This team just made a statement

"You can call it what you want to, but he started antibiotics. Doing nothing but sleeping. We sent him home early yesterday. I was worried about bedsores. Make-up wise he's got what it takes to pitch up here. I am real proud of him."

Buck

That's awesome. The want to in Tillman is night and day from when he was last here. Keep grinding it out big cat.

Friday nights loss to the A's had such a stink surrounding it that it felt like it could cause a downward spiral. They won Sunday to avoid being swept and have now gone into the Bronx and played like they don't give a **** about the MFY. How long have we been waiting for that kind of attitude? As Orioles fans, we have watched enough O's/Yanks games over the years to feel doom after being down 5-0 after 1 inning but they didn't at all. What a comeback. All 7 runs came with 2 outs.

This year has been so crazy. Most of the time I don't know whether I want to hug or slap them. They have SO many flaws but they are so damn likeable. Go O's!!!!!!

Probably the biggest win of the year. I was listening in my car, had to get out with 2 outs in the 1st, down by 5, and when I got back I heard we were up 8-5. Utter disbelief.

Buck

Ive heard a lot about Buck meeting with Tillman in the dugout and looking very proud of his starter. Anyone know if theres video of this? I'd love to see it.

Hey Nova, who's your daddy?

[crashgravity]

Incredible win. I watched a bit of the first inning before turning it off to get ready to go out to eat. I knew it was 5-0 early but I had a good feeling. Sure enough, kept getting the ESPN text alerts and the last one came as we pulled up to the restaurant. I asked my girlfriend (it was her birthday, she's a good sport) to read me the text. I shouted at her and told her to repeat herself when she said 7-5. Nearly **** myself. Awesome!:thumbsup1:

"The surging Orioles." We've won 3 in a row and 4 of our last 5 but whatever

Also, wasn't the huge inning in the 2nd?

Yesterday, at 4, there was definitely a gasp of disappointment in O's nation.

Nothing to do now but tighten the ole chin-strap and dig deep to riot for our boys.

Who knows, maybe the threat of looming trades had this young team turned upside-down. Maybe a no trade was the vote of confidence they needed!!! (?)

Pretty funny typo there. At least, I assume it's a typo.

Yes, it was the second inning. ESPN sure does a poor job of editing its online content for accuracy.

Great win for the Orioles. If this game was in Detroit, Toronto, Chicago or Texas it would have been a great win. Being in NY is huge and says a lot about team character.

Why a change in the offense? The addition of Quintanilla for 2B (called Q by Buck) and Markakis (called Nicky by Buck) coming back to hit leadoff has been huge. Quintanilla makes solid plays at 2B and is definitely better than RA and he hits the ball everywhere. He reminds me of a National League player which is really good for the team. He does a lot of small things that I think may be going unnoticed. He turned a DP late in the game last night when he bobbled the ball and quickly picked it up and threw to Hardy in time to still get the DP. Markakis is thriving at leadoff. LEAVE HIM THERE! Lew Ford playing in left solidifies our defense out there and he did get his first hit last night and ended up scoring after a wild pitch and sacrifice. He is also a veteran and can help this team in more ways than one. His story may also make the players appreciate their time in the major leagues. He also beat out a ground ball that could of been a DP last night because he hustled down the line. It wasn't a game changer but something the other players surely noticed. Every run last night was important and Fords run scored after his 2B padded the lead for us before Nick hit his 2 run HR to blow it open. Davis not moving all around in the OF has allowed him to focus on his hitting and I believe they said he is hitting well over .300 during the last 10 games.

Chris Tillman's effort while being sick was another statement for the team. I don't know if anyone's noticing but every time he pitches the players and Buck all have something good to say about him. I was at his first start as an Oriole at OP and remember how good he looked on the mound even though he gave up a lot of runs. It looked like his delivery was not consistent and his landing point needed some adjustment. It has taken several years for our Norfolk guys to appear to have corrected his delivery. His comments after the game were also right on the money. He credited wheaty, a name he calls Wieters, for telling him after the horrible 1st he needed to take it up another level or pick it up a little and helping him straighten out for several more innings that really helped the team. The players all seem to be calling him Tilly and complimenting him which tells you they like him. It looks like most of the players have nicknames which is really a good sign and shows they are playing like a team and pulling for each other. I said before that when all is said and done Tillman could be better than Arrieta or Matusz and possibly Britton. Britton is up and down and hard to predict. He is lefthanded and the Yankees seem to struggle against lefties. He got rocked in NY last year if my memory is correct. Can he forget about it and give the Orioles 5 or 6 good innings today? A win today would be really big for the team and hopefully our offense waking up will carry over through the weekend against Tampa.
