[scOtt]

Tommy NAILS Hunter!

Jim Johnson hurt Tillman's chances for a 20 win season. Buck should have let Tillman finish it off.

Yea my exact thoughts man Tilly deserved this win BAD

[WEAVERMAN]

You have room to work, throw strikes.

[Emory Eagle]

I agree, the win should go to the pitcher who pitched the most innings.

"But for" causation versus "proximate causation." Heyo bar exam.

Did Tillman look spent? Was following on radio.

OH would have exploded if Buck sent him back out after 112 pitches.

[Hooded Viper]

Thought the LHP would jam him .. which he kinda did, but Davis is too damn strong.

Good lord you are wishy washy! If he Tilly gave up the lead you would have been screaming! Can't have it bothe ways!

[WEAVERMAN]

1 down, c'mon TH, get ahead.

Reading OH game threads during exciting wins is one of the best things ever. That's all I have to say.

A case of pick your poison, I think. Jones is hot right now and putting the ball in play. Probably why the walked him.

That said, I'd have pitched to Jones.

Yes, the O's do have a dangerous lineup. Some weak spots, but overall one that pitchers don't want to face.

I was actually thinking of asking before the 9th if people would go with Jim Johnson for the 9th or leave Tillman in.

I don't think so, he was at 110 pitches maybe? Chris is a big strong kid, he can throw 120+ I believe anyway.

"Balmy" Tommy Hunter.

Tommy "Throwin' Strikes" Hunter.

[SteveO]

Can you imagine what these forums would have been like if Buck left Tilly on and he blew the game?

Pick your poison, I suppose.

Very true. The issue is not so much going to your closer as it is the performance of the closer

Gee I hope they do an in depth postgame interview with the winning pitcher...should be fascinating to hear how he crafted this one

[WEAVERMAN]

Throw strikes TH, 2 down.
