P: Ubaldo Jimenez

The Tigers roughed up Ubaldo Jimenez for five runs over as many innings when they last met on May 12 at Camden Yards, though the Orioles came back and won that game.
That was part of an awful six-week stretch that put his rotation spot in doubt and eventually led to a bullpen role. Since injuries forced Jimenez back into the rotation, however, he has been surprisingly effective, allowing seven runs on 12 hits over 21 2/3 innings in three starts ? including a complete-game two-hitter at Tampa Bay on Monday. He threw a season-high 114 pitches to finish that game, though, and he did not get any extra rest between starts.

First pitch from Zimmerman drops over the left field wall 1-0 Baltimore already

 

[Mawilli]

Nice start Zimmerman you goof. 1 pitch... homerun.

 

[gotime909]

Better get someone up quick Brad

 

[tigermud]

I don't think Zimmerman is going to be much help over these final 22 games

 

[tigermud]

Get pelfrey up right now Brad! Zimmerman is still not ready

 

[gotime909]

0-2 meatball to Davis. 3-0 now. Go get him

 

[nsonnett14]

lol you guys are too funny . You dont pull him in the 1st inning . Jones "homerun" is normally a can of corn .

 

[tigermud]

It's not really that surprising he wasn't overly impressive in his rehab starts, Brad will wait till they get 5 more before he figures it out as he stubbornly tries to force what isn't there

 

[gotime909]

Shit that was an ugly inning. He has zero control over his pitches. He's just throwing he ball right now.

 

[gotime909]

lol you guys are too funny . You dont pull him in the 1st inning . Jones "homerun" is normally a can of corn .

So you think his control look good that inning?

 

[Thundercats]

Signing Zimmermann was a horrible decision from the beginning. His stuff was in decline already. So much wasted payroll on this team. Between him and Sanchez, we could have gotten 3 solid starters with that money.

 

[gotime909]

Pick him up VMart!!!

 

[tigermud]

Baldo isn't throwing many strikes nobody get over aggressive now

 

[nsonnett14]

So you think his control look good that inning?

What does that matter , you dont pull the guy in the 1st inning . That's just retarded

 

[Thundercats]

What does that matter , you dont pull the guy in the 1st inning . That's just retarded

Eh, it's more retarded to concede a game that has an enormous amount of importance by allowing your starting pitcher to get shelled when it's clear he doesnt have anything going.

Every talking head said this was the worst signing of the off season when it happened and they're looking pretty smart. Like you said, his stuff was already in major decline. I think his last injury wasn't even really an injury and he just sucked so bad he needed an excuse. Avila should be fired for that contract alone, not to mention Lowe and the other blunders. DD saved this team will all the trades he made on the way out.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Dammit. Meanwell I guess that's Kirk Gibson in the broadcast booth. He's another Spartan just like a lot of you guys. Hey JD gets one down and we get a run here.

 

[tigermud]

What's retarded was having him come back off the DL and having him start in the first place, he didn't have the control in the rehabs and he still doesn't have it

 

[gotime909]

What does that matter , you dont pull the guy in the 1st inning . That's just retarded

Shouldn't you be paying attention to managing the team Brad?
