We Just Got Our #1 Starter

Just wanted to show a little appreciation for Ubaldo Jimenez who mlb.com shows as starting today's game. What an insane ride this has been on my couch watching his starts, and I've enjoyed every minute of it. I love watching Ubaldo because he reminds me as a kid playing whiffle ball- his pitches move similarly, but that could be because the 120 inch screen makes it look that way. :D

I woke up this morning wondering what changes Buck might do, and I love this. Can't wait to see what happens in the second half. Tillman has been coming around of late, and with Jimenez and Chen pitching well I'm no longer so worried about the starters. On that note, I'm feeling like an umpire now as I can't wait to see the hitting. Batter Up! :2yay-thumb:

For a fleeting moment, this post made me think I was wrong and there was a game tonight. Alas, have to wait until tomorrow night...

Same here.. I was like whoa, we have a game tonight?!?! My evening plans almost had to be changed. Can't wait to watch our boys again! Hopefully in winning fashion.

    • Yes and at one point was a higher rated prospect in their system than Aaron Judge. It took awhile with the bat but he was always an amazing athlete with the ability for defensive wizardry. 
    • Does anybody know that he is an ex Yankee?
    • I put this ridiculousness in the game recap, but I think it belongs here as well.  Using AI you can really make some crazy stuff. 😂 https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce
    • A buddy of mine made this with his AI. I figured I’d just put this here. 😂   https://suno.com/song/8f21dd9e-af4e-4284-9f23-c566260ca6ce
    • I was listening to MLB Prospects podcast last week. They talked about Gillen, and mentioned a lot about how he may be the best high school hitter. However, it’s a tough call where he’ll go because of a weak arm. They said the arm was injured, a right labrum, and his arm strength is not back after two years. So, probably wasn’t going to be a SS anyway when said and done due to size, maybe a 2B/LF or CF profile due to the weak arm and 60 speed. He was projected to maybe become the top high school player in the draft as a sophomore, but injured the shoulder and had some other injuries that have held him back. It is going to be interesting to see where Elias goes with picks 22 and 32. I would like to see Gillen there, but I think he’ll be gone. Kellon Lindsey is interesting, and maybe Billy Amick, along with one of the previous college hitters you mentioned will sneak through. Lindsey is rising fast.
    • A good friend of mine coaches college baseball.  He’s studied and dedicated his career to understanding how humans move. Not all humans move the same way.  An incredible talent could potentially be taught to move against his body’s preference and fail.  New wave progressive coaches understand how various body types work and the nuance to teach/coach them effectively.  
    • I'm still trying to figure out how this guy is out of the majors for 7 years and somehow manages to pick up 2 MPH on his fastball, at the age of 34.  But hey, I'm not complaining.   Statcast loves him so far this year.  Statcast thought he was a little unlucky in his last stint in the majors, and unsurprisingly they think he's getting a little lucky now, but even accounting for his good luck he's still in great pitcher territory.
