Orioles Wright the Ship, win 5-3

[mdbdotcom]

I've been as brutal on Wright as anyone, but he really showed up big in the bottom of the 9th with two runners on. If he can pitch like that for one inning out of the pen, let's do it.

Mike Wright was nails in the Bronx. 

Nate Karns got some double plays and lived to pitch another day.

Jesus Sucre went three for four and beat the Yankees.

Wright has always had the makeup to be a closer but can he put it together...

Pissed that I missed the game today, glad to see that there were some good performances.

If Wright gets more dependable, and noone in the group gets traded for a while, I'd rather see Wright and Bleier (depending on the handedness of upcoming batters) set up for Givens. 

And I recognize that's a giant if.

I missed the telecast as well. I was driving and had the pleasure of listening to John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman for most of the game, so I'm not sure how closely what I heard resembled the game itself.

I did learn that when the NYYs are down two runs, a baserunner followed by a HR will tie the game. Now that gave me something to think about the seventh or eighth time around.

I also got to hear quite a lot about how strange it was that Waldman's headset snapped on the very first day she wrote it. Can you believe that happened? Some high drama there.

I watched the game on tv. Mike Wright was not good. In any way.

He fell behind to batters, and he missed his spots by a lot. Multiple times I watched Sucre set up low and outside with his glove and Wright's pitch ended up high and in. That means he was missing his spot by feet. Like, measure how much he missed his spot with a yardstick. That's not good.

The bloop that Luke Voigt hit was one of those. Sucre set up low and outside, and Voigt had to collapse his arms on his swing and hit it chest high to bloop it in.

He had a good day and I’m very happy for him.    I wouldn’t trust him to do it consistently.

His first strikeout I thought the pitch was in a hittable spot, but Stanton swung through it.    The second one was very legit though. And he was hitting 96-97.

I've always preferred Wright in one inning stints.

Hopefully this means that John Means is a our fifth starter.  I really mean that.

I bet you are sorry you did. My gosh be happy. The O’s won.

As long as they finally get him out of a starting role, he can only be better.

I guess wearing my "Wright State of Mind" shirt to work today paid off!
