July 29 - KC vs Tillman & the O's

[UMDTerrapins]

I certainly would like to see his next start throwing to Wieters.

Alright I've gotta say it. The commercial about the upcoming Tiger's series where they talk about the Orioles pitchers holding Cabrera to a whatever BA this season is a tad on the shady side. For crying out loud we've only played the Tigers in 1 series this year.

[Hank Scorpio]

You gotta be friggin' kidding me.

3 through 3 innings. And he's 21 so he's got a lot more time to develop his secondary stuff. I wouldn't make much of his first start whether it be good or bad. It's one game.

Had a 3 up 3 down in 1st inning. 2 in 2nd inning, 1 in 3rd inning = 3 in 2 innings.

I'm not saying I'm doubting him, but he needs to get the jitters out of his system, and control that curve.

What happened?

This is likely to be Tillman's last inning. He'll probably be over 90 pitches by the end of the 5th. Major league debut, rain delay, I suspect it will be enough.

And we were wearing Speedo's instead of the new suits back then.....the statistical baseline is totally unreliable.

Gotta love it when strike 3 is called a ball and our kid then walks the guy.

This ump is horrid.

[Hank Scorpio]

That should have been a K.

This ump really should be kicked in the rear end.

[Mooreisbetter27]

What happened?

He's probably referring to strike 3 being called a ball. Then Tillman walked the guy.

[Hank Scorpio]

What happened?

Tillman struck out Mitch Maier on a 2-2 fastball and the ump inexplicably called it a ball.

Whatev.

[UMDTerrapins]

Wiggy thought that was the 3rd out.

[Mooreisbetter27]

At least we got the DP there.

[Hank Scorpio]

Tillman's velocity is still very good after 85 pitches. (94mph)

Yeah I wasn't paying enough attention but I figured it out.
