Importance of Tillman

[JayThomas]

I know ... wins & losses ... only so much you can read in ... but this number really jumped out at me tonight.

We are celebrating in the Hi Water Mark thread about being 17 games over as a team.

We are 14 games over .500 in Chris Tillman's games.

Think about that. In games started by anyone not named Chris Tillman we are essentially a .500 team.

I know that this is nuanced ... and I'm in general not a big Chris Tillman guy ... but that is really remarkable.

If the rest of you starters can JUST KEEP US IN THE GAME long enough, we have a really good chance of winning it. Chris Tillman is not really an ace, in terms of stuff, but he keeps us in games like none of our other guys do.

My hat's off. Here's to you Chris. Go O's.

The number 1 reason I love Timan is I think he is his toughest critic and every post game interview if you didn't know he he did in the game listening to him you would think he went 5 innings and gave up 4 runs.

After coming up big yet again when the team desperately needed a stopper yesterday afternoon, Tillman's importance to this team is at an all-time high.
