Chris Tillman. Boss.

I recall him looking like crap on that one hitter.

He threw too many pitches but hardly like crap. He was 22 then also.

Chris Tillman. Boss.

It's remarkable what improved mechanics can do for a pitcher's stuff. 97 MPH!

Who is this guy? It says Tillman on his jersey but... I don't ever remember seeing this guy before!

[Great 2BA FL Gator]

What a huge boost he could be.. Not banking on it, but his stuff is very very good and his command is so much better than it ever was. He has painted the outside corner tonight and he has been down in the zone. He was rarely down in the zone previously in his career.

Now get to work on Matusz and Arrieta, Peterson.

New muscles help as well. Brady and Peterson have worked wonders.

It's the guy Jim Palmer and I have always seen through our Orange color futuristic glasses.

Jim sees a lot of himself in Chris Tillman. You can tell when he talks about him.

Props to you guys that have hung in tight on the Tillman bandwagon. Clearly a different pitcher today than I saw at any other point in his career. Obviously the improved velocity but a tighter better curve as well. Also got to love the difference between the fastball/change. Granted, its one start and the Mariners at that. I still worry about consistency but bottom line is I feel like really for the first time ever I was wacthing a guy that can be a successful ML starter.

I for one am standing and applauding right now. That was a awesome 2012 debut from a guy who needed it, and quite frankly, so does out team.

Of course the question is staying consistent for Chris Tillman. But for now, let's give him the Ovation he deserves for this game on this day.

Pretty disappointed that he couldn't stop the Mariners from hitting the ball to Betimit. Going forward he needs to realize that is one of the keys to getting ML hitters out.
