Who's hot and who's not for the Baltimore Orioles:
| Rotation | |
|
|
|
Jake Arrieta | Popped for 4 runs against the Mets (which actually lowered his ERA), but rebounded with a very solid outing against the Nationals. In two starts vs. Washington this season, Arrieta has allowed 11 hits and 2 runs, while striking out 14. |
|
|
Wei-Yin Chen | Was not particularly sharp in Saturday's start vs. Washington. Of course, he was hurt a bit by the defensive combo of Betemit and Reynolds, but still allowed 6 hits and walked two over 5 innings. |
|
|
Jason Hammel | Dazzling start against Washington (5 hits and 1 unearned run) produced a career-high of 10 strikeouts. |
|
|
Tommy Hunter | Wouldn't be a Tommy Hunter start without a home run. Although he might get more starts since the O's recently released Jamie Moyer. |
|
|
Brian Matusz | Continues to struggle with consistency, efficiency. |
| Bullpen | ||
|
|
Luis Ayala | Threw a couple of innings. |
|
|
Dana Eveland | Pitched fine in an inning+, but will be placed on paternity leave. |
|
|
Kevin Gregg | Still on the roster. |
|
|
Jim Johnson | Three scoreless innings produced two saves. |
|
|
Darren O'Day | Just 1 IP this week. |
|
|
Troy Patton | Another solid week has his ERA down to 3.18 |
|
|
Pedro Strop | Continuing to excel in the setup role. |
|
Lineup |
|
|
|
|
Robert Andino | Saw extremely limited playing time this week. |
|
|
Wilson Betemit | Another solid week, hitting-wise (.462 with a homer). Just keep him away from lefties....and the playing field. |
|
|
Chris Davis | Showing some versatility (well, forced versatility), but stuck in an 0 for 17 slump. |
|
|
Ryan Flaherty | Nothing new. |
|
|
J.J. Hardy | Just 3 for 24 at the plate and did not take a walk. |
|
|
Nick Johnson | Two for seven with two walks, but actually got a little playing time! |
|
|
Adam Jones | At 4 for 23, this was one of Adam's worst weeks at the plate. Line drive off of the foul pole on Saturday night was pretty cool though. |
|
|
Ronny Paulino | Played in only two games. |
|
|
Steve Pearce | Rather ugly 1 for 14 week, including a bases-loaded popup. |
|
|
Mark Reynolds | Kinda bad all around this week. |
|
|
Brian Roberts | Went 4 for 22, but walked 3 times and seems to be back working the counts again. |
|
|
Steve Tolleson | Saw limited action. |
|
|
Matt Wieters | Don't run on Matt Wieters. |
