Remember, Tillman ended the season very strong last year and he was in a hitters league.

Would really like to see Tillman ready to be in the rotation by around this time next year(give or take a few weeks).

I think that is a reasonable timetable. He needs to show the ability to consistently go deep into games.

However, his season so far is pretty remarkable for a 20 year old in AA.:)

Yep...This is the key...Putting him in our pen doesn't make much sense...I want to see him log innings.

I was at the game sitting right behind home plate, and Tillman looked wicked. After the first, his fastball was routinely hitting 92-94, and his curve was sitting mostly around 78.

Wieters's home-run was a monster shot into the woods in left-center. Riemold's double was also a solid line into left field.

Overall a great night for the Bowie prospects!

Since you were sitting behind home plate, did you notice that the Orioles GM Andy McPhail also sitting behind home plate.

It was a terrific game by Tillman and the Baysox. They got sloppy the last couple of innings and lost it but over all I was happy.

MacPhail was there. I was tempted to go talk with him but I got too shy. I'm 38 years old and couldnt bring my self to do it. He stayed for the whole game.

I saw MacPhail at Frederick earlier this season. At the end of the game, I decided to say a few words to him. He seemed like a very nice guy.

WOW!! No I didn't

Was he directly behind, more to the baysox side, or more to the binghamton side? I was slighty towards the binghamton side in section 106.

You must not of told him(MacPhal) about Montanez previous 3200 AB's!:D

I'll give you credit, that was a good one.:D I'm pretty sure McPhail is perfectly aware of his minor league track record.

I just told him how much I liked the direction of the team, and stuff like that.

Directly. Sitting next to a young boy I assume his son or something.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.;) I know deep down we both want Lou too have success with the Orioles. As well we want all our prospects to have success. Reimold we have his turn and it could be real soon. I know it's all about the success of our parent club, but I really feel sorry for Bowie as they battle for a playoff spot. I guess as long as they don't touch the pitching they'll have a chance, but then again with Bergesen and Hernandez waiting in the wings it might never happen.

I went to the game today. MacPhail was there again all day. After an amazing comeback by the BaySox. (Down 8-2) . We won on a walk off homerun. Winning 9-8.

I went up to MacPhail and shook his hand and told him he was doing a great job. He said thanks. LOL. I did it!

      The great news is no one running the Orioles cares what you or I think should be scrutinized or not.  I choose to be happy with the winning results and happy we have the Reigning Manager and Executive of the Year.   You can continue to take shots at Hyde and Elias all you want.  You will be on ignore from me going forward.

      Super scary.  A 17y/o in Gainesville FL lost his life last December from being hit with a swing. A teammate was swinging inside a batting cage and the bat caught him.  I think folks that have been around the game a lot have seen and heard of similar situations and understand the gravity.  I heard it on the radio and my heart sunk.  I really hope Mateo is OK and it doesn’t turn out to be serious.

      Mounty has gotten more patient, but he doesn't seem like the kind of hitter that changes his approach much depending on the situation.  But it's hard to question anyone's approach the day after hitting two homers.

      His xSLG is 70 points higher than it actually is, his OBP is still .330, and Fangraphs has him as the 2nd most valuable OF’er defensively in the MLB.  Unlike Mullins, his expected stats are still strong and show that he’s just been hitting into bad luck.

      Kind of a poor reason, because in making it, you’re suggesting that as long as we are winning, no decision needs to be scrutinized, which is obviously not true. And it also ignores defending Hyde’s decision to leave Tate in.  I don’t mind letting Tate start the inning, because he started the inning at only 8 pitches. But I do mind not yanking him immediately after letting the first guy on.  in twelve pitches he gave up single single double. I do not remember whether Coloumbe was warmed up at the beginning of the end or didn’t get up until after the start of the inning, but he should have been ready. If he wasn’t, that’s another mistake, even in foresight. The very least you have to do is have your next reliever ready, especially if you know you’re going to use him anyway. Only once has Tate gone more than one inning and only once did he throw more than 16 pitches.   Hydes use of the bullpen is frequently questionable not just after the fact but before the fact.  I appreciate the fact he didn’t want to use Vieira, and having him isn’t Hyde’s choice, as far as we know. But he still should have gone to Coloumbe sooner.  It’s really difficult to point to a single thing that causes a lost game, but this is arguably one of them. hopefully tomorrow we will have fresh shiny faces in the pen because we’re going to need them.
