July 29 - KC vs Tillman & the O's

[Crazysilver03]

This will be the last inning Tillman pitches tonight. Considering the circumstances, I'll give him a "C-". Three HR's in 4 2/3rd innings, three ER's, but a long rain delay, and a lot of warm-up pitches.

If we lose, it'll be because once AGAIN we couldn't hit with RISP when we had Greinke on the ropes.

How does this outing get a C-? 3 HRs suck but they were all solo shots.

[Hank Scorpio]

Anybody else want to punch the old Amstel Light guy in the face?

MAN the MASN commercials drive me nuts.

[Tony-OH]

I think Buck's right. He's tired.

Yeah, he looks gassed. Everything is up...

He's done... Not a good debut but oh well, lots of factors were not in his favor.

Nice to see the fans give him a nice ovation but really, he didn't throw very well. He actually had the worse debut of any of our rookie starters this year.

Things will get better for him, but for a team that needed a lift, he didn't provide it unfortunately...

[Great 2BA FL Gator]

Tillman definitely looks promising.

Agreed, I like what I see.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Uh oh... Tony's favorite commercial is on.

[IrishOriole]

Thorne cracks me up...

He just said, "slider outside" on a low 94-mph fastball. I really wonder what he's looking sometimes.

I had typed the same thing but decided against posting it. He must make 15 mistakes per game - I don't have that kind of time.

[Tony-OH]

What the hell, why would the Orioles think a girl with a Bird fetish would make a good commerical??

[SoBo]

He's 21... Could you imagine being 21 and pitching in the bigs? You can see the talent. And he looked pretty comfortable out there to me.

[IrishOriole]

What the hell, why would the Orioles think a girl with a Bird fetish would make a good commerical??

You're such a birdist.

[Mooreisbetter27]

I'd like to see B-Rob take 2nd here.

Anyone know what Greinkes pitch count is up to?

[mrbig1]

Let's see if Jones bunts here.

[Hank Scorpio]

Let's see if Jones bunts here.

The same Jones that hit a 2 run homer in the first inning?

[Why Not?]

MAN the MASN commercials drive me nuts.

My kids LOVE that commercial. They drop what they're doing and jump around whenever it comes on.

[IrishOriole]

The same Jones that hit a 2 run homer in the first inning?

He flashed it earlier.

Agreed, anyone who disagrees is drinking too much orange kool-aid. C- is not his pitching potential grade. It is his GAME grade. If Guthrie gave up 3 HRs in a combined 2 innings, he would be ripped apart, scoring a D-.
