As spring training goes on the Baltimore Orioles seemingly have a pitching problem more and more. This evening it was Ubaldo Jimenez who struggled, this time against Pittsburgh in Bradenton. Jimenez’s line: .2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 0 K. For those keeping score at home, yes he was pulled before the first inning even ended.
Jimenez was nearing 40 pitches in the laborious first inning, which is why he was
pulled when he was. He ended up going down to the bullpen and working on various pitches, throwing about 80 total.
