Paul Fry - O's first "Opener"

[wildcard]

Per Roch:

Left-hander Paul Fry will make his first spring start Sunday in the split-squad game against the Phillies in Clearwater. Gabriel Ynoa had been listed, but Fry actually will work an inning or two before Ynoa replaces him.

Perhaps this is a sign that Fry is a candidate to serve as an “opener” if the Orioles choose to go that route.

He has been one of their best relievers this Spring that it on the 40.

But I don't know why Ynoa is moved back. Unless they want to see how Ynoa does in a "relief" role?

FTFY the bolded. And irrelevant to Ynoa, it could just be to see Fry as a possible opener as Roch speculated. Opener for someone else? I have NO idea their plans for Ynoa.

 

Gonna be an interesting next few days!

I'm guessing the other 9 where when he was in the Mariners organization. I don't remember him doing it in Bowie, unless he did it during a 7 inning game.

Let's see if this an "opener" thing or not. If he only goes one inning, then that's what I would think. If he goes two or three it could mean nothing.

Majority of the Orioles starting rotation might be "openers" if the definition is a pitcher who starts the game and pitches less than three full innings.

You were still "hitting" those old "Warbird" metals and they were ten years old at least then!  I bet you still have them with rotted grips.

His defense hated him today. Only 1 "clean" hit, everything else was infield hits, a stolen base, and 2 errors (Jackson and Ruiz.) 2 unearned runs.

Struck out Harper though.
