Just heard this on the radio - the Orioles still lead the majors in batting average with RISP with .30-something.

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?  I don't believe it.  This team does not  hit .300 with RISP

The only thing I can think of to back up that number is that the Orioles don't get runners into scoring position very often and the law of averages hasn't fully kicked in.  Give it time.

Even the home plate umpire is feeling sorry for Tillman.

Terrible pitch again.  

Number 1 pitcher had arm issues DD criticized medical staff and then Britton has issues and we rush him back 16-8.

Better stuff right now, Tillman or Wilson?

Maybe they can convert Davis to a pitcher and get some beneficial use out of his contract.  He does have one win to his credit, doesn't he?

[eddie83]

Meatball again to Judge. He has nothing. 

[eddie83]

Ball is never down in zone. Up with nothing on it. Zero life.

Tillman ain't right.  I think if it wasn't his walk year he would have had surgery by now.

Get him out of the game and back to the DL Buck

Geez, that really is amazing, becasue Chris is a very big guy!

[eddie83]

Who is the long man tonight? Janish?

The Orioles should not touch this guy with a 10 ft pole after the season, and I feel bad about that.

It shouldn't even be a topic, discussing resigning Tillman.  But I'm sure there will be articles written anyway.

Get the feeling Duquette has lost control of this organization?

No, not at all. He was upset over Chris.

I think for some dumb reason they let Britton talk them into bringing him back. The fast start should of had the opposite effect.

Tillman reminds me of Russ Ortiz. Even when he's pitching well, it's not very fun to watch. His pitch count's always high and games seem to take forever whenever he's on the mound.

All depends on contact and how he is at end of year. Doesn't look good now.

Looks like a guy that probably needed shoulder surgery but was heading into his FA season.  

Plus there was that whole mix up with his rehab and him not checking in like he was supposed to.  His agent was probably trying to hide the severity of the injury and sucker us into a long term deal.  Shenanigans definitely happened.
