I agree with pretty much everything in
this Tom Verducci piece. But I was struck, while watching last night's game, by some numbers thrown out there by Gary Thorne: Baltimore is
20-7 in games that Chris Tillman starts. They're currently
71-61 on the season. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that they need better starters to complement Tillman. Or Buck and Dan need to figure out how to clone him and run four more copies of him out there. They'd be
98-34 right now if they had a whole year of an all-Tillman staff! That's how stats work, right?
