O’s lose chance to sweep Toronto and instead get swept up in 11 innings
Posted on 24 Apr 2013 by Brendan Keelan.
Baltimore came into this day game to face a Toronto Blue Jays team that had lost six of their last eight coming into this game, only scoring more than four runs once since April 12th. Toronto had scored three or fewer runs in 13 out the 21 games played so far this season before today, and had only recorded five or fewer hits in five of those games. That was not the case today as the O's fell to...

O’s finally hand Lester a loss and crown a new club save king
Posted on 21 Sep 2012 by Brendan Keelan.
After fourteen straight wins and two no decisions that ended in losses to the O's, Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester finally suffered an official loss to the Orioles in this 4-2 Orioles victory. Lester, who normally handcuffs the Orioles whenever he pitches, went seven innings giving up eight hits, all four earned runs, three walks, and three strikeouts. Miguel Gonzalez earned the win in his pitching ...

Despite the fact that Thorne constantly jinxed the O’s with talk about streaks, the O’s break club records
Posted on 27 Aug 2012 by Brendan Keelan.
Baltimore Orioles fans have sore knuckles after having to knock on wood several times due to O's TV announcer Gary Thorne on MASN (Mid-Atlantic Sports Network) jinxing Baltimore in this game by talking about the team's different winning streaks before the game was over. When you are the visiting team's announcer at the game and you talk about the other teams streaks in attempt to jinx them that...

Gonzalez shines in first game facing the Yankees
Posted on 30 Jul 2012 by Brendan Keelan.
Orioles starting pitcher Miguel Gonzalez has had an up and down season so far, mostly down in these past few weeks, so him taking the mound for the first time ever against the first place Yankees would seem a little scary. Gonzalez' last start against the Rays was a train wreck as he only two and two-thirds innings, gave up seven earned runs on seven hits and two wild pitches. But he would rede...

Irony: O’s win but Johnson loses save streak while Lester keeps his win streak vs. BAL
Posted on 5 Jun 2012 by Brendan Keelan.
In an odd twist during Tuesday night's Orioles-Red Sox game in which the Orioles won 8-6 in 10 innings, Baltimore's Jim Johnson's streak was broken while Boston's Jon Lester's vs. the Orioles continues. Baltimore Orioles closer Jim Johnson had a 25-game save streak dating back to August of last season going into this game but it was soon broken up by Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia. With ...

Orioles’ Starting Pitching Worse This Season, But Bullpen Improves Over Last Year
Posted on 2 Oct 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
Expectations entering this season were very high for the Baltimore Orioles after they signed big name free agents like designated hitter Vladimir Guerrero, shortstop J.J. Hardy, third baseman Mark Reynolds and closer Kevin Gregg. Jake Arrieta was 10-8 with a 5.05 ERA in 22 games (67 earned runs in 119.1 innings). But, for a 14th consecutive season and the first full year in the Showalter era, t...

Jim Johnson Should be the Birds’ Next Member of Their Rotation
Posted on 9 Sep 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
Everyone knows the Baltimore Orioles need better pitching and have since Mike Mussina’s departure after the 2000 season. The front office always tries to import talent instead of building within their organization. Jim Johnson was born in Johnson City, New York on June 27th, 1983. Set up man Jim Johnson has been the most consistent Birds' bullpen hurler over the last four seasons. The re...

Koji Could be on the Move, Johnson a Possibility, but No One Else Likely to Be Traded by the Deadline
Posted on 28 Jul 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
It’s that time of year again when trade rumors are flying from clubhouse to clubhouse and the media creates a circus over season-changing acquisitions towards the end of this month. There are just three more days until the trade deadline (Mets already shipped Carlos Beltran and the Cardinals cut ties with Colby Rasmus) and the Orioles have some intriguing commodities. Koji has dominated the...

Has Anyone Noticed Relievers Jim Johnson or Koji Uehara?
Posted on 21 Jul 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
Some fans might think that the Orioles are headed towards their 14th consecutive losing season and there’s no chance to reverse their fortunes, but there are a couple of bright spots worth noting; I am alluding to set up man Jim Johnson and relief pitcher Koji Uehara. Jim Johnson was born in Johnson City, New York on June 27th 1983. Koji Uehara was born in Neyagawa, Osaka, Japan on April 3rd ...

Posted on 15 Jul 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
As I wrote in my previous article, this next post is a continuation of my critique of the Orioles first-half woes. I explained their offensive and starting pitching problems in the first article, and in this article, I’m going to talk about their bullpen, and the few bright spots, their struggling defense and our expectations for the 2011 season under Buck Showalter. The Birds have not won ...

Orioles = A Sign of Spring
Posted on 8 Apr 2011 by Sven Jenkins.
According to all-birds.com, the Oriole is a sign of spring. So it’s no wonder it felt like Mother Nature skipped over spring the last thirteen years, the Orioles have been nowhere to be found. However, it’s just six games into the 2011 season and the Orioles seem to have everything clicking for them. The offense exploded for nine runs in yesterday’s rubber match, giving the O’s a 5-1 ...
