  OAKLAND, Calif. Asics Gel Nimbus Mens Clearance . -- Ross Detwiler had a nightmare season in 2015, going a combined 1-5 with a 7.25 ERA for the Texas Rangers and Atlanta Braves, and this year he made seven relief appearances for the Cleveland Indians before being sent to Triple-A Columbus.Detwilers baseball career was in a tailspin, but he has been on an upswing ever since a trade to the Oakland As on July 17.Detwiler went 4-0 in with a 3.86 ERA in four games, including three starts, for Triple-A Nashville. He will be recalled Wednesday to start for the As against the Baltimore Orioles and Yovani Gallardo.Its been kind of a journey this year, but I kind of found a new love for the game a bit once I got to this organization, Detwiler said Tuesday before the Athletics 2-1 victory against Baltimore. Ive had fun and Ive been successful so Im really excited to get the opportunity up here.Everybody in Nashville is just loose and had fun. I wouldnt say it was a chore before, but you just went to the field and it was a job. And now its fun and theyre winning a lot down there. Its a good team and a good group of guys. It kind of says a lot about the organization.Detwiler has appeared in 180 major league games over nine seasons with 76 starts. He has made only seven big-league starts over the past three seasons, but he has spent most of this season at Triple-A as a starter, his preferred role.As a reliever you just dont really know when youre throwing, Detwiler said. Im a person thats always kind of had my own routine. Relieving was tough for me. Once I started again, I got back on a routine. I felt good about it. I was able to carry the routine over once I got traded over here. Its been working for me so Im going to stick with it.Gallardo (4-3) will make his 15th start of the season. Hes coming off a solid outing Friday in a 7-5 victory against the Chicago White Sox. Gallardo allowed two runs on seven hits over six innings. He struck out three and walked one.Yovanis a professional, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. None of us are what we were at 24, 25, but hes a guy that knows how to pitch. Once he got through some of the physical problems he had, he has really kept us engaged in the competitive part of the game, and thats really what you ask from starters in the American League.Gallardo went 13-11 with a 3.42 ERA last season for Texas before coming to Baltimore in a Jan. 19 trade. Before that, he went 89-64 with a 3.69 ERA from 2007-2014 for Milwaukee.The As won the first two games in the series. They beat the powerful Orioles 3-2 on Monday night when Kendall Graveman allowed one run over seven innings. Then on Tuesday night, Zach Neal moved from the bullpen to the rotation and gave up one run on two hits over 5 1/3 innings.Detwiler is 0-2 with a 5.09 ERA in seven career appearances, including four starts, against Baltimore. Hell enter Wednesdays start, however, with renewed confidence.Theres been kind of a resurgence in my off-speed (pitches), mostly my curveball, Detwiler said. Ive been able to throw it for strikes and bounce it a few times. I think thats why my strikeout numbers are up a little bit this year.

Way back in 2011, the Magic were perennial playoff-makers (six straight appearances in all, starting in the 2006-07 season), coached by Stan Van Gundy and ranked a lofty 16th overall in these very Ultimate Standings. Five years, four postseason-less campaigns and four head coaches later? Theyre mired in the muck of mediocrity, a disheartening 49 spots lower (No. 65 overall), with no top-50 rankings to their name, besides affordability and stadium experience. Where, oh where, has the magic gone?Whats goodThe still-gleaming, still-shiny-new Amway Center, now in its seventh year, remains a fan favorite in Central Florida (25th in having a great stadium, its the top-ranked NBA arena). The tallest HD scoreboard in the league? Check. More than 1,100 digital monitors? Check check. A fun zone for kids AND one for adults? (For the over-21 set, its called the One80 Grey Goose Lounge, complete with sweeping views of the city.) Check, check and ... well, you get the picture. Even if the on-court action isnt great, that scoreboard -- with its 4.4 trillion shades of color -- makes it look great.Whats badTThe Magics aforementioned playoff drought -- four years and counting -- matches its longest dry spell since the franchise entered the NBA 27 years ago. Asics Gel Kayano 21. Hope, in turn, has run dry. Witness: With the team tied for 90th in title track, you can color Orlando fans skeptical about their championship prospects. (The Magic share that rank with the Milwaukee Bucks, their not-so-lofty NBA colleagues who have toiled in mediocrity for the better part of two decades.) Just a wild guess? The rash of new faces -- only six players remain from last years squad -- wont do much to mend already tenuous trust in the teams future prospects.Whats newBehold, the revolving door of head coaches in central Florida: Stan Van Gundy begat Jacque Vaughn begat James Borrego begat Scott Skiles ... begat Frank Vogel. Vogel, Orlandos fifth head coach in nearly as many seasons, looks to have the locals early buy-in, at least. He comes by way of Indiana, where, in his five full seasons at the helm, he steered the Pacers to four playoff berths. (His lone miss? The 2014-15 season, with Paul George lost for most of the year.) The Magic, in turn, jumped a healthy 33 spots in coaching since last year (their biggest leap in 2016) and climbed to a now-respectable No. 52.Next: LA Clippers?| Full rankings ' ' '
