| Rotation |
|
|
| Wei-Yin Chen |
 |
Six straight quality starts, yet the O's have won just three of them. Was pulled after 6 innings and just 72 pitches, but Chen always seems to fall apart later in games regardless of pitch count. |
| Scott Feldman |
 |
Got the week off after a series of poor starts. Here's hoping he recovers with the next one. |
| Miguel Gonzalez |
|
Fly ball pitcher in a decidedly pitchers park is usually an acceptable combination. It worked for MiGo in San Diego, as he made it thrugh 6 innings and allowed only 3 ER (8 strikeouts). Quite the improvement from his two previous outings. |
| Bud Norris |
|
Turned in two starts this week, which combined for 11 innings and 3 ER allowed. Just 7 Ks (4 walks), but Norris was decent in both starts. |
| Chris Tillman |
|
San Francisco is not playing good baseball right now, but Tillman's start on Friday was masterful. |
| Bullpen |
|
|
| Tommy Hunter |
|
Three flawless innings will always play.
|
| Jim Johnson |
 |
The blown saves are a hindrance. At least the O's won that game.
|
| Brian Matusz |
|
Called upon to make just one out.
|
| T.J. McFarland |
|
A short week plus a number of solid outings from the SPs means TJ rides the pine all week.
|
| Darren O'Day |
|
Tossed a perfect four innings. No hits, no walks, and three strikeouts (all in one inning). |
| Troy Patton |
|
Didn't pitch much, but got a win. |
| Francisco Rodriguez |
|
By far his best outings since coming over to the O's. Three innings, no runs, 6 strikeouts. |
| Catchers |
|
|
| Taylor Teagarden |
|
Has not started a game the O's won since mid-June. |
| Matt Wieters |
|
Might be coming around at the plate a bit, but a 4-19 week doesn't really help. Did tally 3 RBI, including a solid 10th inning single to cap an O's victory. |
| Infielders |
|
|
| Alexi Casilla |
|
PH duties only |
| Chris Davis |
|
Bombed homers 41 and 42 en route to a 6-20 week. Also walked 4 times. Double in the 10th on Friday led the O's to victory. |
| Ryan Flaherty |
|
Not much to talk about here. |
| J.J. Hardy |
|
6-19 and three of those were homers. Yeah, that'll work. |
| Manny Machado |
|
A quality 7-24 (.292) at the plate. |
| Brian Roberts |
|
Pretty forgettable week for Roberts. |
| Outfielders |
|
|
| Adam Jones |
|
Absolutely blistering .571 week from Jones. The man is on fiyah. Just on FIYAH. |
| Nick Markakis |
|
Yeah, he went 6-23 at the plate, but can you remember the last time he hit more than a single? I can't either. |
| Nate McLouth |
|
See above. Except he at least had a couple of doubles. And some stolen bases. |
| Steve Pearce |
|
Pretty limited playing time. |
| Henry Urrutia |
|
No DH needed in the NL parks, so Urrutia hardly saw the light of day. |
| Disabled List |
|
|
| Wilson Betemit |
 |
He's been raking for the GCL team while on rehab. |
| Steve Clevenger |
|
No new updates. |
| Jason Hammel |
|
He's going to throw this week. Good news? |
| Nolan Reimold |
|
Out for the year after neck surgery. |
