I thought he would definitely be an upgrade over McClouth.. pretty disappointing.

Maybe it's time to look for somebody else?

Another leadoff walk. Set up by Ubaldo not being able to hold a crummy offense down.

Buck is back. The offense is not. This team will be in last place soon if they can't score more than 3 runs a game. They also hit nothing but singles which makes it that much harder to score. Simply not good enough. They can only win with phenomenal pitching performances. The pitching can't be that good every single game.

He is what he is. Currently, a glove without a bat. He has the potential to hit better... just looks lost right now.

Unfortunately we don't exactly have anyone in AAA putting themselves into that 4th OF spot at the moment.

I think you might have an inflated opinion on what 12.5 buys on the FA pitcher market.

This is an extreme pitchers park where the rest of our staff has been fantastic. It's also a very poor offense we are playing and jiminez has a very good defense behind him.

It's also no longer April. I'm sorry, but jiminez has been pretty awful so far, all things considered. If you can't be honest with yourself about that, there isn't much to discuss.

Hopefully he will improve and find his rhythm as the season progresses, but this is a huge blown opportunity. 5 runs in 5 innings in this park against this team is bad, no other way to slice it.

      You mean a AAAA starter.  Sometimes I think he thinks he’s smarter than everybody else, so he does things that no one else would do just to prove a point. I don’t actually think he wants to spend money on free agents. I think he likes the idea of trying to be the smartest man in the room. I think his attitude is going to change somewhat next off-season, After his many blunders at the trade deadline.

      I don’t think this is true. He’s had a lot of games as you described and there haven’t been these ten post reactions to said games. He’s going to hit. Would it be nice if he was producing this year like the other rookie Jacksons? Of course but no one (that I’ve seen) on this board is rooting against him or suggesting that he won’t be a high caliber major league hitter. His defense is another thing but he’s going to figure it out at the plate at the MLB level. You’re right though - his nice game should have garnered more attention, especially with the way the year has largely gone for him. I’m not sure what role he has in the postseason other than maybe as a pinch runner. Right now I don’t think I’m putting him ahead of any of the lefty bats on the roster. I guess he’s the only other ‘SS’ they have on the big club so he’s surely going to fill a spot but I can’t think that he plays ahead of anyone, including Rivera right now. It will be interesting to see how Hyde and Co. deploy Holliday come Tuesday.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Per Roch, Selby is the call up today, with Davidson presumably DFA.   Guessing today’s pitching looks like:  - Suarez (2-3 IP)  - Webb (1 IP)  - Soto (1 IP)  - Dominguez (1 IP)  - Coulombe (1 IP)  - Selby (2 IP) Bowman fills in gaps as needed.

      Holliday and Henderson is going to be an elite top 2 in the lineup.

      He’s also replaced the leg kick with a toe tap. At least with two strikes I noticed.

      Burnes named Game 1 ALWC starter

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Last year, of 8 WC teams: - 5 went with 12 pitchers - 2 went with 11 pitchers - 1 went with 13 pitchers I expect the Orioles to go with 12 pitchers. Given how Detroit mixes and matches pitching, we need to have enough platoon options.   I do think there is value in having more pitchers, even if it’s just an extra guy for mop up duty that saves pen in blowout game 2 so we aren’t running on fumes in game 3. However, I think 14 position players and 12 pitchers is the right balance for the wild card series.

      I don't think this is true.  He's struck out 3 times a few times and gone 0-4 several times and 10 posts haven't been made. I hope he has a nice view from the bench during the playoff series and gets an at bat here or there if we're up big or getting blown out.  I'd like to see him put in a lot of work this offseason and start 2025 on fire.
