The start vs St Louis was great. Last night was abysmal.

If you cross out those extremes, his other outings are kind of where I think he is right now.

Keep giving him the ball.

Agree, Chris. Let him keep working on it. Not any point to sending him back to the minors. He either figures it out up here or he doesn't.

[Mackus]

Only reason to consider sending him down is if you think he's getting shell-shocked and might backslide in terms of confidence.  We can't answer that, its a coaching question.  Otherwise, agree with above.  Just keep letting him pitch.  If he has more than a couple starts like last night you might consider a performance-related demotion to get him back on track.

[You Play to Win the Game]

He certainly had that shell shocked look last night. Understandable though, hopefully he rebounds.

Still waiting for anyone to tell me when they know something.

 

I'm fine with him.  Keep giving him the ball.....but whatever you think you know, you'll be right as often as wrong. 

[TwentyThirtyFive]

You keep giving him the ball right now. Not down on his long term outlook even if it ends up being a power BP arm with a fastball/slider mix.

[BSLZachEisner]

Agreed, it might be tough sledding for a bit but that's to be expected...still very high on him long term.

Last night... 4.2 ip, 6 hits, 2 er, 2 bb's, 6 k's, 1 hr.

FanGraphs: Kyle Bradish Is a Young Oriole Trying To Get Outs

[You Play to Win the Game]

From the fan graphs link above.

This is just great to hear. Not something in my 37 years on this planet that I think I’ve heard about the O’s before…

Laurila: The limited amount in college aside, when did you start getting access to analytic data?

Bradish: “We had some of it with the Angels, but there was more when I got over to the Orioles. That’s when we started going in-depth after bullpens, breaking down my outings. But really, I mostly just rip all my stuff through the zone. [The data] has helped with my changeup, though. It doesn’t look as good analytically, but since my fastball is basically a cutter, it plays like a true changeup.”

@masnRoch

Orioles put Kyle Bradish on 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation, retro to June 21. Recall reliever Marcos Diplan #orioles

[NewMarketSean]

So glad we only signed Jordan Lyles and a suspended drug dealer in the offseason.

@masnRoch

Bradish said his shoulder feels better. Sounded confident will be ready when 15 days are up #orioles

[TwentyThirtyFive]

3 perfect innings and 5k in a rehab start in Bowie. Interesting to see when he returns

[BaltBird 24]

The stuff plays..... all about control.

[Mike B]

I wonder if he gets to come right back.  Right now Watkins and Voth are doing well.  Two days off next week,  We will have to wait until after the AS break to find out.

99% sure he will.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

5 innings, 1 h, 0 BB, 4 K 66 pitches. Maybe one more minor league start over the AS break. Does seem likely he will be back in Baltimore real soon.

I think we will see Bradish and Harvey up and in the rotation after the break.  Voth probably goes to long relief, and it will be interesting to see who else leaves the rotation.

Maybe they go to a 6 man rotation.
