Wright's last shot will be had at 1:59am this evening at the far end of the Rusty Bucket....  I'm betting it's tequila.

[El Gordo]

I let Cortes take the first two starts. and keep Wright in the pen. Then when Cobb is ready I move Cortes to the pen and DFA Wright.

Poor soul, he was just too high strung for the job....

Man you are not kidding about Bordick. It's like listening to propaganda TV. He could anchor the news in North Korea!!

Bordick is awwwwwwwful to listen to.  Especially compared to Palmer, who is a legend in the booth.

I've never been on the Wright bandwagon since seeing him pitch in the big leagues, but I'm about 90% certain that he'll go to another team and find success.  It's what we do here.

Interesting to note that Parker Bridwell has been atrocious this spring: 7.91 ERA, 1.81 WHIP.   Ariel Miranda has been meh: 4.50 ERA, 1.75 WHIP.

It was weird watching him pitch today.  He looked good in the first and threw one pitch at 98.  He then proceeded to throw almost entirely cutters and sliders for the rest of the game.  It was like watching someone who has already made the team work on something in a game, and not like someone who needed to pitch well to make the team.

Yes, he gets his own thread.

Mike Wright? More like Mike Wrong!

[Natty]

Will Wright do better or worse than Cashner, Gausman, or Tillman, so far?  That is the question. 

[interloper]

I think we'll manage to hit Verlander a little bit and score our first run off of a starting pitcher (hooray!), but Wright will obviously be bad.

Yes, this IS the question.  And one has to hope the answer is yes.  The Orioles cannot compete if the pitching stinks.  And it also goes without saying that if they cannot get baserunners they cannot score.
