Now that is the Wright I am used to seeing.

Yep, this is history. His stuff is so inconsistent. He'll flash you good stuff then come back and that slider flattens out and he starts leaving them in the middle of the plate.

Johnson snags the liner. To the 3rd, 2-0 Phils.

The single to left after the HR was smashed.

I was hoping that a move to the bullpen, where he only had to worry about 1-2 innings at a time, would give his stuff a boost.

Dino wearing Matt's old number.

Aquino warming.

Nice play C on the Baltimore Chop.

[Can_of_corn]

Dribbler out in front of the plate, decent play to get him at first.

I still think it might, but who knows? His breaking stuff is so inconsistent that it's hard to trust him from inning to inning.

And the Orioles do what the Orioles do.  HR 2-1 game.

I don't see as many games as you guys do. The thing I remember about Wright is when it's close and late, and he's in a jam he gets that deer in the headlights look. You know he's done.

I missed it. Had the volume off for the Buttholz interview.

No, you are on it. Wright is not exactly known for his mound demeanor in tights spots.
