Who's hot and who's not for your Baltimore Orioles:
| Rotation | ||
|
|
Zach Britton | Absolutely brilliant start versus the Angels. Over 7 innings, Zach allowed just 1 run on 3 hits while striking out 7 batters. That's the Britton we all remember from earlier in the season! |
|
|
Jeremy Guthrie | Guts got two starts this week and recorded wins in both (he's now on a three-start winning streak). He was somewhat more hittable against Boston than he was in Tampa, but he was (for the most part) effective in both starts. |
|
|
Tommy Hunter | Notched his best start since coming over to the Orioles in the Koji Uehara trade. Went 7 innings and was tagged with 7 hits, but did not allow a run. |
|
|
Brian Matusz | Sigh. |
|
|
Alfredo Simon | Knocked around by the Angels, allowing 6 earned runs over 5 innings (including three home runs). |
|
|
Rick VandenHurk | Did not pitch. Gets the start in tonight's game. |
| Bullpen | ||
|
|
Jeremy Accardo | Made it through one clean inning against LA before getting mauled last night in Boston. |
|
|
Brad Bergesen | Struggled in two straight relief appearances. |
|
|
Jason Berken | A bit wild last night, but was fairly effective over two relief appearances. |
|
|
Willie Eyre | Only 1.1 innings of relief, but at least it was scoreless. |
|
|
Kevin Gregg | He's absolutely horrible. |
|
|
Chris Jakubauskas | Blasted for 5 runs in the second game of yesterday's double-header. Just a bad pitching game all around. |
|
|
Jim Johnson | Allowed a run this week, but shook it off and got the save in the first game of the double-header. |
|
|
Troy Patton | Followed up his first win by allowing a run in less than an inning of relief. |
|
|
Zach Phillips | Has yet to allow a run during his short tenure on the Baltimore staff. |
|
|
Clay Rapada | Even creepy teeth allowed a run yesterday. |
|
|
Jo-Jo Reyes | Also pretty horrible. Ex-Blue Jays seem to have a history of not pitching well in Baltimore. |
|
|
Pedro Strop | Also has not allowed a run during his short tenure on the Baltimore staff. |
| Lineup | ||
|
|
Ryan Adams | Getting fewer and fewer appearances as Andino improves. |
|
|
Robert Andino | Nothing special, but he's showing that he can handle the everyday duties at 2B. Just set a career high in home runs (4). |
|
|
Matt Angle | Not hitting much, but stealing bases and taking walks. Needs to improve at the plate, but maybe that will come as he gets more playing time. |
|
|
Josh Bell | Not good at baseball. Continues to litter his limited playing time with a wellspring of strikeouts. |
|
|
Chris Davis | Got his OPS up to a slightly more respectable level this week. |
|
|
Pedro Florimon | 5 ABs and 4 soul-crushing strikeouts. |
|
|
Jake Fox | Hardly played. |
|
|
Vladimir Guerrero | Best hitter on the team! I mean...look at his batting average! |
|
|
J.J. Hardy | Would love to see him top 30 home runs this year. |
|
|
Kyle Hudson | Stinks. |
|
|
Adam Jones | DNP for most of the week due to a thumb injury. |
|
|
Nick Markakis | It is sorta painful to watch him because you KNOW he COULD be good and probably could hit for power if he actually lifted weights every once in a while. |
|
|
Nolan Reimold | Couple of nice games this week. Added three home runs. |
|
|
Mark Reynolds | Closing in on 40 home runs. 182 soul-crushing strikeouts. |
|
|
Craig Tatum | Maximum Tater: can't hit or play much in the way of defense. |
|
|
Matt Wieters | Hitting like a champ. |
