Pitchers |
|
|
Brad Brach |
 |
Faced all of one batter and struck him out on 3 pitches. |
Zach Britton |
 |
Best week of the season (to date)? Four innings, 7 Ks. No hits, no walks. That works. |
Wei-Yin Chen |
 |
Tossed a season high 8 innings and allowed just 5 hits. Struck out three and did not allow an earned run. |
Kevin Gausman |
 |
Three walks and seven hits are not ideal, but allowed just 1 run in 6.2 innings. Also induced a season high 10 GB outs. |
Miguel Gonzalez |
 |
Allowed only 3 ER in 13.2 innings pitched (two starts). Like Gausman, the walks and the hits are not ideal, but he kept himself out of trouble. |
Tommy Hunter |
 |
The runs charged to Hunter were the result of Matusz, but still, you can't walk 3 guys over an inning plus and just hope for the best. |
Brian Matusz |
 |
Okay, he's having a decent July. Gave up some inherited runs in games that were ultimately decided by a run, but he's actually been okay beyond that. |
T.J. McFarland |
 |
He's still the mop up guy, but that's not really the role he deserves. He's been quietly effective and now owns a 3.07 ERA for the season. |
Bud Norris |
 |
Also had a two start week, but didn't post the results that MiGo did. First start was excellent, as he held the Angels to just 1 ER in 6+ innings (8 Ks), but in the second, his command was not as sharp. |
Darren O'Day |
 |
The home run yesterday was killer, but you'd be hard-pressed to find any middle reliever who's been that much better than O'Day. |
Chris Tillman |
 |
Came away with a no-decision in a game where he allowed just 1 ER in 6 innings. Nothing flashy (2 BB, 3 K), but effective. |
Ryan Webb |
 |
Also faced just one batter, thanks to some longer starts from the SPs. |
Catchers |
|
|
Nick Hundley |
 |
Handling of the pitching staff aside, these 1-12 weeks are probably helping to fuel those Kurt Suzuki rumors. |
Caleb Joseph |
 |
5-15 with 2 doubles. Currently riding a 4 game hit streak. |
Infielders |
|
|
Chris Davis |
 |
Kind of turrible, but he did walk 3 times and that 10th inning homer was huge. Huge! |
Ryan Flaherty |
 |
Got some extra playing time thanks to Machado's back and responded with just 2 hits in 19 trips. |
J.J. Hardy |
 |
Just 5 hits in 28 trips. Three doubles, but his SLG is dipping even further away from his career average. |
Manny Machado |
 |
Sat out most of the week with a balky back. |
Jonathan Schoop |
 |
Still over-matched at the plate, but hey, that homer was nice. |
Outfielders |
|
|
Nelson Cruz |
 |
Only 4 hits, but one happened to be a homer off of Felix Hernandez. |
Adam Jones |
 |
Had a rough series in Seattle, but came on strong late with 2 doubles |
David Lough |
 |
2-5....that's not bad! |
Nick Markakis |
 |
A week similar to Hardy's, but it's somewhat more noticeable from your leadoff guy. |
Steve Pearce |
 |
#teamsteve kind of disappeared with only 1 hit per series on the west coast (2 games per series). |
Delmon Young |
 |
Another guy who has been quietly good this season. |
Disabled List |
|
|
Ubaldo Jimenez |
 |
Hurt himself walking across a parking lot. Take all the time you need, Ubaldo. |
Matt Wieters |
 |
No update. |
