Glad he’s back. In related news, the Orioles are honoring Cal Jr tonight, and unveiling his statue at the park. Fitting that it’s in this season, when the O’s have some of that old magic back!

We’ll see, said the blind man to his deaf daughter.

The Yankees are due to kick the hell out of someone, and he’s as good as the next guy.

Gonzo has looked very very good for the most part, but if Baltimore makes it to October, I’d place a higher value on a power arm out of the bullpen, with possibley Hammel, Chen, Britton, and Tillman rounding out the playoff rotation.

I say you stick with Britton, Gonzo, Chen obviously. Tillman seems like the most logical, but still worth keeping in the BP for long relief siutations. Then again, Saunders has only had 2 outtings on opposite sides of the spectrum. Maybe give Tilly the rest, Saunders a shot, and if he struggles pop Tilly back in?

In Buck we trust.

Agreed and instead we are faced with the question of who gets pushed out?

Tillman has been very good, but he might get some time off with the elbow issue hes been having.

Saunders has pitched twice since the trade, first time he was awful, second time he was great. I’m guessing his next start against the Yanks will determine whether he moves to the pen or not.

With his injury, I thought the staff would struggle… glad to have him back.
