Who's hot and who's not for your Baltimore Orioles:
Rotation | ||
|
Zach Britton | Followed up a great start with a much less effective outing. Got the "win," but that doesn't cover the fact he labored through 5 innings while allowing 5 earned runs (and walking 4 batters). |
|
Jeremy Guthrie | Not the most solid of outings Saturday in Detroit, but it got the job done. He's been pitching better of late. |
|
Tommy Hunter | See above (although Detroit is arguably a more fierce lineup than Boston right now). |
|
Brian Matusz | Sigh. ERA up again after his most recent start. But its okay guys! Buck says he's going to go home this offseason and magically figure it all out. |
|
Alfredo Simon | Although the team lost the game, Simon pitched a solid 8 innings, allowing 3 earned runs on 6 hits (just 1 walk). |
|
Rick VandenHurk | Not making much of a case to be a starter next year. |
Bullpen | ||
|
Jeremy Accardo | Pitched just one inning this week. |
|
Brad Bergesen | Looking increasingly less effective as the season comes to a close. Has been tagged for multiple earned runs in his last several appearances. |
|
Jason Berken | Pitched two solid innings in one appearance. |
|
Willie Eyre | Looked solid for a few outings before giving up the winning run on Friday in Detroit. |
|
Kevin Gregg | His streak of innings without allowing a run now stands at three. |
|
Chris Jakubauskas | He's been much less effective lately as well. |
|
Jim Johnson | Mr. Reliable just doing what he does. Three innings....just one hit. |
|
Troy Patton | Did not pitch. |
|
Zach Phillips | Saw one batter and did not get him out. |
|
Clay Rapada | Looked pretty sharp in that suit.....almost like he'd worn it before. Also looks like Buck has finally figured out what situations to use him in. |
|
Jo-Jo Reyes | Picked up 3 innings of solid scoreless relief against Boston. |
|
Pedro Strop | Allowed his first run as an Oriole, but bounced back. |
Lineup | ||
|
Ryan Adams | DNP. Sports hernia has ended his season. |
|
Robert Andino | He isn't the best, but continues to show himself as a suitable fill-in while Brian Roberts is on the shelf. |
|
Matt Angle | Getting the up this week for his leadoff homer off of Verlander. |
|
Josh Bell | Hardly played. |
|
Chris Davis | Continues to show flashes of decency, but still maintaining an a sub-.700 OPS. |
|
Pedro Florimon | Cheers for his first career RBI. |
|
Jake Fox | Seeing very limited action, but did go 2 for 2 in his one appearance. |
|
Vladimir Guerrero | Getting 8 million to hit singles. |
|
J.J. Hardy | One homer shy of 30 for the year. |
|
Kyle Hudson | Hitless for the week. |
|
Adam Jones | A number of hits this week, but the OPS continues to drop towards .750 |
|
Nick Markakis | OPS at a season-high of .758 (as is the OBP with .351). |
|
Nolan Reimold | Solid week at the plate for Moldy. Average still at a meager .246, but OPS closing in on .800 |
|
Mark Reynolds | Up to 37 home runs and has his OPS back over .800....will he get to 40 bombs this year? Time's running out.... |
|
Craig Tatum | Maximum Tater: OPS down to a sub-Izturian .475 |
|
Matt Wieters | Capping off a great end to the season. |
