    Really not a fan of trying to stretch Teng out as a starter if that is what they plan on doing.

    At this point, I think they are just trying to find an arm that hasn't fallen off.

    I know, but they have a few guys in the minors they could call up.

    They have serious pen issues as well.

    I guess it is like trying to repair the Titanic, at some point you just "try stuff".

    Camden Yards is my favorite ballpark. Always imagined myself hitting a home run into one of the windows of that warehouse behind right field.

    Guess it's worth a try with Teng, a good middle reliever won't matter if we have a starter getting bombed on the regular.

    I have to imagine we're pretty close to calling up Pecko and Alimber Santa and giving them a chance instead of these 4A roster filling scrubs.

    Teng will give us 5 scoreless innings then the first reliever into the game will walk the bases loaded then the second reliever will allow all of them to score.

    You'd think eventually Harris and Matthews would give us SOMETHING, right??

    Even Smith has fallen into a slump, let's hope this one isn't 3 months long like last year...

    Moving your one consistent (so far) reliever out the bullpen is a choice.

    Not really too many good options, so whatever I guess.

    Except, apparently, changing the manager.

    A bullpen game for a bad bullpen. The starter is ok, but after that…:(:(:(
    Odds of winning….10%. Prove me wrong. I’ll eat crow….

    If he’s dealing and making batters at the top of the lineup whiff, let him get through the order at least once and then mound-visit him to ask how he’s feeling to face the same guys again (if his PC is down)— as long as he doesn’t serve meatballs— let him cook.

    … just get through the order once, plus 1-3 batters through the next order with < 2 runs & pitch count under 70-75. (Shiittt, now that I read that— thats a helluva ask).
    I need to see high LOB #’s for BAL. Keep em stranded, limit the walks, get some GIDPs.
