His command is spotty at best today. Two HRs already.

Yeah, the 2nd HR was a hanging CH to Pillar and he really had no business even throwing the pitch to him because in the 3rd he struck him out ( Tillman's only one of the game ) on all FBs.

The 2-2 pitch to Travis before he hit the LD which Snider misplayed wasn't made and he was forced to come in with a FB on 3-2. This happened quite a bit.

Poor FB command and he had no secondary pitches working either. That makes for a tough day.

It was obvious very early on that he didn't have it. Most of the outs and hits were fly balls, and that wasn't going to fly today with the wind blowing all over the place. Got 2 strikes on guys a couple of times but couldn't put them away. Didn't seem to have an out pitch.

Chris Tillman's advanced stats have never been that good. I'm concerned that he's more of a #4 starter going forward than the ace this team needs.

Today in particular he was really fighting his command. Couldn't throw any pitches for strikes consistently.

Not very good. He has to get something consistently working besides that 91 mph fastball. It drives up his pitch count because you aren't going to quickly put hitters away with it' date=' and you can only go through a lineup so many times with it.[/quote']

I agree and his FB command hasn't been great. However, command of his secondary pitches is spotty at best. He was better today on the whole compared to the last time out, though, so I'll take some small improvement as opposed to none. He had a huge SO of Pedroia to get out of a jam in the 5th.

It's early so there's time for him to find the rest of his game.

My only concern is they were disappearing on him last year. His curve was not very good last year. I was hoping it would come back this year. I expect his fastball command to come back, I would be shocked if it didn't. But based on last year, I'm pessimistic about the others. He just doesn't seem to have a good feel for them, and hasn't in a while.

It was a terrible day to pitch.

I'll take him holding down the hottest offense to one run.

Absolutely. I'll take that.

He did get some nice defensive support from De Aza along the way, but like I said he came up with a big out himself vs Pedroia. And 5 SO in a little over 5 innings is a good ratio. His numbers were better all around in the second half last year. So, if he can avoid the occasional meltdown we saw in the first half last year he should be fine.

      Cease vs everyone else

      By forphase1 · Posted

      Works for me,  as long as the first piece is a Norby type!  Only one of Ortiz/Westburg/Cowser/Kjerstad should be traded for Cease.  Let them pick one of them and a couple in the 8-15 range then a lottery pick or two if needed.  But giving up 2 of those is to pricy for the return.  I like Cease, but personally value him as a very solid #3 starter.  Sure, he COULD perform better than that,  but I wouldn't bet on it.  Maybe he reverts back to his 2022 form, but I think it more likely that what we get is what we saw from him in 2023, with an improvement in numbers due to the defense behind him.

      Exited about this kid and the future of our international signings. We have to remember the initial reporting don’t mean a whole lot. We’ve had success in the 100-500 k range too.

      Downtown restaurants should like this too.  Much better for any local entertainment venues.

      Cease vs everyone else

      By Number5 · Posted

      Cease is a solid MLB starting pitcher with 2 years of control  who's team has clearly made it known that he's available.  Of course there is a lot of interest.  There is a lot of interest in the Orioles' prospects, as well.  Fans of both teams are hopeful that their team will get maximum value for their assets in any trade.  I'm sure that it is sometimes difficult for GMs to reach a meeting of the minds on a player's value, in which case they need to work out a restructure of the discussed deal that may not include that player.  I think Elias' opinion on Ortiz is likely to be pretty close to what posters on this site are telling you.  If the White Sox GM views Ortiz as you do, it would seem that a deal between the two teams would most likely not have Ortiz included.  I'm sure that isn't all that unusual and the GMs just turn the page and look at working out a trade involving other players/prospects.  What confuses me is that you seem to rate Ortiz lower than we do and lower than the various sites rate him, but would like a trade of Cease for Cowser and Ortiz.  I'm against that deal because I think 2 prospects rated that highly would be an overpay.  It seems to me, you agree.  You simply rate Ortiz lower.  Seems to me that the answer in such an impasse that would make both parties happy would be to replace Ortiz with another prospect that is lower rated than Ortiz -- which would be of equal value in your mind, since you rate Ortiz lower and still think the proposed trade is a fair one.  Make sense?  Maybe replace Ortiz with Norby.

      100% agree with you.  Especially when you haves waves of prospects coming up behind these guys.
