At this point I just have to respect his survivability. There's no rhyme or reason to it. I guarantee his next appearance will be scoreless and he'll strike out the side. Or go 4 scoreless innings in emergency long relief. Whatever it takes to pull him back from the brink of DFA, he will do miraculously.

I’ve been on the Ynoa/Yefry train for a while. Arajuo shouldn’t have made the roster. Wright may have gotten decent ST stats but that changed on OD. I don’t think they are going to save the team, but this year is all about seeing what players can do. 

First wave(it happened):

Wright, Arajuo

Second Wave:

Wotherspoon, Phillips 

Third Wave(needs to happen):

Yefry, Ynoa

Fourth Wave:

Scott(refined), Kline, maybe Carroll. 

After that you’re getting into the guys that haven’t had much AAA or AA seasoning yet, but their time should come at the end of the year. Guys like Akin, Harvey, Pop.

IMO, Wright has never had the "right stuff" to be a consistent MLB pitcher.

I got my hopes up for a second and thought Wright had been designated for assignment.

He reminds me of Forrest Gump's shrimping boat after the big storm....except that every time he pulls the net out of the water, there are still no shrimp in it.

Why did they ditch the change if it is his most effective pitch? Wouldn't that mixed with the cutter give the hitters a different look and more separation from the FB speed?

Why can't he maintain a FB in the 95-97 range in 1-2 inning stints? He is maddening and I can only assume that he shows more in workouts but just doesn't in the game.

And just like that, Ynoa gets beat around like a bad MMA fighter right after i suggest he'd be better than Wright!

While Wright goes 2 scoreless.

Wright would have to pitch the next 14 innings without giving up an ER to lower his ERA to a respectable 4.50

Ynoa had no command of his slider or change tonight and his fastball isn't good enough to play when guys have eliminated his other pitches. Just not a sharp outing, he'll get it back, just bad timing.

What’s the old pitching moniker, you need one pitch to compete, two to win, three to dominate. Our guys have such a small margin of error that they need 3 just to compete. 

At this point it just is what it is. We have a September pitching staff in April. 

Just start with the basics, who on this team has even a consistently avg FB, with consistently avg command?  Not many.

Looks like Wright stays until Rogers and Bleier are replaced.

Rogers was sent down after the game Bleier's health is questionable  Wright will be on the team for the foreseeable future

How is Bleier's heath questionable?

Not being good doesn't mean he's hurt.

The Orioles are discussing a couple of ways to give struggling reliever Richard Bleier a “reset,” including his placement on the 10-day injured list.

Manager Brandon Hyde said Bleier is being “checked” today by the medical staff and the Orioles will make a decision on him. It could happen later this afternoon or the following day.

“I don’t know how well his arm is responding. He’s getting a little checked out today. We’re still going to continue to be patient with him. It’s a major injury he’s coming off of and I think it’s pretty cool that he was trying to be on this club, but I think we’re going to possibly reset him, also, and see how that goes.”

Hyde confirmed that the IL is one of the options with Bleier.
