Who's hot and who's not for the Baltimore Orioles.
Rotation | ||
Got battered this week in his lone start......against the Nationals. Allowed 6 runs on 6 hits and did not make it out of the 4th inning. Also walked 3 batters over the short span. |
||
Brad Bergesen | Another guy who just got smoked in his one start this week. Allowed 8 runs and didn't make it out of the 4th inning. Also walked 3 batters. |
|
Allowed just a run in 7 innings against the Yankees, lowering his season ERA to a mere 2.14 and his WHIP to 1.05. That's getting it done. |
||
Jeremy Guthrie |
Had a quality start and finally got a win for it. Pitched a solid 7 innings versus the Nationals and allowed just 2 runs on 5 hits. Also pitched an inning in relief to clean up for Gonzo during the 15 inning debacle. |
|
Dominated a rehab assignment and might be back very, very soon. |
||
Throws tons of pitches and should go much deeper into games than he has, but no complaints about 1 run over 5 innings. |
||
Bullpen |
|
|
Gave up the winning runs in extra innings against the Yankees and did nothing to redeem himself outside of giving up more runs. |
||
What happens when you don't pitch well? You go back to the minors, which is exactly where Berken is headed. Started off the season well, but has been simply awful since. Outing versus the Nationals on Friday was the last straw. |
||
It is an absolute atrocity that this guy is still here. Nod if you agree. |
||
|
|
Between Gregg and Gonzalez, O's fans have enough evidence to cite the Orioles for cruel and unusual punishment. |
Allowed 1 run over 4 appearances, but ultimately pitched well. Wish the rest of the bullpen would take notes. |
||
|
Has a chance to get guys out if they hit left-handed. Has no chance against righties. One wonders why he's even allowed to pitch against righties. |
|
Koji Uehara | Three solid appearances this week, one not-so-solid appearance. Three is better than one, so up-arrow. |
|
Lineup | ||
Ryan Adams |
We'll give him the "welcome to the majors" up-arrow since he did pick up his first MLB hit. |
|
-- |
Getting a few more ABs now that Roberts is down, but isn't really doing much with them. |
|
-- |
Didn't get a whole lot of playing time and didn't do a whole lot in that playing time. |
|
Not showing a lot of power, but the guy is making contact. Multi-hit games all week with the exception of yesterday. That "exception" was a two-run home run that would serve as the game-winning run. That'll play. |
||
|
Last week was exceptional. This week....not so much. Just 1 hit in 24 official ABs. |
|
Probably never thought you'd see the day, but Adam Jones has been among the most consistent hitters in the O's lineup. |
||
|
Had a hit in each game he played this week. Huge improvement over past weeks as his slash line returns to a more respectable level. |
|
-- |
Couple of hits and an RBI in a handful of ABs this week. Base-running blunder and 3Ks in 4 ABs yesterday mar his week. | |
-- |
Back with a bang! Hopefully he keeps hitting the bombs. |
|
-- |
Surprisingly good this week with a double in 4 straight games and another home run. K Tracker: 48 |
|
-- |
Nothing exciting this week. Not many hits (2 singles and a double) plus a 4-walk game. |
|
-- |
No D. Lee at first base, but did manage a couple of hits on Saturday. Hope to see him getting into the action. |
|
|
Can't help but find it funny that people still try to run on him. How many times do we have to tell you.... |

Disabled List |
||
Justin Duchscherer | Pitching in simulated games. | |
Cesar Izturis | Can't see him back this year after being placed on the 60-day DL with a nerve issue. | |
Derrek Lee | O's will miss his glove at first base, but his hitting left something to be desired. | |
Brian Roberts | On the "7-day DL" with "concussion-like symptoms." Odds are, he's out much longer than 7 days. Stop sliding head-first, Brian! |
