Zach, Zach, another Zach ???

Believe it or not, the AAA-Tides have had 5 Zach's pitch for them this season (Britton, Philips, Clark, Fowler, and Petersime.) 2 of them (Britton and Phillips) have already been up with the Orioles this season. Can a 3rd be on the way, soon ???

 

Zach Clark's numbers have been excellent for the AAA-Tides this season. Here are his stats from his last 3 games (2 of them were starts, and the only reason why the one in between was a 3-inning bullpen stint was because Brian Matusz only went 5 innings that night, and the game went 12 innings overall ........ hence, they brought Clark in to pitch the 10th, 11th, and 12th innings for the win.) He has since been put back on schedule as a starter, which he did tonight against the AAA-Gwinnett Braves.

He sure looks good. Can't recall why he's been in the minors so long. Not many innings down there, so must have been hurt?

But perhaps Zach may get pushed aside by another Steve. Oh wait, Johnson is here now, so yes, it must be time for another Zach.

Clark just pitched the day before yesterday, but I really would like to see him brought up as a long man very soon. He's not on the 40-man roster, but I'd rather have him in the bullpen than Kevin Gregg. The salary that we still owe him (Gregg) for the rest of this season is less than $1.5 million now.

[DrungoHazewood]

Can't recall why he's been in the minors so long.

4.9 strikeouts per nine during repeated attempts to master AA in his mid-20s is a good guess.

Mediocre outing for Zachary tonight.

Zach Clark is an organizational guy. I won't be surprised if he gets a cup of coffee in the majors one day, but I seriously doubt he will have any sgnificant positive impact for a major league club.

Clark isn't on the 40-man roster, so I'm not sure if he'll get a call-up ........ but he pitched a hell of a game tonight. 

A complete-game shutout, on 95 pitches.

He retired the final 14 batters that he faced, and 17 out of the final 18.

Well, we added a 6th Zach (Braddock) and a Zech (Zinicola) to the AAA/Orioles mix, although Phillips elected to go free agency in November.

Oh, and we have Zach Davies on the Shorebirds' roster.

3 YEARS LATER:

 

An 8h Zach is now in our organization (and yes, like the previously-mentioned other 6 Zachs, he is also a pitcher.)

There is clearly a trend with pitchers named "Zach" attracting themselves to the Orioles' organization. :eektf:

His name is Zach Davies, and he is scheduled to start tomorrow's exhibition game against the Rays:

http://forum.orioleshangout.com/forums/showthread.php/147013-vs-RAYS-3-30?p=3752358#post3752358

Davies has gradually worked his way up the ranks of the Orioles' minor league affiliates.

He pitched a full season for Regular-A Delmarva in 2012, a full season for Advanced-A Frederick in 2013, and another full season for AA-Bowie in 2014.

Statistically, his best season was last season in AA-Bowie, though I have never seen him pitch myself.

 

 

[Nevermore]

Isn't Zach (Zachary) now the most popular name for boys in the US?

[Bahama O's Fan]

Must be the "Saved By The Bell" generation.

I'm glad Zach Davies is getting this opportunity to start a game. Remember, he hasn't had any AAA experience yet, unlike Wilson and Wright.

I did not see the game, but Davies' line looked decent today, particularly for a guy that has yet to pitch any higher than the AA-level (Bowie.)

3.33 Innings Pitched

5 Hits

1 Run

2 Walks

4 Strikeouts

It would be great if Davies could continue his climb up the organizational ranks this year (one full season at each level from Regular-A Delmarva all the way up to AAA-Norfolk.)

Davies toes the rubber again tomorrow for the Orioles' final preseason game of 2015.

Good luck, Zachary.
