</b>

Really not much to say here. he's been awful unless the opposing team is a weak team like the Padres. It is possible he pitches well here just to try to redeem himself, but the Twins have been playing a lot better lately and should prove to be a tougher challenge than they were back in April. He does have very good numbers against the Twins and at Target Field, so there's always that.

51K / 25BB, 8HR

QS: 4

After a rough April (6.10) and missing all of May due to injury, he posted a 4.32 ERA in June and a 3.86 in July. He allowed four runs in five innings back in early April against the Orioles. Over the last six starts, Gibson has three sub-4 ERA starts and three starts of four runs allowed. Overall though, he has brought his ERA down from 6.49 over the last seven starts following a disastrous outing against the Nats followed by another bad one against Boston. In his last start, he threw a two hitter through eight innings against Boston with only a solo home run allowed.

Just like that, the Orioles drop two of three to the Rockies at home despite a perfect five innings for Bundy. He allowed two home runs in the sixth for three runs and that was all the Rockies needed behind an outstanding start from Jon Gray. The Rockies pitchers really took it to the Orioles, but fortunately, all other teams in the East except the Rays lost today. Toronto has an off day before e play them ensuring they will be full rested while we go to Minnesota to play the Twins who have the worst pitching staff in the AL, but have been scoring runs lately. It's just their pitching gives up more. They were going pretty good this month and are still 12-10 in July, but are 5-6 since the break.

It's really hard to favor Jimenez in any matchup these days, but he could surprise here for one start at least as he tries to earn his way back into having a job in the rotation. The good career numbers against the Twins and at Target Field are encouraging at least.

Both Toronto and Boston lost today as Boston continues their slump as did the Yankees to Houston. The Cubs are slaughtering the White Sox and Detroit pulls to within 2.5 games of the WC currently held by the struggling Red Sox. Texas lost their second in a row to Oakland and Seattle were slaughtered by the Pirates. So, Houston closes to a game of the WC and 2.5 of Texas for the division and the Tigers are making a run at it themselves pulling to 4.5 games of Cleveland.

      1:2 is good.  Elite is a player like Arraez who is 1+:1.

      Was reading Wiggins write up on ESPN. He appears to be more of a home run threat than Koolaid. He had a pick 6 each of the last 2 years.

      Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.

      Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Philip · Posted

      I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.

      This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
