Not quite all year. The first month of the season he started off on a roll.

13 G; 0.00 ERA; 0.583 WHIP; 10.0 K/BB; 2 saves

Many O's fans (here an more broadly) were absolutely saying that we could use a pitcher like that and Elias was bad for having dealt him.

Even thru his first 21 appearances had a great ERA: 1.31. That had to be an important sign to Elias.

Why he’s awful! We caught lightning in a bottle for 1/2 season. The rest of his years are all the same …. Bad pitching stats.

Looks like he’s doing pretty well thus far.

If they use him properly and not throw him out there for multiple innings, I think he'll be fine. He had a very good first inning the other night, then they brought him back out for a 2nd.

DFA?  Does he have options?

I have to wonder if it's because of him throwing his glove to the ground after the last batter he faced.  He's been dealing with a lot this year.....he may need a mental break again.  I feel bad for him.  He didn't look bad, he just grooved a couple of pitches and the Rays made him pay.

I hope he gets himself right for next year, wherever he plays.  It's hard not to pull for him.

To be honest, it was pretty unprofessional for him to throw the glove like that (pretty sure it was in the middle of the play!). Fortunately his negativity didn't rub off on the rest of the team. I'm pretty much done with Jorge. We took a chance on him, time to move on. What's Tyler Wells been up to lately?

I don't think they're going to DFA him maybe Lopez is making a trip to the IL and maybe Irvin is getting called back up. Irvin has more value to the team right now.

Irvin started for Norfolk today, they wouldn't bring him up now when he won't be available for a few days

Bad timing on that as Irvin would be the most logical choice if there's going to be a roster move.

It was unprofessional.....and it's indicative of someone who is struggling mentally to allow that to happen there.

The last box score I looked at for Norfolk with Tyler Wells in it was not pretty.  I haven't looked at one in about a week though....

I just looked at the box score. He got lit up today too.

It's appropriate that someone with your board name is talking about mental issues !

Maybe.....but my Board name was derived (not lying) from the insanity of many of the rants that get posted in these threads....mostly the emotional over-reactions to everything from daily line-up decisions to roster moves to trades we didn't make, that we never even knew if we could have made them.

Wells hasn't pitched since Friday. He had a bad outing Friday but didn't allow a run in 4 of his other 5 AAA outings. I think he will be the one getting the call if anyone is.

That said, I wouldn't take the word of a random Tweet that Lopez isn't traveling to Houston. He celebrated the playoff berth yesterday so it isn't like he cleaned out his locker.
