100K / 62BB, 14HR

QS: 5

Last 3 starts (21.2 IP) (1-1) 2.92 (0.69), 3HR

</b>

Jimenez has pitched better lately and though I hate to put a damper on his success, two of those starts were against offenses that got themselves out quite a bit and they happen to be the best two of the three. Jimenez has given up a home run in each of the last three starts and he doesn't have much success against the Tigers or on the road and certainly not at Another Stadium Named After A Bank Park. Almost everyone in Detroit's lineup has at least one home run against Jimenez.

Jordan Zimmermann

(9-5)

4.44 (1.30/.279)

60K / 20BB, 10HR

QS: 8

Zimmermann did pretty well for the first two months of the season, but did not do well in June at all (6.43) after which he missed all of July with a neck injury. He came back to make one start in August (a bad one) and went back on the DL with a lat injury. He will be making his return from the DL in this game after making only one start over the last nine weeks or so. Zimmermann has allowed six or more earned runs in four of his last nine starts with only one quality start over that span after starting the season with seven straight quality starts. There's no telling if he was dealing with any injuries in June, but it seems likely at least. His last rehab start was not good as he was charged with seven runs over 4.2 innings, but only two were earned.

Gausman was shaky in this game and gave up three runs in six innings while Fulmer was mostly dominating aside from the two run homer to Schoop and both were subject to the same erratic umpiring of Joe West, so let's no complain too much about how West cost Gausman the game. Fulmer had to pitch under the same circumstances and didn't get pitches all the same and still managed to outpitch Gausman. Still, he did pitch well. The professional bench-warmer Kim got the double that led to the game tying run in the eighth inning and I think it was questionable of Ausmus to remove Fulmer instead of seeing if he could get even one out in the eighth, but maybe Fulmer said he was done? Detroit's middle relief corps have been the soft underbelly of the team all season. Brach gives up the go ahead home run in the bottom of the eighth which turns out to be the game winner and that's all she wrote.

This one has the potential to go wrong on both sides. Zimmermann has made only one start in the last nine weeks or so and I think that may be the biggest factor between the two. Jimenez doesn't do well against the Tigers, so there could be a lot of runs scored here. Zimmermann is going to have to be in April form here for Detroit to have a chance.

Boston seems to be trying to run away with the division as Toronto seems to be in the midst of a collapse. The New York Yankees are now only one game out of the wild card themselves. I know there's a lot of Yankee hate around here, but Girardi is one hell of a manager to have that team where they are right now and should definitely be in the discussion for manager of the year maybe even the front runner at this point. What a job he has done in New York with that team even after trading Miller and Chapman. The wild card now has four competing teams all within one game with Houston missing a big opportunity tonight against the Cubs, but they aren't exactly easy to beat.

Wild Card Standings

*Boston +3.0

*Toronto +1.0

*Baltimore --

*Detroit --

NY Yankees -1.0

Houston -2.5

KC Royals -4.0

Seattle -4.0

What does this mean?

That the hitters were up against a video game instead of an O's pitcher and moved the joy stick the wrong way.

But seriously, it's more of not giving O's pitchers their due. It's a narrative that's imprinted and he won't let go of. I'm done reading the editorializing. I'll just go with OFFNY's down on the farm thead starts and ignoring the other guy's previews. It just ruins it for me.

If you use the ignore function it will get better.

I'll set that up. Due to screen size on my iPad, I read far more these days on Tapatalk as opposed to pressing the tiny hyperlinks on the web version. But I'll go to the web version and activate that. Thanks. It'll be worth it.

      Colton Cowser 2024

      By Hallas · Posted

      Fangraphs and B-R agree on batting runs, replacement runs, and most of the minor adjustments.  The vast majority of the difference is in defense, where Cowser is +3 in DRS but +9 in OAA.   Fangraphs is giving him an extra 1.4 runs for baserunning, while B-R is calling him an average runner, and Fangraphs has an additional 0.5 run adjustment because I guess they think the AL is a better league.  That adds up to close to 9 runs, which is the entire difference between B-R and Fangraphs.    If you split the defense and baserunning in the middle you still get a 1.6 or 1.7 win guy about 40% of the way through the season, which is basically a 4 or 4.5 win player.  That's pretty good.

      Phillies series is going to be fun

      By dtk9119 · Posted

      I've been saying this for a week since Hyde went to the 6 man rotation. Right now, NY lines up w/ Poteet, Cortes, and Gil. They have a clear advantage if this holds. I am hoping w/ the off day, Hyde will maybe push Bradish or GRod up a day to at least face Gil on Thu.

      Wheeler-Burnes is really nice - for an over from the NL mercenary, dueling Wheeler maybe as engaging as any miscellaneous Yankee game. Phillies without Trea and Realmuto are a little bit like Braves without Acuna and Strider.

      Are they playing on HS fields filled with rocks and pot holes? Cmon.  Either you are a good fielder or you aren't.   And this translates all the way from tee ball to travel league to HS to college to pro. A field is a field.  I grew up playing shortstop on a field or marbles.  You could still tell who the good defenders were and who wasn't.

      The issue is, and this needs to be talked about, is was he so "Tiger Woodsed" by his dad, in other words pointed towards a sport and made to play that 24/7 (baseball and also with obvious talent) over other athletes that played many other sports besides baseball growing up......that has he had an advantage playing baseball specifically  as a kid?  And has had that advantage up to age 20 compared to kids who didn't devote as much time to baseball but are better athletes, who played many other sports, and who have a higher ceiling as a result? Because I just do not see any sort of elite athleticism in JH.  I see a player who had been trained his entire life to play baseball and as a result is way ahead of most other players his age.  Not sure I see anything elite.
