in the bullpen for the freshest arm. Basically if you are on the 40-man and have options, you have a chance to pitch with the Orioles this year. The only guys still on the 40-man roster who have pitched too poorly for consideration have been Chris Lee and Liranzo. Miguel Castro (health???) and Andrew Faulkner (Personal issues) also are not candidates. I could also see Yacobonis getting a shot and Faulkner getting DFA'd.
