Tillman reminds of Gallardo. Just hope you can get 5 plus and 2 runs or less out of him.

That's what I was expecting this year.

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.

He is going to have to learn how to pitch all over again basically. Learning on the job.

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.

I didn't say that he was pitching well.

Getting through 3 innings with 0 runs and 4 innings with 1 run is considerably different than his usual recent results.

We have got the lesser model.

I'll agree with that.

That's how I see it. More of a junk baller. Which if he has the curve and change, isn't the worst thing.

I'd still rather have Tillman. We got a steal in Seth Smith too.

May want to try to use the whole field when a guy has good command, just a thought.

Hard to get that out of Gallardo.

A far cry from beginning of last year tho. Which definitely sucks. 

[O's84]

That's a start.

Prior to last year.....

Schoop has become a better hitter than Manny. Who would have thought?

Bet Matt Davidson does nothing against everybody else.Theres always one player who hits us like a drum in one series...and does nothing against everyone else...

That's not true. Davidson has been slugging at or above .500 most of the year as well as OPS'ing above .800 despite a terrible OBP. Guy can mash.
