Victor Alcantara was diagnosed with it last week, and now Joe Jimenez seems to have gotten the bug. An interesting thing to note about the Rowdy Telez home run, is that it was the first of the eight changeups Joe Jimenez has thrown in 2019.

Are the Tigers pitching coaches and analysts game planning these fastball heavy approaches, or do Victor Alcantara and Joe Jimenez want to live and die with their number one pitches? One also has to wonder if maybe this is just who Joe Jimenez is.
