Chris Tillman

(14-2)

3.18 (1.19/.226)

108K / 48BB, 14HR

QS: 12

</b>

Tillman has now thrown four straight starts of seven innings and one run allowed and is red hot after a rough June. I think he has to be in talks for a Cy Young at this point in time if he can keep this up and already has 14 wins including a perfect 8-0 at home. He remains on pace for a career high in walks by a large margin, but it doesn't seem to be hurting him as much as it probably should be. Tillman has never faced the Rockies before, but has seen some of their hitters before.

Chad Bettis

(8-6)

5.31 (1.47/.296)

89K / 31BB, 14HR

QS: 7

Bettis has a strong April (3.77) and is having a strong July (3.46), but was awful in May (7.02) and June (6.84) and has allowed three runs or less in five of the last seven starts. He has generally been bad with runners on base this season and allowed eight runs in 2.2 innings in his only start against the Orioles which was also at Camden Yards with six of those runs being unearned.

Ryan Flaherty 1/2

Adam Jones 1/2

Chris Davis 1/1, 2B, RBI

Gallardo tosses his first sub-4 ERA game and De La Rosa has a strong performance as well, but the Rockies ultimately gave the game away in the 10th with a ground ball that should have been a double play to end the inning that turned into a play at the plate which would have been an out, but Hundley just dropped the ball allowing the winning run to score and the Orioles get their fifth straight win.

Not much to say here. Tillman is hot and has been unbeatable at home this season while Bettis is pretty much just some guy. The Rockies will have to play one hell of a game to win this one. A sixth straight seems inevitable for the Orioles here.

Boston loses to fall to 2.5 back and Toronto wins to stay at three back. The Yankees also beat Houston tonight as they continue to play well. The Tigers are 5.5 back of Cleveland who had the off day today and the Angels are beating KC. The White Sox look like they will beat the Cubs and Texas is losing to Oakland entering the bottom of the ninth.

    • +10 defense for me. 10 runs is 10 runs. But on defense, I think there's a small, hidden bonus in there of getting pitchers off the field, keeping them healthy, and keeping them pitching with confidence.  
    • I agree that I'd like to see more. I think a trade for a relief piece will happen before the deadline. When, and how big an addition it is, depends on the ripple effects of how well the Means, Bradish, and Wells recoveries go. 
    • Would be nice if Cooper had something to say about Mayo’s defense.  We know he can dominate AAA offensively.  Cooper doesn’t need to tell us that.  
    • Tony, I really did not intend that to be disrespectful at all. There were several other posts about Basallo's tough start and I was simply providing an alternate take that maybe it's not too much to worry about since he's so young for the level he's at. I will acknowledge "nothing to see here" and the "lol" does come off snarky, but it really was not intended as a shot in your direction specifically. It was more of a "hey let's pump the brakes". It was just strictly my opinion, and yes, my opinion is often wrong.  But I do think it's worth mentioning in the context of his rough start that he's super young for his level and coming off injury. Those are big factors. My way of delivering that thought was admittedly clumsy and reads more fanboyish and flippant than I wanted it to, so apologies there. 
    • True. So any combination of guys will score runs with the same net run differential. I guess part of the game would be to construct a roster where you have players with a bunch of different skillsets, and then maximize each player's advantage depending on the situation. That is also definitely something the Orioles have done very well under Elias/Hyde. 
    • I dont know if this is pertinent to the post...but I want people to see this quote about ONE of the prospects in question: " I resisted writing about Mayo last week, as he just continues to impress, week after week, and how many times can I write that he hits the ball really hard, hits it in the air, doesn't swing and miss very much and is very young? So instead, I'll just hope that he'll be up in the majors soon so I don't have to find new ways to express just how elite of a prospect he is. Jordan Westburg's emergence has perhaps clouded the immediate future for Mavo, but there's no question he's shown everything he needs to. He checks every analytical box, and hopefully the Orioles find a way to squeeze him into their major leaque roster soon. JJ Cooper, Baseball America
    • Saying all of this, if Holliday gets a hit and a walk tonight and looks comfortable, I'm not necessarily making the change. If he looks totally lost still, I would. Tonight.
