Who's hot and who's not among the Orioles this week
| Rotation | ||
| With the exception of the first inning in yesterday's game, Arrieta was excellent this week, allowing just 9 hits and 3 ER over 12 innnings. Did issue six walks in the process, but nothing too ridiculous. Anybody else see that curveball yesterday? | ||

Not pitching terribly, but still a victim of the long ball. Jeremy Guthrie offers his condolences. | |
|
|
Three of his four starts, including one this week in Minnesota, have been solid. Not bad there, rookie. Is a ROY in the......no....not going to jinx it. | |
| Orioles still not sending anybody home depressed. One wonders how the Duke feels about Brian Roberts killing the save op for Mariano Rivera, however. | ||

Jeremy Guthrie |
Best starter on the team so far, but has just a 1-3 record to show for it. Can't complain about his outing in against Minnesota this week. Two ER through 7 innings results in his first career loss to the Twins. Tough luck, Guts. |
|
|
Apparently he's throwing without pain. Guess that's good news. | |

Nice recovery after a horrible start against the Yankees last week. Minnesota isn't scoring a whole heck of a lot though, so he'll need another good start to earn his up arrow. |

Pitching reasonably well, but required outstanding defense to bail him out. | |
|
|
Flawless in his first 6 outings this season. Not so flawless in the last two. Won't even bother posting his line over his past two games (it was that brutal). What gives, Jason? | |
|
|
Seems programmed to allow at least a run every time he pitches. This is getting ridiculous. | |
|
|
Speaking of getting brutal.......although he did have a save this week, so there's that. | |
|
|
Jim Johnson | Two innings, no runs allowed. Good stuff, JJ. Why can't they all be like you? |
|
|
This guy has creepy teeth. This guy also has a 16.20 ERA. | |
|
|
Got positively shelled in that 15-3 loss to the Yankees....but let's face it: who didn't? | |
|
|
That one ER allowed against Minnesota tarnishes a pretty good line so far. | |

Don't look now, but the guy is picking up a few hits and probably should have scored the winning run in yesterday's game before |
|

One for seven this week, although that single yesterday was pretty clutch. | |
|
|
Had himself a pretty solid series against Minnesota. Had 2 hits in three of the four games, including a HR in each of the wins. | |
|
|
Remains on the DL, but is apparently progressing. | |
| Why is he here again? | ||
|
|
Improved at the plate this week and totally gunned downed Cap'n Jeets at the plate yesterday. That'll do in a pinch. | |
|
|
That .570 OPS is horrible, but he did pick up a few hits this week (although none when it mattered). | |

Saw a couple of PH opportunites this week, but didn't record a hit. | |
|
|
Just one hit this week (it was a HR) and lots of Ks. That error yesterday didn't help. | |
|

Brian Roberts |
Another swell week for B-Rob. Seven hits and |

OPS now stands at an ominous .666, which is somewhat ironic considering it was Easter Sunday. | |

Better week at the plate. Totally wrecked Jeter when he tried to tag from third....that deserves an up arrow in and of itself. |
