CHICAGO — Jordan Zimmermann is healthy.
The Detroit Tigers' veteran right-hander has not reported any soreness in his neck that prevented him from pitching like the pitcher the team thought it signed before last season.
But his neck might be a little sore after his latest start.
Zimmermann kept turning around to watch baseballs fly over the fence at Guaranteed Rate Field this afternoon, allowing three home runs as the White Sox beat the Tigers, 7-3.
"Terrible," he said. "It's frustrating. … They brought me over here to be a big-time pitcher and I'm not doing that right now."
It was the continuance of a terrible trend this season: Zimmermann victimized by hard contact and home runs.
The Tigers offense didn't do much to back him, though that was a nearly impossible task on this day.

The Tigers struck out 49 times in the four-game series against the White Sox, the most for any four-game series in team history since at least 1913, according to research by Fox Sports Detroit's Austin Drake.
The White Sox jumped on Zimmermann in the bottom of the third inning with an RBI triple by Willy Garcia. Garcia scored on the play when Jose Iglesias made an errant throw to third base.
Two batters later, the first home run happened: Melky Cabrera to rightfield.
After a 30-minute rain delay, Zimmermann allowed a home run to Matt Davidson to lead off the fourth. After the White Sox scored another, Todd Frazier hit a two-run home run in the fifth.

Zimmermann (4-4) has allowed 16 home runs in 55⅔ innings this season. He allowed 14 in 105⅓ innings last season.
"He's gotta stay away from the home run ball," manager Brad Ausmus said. "The home run balls kill him. He can't continue to pitch and give up home runs like that."
Zimmermann's final line: Five innings, eight hits, seven earned runs, one walk and three strikeouts. For the season, he has a 6.47 ERA in 10 starts.
The Tigers didn't put their first runner on base until the seventh inning, when Andrew Romine singled to shortstop.
White Sox righty Miguel Gonzalez retired the first 18 men in order before Romine's line drive, initially ruled an error but later changed to a hit.
"We're just not swinging the bats well, period," Ausmus said. "Occasionally, a guy hits the ball well here and there but as a group, we're not swinging the bats well."
Gonzalez allowed a run in the seventh and two more in the eighth, but as Ausmus said, "It was too late."
Gonzalez, who has struggled in his career against the Tigers, allowed three runs on six hits in 7⅔ innings, with six strikeouts and no walks.
The recently promoted Alex Presley — taking the roster spot of Tyler Collins, who was designated for assignment earlier in the day — had an RBI double in the eighth inning. Romine was the only Tiger with multiple hits (two).
Righty reliever Arcenio Leon made his major league debut in the eighth inning, pitching a perfect inning with one strikeout.
It was the lone bright spot in the Tigers' latest loss, which puts them four games under the .500 mark (23-27). They are 2-6 on their 11-game road trip, which now rolls into Kansas City for a three-game series with the Royals beginning tonight.
"Probably every year I've been here, we've gone through something like this," Ausmus said. "You go through this at some point — every team does — but we gotta find a way to get out of it."

ORCID Joint Statements launched in Australia
April 22, 2015 By Natasha Simons
About the writer: Natasha Simons is a Research Data Management Specialist with the Australian National Data Service, an organisation set up by the Australian Government to enhance the value of data for researchers, research institutions, and the nation as part of its wider National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy. Located at Griffith University in Brisbane, Natasha serves on the Council of Australian University Librarians Research Advisory Committee and is an ORCID Ambassador.
ORCID is continuing to attract a high level of interest and enthusiasm in the Australian research sector, reflected in attendance at two national roundtables and the issuing of an ORCID Joint Statement of Principle endorsed by Universities Australia, the Australasian Research Management Society, the Council of Australian University Librarians and the Australian National Data Service. Australia's two major research funding agencies, the Australian Research Council and the National Health and Medical Research Council, have also issued a joint statement on ORCID and are looking to integrate it into their grant application systems.
On 14 April 2015 at an ORCID Implementers Roundtable in Canberra, the Joint Statement of Principle: ORCID – Connecting Researchers and Research was launched by representatives of Universities Australia (UA), the Australasian Research Management Society (ARMS), the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) and the Australian National Data Service (ANDS). The statement, which has been endorsed by all four organisations, proposes that Australia's research sector broadly embrace the use of ORCID as a common researcher identifier. It states:
As a matter of principle we:
1. Recognise the value of unique researcher identifiers in reducing red tape, increasing efficiency, improving data quality, integrating disparate data, promoting the reuse of data, and enhancing the online presence of Australian research to the global market; and
2. Commit to support the use of ORCID as a common researcher identifier.
On the same day, Australia's two major research funding agencies – the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and the Australian Research Council (ARC) – also released a joint statement on ORCID in which they encouraged all researchers applying for funding to have an ORCID identifier.
In July 2014 ANDS and CAUL co-hosted a very successful ORCID Roundtable in Canberra to explore institutional perspectives and facilitate discussion around a possible national approach to ORCID adoption. The Roundtable brought together heads of Research Offices and University Libraries from across the country, along with representatives of the Australian Research Council, the National Health and Medical Research Council and government-funded research institutions. Laurel Haak, Executive Director of ORCID, also attended the Roundtable providing the international context of ORCID adoption and enabling a direct line of communication for questions.
One of the outcomes of the Roundtable was an action to explore the possibility of a common position/statement/principle on researcher identification between CAUL, ARMS, ARC and NHMRC. An example of such a statement was provided in the European Commission H2020 Grantee Guidelines. ANDS therefore co-ordinated a small ORCID working group comprised of representatives from CAUL, ARMS, ARC, NHMRC, and UA. Over a very short period of time, the working group drafted the Joint Statement of Principle and facilitated its path through various executive meetings. CAUL, ARMS, UA and ANDS officially endorsed the Joint Statement. The ARC and NHMRC provided input into the Joint Statement through their participation in the working group and released their own joint statement. Both statements were released on the same day as the ORCID Implementers Roundtable, which was attended by representatives of research institutions from across the country in addition to representatives of the funding agencies, Thomson Reuters, Elsevier and Digital Science. Laurel Haak and Robert Peters, ORCID Technical Developer, also attended the 2015 roundtable.
The Joint Statement of Principle acknowledges "unique identification of researchers is difficult for research institutions, publishers, funding bodies and researchers themselves, making it problematic to accurately link research publications, data and other research activities to the right researcher." It recognises that the use of ORCID in Australia will have many tangible benefits, for our researchers, research institutions, funding agencies and the nation overall. The Statement lists the many benefits of ORCID for researchers, for the university/research institution/agency, and for the nation. It highlights international and local adoption of ORCID, noting a significant number of Australian institutions have either joined ORCID or are considering membership, and concludes with a consideration of implementation options that identifies key issues as privacy, cost and communication.
The NHMRC and ARC joint statement identifies similar benefits, stating, "The use of ORCID may help streamline research administration and reporting for researchers and administering institutions through facilitating disambiguation of researchers and research outputs and enabling the linking and reuse of high quality, persistent data such as publications and research grants." In 2014, the NHMRC enabled the inclusion of researchers' ORCID identifiers when applying for grants and the ARC is considering a similar move.
Linda O'Brien, who represented the Council of Australian University Librarians on the ORCID working group said, "This provides an exciting opportunity to increase the visibility, and hence the impact, of the great work of Australia's researchers. I was delighted to be part of a great team who have worked collaboratively to develop, and to garner support from their respective organisations, for the Joint Statement of Principle."
ARMS Treasurer, Michelle Duryea, who represented the ARMS Executive Committee on the working group said, "Several research-leading nations, such as the United Kingdom and Denmark, are in the process of integrating ORCID identifiers into their local systems. The adoption of ORCID across the Australian research sector will position us as a global leader in research management practices and contribute to Australia being viewed favourably as a collaborative partner. I encourage our members in New Zealand and Singapore to also consider similar ORCID adoption initiatives."
Ross Wilkinson, Executive Director of the Australian National Data Service said, "Addressing national challenges at the global scale requires Australian researchers to be connected into the global research network. ORCID will make these connections easier."
The two ORCID joint statements signal a significant step forward for the Australian research sector in a relatively short space of time. However, the benefits of ORCID won't be realised by simply stating our support. The challenge ahead is to turn the words – and the enthusiasm behind them – into action. To this end, the ORCID working group comprised of representatives from UA, CAUL, ARMS, ANDS, and more recently the Australian Access Federation (AAF), will continue to work with the Universities Australia Deputy Vice Chancellor's Research group, the ARC, NHMRC and other publicly-funded research agencies to progress options for sector-wide adoption of ORCID, including potential joint licensing and implementation approaches.

Investigative Group
Attorney Lin Wood Hasn't Voted In Republican Primary Since 2004, Georgia Secretary Of State's Office Confirms
Stephen Chernin/Getty Images
Andrew Kerr Investigative Reporter
December 03, 2020 12:19 PM ET
"Stop the Steal" attorney Lin Wood has not voted in a Republican primary since 2004, the Georgia Secretary of State's office told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Wood said during a rally Wednesday that Republicans ought not to vote in Georgia's runoff elections in January that will determine the fate of the Senate because they'll be rigged.
Wood has a history of donating to Democrats and Republicans, Georgia state and federal election records show.
Attorney Lin Wood, who said at a rally Wednesday that Georgia Republicans ought not to vote in the state's upcoming runoff elections that will determine whether the GOP holds onto the Senate, hasn't voted in a Republican primary since 2004.
"It is accurate that he has not voted in a Republican primary since 2004," Georgia Secretary of State spokesman Walter Jones told the Daily Caller News Foundation on Thursday.
Candice Broce, the communications director for Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, tweeted a graphic Wednesday afternoon showing that Wood voted in the state's Democratic primaries in 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2018. Broce said the graphic "has been confirmed accurate by the Georgia Secretary of State's Office."

Wood and former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell called on Georgia Republicans during a "Stop the Steal" rally on Wednesday to withhold their votes for GOP Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Purdue in the upcoming Senate runoff elections in January, saying it would be "another rigged election."
"They have not earned your vote," Wood said at the rally. "Don't give it to them. Why would you go back and vote in another rigged election for God's sake!"
Here's Lin Wood telling Georgia Republicans NOT to vote for Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue next month.
"They have not earned your vote. Don't you give it to them. Why would you go back and vote in another rigged election for god's sake! Fix it! You gotta fix it!" pic.twitter.com/Uvj1QIpqFL
— Justin Baragona (@justinbaragona) December 2, 2020
If Loeffler and Purdue lose to their Democratic challengers in the upcoming elections, Democrats will take control of the Senate.
Wood also accused Kemp of being a foreign agent working for China during the rally. And on Tuesday, Wood called on Trump in a tweet to suspend the Constitution and declare martial law so the military can oversee a national re-vote for the 2020 elections, which he says was rigged.
Records first reported by Breitbart News from the Georgia Campaign Finance Commission show that Wood has contributed nearly $40,000 to Democratic candidates and groups since 2006, including a $1,000 contribution to a Georgia-based PAC in 2010 dedicated to electing pro-choice Democratic women. The records also show that Wood donated $6,600 to Kemp in 2018.
Wood also contributed $100 to Purdue's Democratic challenger in the Georgia 2014 elections, Michelle Nunn, Federal Election Commission records show.
FEC records show that Wood contributed a combined $2,300 to former President Barack Obama's campaign in 2008 and a total of $500 to former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards in 2004.
However, FEC records also show that Wood has contributed a substantial amount to Republican groups and causes, including $380,000 to the Trump Victory Committee, $251,000 to the Republican National Committee, $10,000 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee and over $15,000 to the Trump campaign.
Prominent supporters of Trump came out against Wood after his comments Wednesday. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Trump Allies Go After Former Democrat 'Con Artists' Lin Wood And Sidney Powell Over Georgia Senate Runoff Comments)
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Thursday morning that Wood and Powell are "totally destructive," saying their "don't vote strategy will cripple America. A Trump campaign-operated Twitter account highlighted Breitbart's report covering Wood's contributions to Democratic candidates.
Wood defended his comments Thursday morning on Twitter, saying the November election in Georgia was "unlawful & unconstitutional," and that the state needs to fix its election system before the January runoffs.
"I am not Democrat. I am not Republican. I am an American Patriot who believes it is essential to our freedom that [Trump's] victory be recognized & fraud in voting system be fixed," Wood tweeted.
Today is a good day to make clear that I agree 100% with @EmeraldRobinson.
I am not Democrat. I am not Republican. I am an American Patriot who believes it is essential to our freedom that @realDonaldTrump victory be recognized & fraud in voting system be fixed. https://t.co/dIc7gvCqHj
— Lin Wood (@LLinWood) December 3, 2020
Wood did not respond to email and phone inquiries directed at his eponymous law firm.

Premier Diet Keto Review
Is It Just Another Shark Tank Product?
If you're considering the purchase of the Premier Diet Keto supplement chances are you're already familiar with the basics of ketosis. But for those that aren't we'll provide a quick refresher.
Under normal circumstances, the body uses carbohydrates as fuel. When the body is starved of carbs, the liver begins to produce what are called "ketone bodies" which are then used to metabolize fat into energy. When this happens, a person is said to be in "ketosis." Because the body is burning fat as its primary energy source weight loss during ketosis is often dramatic.
As awareness of this phenomenon spread in recent years more and more people have taken to using the low-carb "keto diet," to achieve the rapid and sustainable weight loss, they were unable to obtain through other means. But it's not easy. It takes determination and commitment. As such folks have been searching for a way to mimic keto-like effects without having to adhere to a strict low-carb lifestyle for the rest of their lives and products like this Premier Keto Diet, have sprouted up to meet the demand.
What is Premier Diet Keto?
This supplement is one of a slew of recently introduced supplements that aim to let people enjoy many of the benefits of the diet without having to change their entire relationship to food in the process.
Instead, products like this claim to be able to produce keto-like fat burning effects over a short period. But do they? Does it work? Let's take a look.
What are Ingredients in Premier Diet Keto?
You might have seen this product by Shark Tank where it was subjected to some pretty intense scrutiny by Mark Cuban and his investor buddies. The product emerged with an endorsement (not all products on the show do), and since then vast numbers of people from coast to coast and beyond have expressed interest in it. But that alone is not proof that it works. To determine the likelihood of that we need first to take a look at the Premier Diet Keto ingredients.
Hydroxycitric acid - Hydroxycitric acid, commonly referred to as HCA, is known in athletic circles for its ability to enhance both the intensity and duration of the physical performance. Some have claimed that HCA aids in fat burning and is, therefore, a valuable tool in the weight loss toolbox. However, while it seems apparent that HCA helps people lose weight, it's likely that said weight loss is more a function of HCA's ability to suppress appetite rather than burn fat.
Ginger - Ginger is one of the wildcards of traditional Chinese medicine used for everything from alleviating headaches to calming the stomach to lowering blood pressure and more. It has also demonstrated an ability to help boost the immune system, provide faster recovery after vigorous workouts and perhaps most importantly, help you feel full faster. Feeling full is essential if one is to control food intake and give ketosis and keto-like effects the best chance to produce positive results.
BHB - Beta-hydroxybutyrate or BHB is one of the first ketone bodies the liver produces when it is undergoing the shift to ketosis. Its job is simple: to seek out fat and metabolize it into fuel for the body. The actual chemical and physiological mechanisms underpinning BHB are extraordinarily complex but suffice to say that without it, ketosis would be impossible. Being that it is such a key player in the keto dynamic its inclusion here makes perfect sense.
Avocado - Avocado is rich in healthy fats, and as such it makes an ideal addition to the ingredient list here. After all, BHB is intended to mimic keto effects and help trick your body into burning fat. Therefore, you need to give it fats to burn, especially if you have already lost much of your body fat to the low-carb lifestyle. So, while some will scratch their heads when seeing this on the ingredient list, it makes perfect sense here from the perspective of creating a well-rounded supplement.
L-Arginine - There is a mounting body of evidence that L-arginine may help promote weight loss when used in conjunction with a low carb lifestyle. It's also shown promise aiding in the production of lean, strong muscles. Some studies have concluded that L-arginine may help set the stage for fat burning while at the same time helping to minimize the production of new fat cells. When taken together, these abilities to promote weight loss, prevent the generation of new fat cells and build lean, healthy muscle make it an ideal ingredient in a keto-related supplement.
None of the above-listed ingredients are known to produce any remarkable side effects when taken as directed with the possible exception of ginger. When taken in excessive amounts ginger may lead to heartburn, diarrhea, easy bruising, bleeding or skin irritation.
L-arginine too may produce some less than pleasant side effects if taken in excess. Those symptoms may include elevated heart rate, skin rash, dizziness, and coughing. These are based on other Premier Diet Keto reviews as well.
Bear in mind as well that there are some artificial fillers in play here too. So if you're looking for an all-natural experience, you may want to give Premier Keto Diet a pass.
The Bottom Line: Is Premier Diet Keto The Best?
There's little doubt that the ingredients in this supplement are potentially game changers when it comes to your overall health and well-being.
That said, however, Premier Diet Keto reviews reveal a notable number of apparently dissatisfied individuals. Perhaps what the proprietary ingredient list is hiding is the fact that the makers of this product have not included enough of any of the ingredients to make a quantifiable difference when it comes to fat burning.
As such, we do not recommend it to our readers but we do have another Shark Tank product that we have also tested and actually proved effective.
Purefit Keto is a BHB supplement that can actually get you into ketosis. With its effective ingredients, you will be losing weight in no time. With its feature on Shark Tank, there's no doubt why this supplement has gotten so much traction in the world of keto. If you're ready to take the plunge on Purefit Keto, click the button above.
