This is exactly how to mitigate the poo poo bullpen.  We need innings eaters, they're also easier to replace than 100 mph'ers.
you think he can keep up giving that much contact and  not have some drop in? Also suppresses HRs.

Reminds  me of Christopher Walken in the Deer Hunter. You can keep defying the odds for a long time.

Parker over 2/3rds strikes so far, similar to Lord in Colorado the other day

Nunez is so good defensively. How about CJ to CF and Nunez as our light hitting regular instead of Young?

it's pushing it, but it'd be cool to let him go for the CG shutout. He's up to 89 pitches.

He's getting a little lucky having given up just one hit so far, but coming into tonight he was already averaging just over 6 IP per start.  He's not going to make the league leaderboard in K's or ERA, but doesn't waste pitches and could lead in IP.

there’s a thread on Reddit that says it is having issues.

Been working fine for me. Even got it synced up with the radio so I can still listen to Charlie and Dave. This is how you do it.

Orioles look out of sorts, still stinging from the 24-2 loss the other day

Or, put Wood DH, play Abrams in LF, and have Nunez and Young both in the lineup

well, he is making the leader board on ERA . . .

If he can suppress the homers and avoid walks, I'm ok with the contact.

100 pitches.  Do you let him go for the shutout?

Let him finish it out.   He’s getting stronger each inning
