Who's hot and who's not for the Baltimore Orioles:
| Rotation | ||
|
|
Zach Britton | Dropped back-to-back solid starts before yesterday's stinker. First start of the week yielded 8Ks over 7 innings. Yesterday's started yield 5 ERs and 5 BBs over 3.1 innings. |
|
|
Wei-Yin Chen | Has gotten homer-happy of late.....that's not good news for the Orioles. |
|
|
Miguel Gonzalez | The line for his start in Toronto looks pretty bad, but it was negatively affected by a bloop hit and some inherited runners scored. |
|
|
Jason Hammel |
Very solid in his first start after a lengthy DL stint. Took a shot off the elbow and still gutted out 5 good innings. |
|
|
Joe Saunders |
Allowed two runs over 5.1 innings, including two walks and two strikeouts. |
| Bullpen | ||
|
|
Jake Arrieta | Equally unimpressive in his first action since early July as he was before he was sent down to AAA in the first place. |
|
|
Luis Ayala | Saw some action in two games, both losses. Was nothing special in either game. |
|
|
Kevin Gregg | Still bad at pitching. |
|
|
Tommy Hunter | He was actually pretty solid in relief. |
|
|
Jim Johnson | A bit rocky, but got the job done. |
|
|
Steve Johnson | Some solid relief innings. Totally possible he gets a start this week if the O's plan to give Chen extra rest. |
|
|
Brian Matusz | Not really sure what to say here. |
|
|
Darren O'Day | He's been really good lately. Really good. |
|
|
Zach Phillips | Here to provide depth, but lining up alongside Kevin Gregg in mop-up duty. |
|
|
Pedro Strop | Not stropping opposing hitters dead in their tracks like he was earlier in the season. Here's hoping he gets that figured out. |
|
|
Chris Tillman | DNP |
|
|
Randy Wolf | Better than than his final line suggests. He had at least two strikeouts that weren't..... |
| Lineup | ||
|
|
Robert Andino | The good news is that two of his three hits this week were homers. The bad news is that he only had three hits in 20 ABs. Solid defensively. |
|
|
Xavier Avery | Saw one AB yesterday. Bound to get some more opportunities with Nicky out for the remainder of the regular season. |
|
|
Wilson Betemit | Also in line to get some more opportunities with Nicky out. Serviceable DH depending on who is pitching.... |
|
|
Chris Davis | Average at the plate, but did hit his 24th homer of the year and walked twice. Will get some outfield reps. |
|
|
Ryan Flaherty | One AB. |
|
|
Lew Ford | Only played in two games but was pretty huge in the one full game he did play. |
|
|
J.J. Hardy | He's been surprisingly good at the plate lately. |
|
|
Adam Jones | Eleven for 28 in the last seven days with 3 homers and 2 doubles. Solid! |
|
|
Manny Machado | Hit for the cycle this week with a solid 8 for 28 at the plate. |
|
|
Nick Markakis | If ever there was time for the red cross, it's now. Hitting extremely well atop a lineup about to see its first meaningful action in years and he breaks a thumb. You'll be missed, Nicky. |
|
|
Nate McLouth | Hit 8 for 22 this week. Needs to step up big with Markakis shelved and will certainly see his opportunities. |
|
|
Omar Quintanilla | Still anonymous. |
|
|
Mark Reynolds | Five of his 7 hits this week were homers. |
|
|
Taylor Teagarden | Going to see limited action with the O's chasing a playoff spot. |
|
|
Steve Tolleson | Sorta surprising to see him as the DH in yesterday's game. |
|
|
Matt Wieters | Not the best week for Wieters. O's really need his bat to come around here. |
