I'm not knocking him at all. David Price is a workhorse, he's at 226 IP already, there are 15 pitchers in baseball with more IP than Tillman. He's the best we got, but he's not on the same level as the "real" workhorses. We see it time and again, he's basically a 6IP 100+ P pitcher. I like him just fine, but he's not a legit workhorse. Those guys get into the 7th 8th innings with regularity, when Tillman does, it's nice.

I don't know how he can fix it, but Tillman's bane is really the foul balls. It seems like he has so many extended ABs because guys just seem to foul off so many of his FBs. Just elevates his pitch count so much. I think part of the reason he has long innings early in the game is not great command yet and primarily throwing FBs.
