This is your problem, you're such a homer. I'm totally willing to talk baseball with you, but you're such a condescending little fuckwad about your home team. Get a fucking life.
The Orioles rotation is not that bad even when compared to the Jays.
Tillman and Happ are basically equal. Sure Estrada and Sanchez are better than Gausman and Gallardo now but when Sanchez goes to the bullpen and it's Estrada and Liriano it's a little less lopsided unless Liriano turns around with Martin as his catcher a la their time in Pittsburgh. Then you have Miley and Bundy vs Stroman and Rickey which I will call a wash

The Orioles had a sub .500 July on account of their offense going stone cold as they only scored more than 5 runs 3 times (6 runs each time) and not between July 7th and July 30th. The pitching was good enough to win games if they were scoring runs as even over that 3 week stretch they still managed to go 9-10.
