Ubaldo Jimenez Today, 2016

[Nevermore]

I would not say Ubaldo was even a contributing cause. He was not perfect but his line was zero earned runs and that is the line he deserved. If we had won the game it would have been in large part due to Ubaldo keeping BOS off the board for 5+ innings and leaving the game in a winnable situation.

Ubaldo pitched well and left the game with a well-deserved standing ovation. But all he got was a big "L" by this name.

The Grand Poobah of the Ubaldo Jimenez Fan Club :smile11:

I wonder if Chris Davis and Brad Brach will need Fan Clubs after this one.

With runners on 1st and 2nd with nobody out, there's a 61% chance that at least one run will score. The average number of runs scored in that situation is 1.44. So I don't see how Ubaldo is not a contributing cause. You might say he was unlucky that the bullpen and defense didn't do the job after he left, and you'd be right. But you also could say that the defense bailed him out twice while he was in the game.

Which is why baseball is basically a team effort.

Whoever "fixed" him needs to be the pitching coach next season. No idea what we would have done without him now.

The man has turned into a freaking TANK in September!! What a clutch performance! UJ's definitely got my vote for WC starter now!

I guess it is good that we weren't in charge we would have all released Jiminez months ago. Turns out to be our second half ace.

[Frobby]

One of the great stories of 2016. This is pretty much what he did down the stretch for Cleveland in 2013 (OK, not quite that good, but close enough). I'm thrilled for him, and for us.

don't forget that either folks

In June I would have guessed that Jimenez wouldn't even be on the team anymore. Now he's certain to be in the Orioles' plans for 2017, for better or worse.

[Aristotelian]

Biggest game he has pitched as an Oriole. And to think the organization said publicly they were considering releasing him, and probably the majority on the board wanted him DFA. I absolutely would not have opposed that move at the time. Now he has had 7 solid starts in a row and all of a sudden he is our hottest pitcher.

Who reworked it? Who fixed him?
