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 @ Camden Yards (1 start)

4.1 IP, 7H, 4ER, HR, 5BB

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.

    • Let’s be clear. He’s pitching like an ace THIS YEAR. this is his first year in mlb and he was considered a back end starter when he was signed.  No one rational would say a 2.5 month performance in your first year in MLB requires the number one prospect in baseball PLUS MORE! Respectfully it’s lunacy.
    • I’m not saying we can’t trade for Scott. Or that we shouldn’t trade for someone. More that we basically already have one reliever we don’t have to trade for. But a guy who will likely have a relatively high whip due to command issues but have a well above average k rate… I also just don’t love rentals in general. Hit or miss as to whether they perform well anyway (hey jack flaherty) and then it’s gone. If you don’t win that year it’s all for nothing. For the right cost I’m okay with it, but I don’t want to give up a major prospect for a rental unless it’s the piece that puts us over the top 
    • They are not in a rebuild. And I don't want to waste time imagining that the team is bad and trading our best young players. As a matter of fact, I hope we don't have to do that for years to come. I envision adding good players not how can we get rid of the good ones that we have. I have waited my whole life to finally have a team this good. I don't mind at all trading good prospects. And have no delusional expectations that we can get value without surrendering value. Nor am I in love with the notion that we have to have a cheap, homegrown team. As a matter of fact, I want and expect the org to spend much more money on payroll than it is doing currently. Lastly, what happened with Gausman is in the past and under a totally different administration (ownership + front office). We were selling then. We are buying now.
    • Is there a reason it should be? He’s still walking 5.5+ batters per 9. He’s still got things he can work on. No rush to get him up unless it’s as a reliever down the stretch or a spot start. 
    • I mean Tanner Scott at least has a Major League track record. How much do you think Scott will really cost? Also, we have more position players and prospects that we could ever use. I understand maybe not wanting Scott, but I don't understand the logic of not wanting surrender any prospects (even some good ones). We almost have to at some point. Otherwise, you have 25 year old top level prospects like Kjerstad, who is in his prime now and killing it at AAA but has no place on the Big League roster. Stowers is even older and has contributed relatively nothing to the Orioles and is now age 26.
