Sat 92-93 on his FB in the first three.

Did he drop off after that or were you just not watching so not able to say? I'm curious because Tillman at 92-93 sounds pretty promising; we saw what a pretty similar guy in build and secondary stuff could do at 92-93 on Sat. night.

Watching it now. Hard to know - he looked like he got stronger. He had a K in the 6th that the radio guy called at 91MPH, but that may be the floor, velo-wise (or he could have been sitting at 91). He started mixing in his curve as the game went on. Very strong start. Nothing hit hard off of him all game.*

His 8th K came on a 94MPH FB, apparently.

It was a 94 mph four seam. A 69 mph Curve Ball and a 91 mph two seam. Or at least that is how I recall it ;)

I saw him throw 94 in the sixth.

I have trouble telling his FBs apart. Neither move particularly much. But his location has been good.

And thats the key. As we've seen with the guys in the rotation now if they aren't locating they aren't having success. I really hope he gets his shot before we make a move on a costly vet like Garza or somebody like Dempster who's stuff might not translate to the AL east. I don't think there's a doubt his stuff is better than Hunter's.

Four out of five good (I wouldn't read too much into the rain start). His pitch efficiency has, overall, been okay. He only had 88 pitches through 6IP.

I've watched more Tillman this year than usual - I think he warrants a shot, but I really need to see how his stuff plays against better hitters.

I think Tillman's next start needs to be on the big stage. The team needs a starter, and if Tillman isn't the guy, they will then need to get serious about trading for one. Tillman may be the answer to the question, or he may not be. but I would give him the chance first, and go from there. it would just be huge for Tillman to come on and pitch well for the Orioles right now. That would be the icing on the cake IMO.

It would be interesting to know whether there is any organizational buzz over Tillman's performance in the last 6-7 starts.

I would tend to doubt it. They have seen Tillman dominate AAA, at a much younger age than he is now. The problem has been the success hasn't translated over to the ML's. He's still young, so we shall see.

      Anthony Santander 2024

      By Sydnor · Posted

      It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.

      Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted.

      No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.

      The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.

      I would be very surprised if every last one of the GM's Elias talks to about quality starting pitching doesn't start by asking about Westburg and the rest.  Again, I think it's a mistake to believe that the O's have a ton of leverage here.  They certainly have some, and Elias is smart and disciplined, but I don't see any bargains.  I especially don't see the luxury of acting like youth and multiple years of control is any kind of rigid starting point for the O's.

      I say this as someone who defended Cowser like 2 posts ago, but like his fWAR number is entirely dependent on how much you're buying his defense.  I can totally buy the argument that maybe OAA is overrating him a bit, so he's not really on pace to be a 5.5 win player.  The OAA number is pretty eye-popping.
