Tillmans thoughts on today

It was good," he said. "I think it was more of going out and getting the adrenaline flowing at the beginning and the nerves flowing more than anything else. I felt good about myself. Just wanted to work on fastball command today and for the most part it was good.

"I threw changeups and curveballs. Not as many as I would have, but my goal was to go out there and get the fastball command first. And kind of went off that."

"I think this early in spring, it doesn't really matter who you face," he said. "It's just going out there and getting the feel again. We face our own hitters the first two weeks and it isn't the same feel, so it was good to get the juices flowing again."

Stuff like this has me so psyched for this team this year.

That's just filthy.

That's just filthy.

The problem is there is no deception with that type of spread. Yes it could very well upset the batters timing but they should have no problems seeing which of the two pitches it is. If I was attempting to hit off of him I would pick one of the two pitches and take the other until I had two strikes.

Yeah, that's true. You and your logic, Corn! (shaking my fist)

    • Bradley has pretty distinct splits. I think we throw all the LH bats at him tonight: (If Westburg is ready) Gunnar - SS Adley - C O'Hearn - 1B Santander - RF Cowser - LF Westburg - 3B Stowers - DH Mateo - 2B Mullins - CF
    • I don’t want to trade a promising pitcher. We’ve got plenty of position guys, they can get pitching somewhere else.
    • Scott has improved of late, but he’s still walking 7 guys per nine, he has a 1.4 WHIP, and is completely infuriating. When he was here he drove everybody nuts, and when the Marlins traded for him, I knew there was something seriously wrong with that braintrust. Im backing off of Miller, I think he’s coming to earth, and is always close to a TJ vacation, but Scott isn’t the answer at all.
    • The point wasn’t who was better between Irvin or Grayson, it was that if there is even a discussion, Grayson can’t be considered part of a “Big 3”.  After his performance in the playoffs last year and his lack of command so far this season, he needs to show a decent amount of improvement to be looked at that way.
    • https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/grayson-rodriguez-680570?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/cole-irvin-608344?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb Grayson has a higher ceiling than Cole, I think almost anyone would argue, yes.  But even if we're strictly looking at numbers, despite Grayson's uneven start, he is still statistically better than Cole in a handful of areas (mainly whiff rate, K rate, xBA, xERA).
    • Given his success here and perhaps lack of strong interest elsewhere, I wouldn't be surprised if Lopez would be OK with a minor league deal here.
    • Lots of stats say Irvin hasn’t been better this year. Grayson has had a few rough starts around his injury…he’s been excellent otherwise and has been excellent since he got re-called last year. Irvin is pitching very well but he’s not a sub 3 ERA guy.  He may be a sub 4 ERA guy though.
