Who's hot and who's not for the Baltimore Orioles:
| Rotation | ||
|
|
Jake Arrieta | Continues his downward spiral with two pretty awful starts. Over the past seven days, Arrieta has pitched 9 innings and allowed 10 ER with 7 BB (compared to 8 Ks). |
|
|
Wei-Yin Chen | Struggled in his lone start this week. In 5+ innings, allowed 5 ER and 4 BB. |
|
|
Jason Hammel | Tough to rate this week since his start wasn't terrible....if you forget that the 4 runs he allowed all came off of solo home runs. |
|
|
Brian Matusz | Seems to be finding a bit of a groove. Solid last week and followed up with 7+ in Tampa allowing just 1 ER on 2 hits. Did walk three, but K'd seven. |
| Bullpen | ||
|
|
Luis Ayala | Only pitched an inning over two appearances. Allowed 1 ER (2 total) on two hits. |
|
|
Dana Eveland | Didn't even pitch a full inning and gave up 2 ER in yesterday's 4 run loss to Tampa. |
|
|
Miguel Gonzalez | Got promoted as the O's don't need a 5th starter until June 9. Got 3+ innings in his first (and only) appearance. Struck out 5 while allowing 1 ER. |
|
|
Kevin Gregg | Nothing to see here. |
|
|
Jim Johnson | Still hasn't blown a save, although not getting many opportunities these days.... |
|
|
Darren O'Day | Continuing on in solid fashion. WHIP currently at 0.80 for the year. |
|
|
Troy Patton | Pitching really well these days. Saw 2+ innings of relief and notched 5Ks. |
|
|
Pedro Strop | Fairly uneventful week. |
| Lineup | ||
|
|
Robert Andino | Still slumping. Went just 3 for 22 (.136) this past week, although he did have a double in yesterday's game. |
|
|
Wilson Betemit | Just 4 for 19 (.211) this week with no extra-base hits. |
|
|
Endy Chavez | One hit in 15 ABs, although that one hit was a homer (his first of the year). Sigh. |
|
|
Chris Davis | Like the rest of the offense, Davis struggled (4 for 19), but tacked on a homer and two RBI. |
|
|
Ryan Flaherty | Even with injuries, Flaherty isn't seeing much playing time. When he actually does get in the lineup, he doesn't hit. |
|
|
Bill Hall | Caught up in the seemingly constant (of late) roster turnover and DFA'd yet again. |
|
|
J.J. Hardy | Probably not the best when a 7 for 25 week (and only one XBH) gets you an up arrow. That's pretty much the week for the O's. |
|
|
Nick Johnson | Almost forgot he was even on the team. |
|
|
Adam Jones | Eight for 21 with 2 homers! Nice week. Best news: MRI on the wrist came back negative and Jones expects to be in tomorrow's lineup. That noise you just heard was a big sigh of relief. |
|
|
Nick Markakis | Out a month with a small fracture in his wrist. Not good. |
|
|
Ronny Paulino | Minimal playing time, but went 2 for 6 with 2 doubles. |
|
|
Steve Pearce | Welcome to Baltimore. |
|
|
Mark Reynolds | 7 for 22 with a homer, 2 doubles, 4 RBI, and 4 walks. That works. |
|
|
Steve Tolleson | Two for seven this week. Not much to see, really. |
|
|
Matt Wieters | Something of a slump-busting week for Wieters. Hit 7-21 with a homer and 2 RBI. |
