Who will start Sunday? (Dylan Bundy)

[Ripken]

I'd start OD but I think it'll be Ubaldo. :cussing:

[fronczb]

Jorge De La Rosa

[Todd-O]

I'd go with Ubaldo. He's gotta catch fire at some point (well... At least he has to if the O's want to to go anywhere)

[Il BuonO]

Are you sure you're not confusing him with the guy who throws gas on the fire? I wouldn't pin their hopes on Jimenez.

[O's84]

I doubt they start Ubaldo but if somehow they do, I think he should be required to carry a white flag the whole game.

[LookitsPuck]

Duquette should resign if Ubaldo starts another game for the O's anytime soon.

[El Gordo]

I doubt that's his decision to make.

[Il BuonO]

I doubt that's his decision to make.

It's not, but he could take it out of Buck's hands by just releasing Jimenez.

[TouchemAll]

Sadly my GUT says they run Jimenez back put there.

[LookitsPuck]

I doubt that's his decision to make.

Do you seriously think Angelos is mandating Buck start Ubaldo? Or that Buck wants to start him?

Buck is starting what's given to him. This would fall squarely on Duquette.

[atomic]

I think Buck will start Jiminez again.

[LookitsPuck]

I voted Bundy, but that was emotional.

I think it's going to be Worley with Bundy piggybacking him.

[Nevermore]

Interesting article about perhaps fixing Ubaldo in Camden Chat this evening:

Though Jimenez has never been able to find consistency in years of lost velocity, he still has enough natural movement on all of his pitches to be effective. His abysmal numbers, or history of terribleness may not suggest it, but getting back to league-average over the course of the second-half is certainly a possibility.

Not a severe change but enough to cause problems, Jimenez?s release point has been a source of issues over the course of the year. Ubaldo relies on side-to-side movement on his fastball, as well as depth and tilt to his slider and splitter. While a more vertical release point works for, say, Chris Tillman, Jimenez would seem to benefit from a slightly more three-quarters delivery.

I personally think that Ubaldo needs to return to the pen in order to work on issues such as the above. He has said that he's willing to do that.

[mrpennybags]

Worley seems the most logical choice. I think Ubaldo's been too bad for too long.

[El Gordo]

It's not, but he could take it out of Buck's hands by just releasing Jimenez.

Different issue. Who's on the roster v who pitches tomorrow.
