6/19: Orioles at Tigers

[WEAVERMAN]

C'mon Chris, keep them off the board.

[Going Underground]

25 pitches already .

[Big#3fan]

That a boy!

[Orioles4Life21]

Atta boy Tilly.

[Orioles4Life21]

Tillman will settle in and give us 6. No more than 3 runs allowed.

[webbrick2010]

Tillman needs to find away to be more efficient

25 pitches in 1st inning... he'll go 6 tops again

[WEAVERMAN]

Let's work Porcello for a few runs.

[Orioles4Life21]

I HATE that Head & Shoulders commercial. Josh Hamilton sucks so far and CJ Wilson is average at best...

[Orioles4Life21]

I thought that was a bomb at first.

[Big#3fan]

Definitely would like to win this game. We are facing a HOT BlueJays team coming up

[Don Quixote]

Too many guys on this team don't walk enough. Jones is the most extreme of the bunch.

Even Nick doesn't walk as much as he used to. Earlier in his career, he posted on-base percentages around .400.

Not really. Aside from .408 in '08 when he took 99 walks (he hasn't had a total or rate close before or since), he's ranged from .347 to .370 (entire career).

the bottom three in our lineup today is death valley...whew its bad..

King of the reverse jinx...I love it.

[Going Underground]

Flaherty and Wieters seem to dribble alot of slow rollers to second.

[BohKnowsBmore]

25 pitches already .

While I think he can (and needs) to get better, this seems to be par for the course with Tillman. He uses too many itches, especially early, but seems to battle through it and more often than not since last season delivers a QS and gives the O's a chance to win. Definitely needs to be more pitch efficient to continue his development, but I dont believe its something to be overly concerned about in a given game at this point (it's not a bad sign regarding the outing).

[Ori-Al]

No opposite field for Flaherty. Chopper to second. D?j? vu all over again
