Got yank Wells (pun intended) soon before the game gets out of hand.

I would judge the situation in the same way

Has Wells hit a wall for the season?

Taking these last 3 starts into consideration, I think he's done as a reliable arm this year.

I don’t get why Irvin isn’t up. It’s the third inning. Irvin hasn’t pitched in forever anyway. 

At this rate, we will need Irvin to cover multiple innings. Which is somewhat terrifying. 

[Fiver6565]

Glad to see the quick hook tho. Wells clearly had nothing. 
 

again.

That’s what I worry about. Go get a real frontline starter and send him to the pen where he can get back to 96-97

They gave him a mop up inning the other night vs Philly

Wells just hasn't been the same pitcher since the AS break...I  wonder if he's hurting...he simply cant command his pitches and they are often flat when he can...

[eddie83]

They are going to have to back off of him. I’m no scout but he has no finish on his pitches. 

[baltfan]

Smart to get him out.  Hyde doesn’t just blindly stick to guys.

Has he ever thrown that hard ever? Wells has always been a control guy, he's had none for weeks now.

[Winter]

so much for our rested Bullpen 

[Spy Fox]

I’d guess we see Baumann for 1.1 and then Irvin for 2 or 3.

Stick Irvin in the rotation at this point, and see how it goes unless you pull off a good trade before it's too late.

Kudos to Hyde for pulling the plug now. That outing by Wells was going in one direction and quickly.

This Yankees lineup is manageable even with a committee approach.

This game and next game are important. Not only for staying ahead of everyone but also will give us the season series against them. Gotta play these games like they’re playoff games.

I am pretty sure by now that you are a Steeler fan. Maybe an old Colts fan. That's too bad.

Neither of those, either.

I have no personal gripe with the Ravens, but their arrival 100% knocked the Orioles out as the city’s true sports love. Just what football does.
