7/10 - O's @ Rangers (Game 3)

[ChrisAF79]

Keep Tillman in the 7th?

He'll definitely come out for the 7th, but it's going to be hard to justify leaving him in beyond that if his command continues to worsen.

[scOtt]

Well, Tillman has a no hitter through 6

Will Juan let him stay in, or take him out after the next inning because he has 89 pitches right now

Not too long (since you jinxxed him... ) 100 or so. Could be the several pitchers no-no.

[scOtt]

And WTH is up with pitchers this year? The Cincy guy went 8 1/3 perfect tonight.

[SammyBirdland]

Nice hustle by Lugo there.

[orioleman123]

I say keep Tillman in until he gives up a hit and then he can hit the showers

How long do you let that go though? 125 pitches? 140 pitches? At this rate, it's going to take about that many to get him through 9 innings.

[orioleman123]

Well Edwin Jackson threw 143 pitches in his no hitter

A lot less 'roids?

It would be beyond foolish and short-sighted if we let Tillman throw 143 pitches in this game.

[RoflDogs]

I think bout 115-118 pitches will get him through 9

I blame you for that.

[orioleman123]

Well, now i give him 115 pitches now

[OrioleMagic]

is it ok to post now?

Great job Chris!

[scOtt]

Damn. Still a GREAT outing by Tillman tonight. Just what the DR. ordered.

[Malike]

Someone had to mention it. Always the way.
