But the thing is Ubaldo only threw 26 pitches on Sunday. That's basically the equivalent of a regular two inning outing. He should be pretty fresh.

That's a one inning outing for Ubaldo [emoji28]

101 pitches for Tillman

With the big lead the Orioles have, should they put in Ubaldo and let him pitch the last three innings?

He did that on 9 days' rest.

He is on 3 days' rest right now.

While I don't necessarily think that he should get 9 days' rest in between games, perhaps he should get at least 4 or 5 ...... even if he is only pitching 3 innings at a time.

I know, but still ...... considering the fact that (outside of a handful of games) he has been absolutely horrible this season, I'd rather they baby him as much as possible ...... especially since his last 2 outings (a 5-inning start on July 28th, and a 3-inning bullpen stint on August 7th) have been good.

I think that his confidence may just beginning to be getting restored. If he is going to be doing long stints out of the bullpen, I'd like to see him get at least 4 or 5 days' rest in between outings, similar to what they did with Bundy earlier this season.

Tilly continues the run of good starting pitching.

Can someone tell me what is so great about Andrusek? Every time he comes in he gives up runs.

After he gives up a run he seems to settle down.

Didn't he look pretty good in Toronto?

He's also not needed on this roster. They need to DFA him for a competent left-handed reliever.

Where would you recommend they find one?

I for one am shocked a guy kicked off his NPB team isn't a nugget.

I think they are hoping to nurse him through Sept. 1 when rosters expand, so they don't have to burn his option in 2016.
