Chris Tillman

(16-6)

3.72 (1.24/.237)

136K / 60BB, 19HR

QS: 14

</b>

Tillman has a 3.09 (0.86) since coming off the DL, but really hasn't been the same pitcher he was before the injury though still effective so far. His velocity was down in the 90-91 range most of the game against TB where he allowed three runs in 5.2 IP. His numbers are quite high at home this season after starting out strong, but has very good numbers against Boston for his career.

David Price

(16-8)

3.91 (1.18/.253)

217K / 44BB, 25HR

QS: 21

Price put up a 2.80 in July, a 2.93 in August and a 3.54 so far in September following his last start allowing five runs on nine hits in six innings to the Yankees. That snapped his seven game winning streak and was the worst start of his since back in July. In his last three starts against the Orioles, Price has a 2.45 (0.50) with 24 strikeouts and no walks in 22 innings. He allowed five home runs though which account for all of the runs allowed. Price is 5-0 in nine starts at Camden Yards.

Michael Bourn (22 AB) .136, 2B

Jonathan Schoop (17 AB) .235, HR, 2RBI

Drew Stubbs (11 AB) .364, 3B, RBI

Both Jimenez and Buchholz pitched well and the only run through five innings was due to a throwing error by Sandy Leon on a sacrifice bunt where he threw to second instead of first and got no one. The subsequent walk led to a bases loaded sac fly from Jones. Jimenez pitched out of two pretty huge jams in the first and third inning and left a jam in the sixth to Brach who ended up loading the bases with one out thanks to a bad play by Weiters. He struck out Bradley Jr. after going 3-0 on him and got Leon to hit a ground ball to Davis, but he threw it away allowing two runs to score. The very first pitch to the next batter Benintendi got up over the scoreboard for a three run homer to bust the game open and it was really hard to see. I don't know what Davis was thinking throwing it so hard to Brach, but not only was it a bad throw but Brach could have hurt himself trying to extend enough to catch it. Fortunately, that didn't happen. Brach is the one that let the game get out of hand by allowing the homer to Benintendi.

What's worse is what does the Orioles offense do in the bottom of the sixth? Davis tries to hit a solo shot and flies out to center, Trumbo tries to hit a solo shot and flies out to center and Alvarez grounds out weakly to second base. There was no attempt made to start a rally. The only attempt made was to hit home runs with no one on base and it has been the achilles heel of this offense for most of the second half of the season. The Orioles are 0-5 against the Red Sox at Camden Yards since the AS break.

Tillman and Price should be a good one. It will be interesting to see if Tillman's consistent 94-95 returns on the fastball in his third start back from the DL. Price is always tough on the Orioles and is undefeated at Camden Yards. Can Chris be the stopper again?

The Yankees (barring a six run ninth for the Rays), M's and Astros win today as the race is now tighter than it's been all season long. Houston is a game back, Seattle two back and the Yankees still hanging around at 2.5 back. The DET/MIN game is in a rain delay in the third inning with no score. If they win, they will be a half game back of the Orioles for the second WC.

Wild Card Standings

*Toronto +1.0

*Baltimore --

Detroit -0.5

Houston -1.0

Seattle -2.0

NY Yankees -2.5

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      Tanner Scott is on his final year with the Marlins and Hunter Harvey has one more year with the Nats, those are the likely biggest available names. Kopech from CWS is also a potential RP option. Problem is there are very few actually worthwhile players on the teams that will sell - I don’t expect the Giants, Astros, Cardinals or Angels to sell even if they should. The Nats have some good young players that won’t be available, and not much else. And the Rockies are baffling adverse to trading any of their players, if they even end up with someone worth trading for.  Mason Miller and Jesus Luzardo have plenty of team control left (pretty much all of it for Miller, and 2 years after this one for Luzardo), they will get talked about a lot but are not super likely to move. Luzardo also has pitched quite poorly thus far.

      I have to admit. I'm an addict.

      By Roy Firestone · Posted

      Because you and I text often, and did during the game yesterday...you know how annoying and negative I can be. I'm a whiner and complainer when it comes to this team. But when we win, and I see some kind of performance like Henderson gave...I want to write a sonnet or symphony in my mind...paint some sort of masterpiece. I have to put my joy SOMEWHERE. Yes, I probably am over the top in my love for this team. WEAMS came and stayed at my home a few years ago and was mesmerised by my Oriole  collection of memorabilia that goes back more than 50 years when I was a batboy. Brooks Robinson and Palmer stayed for a weekend once. I was told to take all my Oriole stuff down, lest Brooks think I'm a kook. Brooks David, his son, told me to "keep all the stuff up...my dad LOVES this stuff. And Brooks Sr did INDEED "love the stuff". So, yes, even in a long up and down season...I cant curb my addiction. I sulk when we lose or are losing...and I'm giddy as a 5 year old when we win dramatically. Maybe I should seek a therapist. But I don't want to. I dont want to or need to be "fixed"....To quote the line from earlier in this comment...."I love this stuff". Its a romance that breaks my heart sometimes, but when it's right and I'm happy...nothing else in sports for me, comes close.

      Offense is down in MLB this year — but not in Baltimore

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We've been also doing this while carrying Holliday's bat.  Other than that, we have a Braves level offense.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      You can’t see injury or decline until it happens. And he will decline in his 30s.  Whether or not he has injury issues is to be seen.

      I hope this thread doesn't start a jinx!!!!!!! 😀 Waving my anti-jinx wand!!!!  Baseball is a game of averages. Don't assume anything long term - as sure as it may seem. Just cross fingers and enjoy the now.

      By DirtyBird · Posted

      I agree on the Nats, which is why they are at the bottom of the list. They do  Hunter Harvey coming into final arbitration year, which is appealing.
