We have been patient. We waited through an especially long, cold winter. But the day is finally here. Jordan Lyles is just moments away from making his Orioles’ debut. Congratulations, everyone.
In seriousness, the Lyles signing is appreciated. His career numbers are, well, awful. But he threw 180.2 innings a season ago and has appeared in 11 different major league seasons. The guy has experience, and should be able to eat innings in a more effective way than some of the arms the Orioles trotted out in 2021
Now 31, I would not expect Lyles to suddenly figure out what has made him a well-below average major league hurler for years.
