The Vanimal has had an underrated career, and he's pitching like a guy worth keeping around this season.
Last night after the Orioles' comeback win against the Tigers, I was too lazy to change to the channel or move off the couch and ended up catching Buck Showalter's press conference. Once he sat down, the first question was what you'd expect, something about how encouraging it was that the team was able to score seven runs without a homer. Buck's answer, though, was interesting. Before he said anything remotely relevant to the question, he took the time to talk about how important it was that Vance Worley pitched a shutdown inning after the O's took the lead, and how well Worley has been pitching overall.
