Orioles Relief Pitcher T.J. McFarland Is Ready To Face Actual Hitters

T.J. McFarland is a relief pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles.

T.J. joined Ed and Steve to talk about spring training and the upcoming season.

T.J. started off by talking about saying "anytime you improve your team you have to be happy...but at the same time there are enough guys here who are competing for the team." As for the feeling knowing that Gallardo eliminates a spot for one of those guys competing for a job T.J. said "it's kind of bittersweet but at the end of the day it helps the team win which is what we all want to do."

T.J. has the label of being a Buck guy and was asked what does that mean to be a Buck guy and said "just a guy that goes out and does his job, I pride myself on my hard work and that I'm durable...when you're called upon you do your job no questions asked and you're successful."

T.J. also talked about off-season workouts, teammates who have come into camp in shape, and possible rule changes and how they would change his game.
