Ubaldo Jimenez

(5-7)

6.63 (1.91/.313)

69K / 45BB, 9HR

QS: 3

</b>

Well, Jimenez is coming off back to back good starts allowing three runs in 11 IP. Unfortunately, they were both against the Padres and he walked four batters in each game. Jimenez, like the Orioles, is at his best against bad or struggling teams. His five best starts of the season came against the Twins, A's, KC when they couldn't hit anything and still allowed 12 baserunners and the Padres. Against everyone else, he's awful. He faced Seattle back in May and allowed six runs in 4.1 innings on five hits and four walks. His numbers against Seattle are awful though his numbers at Safeco are slightly better and his ERA is a lot better. Maybe there's a bit of luck there, but we'll see.

Hisashi Iwakuma

(7-6)

4.34 (1.33/.282)

76K / 24BB, 17HR

QS: 6

Iwakuma started out rough in April with a 4.65 ERA, but lowered it to 4.23 in May and again in June to 4.18. Iwakuma has been hurt a great deal by the long ball this season allowing three in a game in three of his last six starts. However, over the last two months, Iwakuma has allowed four runs in a game only three times and five runs once in 11 starts. He has gone six innings in three starts and seven innings in six starts, so Iwakuma is getting deep into games pretty consistently and holds the opponents to three runs or less more times than not making him a solid rotation piece for the M's, but nothing spectacular. He did throw a no hitter against the Orioles last season, so he is certainly capable of dominating.

Once again, Tyler Wilson lays an egg proving pretty definitively that the start in Boston was a fluke and that he isn't a very good major league starter. The Orioles, yet again, give up a ton of runs and expect the offense to be able to offset it with 13 runs in this case. Suffice to say, that didn't and doesn't work over the long term. The M's will send Hisashi Iwakuma to the mound as they go for the sweep against our worst starter.

Iwakuma is a bit better on the road this season than at Insurance Company Field, but has always pitched well against the Orioles plus a no hitter. Jimenez had two starts against a last place team and did well, but Seattle is a much better team than they are which goes without saying. I've not a lot of faith in him here. The M's have rebounded from a rough June and are once again playing the way they are capable of playing. This is a good team. Simply looking at the record is not always an accurate indicator which is also true for the Orioles.

Boston loses big today 21-2 to the Angels and Toronto beat Cleveland who lost today finally and didn't even have a starting pitcher. Francona was just using guys for an inning or two all game since they used Trevor Bauer for five innings I think it was and Toronto just wouldn't be denied again. It will be interesting to see how the Indians get themselves back together after completely draining their pitching staff in that 19 inning game. They are fortunate that the AS Break is only a couple weeks away. All other teams in the Central won today as KC moves back into the WC spot with Houston's loss to the White Sox and the Tigers are on a tear having won five in a row and only a half game out of the WC spot.

There really are only four AL teams that don't have a chance at this point which leaves eight teams in contention for two WC spots and currently separated by only 4.0 games. That will likely change as the season progresses, but man it could get real interesting especially if one of the division leaders falls away. Things could get really, really interesting in the second half. For contrast, the NL WC situation isn't all that interesting with only five teams in competition at the moment separated by four games. There was a lot of underachieving in the AL for the first two months, but now we see that there are many, many good teams in the AL which means absolutely anything can happen. It also means no division leads are safe. The AL has very few teams who aren't in contention for a postseason spot with only five teams under .500 and the Yankees are still in the WC race.

Boston, unlike the Orioles, has the talent and value to trade for what they need. The Orioles do not unless they deal someone like Trumbo or Alvarez, but even then, there are way too many problems for the trading of a rental to fix and little to nothing in the minors to trade from. The Orioles are in big trouble and don't really have the means to get themselves out of it while the Red Sox do and Toronto will get hot again. I seriously doubt the Orioles offense is going to have another month like they did in June which leaves a horrible pitching staff that not even our offense is going to be able to compensate for in the second half. Playoffs? There won't be any Rays, Twins or Padres teams there and the road ahead is full of good teams and a lot of road games. Even the Orioles bullpen, which was considered to be excellent really isn't that at all. Middle of the pack in the AL in most categories and ERA is falling, falling, falling after being second most of the season behind only KC's bullpen. Not good, not good at all. The rotation is bad and the bullpen isn't great either. Giving up a ton of runs and constantly putting pressure on the offense to save the day is NOT how championship teams work and is NOT a realistic or sustainable formula for winning. The M's finished eight games under .500 in June and I would bet the Orioles do something similar before the season is done and it may even last longer than a month.

Watching Cubs Mets game. Reminds me of us and Seattle. Mets are a .500ish team trying to put 2 and 2 together, and the Cubs are great. Cubs just can't beat the Mets, like we can't beat the Mariners. This is just another skid in a long season. With that said, lets win so we feel good heading into LA to face the dodgers

      Left sounds like past tense to me. May leave sounds like there is a possibility. Even saying that he is a free agent would have been just a matter of fact statement. Maybe it was a mistake? A Freudian slip? Or some other misdirection? Who knows for sure?

      I wish they would just hurry up and pony up for Burnes.  Pay the man and use him over the next 3-4 years to build an even better rotation and then sell him off and use the savings from that contract to pay Gunnar as he becomes a FA.  Hell, time it out that way.  Pay Burnes now, use him to keep us in the mix with a chance to win every year he's here while stabilizing the youngsters, both pitchers coming up and position players, and then a year or so before Gunnar becomes a FA (2029?) sell off Burnes who will be a much cheaper option for clubs, given how contracts are likely to grow.  We'll get excellent return - or should - just as both the Tigers and Mets did with Verlander.  The Mets didn't even keep him a full year and got two quality prospects from the Astros for returning Verlander.  These Aces don't do down in value unless there's an injury and even then...

      Morosi: Os and Dodgers are leading Burnes chase

      By jamalshw · Posted

      The only team I think is out of Burnes that was in is the Yankees. They still have money to spend even after Fried, but they are (and should be) more focused on the offense.  Boston just traded a few players for him, but his salary for this year will be rather depressed compared to his market rate he'd get in free agency. They still have funds and could add a position player with them, but I wouldn't be shocked if they were still in on Burnes (less desperate now, however).  The Giants and Blue Jays of course are still in.  And I'm not convinced the Dodgers are fully out at this rate I don't think you can be convinced the Dodgers are out on anyone, but it seems highly unlikely. Sasaki makes sense for them given the youth, lower cost, controllability and upside, but with Snell already there alongside Yamamoto, Glasnow, Gonsolin and May even if Ohtani isn't ready for opening day, they still have plenty of options. I do think Burnes' market is a bit more defined now, but there are still plenty of interested teams for Boras to play against each other to drive the price up well beyond the initial projections.

      By interloper · Posted

      Eve said he "left" when discussing the spots they need to fill, but she isn't at liberty to say whether or not they are targeting him, just that there is a Burnes hole in the rotation. I think it got misconstrued, personally. Poor word choice when talking casually about their needs.

      You intentionally ignore all of the dozen or so better options available that are entirely realistic targets for the Orioles to push Gibson nonstop. It's weird and I don't really get it, but at least you're consistent. I can respect that.
