If you take 10 minutes I bet you'd find a ton of successful bullpen guys are failed starters. They usually don't see the lineup more than once. They get to throw with max effort. They get to focus on two pitches only. With better velocity and only seeing guys one time, even their mistakes are less likely to be HRs.
This isn't a novel theory. It's been tried and successful all the time. Hell. Oliver Drake has pitched in 30 games for one of the best teams in baseball. It's simply easier to be a reliever than a starter. That's why it works sometimes.
The only guy to get unanimously voted into the Hall (for some reason) was a failed SP.

Well he’s appropriately named

I’d like to go to Wrigley

Just found out we won. Turned it off when Givens blew another one and just assumed we would go quietly in the 9th. These O’s suck, but they got heart.

This is how I see it playing out.
1) Suspended for 3 games
2) Benched for the rest of the season
3) Released in the off-season
Obviously neither of those are gonna happen. They’ll gloss over it in the press conference. Davis claims he’s frustrated and admits his mistake. Story over

It was his “ole” terrible defensive play at first base on the Villar throw.
Thinking Davis owes Hyde 30 sit ups?

He has a concussion.
It was obvious that he would. The ball hit him square on the side of the head straight on. No idea why he wasn’t taken out of the game immediately.

August 27 vs Nats
Strasburg the batter and Bundy the pitcher in 2nd inning.

I have a hockey record. I took my skate off and tried to stab someone. I’m the only guy who ever did that.

If he wasn't going to be a catcher why would we draft him #1 overall?
Didn’t he also have the best bat?

This team is becoming much more likeable. There’s two or three potential All Stars.

He’s got an outside shot at 40 HR. Right now he’s on pace for 37-38.

Always liked the Giants.

Givens is a fairly similar pitcher to Will Smith and the Brewers got back Andrew Susac (26 year old AAA catcher) and Phil Bickford (21-year-old 1st round pick by the Giants from the previous year) a few years ago . I think that's the type of package the O's can get back for Givens. One interesting prospect in A-ball and a middling organizational guy in the upper minors.
One team’s middling organizational guy is our #1 SP

I mean, it’s the Washington Times what do you expect?
Also, I’ve never heard of this guy

Despite a poor major league record, he's been traded for pretty good players for some reason. Must have had potential!
Decent K/BB numbers. Just gives up a lot of HR, every year.

I guess it’s hard to keep the ladies away with all that hardware

It’s like watching a little league team get mercy ruled every night.

I don't know about the NBA or NHL but in NFL I would say the Browns are pretty hapless. I also think the Marlins are pretty terrible in their structure. They seem to be a talent farm for other teams.
Browns might be favorites to win the division but they have been really terrible.
Marlins have two WS wins since our last appearance and they didn’t exist for 10 years after our 83 win.

Tampa Bay (Montreal) Rays.
The second place team? The team that won 90 last year? Serious answers only please

Would be pretty awesome if we had the batting champ in this season of ineptitude.
