Appreciate the updates!

You don't mind if they're hitting his change-up. At least he's throwing it, and controlling it w/take time.But the continual lousy control of his fastball, wild pitches, breakdowns, etc., is just getting to be too much to bear.

[JTrea81]

Cuddyer strikes out on a fastball, 2 out.

DCab is done for the day.

Final line:

1.2 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 WP

Randor Bierd in.

No way.....he walks far too many batters and he does not have the mindset to be a relief pitcher....as sais earlier "meltdown" is the best way to describe what he goes thru.

But this is his last chance with the Orioles. I can't see what the harm would be, in a rebuilding year, to get a look at him in the role. I'd hate to see him go elsewhere and become a dominant reliever when this club didn't even try him there. Hopefully he pitches well as a starter and the issue never comes up.

Morneau flies out to Jones to end the inning.

Thanks for the updates.
