Jimenez is going today. Hopefully we see some improvement.

Each starter has pitched once since I last posted.

Jimenez:

3/03: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 2 K's (also 2 HBP and an error by Jimenez)*

3/08: 2.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 5 K's*

3/13: 4.0 IP. 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 1 K*

Gausman:

3/04: 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 1 K

3/10: 2.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K

3/15: 3.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K's (B game)

Gonzalez:

3/05: 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K's

3/11: 3.0 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 1 K

3/16: 4.0 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 4 K's*

Chen:

3/05: 2.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K*

3/10: 3.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K's

3/15: 3.1 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K's*

Norris:

3/07: 1.0 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 2 K's

3/12: 2.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 1 K*

3/17: 4.0 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 K

Tillman:

3/09: 2.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K

3/14: 3.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K's (vs. Puerto Rico Development team)

Road games are marked with an * since the opposing team usually plays a better lineup in those games.

This next time out, most of the pitchers will be shooting to go 5 IP, except perhaps Tillman and Gausman. This is the point in ST where I like to start seeing some results. The rust should be pretty well shaken off at this point.

Thanks for updating this.

Norris didn't look very loose today, at least not at the beginning. Little bit worried.

Another turn through:

Jimenez:

3/03: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 2 K's (also 2 HBP and an error by Jimenez)*

3/15: 3.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K's (B game)

3/20: 4.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K's (MiL game)

3/05: 2.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K*

3/10: 3.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K's

3/15: 3.1 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K's*

3/20: 5.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K's (MiL game)

Norris:

3/07: 1.0 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 2 K's

3/12: 2.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 1 K*

3/19: 4.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K's

Road games are marked with an * since the opposing team usually plays a better lineup in those games.

It's kind of disappointing that Jimenez, Gonzalez and Norris were unable to throw more innings than they did their last time out, even with pitch counts extended to 75 or so. Buck started Tillman a bit later than everyone else, but he seems to be progressing nicely.

Best start of the week was probably from Brian Matusz, who three 4 innings of shutout ball, allowing 2 hits and walking none, against a pretty good Boston lineup in an away game.

Chen supposedly was pitching in a minor league game on Monday while Zach Davies was starting for the Orioles, but now Chen is listed as Thursday's starter, so I suspect if Chen pitched at all on Monday, it was just a tune-up for an inning or two. In any event, I couldn't find a report of it.

It's interesting that Ubaldo is leading the team in K's.

It's to be expected. He led the SP in K/9 last season.
