Happy Sunday, Chatters. The Orioles had a rough time last night, losing to the Yankees 8-3. Tyler Wells was again bad. This is the third game in a row, which makes me worry it’s a trend. In his last three starts including last night, Wells has given up 11 runs in nine innings. Not great.
I know Mike Elias pointed out there is no science to support innings increases hurt a player, but Wells is getting beyond his top number and something is going on with him. If the Orioles trade for another starting pitcher, Wells seems like a prime candidate for a move to the bullpen to make room.
