Tillman's last chance as a starter is today against Cleveland. After he gets shelled again that's it...

Or maybe it's his second to last chance, or third, or forth...

 

 

He will be here for a few more months, at least. If Reimold made it all year, as a defensive replacement no less, then Tillman can pull this off.

~d is going to try to get him pitching today.

Asher isn't even in the Orioles organization anymore. At this point, anybody is better than Tillman. 

He's available.

4 runs in 6 innings is fine for the 5th spot. Tillman will probably get blasted for this loss too. But once again, the bats don't show up.

I think in the bullpen era, 5 IP and 2 ER might be a more on target way to think about a "quality" start, and he had that today.  I think if he ends up kind of sort of useful, it'll be as a five-and-dive guy (which we can afford with how the other guys are doing), but like in New York, it seems today the Ghost of Tillman Past led to him getting more opportunity than was probably optimal.

Was getting a beer at the Corona stand on Eutaw street today and a batted  ball whizzes by me.   No place is safe when Chris is pitching.

Those runs are by a team which hasn’t been hitting. Little better with command, but some of the misses are so bad that mechanically it tells me he’s off. Palmer touched on his landing point and I agree. I just don’t see the same guy who had success. 

[webbrick2010]

Today pitches to a 6.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, against a team that is really struggling offensively.... and I'm sure Buck has him penciled in for his next start.

With the stuff he has and had today does anyone believe he would get out of the first inning against the Red Sox?

[TouchemAll]

Tillman was lucky today and remember right now Cleveland has the worst team batting average in the league even worst then the O's.

[Chavez Ravine]

I fear this is what a very good  Tillman start might look like this year...and it was definitely luck/Cleveland aided. I think Cleveland batters inexplicably bunted at at least two pitches that would otherwise have been crushed somewhere. That thing Tilly calls a fastball ain’t working. Partly because he alternately throws it in the stands or in the middle of the plate.

[bpilktree67]

He was meh today.  He had little more control on his pitches and got lot more swing and misses then he has in his other starts, which is a good sign.  I actually saw some finish in some of his off speed pitch and had the curve looking like a strike and get batters to chase.  He still had some issues with the command on the fastball and not much movement.  As a fifth starter what he did today would be ok and he showed a bit of step forward so he should get another couple starts and it is not like we have ton of options.

Guess Bundys start last night was a mirage then? Since Cleveland isn't a major league offense.

I thought his curve looked good but his fastball was a dead fish.
