Who's hot and who's not among the Orioles this week
| Rotation | ||
|
|
Pretty brilliant vs. Kansas City in his one start this week. Allowed just 1 run on 3 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 2. Lucky for him, the bullpen actually held the lead and Jake got his 4th win of the season. |
|
|
|
Brad Bergesen | Struggled somewhat in two starts this week. Gave up 3 ER in 5 innings during a start in Kansas City and was pulled after just over 4 innings against Tampa Bay yesterday where he was tagged for 5 runs. Now 0-4 on the season. Could the bullpen be the next home for Bergesen when a certain lefty returns or will a bus trip to Norfolk be in cards? |
|
-- |
Hurled his shortest outing of the year (5.1 innings) against Tampa Bay this week and took his second loss. Still maintaining a sub-3.00 ERA. |
|
|
|
Odds on him actually pitching a game this year? |
|
|
|
Allowed more ER this week (in two starts) than he had allowed in his previous 5 starts. Didn't pitch terribly vs. Chicago and was a victim of the poor offense around him, but Tampa tagged him for 7 runs in just 5 innings. |
|
|
|
Might be back with the team sooner rather than later. Get excited! |
|

Got positively mauled by Kansas City this week, allowing 8 ER in 3.2 innings. Will be fighting Bergesen for the 5th spot in the rotation when Matusz returns....can't imagine he's winning. |

Saw three innings of work this week and allowed 3 ER (one run in each inning). Picked up a blown save in one of the three appearances. | |
|
|
Recovered a bit in his most recent outing, but gave up a run earlier in the week and took the loss. |
|
|
|
Feels really weird to be giving him an up arrow, but the guy got it done this week. Four straight appearances without allowing a run have lowered his ERA from a putrid 13.50 to a still poor (but manageable) 6.75. |
|

|
Okay...we're gettin' better here. Don't look now, but he's gone almost a month without allowing a run. Figure giving him an up arrow would jinx it. |
| -- | Kinda miss the days when we'd be discussing how long JJ would go without giving up a run. Those days might be a thing of the past, but he's still getting the job done on most occasions. |
|
|
|
This guy still has creepy teeth, but his ERA is down to record low 11.12! We're moving up in the world! |
|
|

Gave up a run in a 0.1 inning stint at the beginning of the week, but redeemed himself with 3.2 innings of scoreless relief after Chris Tillman exploded vs. Kansas City. |
|

Struggling some these days, but we've seen worse. Much, much worse. | |

He is who we thought he was. Just two hits this week knocks Andino back down to a .728 OPS. |
|
|
|
Not hitting and not catching. So what DOES he do? |
|
|
-- |
Actually took a few walks this week....huzzah!! Didn't provide much else this week, however. |
|
|
|
Rehabbing in Norfolk and could be back by the end of the week. Dreaming of an Izzy-less infield.... |
|
|
|
Speaking of Izzy.....6 AB this week and he struck out in three of them. Somebody remind us again why he's here..... |
|
|
|
Knows the rules of baseball. That's good to see. Also had a fairly decent week at the plate with a couple of 3-hit games. Fairly decent might be pushing it, but no complaints. |
|

Kind of up and down for Lee. Gets a hit here, doesn't get a hit there. Also loves meaningless late-in-the-game home runs. But hey, at least he's hitting them. |
|
|
|
May or may not be breaking out of the slump. Hard to tell since he follows up a multi-hit game with an 0-fer. Did pick up 9 hits this week which is 100 percent in the right direction. |
|
|
-- |
Can't say he doesn't make the most of PH opportunities. A double yesterday in the 9th inning was nice. Went 0 for 4 in his only start this week. |
|
|
|
Striking out a ton, but is getting on base via the walk. K Tracker: 34 |
|
|
|
Took a nose dive this week with just one hit in 24 ABs. |
|
|
|
Not crushing the ball, but considering how some of the others are hitting, no complaints here. Keep up the good work. |

The failed prospect had just a couple of hits this week, but made a couple of them count with 3 RBI. Robbed of a home run against Tampa by a Sam Fuld leaping grab. |
