When was the last time Alex Faedo came into a game without getting into trouble in the very first inning he pitches? It's gotta be, like, May since he's had a clean first inning.

Baez just saved Faedo's bacon to get that last out after Alex walked the bases full, then a run home. Another stellar first round pick coming home to roost. If the Fetter team can't fix him, he might be on his last legs here.

looks like they found a way to use Maeda; no idea why this works, but OK

Sounds like he's throwing his slider and splitter harder. He's made some adjustments.

If there were a game where you had to take a drink every time Andy Dirks called the split-finger pitch a “splitty”, I’d be dead of alcohol poisoning by now.

Why did Dirk’s career end so soon? 

Two back surgeries and still had pain so the doctor said he better try a different career. He was a realtor before broadcasting.

Bad back. Then he was finally at Toledo rehabbing and threw it out again in his 1st game there and I'm not sure he ever played again after that - certainly not in Det. 

EDIT: I see TM has posted on the surgeries. I assume the 2nd one was after the Toledo re-injury but I don't remember.

It was really too bad because he was turning into a very good hitter.
