From Rotoworld

Chris Tillman has been scratched Monday at Triple-A Norfolk and could be on his way to Baltimore.

The O's need a starter for Wednesday, and Tillman seems likely to be the guy. He's registered a 2.88 ERA over his last 10 starts at Norfolk and makes for a decent streaming option in AL-only fantasy leagues.

This is good. Break him in against a team that's not very powerful in a big ballpark.

Of course, I thought the Indians were a pretty lousy hitting team...so I better watch what I ask for...

We made the Indians what they were. One thing we need to do to turn things around. Pitch Better. Like Palmer always says.

The Indians actually have a fairly decent hitting team, only the Rangers, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Yankees, and White Sox score more runs per game than the Indians in the AL. They've got an average hitting team, FWIW.

The Mariners are 3rd from worst having only scored 316 runs on the season....and only 3.9 per game.

Really hoping for Hammel and Chen to shut them down and give us some badly needed wins. Good timing for Tillman.

If he pitches on Wednesday, it'd be the Mariners.

But you're right, as Arrieta is slated for Wednesday.

I suspect that may change. Tillman would be on seven days rest Wed. Jake could go on five Thursday.

And so it came to pass that Chris Tillman completed his transformation and became that ex-girlfriend who threw lots of jagged ---- at your head, but who you'd really like to "grab a drink with," just one more time...

"and turned into your lover who you hooked up with once every five days or so. Not a perfect situation but one that kept you satisfied every fifth day . . ."

This is what I would do, though I really don't think Rotoworld had the foresight to make that assumption...I think they just screwed up.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      Different era obviously, but Rochester AAA manager Earl Weaver replaced O's skipper Hank Bauer in '68, just a year and a half after Bauer won the World Series.

      A good manager would have instructed him to bunt Well not for nothing, but I would like 100 dollars for every time a Good Manager did not bunt with first and second with nobody out. Now if the SF pitcher was LH, I would be onboard. If they were down by 1, maybe. Why would you not let Mullins hit there?

      Putting aside the issue of “not counting” stats that don’t fit the argument, I’m curious who he would have had hit there. What were the other options? Eloy Jimenez (1 for his last 23) Coby Mayo (3 for 37 with 21 Ks as a pro) Jackson Holliday (0 for last 22 vs LHPs  with 12 Ks) Livan Soto (~.600 career AAA OPS vs LHPs)   Not saying Slater was some slam dunk pick, but I honestly don’t really even understand how folks can criticize Hyde for those types of decisions anymore. Every lever he has available to pull is clearly marked *WRONG* in flashing red lights.

      People born in 1984 are 40 now and have never seen the O’s get past the ALCS

      Really tired of the losing, but even more tired of the team not playing the game the right way. Giants losing by a run get men on 1st and 2nd no outs, and their next guy lays down a nice bunt. Kremer slips fielding the roller and next thing you know they got bases loaded no outs, and a couple minutes later three runs have crossed the plate. We have the same situation in the 7th inning and our best bunt guy up to bat, and what does Hyde do? He has Mullins (0-3 at that point w/o hitting the ball out of the infield) swing away. WTF. Mullins strikes out, and our runners are eventually stranded.    At the very least Mullins should shown bunt. He didn’t. A good manager would have instructed him to bunt. Hyde didn’t. His team lost the game, and more importantly his team deserved to lose. That’s what really pisses me off.

      Rivera and Soto should be playing over Holliday and Mayo until Westburg and Urias return. It's what Buck would have done in 2014.
