O's vs Royals 5/5

Not sure why or how or how long it's going to last, but I'm streaming the game live on mlb.com. FYI.

Neither of them have earned the 5th spot, but I would say Bergy has a slight edge at this point.

This start really isn't a good argument against Tillman anyway. He's been horrifically unlucky.

I agree with this too. I still think Tillman has a bright future but he is not getting it done.

Pretty sure that's their free game of the day.

Maybe, but Tillmans biggest problem is that he is a flyball pitcher who cant make people miss. The league BABIP is around .300 when you let everyone put the ball in play and you pitch up in the zone terrible things are going to happen. Of course as I say that he K's someone....

[Remember The Alomar]

If he can get out of this with just giving up those two runs, I'll be fine with it. Chen is pitching and it's not really Tillman's fault that the Royals glued eyes to all their balls.

I agree. It's his inability to consistently throw strikes that's hurting him.

Of course. I'm leaning toward Bergy as well to be honest. However, Tillman has been getting ground balls so far. He just hasn't been getting outs.

See, there's the argument against Tillman. Get's into a hitters count and grooves one in.

[El Gordo]

This is getting ugly.

There's your 3rd run. 22 pitches.

Who´s warming up in the pen ???

[crissfan172]

I swear...these kids are going to make me kill someone.

[NewMarketSean]

Wow.

Can we send Tillman down now? Before Matusz comes back?

[crissfan172]

There aren't words...
