Enough is enough, Tillman does not need another start

I am beginning to believe that managment intends to bury Tillman deep in the pen for the rest of the 9season. They have no intentions of bringing him back for 2018, so why use him other than strictly for mop up? Please everyone show me that I am wrong and that management has more respect for Tilly's achievements than to just throw him out like an old rag.

I was wrong  about my above statement. Tillman got an appearance today. And Buck has indicated that Tillman may get a spot start next week.

He's throwing from a different angel it looks like and it's awful. Almost every pitch was a waste pitch, not close to being close to being close and all were fastballs. It shouldn't be possible to miss with a fb that badly, but at least he has 89-90mph in the tank. ? The Angels helped us early, Pujols swings at an awful pitch on 3-0 & no foul balls. Let's go Birds!

It is beyond maddening for me to watch Bridwell, Miranda, Davies, and others from this org have success while we continue to trot out expensive garbage on the mound.  Starting Tillman today is embarrassing.

Miranda has been awful minus the early start.  He has ERA over 6 in second half and over 6 away from home.  If he pitched at Camden yards with the his fly ball ratio he throws he would be awful here.

Brault, Hader, Bridwell, Miranda, Jake, Ed Rod would be better than the rotation we have.

The last thing I want the hear after this game is how Tillmans results were better and a trend in the right direction.  He was horrible today.  Not sure he ever threw the ball to where the glove was sitting.  There has to be something wrong with the guy.  I just don't know how he could lose that much command without trying to protect an injury.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      ???. Cowser took more swings against LF than any other LH hitter on the team ( not named  Henderson). He was one of the guys they did not platoon.

      Kevin Seitzer hitting coach?

      By Big O · Posted

      I think Kevin Seiyltzer was the fall guy for a team that thought they were a championship team.  This guy has overseen more a decade of hitting in Atlanta, has been through developing and helping young batters succeed when the league adjusts.  Most importantly, he has a ring!

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.
