Rougher outting for Stolmy tonight, as he went four innings today in his start against the State College Spikes. The game was called after four innings (and will be resumed tomorrow at 6:05) with the Spinners trailing 2-1. Pimentel struck out five, walked two and gave up two runs (both earned).

Interesting article about Stolmy's involvement in negotiations before the Jason Bay trade.
Very interesting article. I enjoy reading things like that.
Lets hope we look back on this the same way we look back on the Manny/ARod trade and think "Thank God we were able to hold on to Lester/Pimentel".

Perhaps one of the more obvious people, a clear first type, he had a decent year in the New York-Penn League (3.14 ERA, 61/17 K/BB in 63 innings, 51 hits). He already has good command for his age (19), has an excellent changeup, and has enough physical projection to boost his velocity past it's current 88-91 range. A push in dominance due to greater velocity would vault him up the charts, as long as he maintains his command. He could be a Top 50 guy if everything comes together.

Pimentel made his 2009 regular season debut last night, winding up with a no decision in Greenville’s season-opening 10-inning loss at Greensboro. He left the game in line to pick up the win with the score 5-2, but the Greenville offense fell silent and the bullpen couldn't hold the three run lead.
Quick hits:
- Of the 8 hits allowed, 5 of them went for extra bases (all doubles)
- The one strikeout was swinging
- Gamelog and full boxscore
UPDATE, 7:30: Pimentel retired the first two hitters easily on a popout and groundout, but gave up a double over the center fielder’s head to Jeremy Synan, followed by a sinking line drive from Ben Lasater that a diving Pete Hissey couldn’t get coming in from center. The ball glanced off Hissey’s glove and allowed Synan to score easily. Pimentel got Kyle Skipworth to ground out to second on a 91 mph fastball to end the inning.
UPDATE, 7:55: Greensboro’s hitters have had a hard time figuring out Pimentel’s changeup and curveball, and he’s done a nice job of varying his attack. He struck out Isaac Galloway on three straight offspeed pitches in the second and has induced a good number of swings and misses and not much hard contact since Synan’s double. His fastball reached 94 mph on the stadium gun here, although Paul Gran lashed the pitch into left for a single. We’re in the fourth here, still 4-1 Greenville.
UPDATE, 8:25: Pimentel surrendered a leadoff double to Isaac Galloway on another ball that narrowly eluded a diving Pete Hissey in right center. However, Pimentel was unfazed and easily set down the next three hitters on two pop flys and a grounder to short. His velocity was still a solid 88 mph in the fifth. We’ll see if he’s done for the evening.
New pitcher for Greensboro, righty Bryan Evans. 5-2 in the sixth here.
UPDATE, 8:33: My suspicions were correct, and Pimentel is done after five. His final line: 5 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 8 H, 1 K, 0 BB. At least a couple of those eight hits were of the hard luck variety, and I’d certainly call this a solid debut for him.

As you can see, Pimentel was shaky in his second start of the season. He allowed 8 baserunners in 3.33 innings and took the loss in Greenville’s 8-0 defeat at the hands of Hickory.
Quick hits:
- Of the 5 hits, two went for extra bases (1 RBI double, 1 leadoff triple)
- There were 3 stolen bases allowed while Pimentel was on the mound; no report on whether they were taking advantage of Pimentel or the catcher Ryan Lavarnway, but there was only one stolen base after Pimentel was relieved.

Pimentel rebounded from a subpar performance in his previous outing, pitching five scoreless innings and picking up his first win of the season in Monday’s 2-0 victory over Greensboro.
Quick hits:
- All 5 hits came on groundballs and all 5 went for singles

- From the game story:
The Drive seem to have the Greensboro Grasshoppers’ number. For the second time this series the Greenville pitching staff posted all zeros across the scoreboard, capping the four-game series with a 2-0 win Monday night.
Led by starting pitcher Stolmy Pimentel and relievers Lance McClain and Felix Ventura, the two runs scored in the bottom of the first was all it took to earn a series split. Pimentel (1-1) only needed 55 pitches during his 5.0 inning outing, scattering five hits and fanning five to lower his earned run average to 2.03.

Pimentel took the loss in a 6-2 defeat at Asheville; he was victimized by poor defense as Greenville committed 4 errors behind him leading to 3 unearned runs, but Pimentel didn’t do himself any favors with 2 wild pitches and a balk.

Pimentel turned in a smoke and mirrors performance to pick up a no-decision in Greenville’s 2-1 loss to Savannah. He allowed 0 runs over 5.67 innings despite giving up 8 hits and 3 walks while only striking out 2. He was helped out by two double plays behind him, including a runner thrown out at home trying to tag up and score on a fly to right.

| Season | - | 1-2 | 29.00 | 43 | 8 | 19 | 0 | 13 | 7 | 2.17 |
Pimentel continues to defy odds; he gave up 9 hits and 1 walk over 5 innings, but surrendered only 2 runs (1 earned). He also struck out 5 and threw a wild pitch. His defense was a mixed blessing, helping him out with a double play in the third inning and hurting him with an error in both the fourth and the fifth (both by SS Ryan Dent). Pimentel was in line to pick up the win until Hunter Strickland imploded in the ninth and tenth after a passed ball allowed what would have been the game-ending strikeout to reach base.
Quick Hits:
- Of the 8 hits, 4 were for extra bases (all doubles)
- Of the 5 strikeouts, 3 were swinging
- Despite his 2.17 ERA, Pimentel is allowing baserunners at a disappointing 1.76 WHIP, the worst on the Drive. This is driven primarily by his 13.34 H/9; batters are hitting a robust .347/.383./.460 against him, aided by a .410 BABIP (15.0 LD%). On the flipside, he’s been helped by the fact that he has yet to allow a HR through 133 batters faced. It will be very surprising if he can sustain his success without improving his peripherals and having his luck on balls-in-play regress.

Pimentel returned from his paper-exile in Lowell on Thursday, pitching 3 innings in relief following Smoltz’s first rehab start. Pimentel took the loss at Augusta despite not allowing an earned run as the defense in his third inning of work committed a cavalcade of errors, led by his own misplay:
- Matthew Klimas singles on a ground ball to left fielder David Mailman.
- Vladimir Frias reaches on force attempt, throwing error by pitcher Stolmy Pimentel. Matthew Klimas to 2nd.
- Charlie Culberson singles on a ground ball to left fielder David Mailman. Matthew Klimas to 3rd. Vladimir Frias to 2nd.
- Andy D'Alessio reaches on force attempt, fielding error by second baseman Ryan Dent. Matthew Klimas scores. Vladimir Frias scores. Charlie Culberson to 3rd.
- Juan Perez reaches on force attempt, fielding error by third baseman Michael Almanzar. Charlie Culberson scores. Andy D'Alessio to 2nd.
- Mike Loberg flies out to center fielder Peter Hissey.
- Ehire Adrianza singles on a ground ball to center fielder Peter Hissey. Andy D'Alessio to 3rd. Juan Perez to 2nd.
- James Simmons called out on strikes.
- Wendell Fairley doubles (4) on a line drive to right fielder Mitch Dening. Andy D'Alessio scores. Juan Perez scores. Ehire Adrianza scores.
- Matthew Klimas strikes out swinging.
Overall Pimentel allowed 5 hits, 1 walk, and 6 unearned runs while striking out 5.
Quick Hits:
- Of the 5 hits, 1 went for extra bases (Fairley’s base-clearing double in the sixth). The other 4 hits were all groundball singles.
- Of the 5 strikeouts, 4 were swinging.
- The lone walk was his first batter of the game and was thrown out trying to steal second by catcher Tim Federowicz.
- Pimentel has now faced 150 batters without allowing a HR.

Pimentel picked up the win today in the first game of Greenville’s doubleheader at Rome, his first start since his 9 day sojourn “in Lowell”. He went 5 innings giving up 3 hits (including his first HR allowed of the season) and 3 earned runs with 4 strikeouts and 1 walk; he also hit a batter.

Pimentel turned in his longest outing of the season on Tuesday, going 6 scoreless innings and picking up the win over Asheville. He allowed 6 hits and 1 walk while striking out 5; he was also helped out some by a defense that has often victimized him in the past:
- The first batter he faced led off with a line drive double to CF, but was thrown out trying to stretch it into a triple.
- The third out of the first came when Tim Federowicz picked a man off first following a 2-out single.
- In the third inning, Pimentel escaped a first and third, nobody out jam when he was able to catch a line drive up the middle and double the man off first, followed by inducing the next batter to flyout for the third out.
Quick hits:
- Of the 6 hits, the double to leadoff the game was the only one that went for extra bases

Pimentel continues his strong stretch, giving up 4 hits and 1 earned run while picking up the win at Lexington. He lasted 5.33 innings, walking 1 and striking out 6.
Quick Hits:
- Of the 6 strikeouts, 5 were swinging and 1 was called.
- Of the 4 hits, 1 was for extra bases (a double on his last batter faced in the sixth). It seems like he started to tire after cruising through 4: he allowed the first 3 men to reach base in the fifth inning; 2 singles, both of which were erased on the basepaths (the first was thrown out by Federowicz attempting to steal second, the second thrown out by Dening trying to stretch the single into a double) and the third batter was his lone walk of the game.
- The 1 earned run came in his last inning of work. As mentioned, his last batter faced doubled with 1 out in the sixth. Armando Zerpa came on and induced a popout for the second out, but gave up a single to allow the inherited runner to score before he could get out of the inning.
- SSS, but in his 4 appearances since his 9 day vacation on Lowell’s roster (1 relief, 3 starts) Pimentel has gone 3-1, throwing 19.33 innings with a 1.86 ERA, 20 K, 4 BB, 1 HBP. In that span batters have hit .254/.299/.338 against him. It bears watching to see if he can keep this up or if he reverts back to his April/early May form.

Thanks for catching that, there was an error in my spreadsheet.
On the year so far, Greenville as a team has given up 40 unearned runs and Pimentel has given up 30% of them while pitching to 10.3% of the total batters faced. Nobody else is in the same ballpark as that discrepancy.

Pimentel continues to roll, going 5 strong innings allowing 1 ER and riding a rare Greenville offensive explosion to pick up the 11-3 win over Asheville. He gave up 4 hits while walking 1 and striking out 7.
Quick Hits:
- Of the 7 strikeouts, 5 were swinging and 2 were looking.
- All 4 hits were singles.
- The lone run he allowed scored after he allowed back-to-back singles to leadoff the second, resulting in a first and third, nobody out situation. He induced the following batter into a 6-4-3 double play which scored the runner but minimized the damage; no other runner advanced past second in his 5 innings of work.
- In the 5 appearances since his 9 day break (1 relief, 4 starts) Pimentel has gone 4-1, throwing 24.33 innings with a 1.85 ERA, 27 K, 5 BB and 1 HBP. In that span, batters are hitting .247/.292/.315 against him.
- In his last 4 appearances (all starts), he has gone 4-0, throwing 21.33 innings with a 2.11 ERA, 22 K, 4 BB, and 1 HBP. In those 4 starts, batters are hitting .233/.278/.301 against him.

Does anyone know when his next start will be so I can plan my drive around it.
Things can change, but as of right now, it looks like Hagadone on Tuesday, Stolmy on Wednesday and Huntzinger on Thursday. Would love to hear a first-hand report on any of the three.
