Everybody wins when Richard Bleier jogs in from the bullpen, at least where the Orioles are concerned.
Manager Buck Showalter gets the services of as reliable a reliever as he's had all year. The position players get a quick, efficient pitcher to work behind and are back in the batter's box in mere minutes. Bleier gets to spend another day in the big leagues, a dream he had given up on long ago. And the relievers left in the bullpen get a few hours of peace and quiet.
At age 30, in his first extended major league opportunity, Bleier is taking the chance to be fully, unapologetically himself.
