tilly for 16

[tedman2012]

tilly should be 18 wins at the very least already . he should get 6 more starts 3 8 13 18 23 28 so he has a long shot for 20 wins

 

[NJBuckO's]

Should they somehow squeak into the WC game I'd want Norris or Tillman, I'd be nervous with MG or Chen.

 

[tedman2012]

no matter the starter the bp will be up in the first

 

[Trevler]

Tillman has been really good since the AS break. He would be my top choice. Norris has been pretty solid also.

only one been better since his call up last year is the tiger schers sp

 

[tedman2012]

angels and ray 1-1 after 1 go angels

 

[tedman2012]

well we are 2 games from the wildcard with our ace going today . go o's !!!! pretty sure gonzo with britton for a back up on game 3 . buck loves rhp then lhp or lhp and rhp .

 

[Youngfan9886]

91 wins would have won the wild card last year. So assuming we need that to get a spot...we will have to go 18-8. Basically we need to sweep Cle and Chi because I don't see us winning more than 12 over the last 20 and even that would require us winning every 3 game series and splitting every 4 game series.

 

[Youngfan9886]

Tillman could really help us out if he gets to 20 wins....

 

[tedman2012]

it seems tampa s young guys have hit the wall . let's hope anyway but then again chen and gonzo has hit the wall it seems . be huge if britton stands up and takes a spot . oh by the way the os added an injured pitcher on the last day so they could add an extra pitcher plus they don't have to carry tj .

 

[tedman2012]

brob , manny , davis , aj , matt , morse dh , nick , jj and nate

 

[calfan810]

I dont care whose pitching...we traded for morse I DONT WANT TO SEE ANYBODY BUT MORSE IN THE DH SPOT FOR THE REST OF THE YR, unless we r mathematically eliminated

Agreed with your choice-- as I've mentioned in another thread, the relative ranking of our 5 starters right now (based on second-half ERA and WHIP) is Tillman - Feldman - Norris - Chen - Gonzalez.

In the event that we get beyond the Wild Card game, though, it's theoretically possible improve the team's chances for a postseason series by adjusting the starting pitcher match-ups. The idea is this: If the other team's rotation order is known, you could use your #4 starter to face the other team's ace so that you could have favorable match-ups three-fourths of the time (i.e. #1 vs. #2, #2 vs. #3, and #3 vs. #4).

Assuming that (a) there are no upsets, (b) no one pitches on short rest, and (c) your team's offenses and bullpens are roughly equal to or better than that of the opponent (which is admittedly a big question mark), this strategy would almost guarantee winning a 5-game series in 4 games (L-W-W-W) or winning a 7-game series in 6 games (L-W-W-W-L-W).
