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.

Splits & Sits

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.

      How "fired up" are you with this Yankee series?

      By Orioles West · Posted

      It’s O’s and Yanks. Good guys versus bad guys. Baby Birds up against the Evil Empire — and another trip to the post-season is in the cards. I’ve been cheering for the O’s and very specifically against the Yanks going on six decades, and I’m getting good at it. So, yeah. I’m fired up. Now ask me about hopes and dreams. I don’t think this Orioles team is going to make a run to WS this year.  They have scuffled, they have failed — but I’m reminded, even in the platinum age of data — baseball is still a game of failure.  And man, runners in scoring position over the last week, I’m not sure I want to know that number. They’re still my guys. As long as they’re in it, so am I.

      Let's go Tampa! Actually, I'm fired up for the offseason.

      By now · Posted

      Not fired up, per se, but engaged in the ramp-up to playoff baseball. On one hand, it's like the spring training phase of gearing up for playoffs. On the other hand, it's like the playoffs have already begun. We're qualified for round 1, which consists of the next 6 games. Even watching the other teams play now is entertaining, as they jostle for entry to the next round.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      By Orange · Posted

      I really think that Westburg is the difference maker for us. I don't know why, but the offense just doesn't run right without him... like an engine that needs a tune up. I'm glad he's back with a week to go in the regular season.

      I need to be a better fan

      By interloper · Posted

      Don't be too hard on yourself OP. We've all been there. For me, I usually hit a frustration point mid-late season and then start to just accept things. Baseball is a very weird, very inscrutable game sometimes. I've driven myself a bit nuts this season with the Adley thing because it's one of those baseball things that just doesn't make a lot of sense. Same with the pitching injuries.  Each season is a little narrative. This one will be the year we had a bunch of injuries, the year of the RISP regression, the year of the rookie struggles, the year of the questionable Elias trades, the year we couldn't follow up on the 100-win season, etc. And yet - it will be a playoff year. And that's the only goal of every regular season: make the playoffs. Hopefully our playoff narrative will change this time around.

      I’m fired up for sure. We are finally full strength offensively and this stretch of games will be a great way for this team to gel down the stretch. The AL East is still attainable so let’s kick ass from here and see where we land!

      Westburg is back. Everything is fine now. Enjoy the championship run.
