Dick Bleier, your new favorite reliever

[Aristotelian]

He was getting some great sinking movement in the zone, as usual. 1.3 BB/9. Only behind Manny and Gausman in WAR.

All 6 outs that Bleier recorded came via the Groundout.

He faced the minimum number of batters over 2 innings (6), because both base-runners that he ceded were erased on double plays.

 

 

6 OUTS: ) 4 Groundouts (Including 2 Double Plays)

Bleier has 3 out of the Orioles' 9 wins so far this season.

In the strike-shortened 1972 season, Steve Carlton had almost 46% of the wins for his team that year (27 out of 59.)

I just wanted to share this. I'm a big Andrew Miller fan and was checking out the news of his return, but... Look who is hanging out in the number 2 spot. One of our new favorites. Really speaks volumes to his effectiveness and puts him in company that maybe we didn't even mentally put him in. Is the stuff as eye catching? Maybe not but Bleier has been getting it done and we're on notice. Great work.

With the score now 8-1 in favor of the Orioles, they may want to save him for a closer game ........ thank you, Manuel Arturo Machado.

Bleier came in last night and Joe Angel said Bleier “has been just about perfect this year.”    Whereupon, of course, he got shelled.

Gamethread trolls went to the game to boo him.

I'm not a doctor but is this a career ending injury?

A lat strain?

He pulled a muscle.

Could be a while to recover, I've heard they are easy to aggravate.

Best news this side of cramping.

I think it's one of those nagging injuries that'll last for the rest of the year.

I'm thinking after the all star break.

But you know I'm all buttercups and rainbows.
