If the O's are in a one game playoff, I want Tillman to start it. I was about to give up on him around the trading deadline. If the O's could have included Tillman as "part" of a trade for Headley, I would have been all for it. I guess that's why Duquette is the GM and I'm not.

Don't worry about it. There was someone yesterday saying that the O's should look to trade Tillman this offseason. I think we all need to pitch in and get that person a television.

By the way, excellent call by Lucky Jim on seeing and believing in Tillman's potential all along.

I'm only half-kidding when I say that Tillman himself should probably give L.J. a modest bonus for following him so closely, and seeing in him what many others had not at the time of his career rehabilitation while at AAA-Norfolk.

Where's bd? Haven't seen him for awhile. Looks like i owe him a 6er.

Sadly I'm not in the states to finally see the O's play (for the first time, personally, that is) at Camden Yards in the playoffs but if they make it again next year I'm going to do my damndest to make the trip, so we'll have to have a long memory on this one! A 6 pack of Lucky 7 Porter or an IPA (I'll share, don't worry ;) ) before an Orioles game (if it's 2013, maybe Chris Tillman will be starting?) sounds like a dream come true.

In the meantime, here's to Tilly starting game 1 of the ALDS in 2012.

      Umpire Scorecard Thread

      The best umpire so far this year has been wrong over 5% of the time, the worst close to 10%.  I suspect historical averages are similar  There is simply no persuasive argument to not institute technological assistance to calling balls and strikes unless you can clearly demonstrate that the outcome would be worse.

      He didn’t get any attention in Spring Training because Albert Suarez was the noteworthy out-of-nowhere old MiL contract, but keep an eye on Luis Gonzalez. He’s a soft-tossing lefty RP, but he has an elite top 1-5% spin fastball - around 2450 RPMs. The fastball is only 91-92 MPH, but that spin rate caught my eye in Spring Training as is clearly why he was brought in as a 32 year old who hasn’t pitched in the minor leagues since 2021. He unfortunately doesn’t have the same ability for spin on the breaking balls, but that’s still a lot to work with. Now, in 16.2 IP he’s got 25/3 K/BB and only 1 HR, good for a 3.78 ERA, 2.32 FIP, 3.38 xFIP. Very high fly ball % as you might expect for a fastball with that spin, so he might be the type that can get a lot of soft fly balls and run a better FIP than xFIP. For what it’s worth, Steamer already projects him for 3.93 ERA / 4.19 FIP at the MLB level, and that will quickly adjust if his sample size of performance at this level in AAA increases. Vespi is still on the 40-man and has an option, but he’s been struggling with walks in AAA and his FIP/xFIP are pretty awful despite the nice ERA. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Gonzalez leapfrog him if the need for a lefty RP arises, although the option and already being on the 40-man definitely work in Vespi’s favor if it’s a short-term thing.

      We’ve been completely f****d this year by umpiring because we’re the biggest competition to the MFYs this year.

      Frobby has his own ZIPS projections on how many times and when his wife is in the mood.   Her splits say May is always a good month but his hit rate is better on the road than home.    I would really like to know his whiff rate.
