Last Saturday I got the chance to tell Tilly nice job for his start Friday night while he was shagging fly balls during BP.

How is it a data point?

It's a statistic, one of many, that can be used in comparing two players. It is positively correlated with pitching well.

Proposed nickname for Tillman... The Bulldog.

Doesn't have the prettiest outings or peripherals but flat out gets the job done and is tough as nails. Works hard. Sort of resembles one too.

25 years from now, it will likely be forgotten that Jim Johnson cost Chris Tillman a 20 game win season and an outside shot at the Cy Young. Both rare achievements in recent Oriole history.

20 game season, maybe. I have as good a chance of winning the powerball as Tillman would the Cy Young, even with 20 wins.

Tillman has his work cut out for him tonight.

Tillman has his work cut out for him tonight.

they are 4-6 in their last 10, so clearly they are beatable.

I think that there is truth in both of these statements.

Many OH remember Mussina and the reliever that cost him, his 20 game season here with the Orioles.

Tillman has maxed out his development unless he starts throwing fastballs to the inside corner. He doesn't come inside.

Well, we have one of the best game calling catchers in baseball.
