Zach Duke has been in the league for 12 years?!?

 

One month bought him a decade of work. From his Wikipedia:

Duke's debut month included a 3-0 shutout victory against Greg Maddux and the Cubs on July 16 and 22 consecutive scoreless innings from July 2 to July 21. He was named National League Rookie of the month for July while compiling a 0.87 ERA, the best among all starting pitchers in the Major Leagues.[4]

 

He became only the second Pittsburgh rookie to win his first 5 decisions, along with Whitey Glazner. He also became one of only four pitchers during the Live-ball era to record an ERA below 1.00 in their first six starts (the others being Fernando Valenzuela, Boo Ferriss and Steve Rogers).[5] Duke finished 2005 with an 8-2 record in 14 starts, striking out 58 in 84.2 innings. He finished in fifth place in the Rookie of the Year voting, garnering 10% of the vote.

 

He's played for every team in the NL Central but the Cubs. He's actually been pretty decent as a reliever.

It's really bad when he's bad too. Go get him, Joe.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

thought maybe Bosio would give the ump more of the business

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Thanks for costing us a strike during Pham's walk, blue.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

not so great, Carl

[JonJayCutler]

This horsefeathering sucks. Failing to add on is going to cost us this one.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Well that was pathetic Carl

[Derwood]

Edwards is such an enigma

[jersey cubs fan]

Edwards is such an enigma

 

wrapped in one of those tiny question marks on the riddler's costume

[Aaron_Kennelly]

No big deal, Hector. Just strike out the side.

[Agony and Ivy]

Good job Edwards.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

this would be an incredibly annoying loss

[Agony and Ivy]

Edwards is such an enigma

 

Nah he's just not good at throwing strikes and it's why he'll never close.

[David]

we need you to pull some 2015 giants series stuff hector

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Can't wait for Edwards to be closer instead of Davis.

[sweetpeteman]

Yep, definitely don't need any bullpen help.
