Rotation | ||
Wei-Yin Chen | Ouch. Bad week. | |
Scott Feldman | Tossed probably his best start as an Oriole (7 innings, 1 ER, 1 BB, and 5 Ks), but still took the loss. | |
Miguel Gonzalez | Got some extra rest so that he could start the first game of the Yankees series. Oops...that one backfired. | |
Bud Norris | Dropped two consecutive solid road starts. Yesterday's outing was the best of the two: 1 ER, 1 BB, 8 Ks. | |
Chris Tillman | Staff ace. | |
Bullpen | ||
Zach Britton | DNP | |
Kevin Gausman | Recalled to add some bullpen depth and contributed three solid (and scoreless) innings. | |
Tommy Hunter | Pitching almost every game, it would seem. Generally achieving success, although he did pick up a loss in a close game last week. | |
Jim Johnson | Two straight saves. New streak! | |
Brian Matusz | Not really doing much to support his "I want to be a starter" campaign. | |
T.J. McFarland | You can basically put the same comment here every week. | |
Darren O'Day | Kind of bad in pressure situations this year, eh? | |
Troy Patton | Quite possibly his worst week of the season. Needs to shape up if the O's want to continue fighting for a playoff spot. | |
Francisco Rodriguez | Not the best numbers, but he did see over 4 innings worth of time. | |
Catchers | ||
Steve Clevenger | Could make his O's debut this week. | |
Chris Snyder | DNP | |
Matt Wieters | Pretty sour month of August, but he's hit well in September over his short career. That trend is off to a good start considering yesterday's game. | |
Infielders | ||
Wilson Betemit | Still hitless this year | |
Alexi Casilla | Not much to say here, although he did take three walks. | |
Chris Davis | Just 5 hits over the week has his average below .300 | |
J.J. Hardy | Like Davis, Hardy also added just 5 hits. | |
Manny Machado | Solid week for Manny included 9 hits (2 doubles, 1 homer). | |
Brian Roberts | Five hits. (Although he had three walks, as well). | |
Danny Valencia | Pretty scorching .571 week for Valencia. | |
Outfielders | ||
Adam Jones | Hmm....five hits. I'm sensing a trend. | |
Nick Markakis | Yep, you guessed it: 5 hits. OPS down to a very, very dismal .688 | |
Nate McLouth |
|
|
Michael Morse | Had as many hits as McLouth in about a quarter of the ABs. Now it's time to see some power. |
