8/8 Baltimore's Tillman @ Toronto's Cecil

[Great 2BA FL Gator]

that wasn't that bad of a pitch. Great play by adam

It doesn't seem like the ump is watching Tillman's curve all the way through.

We've only got 4 decent bats in this lineup today.:angryfire:

Trembley's fault that Roberts fouled one off his foot? Trembleys fault we're playing on artificial turf and Mora has more experience and superior defense than Wiggy in this situation?

I think not on both accounts.

Nice catch from Jones.

I know I'm late to the thread, so I didn't read through it

But how can Buck not notice the radar gun is broken? Last night Jim Johnson was coming in at 86/88. Both starters fastballs are showing mid 80s.

To his credit - Tillman is consistantly at 91 today. I think he was right around 93 in his last start and gearing it up to 95-96. He has only hit 94 a couple of times today. It seems like a nit-pick, but the dif between a 93-and a 96 mph fastball is huge, and possibly worth noting.

They both settle in on a thought and beat it into the ground. BTW Thorne has not given us our usual 10 minutes on the Yankees and the Red Sox.

Tillman settling in.

I think the frequency with which he throws his changeup has affected their ability to jump on his fastball.

Definitely looks that way. Except Vernon crushed that one.

I get your point but Buck specifically quoted the FB speed of the radar gone. "Tillman's fastball is still down in the mid 80's"

He still hasn't figured it out. I think Tillman would be getting rocked if he were that off, and Trembly would be like wtf and pull him.

[Three RBI Homer]

Speaking of cooperstown, I highly recommend anybody on this board to visit there at least once in your lifetime. One of the best experiences I've ever had.

[Mike B]

I feel confident I can go 7 for 52 starting tomorrow.

Really??? If you go 0 for the first 3, I am starting a thread suggesting we send you down and bring up Victor Diaz.

[Hank Scorpio]

Nice play by Cecil, but Andino was definitely safe.

Heads up play from Andino!

[Mike B]

Nice play by both sides.

[Great 2BA FL Gator]

I like it Andino, I like it.

[bce086]

YES Andino, I love to see that. Great bunt there. :clap3::clap3:
