Houston, we might have a problem. It’s tough to look Chris Tillman in the eye and “hold him accountable” for tonight’s 4-1 loss to Houston at Camden Yards. Tillman’s line: 7 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 5 K. Tillman lowered his ERA from over six coming in, to 5.59. However once again, he was failed by Baltimore Orioles’ bats.
It’s tough to pinpoint why the Orioles are struggling so much at the plate. They aren’t the most patient of teams, however they don’t hack, hack, and hack more, either. However it shouldn’t be lost on fans that every shift seems to work out for opposing teams, and as I said yesterday there are times when fielders nary have to move.
