Love what Ryan is doing this year but I hear what you are saying about short lived success. In a way, I kind of get that Brian Duensing feeling. If we recall, Duensing had that fantastic 2017 and then that was about it (outside of a really good 2010 where he was a starter). Keep Ryan in that mid-leverage type situation for the remainder of the year and bring him back next year to see if this year was lightning in a bottle or a trend of something better.
As for Wick, I don't want to get too excited, ..but the kid is a fucking savage right now. 97 Heater but then can drop to 78-80 MPH on the curve ball...Devastating combination and no situation seems to big for him right now. He is the kind of power arm we have been missing in the bullpen for a while now. Ride that train till the wheels come off. Wick/Kimbrel in the 8/9 and Kintzler/Chisek/Ryan in that 6/7/8(situational) and now we take some pressure off the starters.
Like I said. Ryan has another level to his game to uncover. He needs a go-to off speed.
