Chris Tillman

(7-1)

3.33 (1.18/.215)

66/29 (9HR)

QS: 6

</b></b>

After a strong start to the season, Tillman has allowed nine runs and six home runs over the last two starts and has struggled more with his control than he has already this season. His velocity has also been down again, so hopefully, a bounceback is on the horizon. Tillman has not done well against the Royals at all in seven starts, but he is still undefeated in eight home starts this season.

Edinson Volquez

(5-5)

4.03 (1.41/.266)

59/27 (8HR)

QS: 6

Volquez finished April with a solid 3.34 ERA, but followed that up with a 4.06 in May and hasn't got off to a good start in June allowing five runs in 6.1 innings against Cleveland. Volquez allowed three runs or less in four of six May starts, so he hasn't been terrible by any stretch. He has not allowed more than three runs in back to back starts all season and is in danger of doing that in this start if he doesn't pitch well.

Career vs Baltimore (4 starts)

(0-2) 5.40 (1.75/.296), 3HR, 11B in 20 IP

vs. Batter

Pedro Alvarez 0/9, 4BB, 5K

Adam Jones 4/9, 2HR, 3RBI

Matt Wieters 2/4, 2 2B, BB

Mark Trumbo 2/3

Manny Machado 0/3

Chris Davis 1/3, 2K

The Orioles hit Ventura hard in the first two innings to go up 5-0 early and the Royals blew scoring opportunities every inning against Jimenez who was the same as usual only he's facing a team that can't seem to score more than a run a game lately. Ventura then drills Machado in the fifth after pitching him inside the previous AB causing a bench clearing brawl on the mound which leads to the ejections of Machado and Ventura. The Orioles then poured it on with home runs to blow KC out in game two.

Volquez has yet to throw two bad starts in a row all season and he is coming off a bad start here and Tillman has looked more like his 2015 version here lately and will try to shake out of that here against a struggling Royals team.

Boston is still playing their game in SF and are down 3-2 in the bottom of the fifth. If they lose, they will fall 1.5 games behind the Orioles who are stomping the offensively challenged Royals into the ground. Detroit beat Toronto in extras today and have pulled into second place in the Central tied with KC three games behind Cleveland. The Tigers have won five in a row and Cleveland six, but the Indians are losing 6-0 to Seattle in the fifth inning. Also, the Nats are up 10-5 against the White Sox heading into the ninth.

Any idea who is going to start game one of the Toronto series against Stroman? It's all TBA's that I can find.

Probably someone who averaged 5 runs a a game or better over their last four starts like the StroShow.

It's going to be Wilson, right?
No idea. On MLB.com, all probable starters for the Orioles are TBA. Toronto will be starting Stroman, Estrada, Happ and Sanchez against us.

It's not Wandy.

    • You always need shuttle guys. Ideally, I would think they’d like to have 2-3 spots they can interchange between 5-6 guys. That allows them to maybe get some younger arms in there, like McDermott and the others we mentioned already.  Bautista, if he is back to his old form, Seranthony, Cano, Soto (who I think may just surprise some people), while Cionel and Akin are not sure things. Either could be moved. They should make some moves there, IMO. Cionel has not really improved as much as I had hoped. Akin has had a very good year. Are they ARB eligible this year?
    • You’re the one who threw Ripken into the discussion.  And I don’t think anyone is necessarily saying that Gunnar will be as good as Ripken.  Cal is 3rd all time in Total Zone Runs for a SS.  But, Cal also proves that you don’t judge a SS solely on how many errors they make.  The years that Cal made 26, 25 and 25 errors, he was +11, +23, +O Rtot.  And  Gunnar is playing a solid SS now by the advanced metrics.  
    • Coby's problem is not the SSS at bats, but rather his sample size on defense, both minors and majors. He has no position at this point in his career. He's a DH and not in the lineup today because AS is Dhing. Eloy is on the bench as well. Both are PH options so stay ready. 
    • I do not know if there were extenuating circumstances or not.  Could be it's a quieter locker room without the rest of the guys, which would make sense in a concussion situation.  So, maybe I did rush to an unfair conclusion here.  At the time, I felt like it more of a "spring training look" when the starters all leave the field after they're done playing.....so yes, there could be other very reasonable explanations. I'll stand corrected, and retract my conclusion.
    • Message to Coby.....you better learn how to use a glove.
    • Totally agree.  And at no point will some people be able to admit that the shiny, new rookie may be overmatched, and putting him just because hangouters want him in there may not be the best move for team chemistry or results  People need to earn their way when given a chance, and with where we are in the standings, leashes are going to be short.  We're not the White Sox who can afford to play anyone they want because it doesn't matter.
