Orioles’ Offense Produces Better Numbers This Season
Posted on 2 Oct 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
In my last blog post, I analyzed the Orioles’ pitching stats this season; in this post, I’m going to uncover the Birds’ offensive trends, surprises and disappointments for the 2011 season. Although their offense produced better power numbers, especially with the addition of home run slugging Mark Reynolds (37 hrs), they collectively hit a couple of points worse batting average-wise. Las...

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...

Orioles’ Last Two Series Have Been Like Night and Day
Posted on 25 Aug 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
If you are an avid Orioles fans and follow them closely, you are used to the Birds playing a horrendous series and then turn around and look like a completely different team in the next series. It’s like day and night between series and yet again, they showed how inconsistent they can be. Mark Reynolds is 7 for his last 21 with 1 homerun and 4 RBI. The Birds lost two of three in Oakland to ...

Was Vladimir Guerrero Worth the Money?
Posted on 2 Jul 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
I remember when I heard the Orioles acquired the hot-slugging, right fielder Vladimir Guerrero, who made his name heard by hitting monster homeruns and gunning down numerous runners on the base paths for the former Montreal Expos; I was sure this season was going to be one to remember. Vladimir Guerrero is one of nine children and is the younger brother of former major leaguer Wilton Guerrero. ...

Markakis, Reynolds and Scott Struggling for the Birds
Posted on 7 Jun 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
In my last blog post, I argued that the Orioles main problem this season has been their inconsistency at the plate. Now, let’s take a deeper look into three Oriole sluggers (Nick Markakis, Mark Reynolds and Luke Scott) who have not been able to perform on a constant basis which the Birds need to stay in contention and make a possible playoff run. Nick Markakis did not hit under .285 after A...

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 ...
