Tillman is throwing more strikes, but still wild in the zone. He has gotten away with a LOT of center cut fastballs in this game that were getting hammered by the Yankees. White Sox hitters are either swinging through them or just missing making home run contact. Davidson got one with two strikes in his first AB, but didn't miss it this time.

The same old story would have the White Sox with 6 or 7 runs on the board, and Tilman already out of the game.

Maybe in the stat line, but Tillman is nibbling, not making good pitches, averaging 20 pitches an inning and has gotten lucky with at least 4-5 loud outs. Oh and his velocity is down as the game goes on.

Remember when he used to tick up as the game went along?

Yeah, that's what is alarming to me. He'd usually start a game at 89-91 and then get up to around 93-94. That's not the case any longer.

That said, Tillman has allowed 8 hits in < 4 IP. That's same ole to me. Let's see if he can get out of this.

Yup, control vs command.

    • I know this isn’t the question that you asked, but my recollection is that you worked on the business side for the Orioles at some point, so I think you might be able to weigh in on this idea: do you think there are business reasons to extend a Gunnar or an Adley? I know you’re view is generally that extensions are overrated by the fanbase, but that largely seems related to the idea that you are paying for past-peak years (if I’m off base here, it wasn’t intentional—just my recollection). I tend to think that from a business standpoint, an extension for a young player would not make a material difference concerning the amount of tickets sold, revenue generated, etc. and would really just make some people on X happy, but I don’t really have anything to support that opinion.
    • The way he is pitching that's like throwing gas on a fire.
    • I don't think Elias will seriously entertain bringing back Santander.
    • Left the game with 1 run in and 2 on ,2 outs in the 6th and Akin gave up both runs. Bad luck tonight in my opinion but I'm sure there are many on here will say he sucks and should be replaced. 
    • Yeah, we're kind of getting off track here since this is a Jackson Holliday thread, but I will say I don't see how Mountcastle gets traded -- and even if he did it would be to unblock Mayo and not Kjerstad.  Both Mounty and Mayo are righties, and it doesn't look like Mayo will play third base anytime soon.  I think two of the prospects need to get traded -- maybe in the offseason or next season -- unless Hays, O'Hearn or Mounty are dealt.  I think there's a chance the O's bring back Santander, but that's a big wildcard too.
    • I was in favor of trading one of Mountcastle/Hays/Santander after last year to make room for prospects like Kjerstad. I see the main issue with trading one of the above or O'Hearn is those players will deliver more value in an Orioles uniform over the return in any trade. I'm leaning towards Elias taking a calculated risk and creating at bats for Kjerstad.
