Tillman is Back

I used to think they were more prone to allowing runs immediately after I turned on games and then I realized they could allow them when I turned them off as well.

I have the same problem after receiving those notifications on AtBat about no-hitters in progress. Every time I turn it on the poor slob inevitably loses his no-hit bid.

Lots of teams stick with a starter when his ERA gets over 8 after 15 starts. Right?

Sorry, he was serviceable at best. 10 runners in less than 6 innings.Still can't dominate and doesn't deserve a contract from the Orioles. But thats just my opinion.

I think the market will dictate the money and the years with interest from other teams next year, but I'd take a chance on him for a (very) cheap one year deal with hopes he figures it out in spring. I don't trust him in the rotation for the rest of this year, just spot starts to give Bundy and others rest. But if he was fudging about not being hurt, it could be that the offseason rest and a productive spring will have him in a better place as a pitcher.  I have trouble believing he's washed up already.

Looked like make-a-wish weekend on the mound in Baltimore.

Have to admit, when he got through 5 having only allowed 2 runs I was wondering if Buck should pull him before his fortunes turned.

Buck prefers to leave no doubt.

This would be one of my main criticisms of Buck during his tenure in Baltimore. It happened with Chen, Gonzalez, and various others from time to time. 

Taking Tillman out after the 5th would have given him some confidence even though he struggled w command throughout. Not only that, but he had spent the past two weeks in the BP and 5 IP was a better expectation of what he was capable of safely performing. 

On a day when he walked six hitters, I would have gladly taken two runs over 5 IP.

Tillman is the worst pitcher in baseball.  He needs to be released.

It was tough watching Chris yesterday.  No walks but he ran the counts up there and the amount of "balls out of his hand" seemed high as usual.  He wasn't awful but tedious and painful.  The HBP on Castro was embarrassing.  IDK any more.  He's hurting.
