Ubaldo Jimenez Today, 2017

[Enjoy Terror]

I've never booed a player.

Ubaldo gets booed proportionally more than his teammates that is true. I promise you that the fans are not mistaken. Yes, many O's pitchers have bad games and make the fans upset; Ubaldo has had many more than those players.

There are five qualified pitchers from 2014-2017-- they are Gausman, Tillman, Chen, Ubaldo, and Gonzo. Ubaldo's 4.2 BB/9 would be the 3rd worst (of 145 starters) in BASEBALL over those four years. His 5.14 is the 4th worst in BASEBALL over those 4 years. He's ranked 19th in losses. He has an extremely high profile playoff loss. He's also one of the most well compensated pitchers in Oriole history.

Again, I promise you-- the fans are not confused about Ubaldo Jimenez. When stacked against his teammates, Ubaldo has done some terrible damage to this team's W/L and it was not pretty any step of the way.

I am too old to boo.  But I am not of the view of poor Ubaldo as a victim of us nasty fans and I am not going to make a fan feel guilty about booing his lousy performances, either.   He gets paid millions to come into a public entertainment space and perform.  We pay hundreds to watch him perform.  If the Rolling Stones in concerts performed Honky Tonk Woman as badly as Ubaldo pitches, there would have been riots, not booing.  

[tntoriole]

Maybe the old man would start us a new fan contract...if he signs a guy who is supposed to be really good and turns out really bad performance after bad performance, then all fans in attendance at each "pull your hair out, ain't the beer warm and flat, godawful"  start will get a half price refund...lol.   It would probably cut down on the booing I bet.

I've never booed a player either, but after reading this I can understand why some do.

If this doesn't solidly represent the position that he should not occupy a roster spot then nothing will. 

I wish him the best, elsewhere.

Thanks to everyone who responded. I can see the frustration here . I have had similar frustrations,  not just with Ubaldo but with other Oriole players.  And with Orioles management. It's an unfortunate situation. I will wish Ubaldo well with another team, hopefully one not in the AL East. In the meantime, I ' m still an Orioles fan.

[Bahama O's Fan]

How many more starts does he have for us?

[Nevermore]

Actually I'm not sure. Right now we have 6 starters:(Tillman is already consigned to the pen) Bundy, Gausman, Hellickson, Miley, Ubaldo, Ynoa. And only 5 places. Buck seems to be spinning his wheels with his musical-chair starters. 

[LookitsPuck]

I have one last thing to say about this:

I can't wait for the Ubaldo era to be over. What a disaster. 

4 years, 1 WAR, cost a first round draft pick, ~$50m.

80% of the outs that Jimenez recorded (12 out of 15) came via the Strikeout and the Groundout.

I hope not, considering he'll make at least one more start, if not two.

Because with how consistent he's been you can't wait to see those starts?
