Nick Tepesch is no Roy Oswalt. He pitched into the 8th inning in his debut, posting a WHIP of 0.95 and striking out 5.
Anthony Andro has a writeup of the young Tepesch's outing last night, and flirts with danger by invoking Scott Feldman. When you say his name three times in a column, Derek Lowe gets a spot start.

Hey, are you concerned about overworking your elderly closer in non-save situations? Well, Ron Washington isn't!
It appears that any time Craig Gentry or Leonys Martin get played to maximize platoon advantages will be pure happenstance
Derek Holland says he has his changeup back..
