Glad chris is getting the start. He's been the go to for the team for awhile now and he's who you live and die with

Bundy and Kevin showed up to me and I definitely did not expect trumbo to lead the league in homers 

expected Britton to be great but he still exceeded expectations obviously 

 

good season overall regardless playoff outcome considering our starting rotation throughout the year 

Yeah a lot came together for us this year. Kim has really blown up compared to expectations on opening day as well.

Marcus Stroman for the Jays. 

That's awesome

I hate the decision. Other than just being bad in his last 15 starts (especially bad in his last seven), he has a 9.99 ERA, giving up 37 runs in just over 33 innings pitched, in his last seven games in Toronto. He's literally not even pitching five innings on average in his last seven games there. He owns a 2-4 record in those seven starts.

He was much better this season in his two starts (2.85 ERA), but with how he's pitched lately and his history, I don't trust that'll hold. His WHIP and BA were pretty high.

I hoped Baldy would get the nod, but maybe Tillman has monster in his pocket. He's certainly capable if he's on.   Jimenez can open up against the Texans.  :-)

Interesting stat from the Orioles special on MASN earlier tonight: the Orioles have the most wins in the AL over the last 5 years-444.

[OriolesMagicPlease]

I'm okay with Tillman starting, despite his recent troubles. I just hope Buck has a very quick hook if he looks like he doesn't have it.

They have Bundy and Ubaldo out of the pen tonight, so I imagine they'll be ready to make a move quickly if things aren't going well.

Does anyone know how the Orioles stack up against the Jays starting pitcher tonight? I was wondering if it is a good match-up for us.

I missed that, thanks for posting.

Stroman is garbage this season and I believe the O's have already roughed him up. You guys have a good shot. I'm hoping the giants even year bs comes to an end.

I really wish I had that channel. I am going to have to do the computer thing tonight because 5am comes too early for me to hit a bar.

Fun to have Machado, Davis, and Weiters back in the postseason again after all 3 missed in 2014.

[cobrajet]

Tied 2-2 Let's go O's!!!!!!!

[rmw10]

Givens' stuff was so dirty tonight.

[BmoreBird22]

Not the least bit surprised that Tillman didn't last five full innings, but very glad Buck had the gonads to pull him before it was too late.

[rmw10]

Givens slayed tonight.  Big moment for Donnie Hart though.

[52520Andrew]

Stay classy Toronto

[codizzle]

Keep swinging Adam 

[Tank 92]

Tight game. First mistake loses.

I agree, I hope it is the Jays that make that mistake! Go O's!!!

 just woke up, how's the game going?

[codizzle]

Sigh

[arnie_uk]

Why cant they remove the ump and just computerise that strike zone. That call was the difference between first Base and end of inning there

[Tank 92]

Where's Britton?
