(10-1)

3.52 (1.21/.236)

88K / 33BB, 13HR

QS: 8

Last 6 starts (36 IP): (4-0) 5.00 (1.36), 10HR

</b>

Despite all the wins, Tillman has been pretty awful overall over the last six starts and sports a 4.80 ERA in June. He has allowed a whopping 10 home runs over those six starts which have replaced the walks he was giving up earlier in the season. So, walks are way down and home runs are way up. He has good numbers against the M's and at Insurance Company Field and has decent numbers on the road this season.

Taijuan Walker

(3-6)

3.45 (1.16/.240)

70K / 17BB, 14HR

QS: 6

Walker skipped his last turn in the rotation due to tendinitis in his foot and will make his return here. He allowed three earned in five innings against us in May at Camden Yards. Walker had a really rough month of May overall allowing nine home runs in 29.1 IP ending the month with a 4.91 ERA. He had a 1.44 in April and a 3.80 this month in three starts with two of them being bad ones and two of them being good ones. In the two bad ones, he allowed nine earned in 8.1 IP with four home runs allowed against Texas and TB. In the two good ones, he allowed no runs on nine hits and a walk in 13 IP against Cleveland and Boston. They have alternated, so the starts weren't consectutive in either case and he is coming off the start at Boston of five shutout innings. Walker has been at his best at Insurance Company Field, but has not done well against the Orioles in three starts.

The Orioles are now in their third 7-game winning streak of the season, but the reason I am not all that impressed by any of them is that they mostly came against teams that were either not very good generally or were good teams playing astoundingly bad baseball at the time. Except for KC and the April streak (Rays and Boston were both at .500 a handful of games into the season), no other games in those winning streaks involved teams that were at or above .500 at the time and the Royals were god awful in that series. That by no means is meant to imply that they somehow shouldn't count because that's just silly, but they might as well have been playing against AAAA teams with pitchers that live in the middle of the plate with average stuff and/or offenses that can't score to save their lives. I think these things have made the Orioles look better than their record indicates they are. The second half will be much tougher and will obviously prove one way or the other just how good this team is and I can't wait to see how it all plays out.

Seattle has been showing signs of life lately, but they are dealing with a lot of injuries including King Felix. They did take the series against StL recently, so we'll see. Seattle's offense is pretty good, too. They have been in a funk, but look to be coming out of that these last six games. Their bullpen also ranks better in three of the four categories listed above and generally have better pitching than the Orioles. It will all come down to whether their offense keeps warming up or cools down.

Walker has been solid for the M's and is coming off a minor foot tendinitis injury here while Tillman has struggled to a 5 ERA over the last month of games. Walker is bad against the Orioles, but good at Insurance Company Field while Tillman has had much success against the M's in his career and at Insurance Company Field. I can't be sure what we will see out of Tillman at this point.

With Boston's loss today to the Rays, they are now tied for second with Toronto at 5.5 games back. Toronto has won two in a row and may be starting to get going again. The Yankees snap their three game skid by beating Texas with a six run ninth inning mostly due to a three run homer by McCann to tie the game and a walk off two run homer by Gregorius and sit 3.5 back in the WC race. The Indians have won 12 in a row now while KC beat StL in 12 innings and the Tigers have won two in a row sitting two back of the WC. Texas snaps their winning streak with their meltdown against the Yankees while Houston has now won 9 of 10 and three in a row and continue to be unstoppable. Seattle has scored four or more runs in five of the last six and five or more in three of the last four. They were shut down by Jameson Taillon tonight, though.

Obviously when the offense cools off things will get interesting, but I actually am feeling a little better about our rotation after seeing Gallardo's velocity sitting low 90's. If he can continue that, he's a solid mid/back end starter. All this team needs in all honesty is just solid starters. Even when the offense "cools off" we'll have solid production. We just won't be scoring 6+ runs every game out. If we can get quality starts and then give it to the pen to shut it down we have a very good shot every time out. Tillman, Gausman, and Gallardo I feel solid about. The rest of the rotation is the big question mark. Hopefully Ubaldo can just give us a shot most times out. He's going to have that terrible game every once in a while, that's just who he is.

I, on the other hand, am impressed by any team's winning streaks. Tampa just manhandled Boston. I do not think the Orioles faced minor league pitching grooving the ball for them.

I just got 4 tickets for tomorrow night and already have tickets for Friday night. While I'm trying to go with friends, I haven't confirmed anything with anyone, so probable that I will have some free tickets for some games during the M's series. Let me know if you're interested and your flexibility, since it might be a last minute thing. If I have tickets, they should be pretty good. As in... 1st or 2nd row by first base or right on the corner of the visiting dugout.

ie: If I have any, it will be free to any O's fan.

Just so we know you will stay if it goes extras. K?
