WHAT?!?!?!?

We don't need a 5th starter until July 22nd. I guess they are bringing up an additional reliever.  FWIW, Blanco says that Cairo wouldn't commit to returning Ogasawara to the rotation.

One of the better starts we've had lately.  Wood's misplay made his outing look worse than it really was.

On the other hand the ball was smoked. Wood only had a chance to misplay it at all because it was hit almost directly at him.

I was there. 3 of those hits Tena should have made plays on at 2B. That being said, a few of those hits were screamers off the bat. His stuff isn't all that great, and when you top out at 92, even as a lefty, it ain't gonna cut it.

Yea, he just doesn't look like a big league starter. If we make him a reliever, can he pump 93+ on his fastball for an inning?

Has he even had an outing close to that good?  9k's is pretty impressive.

I was there. I hadn’t realized what a soft tosser he was - most of his pitches ranged from 70 to the low 80’s. I only saw one pitch that hit 90. The batters simply didn’t know what to do. He looked very strong the first 2 times through the order, but on the third go round, they started hitting him. He was taken out with the bases loaded, but the score was 10-1.


The pitcher who replaced him, Jared Simpson, promptly let all 3 inherited runners score, and gave up 4 of his own, just for good measure, although all were unearned. The game seesawed after that, ending with. Harrisburg 13-12 win in the 10th inning. Just a weird game overall.

Still think his path forward is as a reliever

Or with one of the Bananas teams.
