vs. TWINS, 3/18

[Nevermore]

Rosario hit sacrifice fly. 1 run scored. Score, Os 3, Twins 1. 2 out.

Kurt Suzuki grounded out. 3rd out. Don't know if they will stretch Ubaldo into 5 innings.

Bottom of 5th Ubaldo still pitching.

Bottom of 5th Ubaldo still pitching.

Might be Norris headed to the pen at this rate. :scratchchinhmm:

Much better outcome from Jimenez if not the desired finish.

Sounds like Ubaldo had some bad luck in the fifth. Gave up two bloop hits and an infield single to end his day.

I hear the phrase bad luck a lot when Ubaldo is pitching. It certainly appears he gives up an unnatural amount of bloops.

Two scoreless innings for Verrett. He's done a nice job this spring. Still 3-2 Orioles after six innings.

Ubaldo just might make the rotation. Though what they will do with Gausman/Norris/Gonzo, who knows.

[PaulFolk]

Caleb Joseph has been flashing his arm the last couple innings. Threw out an attempted base stealer in the fifth, then threw out a runner trying to advance on a wild pitch in the sixth. He's the Opening Day catcher, in all likelihood.

Its frustrating yes but more encouraging than giving up screamers.

Its a good decision to have to make instead of "damn where are we going to find a 5th starter?"

Top of 8th, score still 3-2. Zach Britton pitching for Os, however Os are batting.

o

UBALDO JIMENEZ (Spring Training)

1st Start: Horrible.

2nd Start: Mediocre.

3rd Start: Slightly better than mediocre.

4th start: Pretty good, and into the 5th inning (another mild improvement.)

5th start: ???

Slowly but surely, Jimenez appears to be gradually improving with each Spring Training outing.

On to the bottom of the ninth.
