Ubaldo Jimenez

(3-7)

7.34 (2.00/.332)

57K / 37BB, 8HR

QS: 2

Since May 1st (42 IP): (2-5) 9.21 (2.24), 94 baserunners allowed

</b>

What is there to say? Since May 1st, he has one quality start of eight innings against Oakland way back on May 7th. Since May 1st, Jimenez has allowed six earned runs three times, five runs three times all coming this month and four runs once. In the last five starts, Jimenez has failed to get through the first inning once, the second inning once and the third inning once. His only good start since May 7th came against the KC Royals when they forgot how to hit and still allowed 12 baserunners in the five innings he pitched in that game. In five of the last seven games Jimenez has started, opponents have put up double digit run totals which of course we lost all five of those games. The only halfway decent thing to look at are his career numbers against the Padres, but most of those starts came when he was an NL pitcher and still had a fastball. Since those days are long gone, the significance of those numbers probably are too.

Erik Johnson

(0-2)

7.66 (1.79/.326)

16K / 10BB, 10HR

QS: 0

Johnson started the season with the White Sox, but was traded to the Padres and made his first start there on the 11th against the Rockies and the second on the 16th against the Nats. He allowed 10 runs in 10.2 IP over those two starts with five home runs allowed. He seems to be yet another opportunity for the Orioles offense to play some tee ball. Johnson allows a BAA of nearly .400 from the wind up, but has been much better with RISP. It's the home runs killing him with 10 allowed in only four starts.

I really can't believe we lost game one to the Padres and allowed them to drop 10 runs on us. Wilson struggled, but somehow managed to leave the game with a 4-3 lead and get through six innings on top of that despite not being sharp. Then, the bullpen entered the game after the Orioles managed to extend the lead to 6-3 and allowed the Padres to put up seven runs and it was just too much for our offense to make up. I still can't believe it, but it happened and now it's time for game two followed by a day off before the Rays come into town for four games including a doubleheader on Saturday. Then, we go to San Diego to play the Padres for two more, then to Seattle for four and LA for three against the Dodgers and three against the Angels to finish the first half. After the break, the Orioles have a pretty rough schedule all the way through August and it's no picnic in September either.

Compared to Jimenez, Erik Johnson is looking pretty good right about now. I mean, I can't really expect anything out of Ubaldo right now. He has been absolutely awful since May 1st. Nothing more to say.

For the second day in a row, all teams in the East will be coming off a loss the next day. Boston is doing whatever we do as they have lost two in a row along with the Yankees who are six back while Toronto has dropped three in a row and the Rays have dropped six in a row which concerns me because that might mean we will run into them when they get hot again. In the Central, only KC lost today falling two back of Cleveland who have won five in a row and all of Detroit, Chicago and the Twins have won two in a row. In the West, Texas actually lost today, but so did Seattle who have dropped four in a row and eight of 10 which is again concerning for the same reasons the Rays losing streak is concerning. Houston has won four in a row and seven of 10 now sitting three back in the WC race only a half game behind Seattle. The Angels and A's continue their descent into obscurity along with the Twins. We have eight games total against those three teams from here on out.

over/under line currently sits at 10.5, what is this, Coors Field?

Padres are averaging 6.5 runs per game in June. They can hit. A lot. Of course they have another pitcher with ~8.00 ERA and ours is ~8.00. I'd bet the house on the over.

    • THIS. I said it last night in the game thread. This stupid six man rotation and moving starters around like chess pieces messes w/ their routines. You have to get Burnes on turn every 5 days to maximize him and then everyone else is like roulette. After last night, Kremer should just be moved to the pen and go back to a 5 man rotation.
    • Kremer denied both the blister and the extra rest as reasons, as any pitcher normally would. I tend to think both absolutely were a factor regardless of what he said. Would have been a convenient way to keep Irvin in the rotation and get Dean some extra time to get comfortable after getting the blister removed. It's extremely painful to deal with a popped blister and it takes a long time to form a new callous, etc.  Just my opinion, no huge deal either way. 
    • I still read it as “we predicted this before the season but now we’re predicting this”.
    • Yep, the league has already started to pitch Gunnar more carefully (on all ABs not just leadoff) and we are seeing his walk totals go up over last two weeks. In terms of seeing 1 pitch to hit an AB, Gunnar was definitely sitting on 2 strike sweeper from Gray last night that he deposited in CF bleachers.  You just don’t go oppo taco on outside edge breaking ball on one of the best spinners in the league.  Love how Gunnar is hunting certain pitches now.  Thought the same thing given the swings he put on Kirby’s split for HR (Sunday). 
    • If the Orioles really thought Cook was a potential MLB option, I don’t think they would have sent him back to AA when they didn’t have roster space at AAA early in the season. He’s having a very good year though so he could potentially change their view of him.  The other obstacle is he may not get a 40-man spot this off-season despite being rule 5 eligible the first time, there’s a lot of potential additions.  If Norby isn’t traded, he’ll get one of them and Cook’s only advantages over Norby are speed and CF defense, which may not be enough (especially if Mateo is still around). And shortly behind them is Fabian, who is Rule 5 eligible after 2025 and offers those things better than Cook (albeit still with big question marks about his K rate).  I could see Cook threading the needle and get some cup of coffee opportunity between Norby and Fabian if the need arises, but the Orioles have stacked so much bench depth for next couple years there would probably need to be a significant shakeup with trades and/or injuries. 
    • Well I think Szymborski would say those ZIPs numbers are 50th percentile but even the 80th percentile had Gunnar at 148 OPS+ and 6.2 fWAR (link to O’s preseason write up on fangraphs)
    • Is this an attempt at a joke? A troll post? Something else? ... I'm not sure what to do with such a preposterous notion (unless it was stated in jest).
