Time to give up on Mike Wright Jr.

[connja]

Not going to happen for this kid in Baltimore.  Can't stand to see him enter another game.

It was past time a year ago.  Doesn't seem to have the mental makeup to execute at this level.  That said, he could be another Arrieta.  Which means he will be awesome for the next team that he goes to. Just won't be the O's.

Doesn't have Arrieta stuff.

If we can correlate the time to something like the past due date on a carton of eggs....the fridge now smells absolutely disgusting and needs to be cleaned out and de-odorized.

Really?  Defending him on what grounds?

[jtschrei]

I thought he had good stuff— most on the fastball, sharp breaker. I thought he could ramp it up to high 90s in a relief role. Um, he doesn’t have dominant stuff even in relief

He’s a Brady guy though

Brady and Buck guys seemingly get the chance to fail over and over again.

This crazy fear that every pitcher we let go will turn into Arrieta...EdRod is really good, but Miller helped us into the playoffs that year.  Hader is amazing now, but it's not even with the team that traded for him, so he's had a lot of time and coaches to find his thing.  Mike Wright will never be better than an okay bullpen arm.

Arrieta was AMAZING many times in his early MiL and ML career. Just couldn't do it consistently here.

Don't go breaking Brady's heart

Then who would be our All Star Game rep?

The O's have a bunch of guys at AAA to try in his spot.    Three are on the 40 man roster.   Yacabonis, Scott and Hart.  In addition  Fry, Meisinger and Faulkner all are pitching well.   Its not like there is no one to take Wright's place  in the pen.

Likewise.

Could he develop another pitch? Developing another pitch can turn a career around. You hate to give up too soon on a power arm.

I think his head is a much bigger problem than his arm.  He is symbolic of what is wrong with this organization.  Yes, he is terrible.  But somehow he remains on the roster because there is apparently nobody better to replace him.  That is just sad.
