This is why you leave pitchers down on the farm for too long

Especially if you’re the Orioles.

There should be no doubt about a pitcher’s readiness when the major league club hasn’t been close to contention for over a decade.

Tillman is still very, very young

And was working on his control up until his very last start in Norfolk.

My quibble is more with the Matusz decision, but I think the promotion of Chris was a bit premature as well.

I don't know

He’d gotten his walks down quite a bit before being called up (besides that last start).

As for Matusz, I understand the apprehension. The quote from Goldstein made me feel a little better, though.

Nice deception on the three changes to CG - bad location though.

Also if you’re going to throw three changes in a row, at least put the 3rd one off the plate or something.

Great catch, Nick

Longoria vs. Guthrie: Who will own it? I think we all know the answer to that and it doesn’t look good for the Orioles.

I know it didn’t turn out well, but if you get a first pitch fastball in a hittable spot against JV you have to do something with it.
