Tillman is Back

[weams]

His arm is "cramping" and he is going to be a free agent.

Shows he's healthy?   Does anyone actually buy that?   Tillman will never be the old Tillman again.  He's toast.  Doesn't mean he won't resemble a ML pitcher at times.

Again you are correct.

At times I feel sorry for Tillman that he's lost it just as he's hitting free agency.    Then I remember that he's already made about $22.5 mm for playing a game.    I do hope he's able to overcome his issues and be productive for a few more years, regardless of where he pitches.    He contributed a lot to our 2012-16 teams.

Indeed. All of that. He is one heck of a nice fellow.

1-2 FBs down the middle are causing me a great deal of pain.

I'm just sick of the non-competitive outings. At least with Ubaldo he has a chance of making a good start each time out. 

I'm fine with going to a six-man rotation but rather do it without Tillman.  I'll take Aquino or Wright or any other warm body.  We've all seen enough of this guy in 2017.

Tillman is the worst pitcher in baseball.

Not hyperbole. The numbers back it up.

Even being the beneficiary of a triple play couldn't help Tillman tonight.

It's just sad. The knuckle curve is gone. The change up is 86. I really thought it was injury, but the Velo wasn't atrocious tonight. Maybe a trip to the bullpen will help sort him out. Sad note to end a solid Oriole career

He had no business starting tonight. We are in a playoff race.
