Adam Jones’ report card: A in hitting, F in fielding
Posted on 17 Apr 2013 by Brendan Keelan.
In tonight's Orioles-Rays game, which ended in a 6-2 Orioles loss, Orioles center fielder Adam Jones helped contribute to each of the two team's scores. Jones drove in the O's only two runs on a two-run homer in the third and also made two bad decisions in the field. He allowed a two run double in the fourth inning by overplaying a line drive hit by the Rays James Loney and then made a throwing...

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...

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’ 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 ...

The Birds’ Rock in Right Field
Posted on 19 Aug 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
It seems as though all I have been writing about lately has been the Orioles’ struggles, both offensively and defensively. Well, I’m going to make a 180 and write about someone who doesn’t make the headlines, or receive the attention he deserves: Orioles’ right fielder Nick Markakis. Nick Markakis was born on November 17th, 1983 in Glen Clove, New York. Although Markakis struggled in ...

Orioles Struggles Continue on Road as They’ve Won Only 17 All Season
Posted on 4 Aug 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
Most believe the Orioles’ 2011 season, its first full year under mastermind Buck Showalter, has been over since mid-May when they really took a plunge in the Eastern standings and have never been able to lift themselves up and get back on track. Nick Markakis actually hits better on the road (.288) than at home this season (.277). Entering the season, fans finally had reason to rejoice and ev...

Hardy’s Numbers Are Impressive and He Should Be Noticed
Posted on 20 Jun 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
Baseball fans may have already given up on the Baltimore Orioles as they are now five games under .500 and seem to not be able to play consistent baseball, but newly acquired shortstop J.J. Hardy is putting together a resurgent season and a possible All-Star bid, but has anyone noticed? J.J., or James Jerry, Hardy was born in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1982. Hardy has produced much more than the Orio...

Adam Jones Puts Up All-Star Numbers
Posted on 17 Jun 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
The Orioles knew they acquired a very special outfielder in-the-making when they shipped prized-lefty Erik Bedard to the Seattle Mariners in early 2008 and received Adam Jones in return. Jones has really broke out and become a strong every day player in his fourth full major-league season both patrolling center field and at the dish. Seattle experts believed that the Mariners were going to us...

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...

MLB’s Madcap May Madness
Posted on 29 May 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
What in the name of George Herman Ruth is going on in baseball? The Cleveland Indians are still leading the pack (largest margin of any division leader and tied for second-best record in the majors) after two months of play. Eventually someone has to either call them contenders or let Cleveland know that they can’t be playing this well. Mariano Rivera (13 SV, 1.71 ERA and the greatest closer...

O’s Pitching Bests Red Sox
Posted on 29 Apr 2011 by Sven Jenkins.
The Orioles entered their mid-week series with the Red Sox as losers of two of their last 13 games. Meanwhile, the Sox were coming off a four-game sweep of the Angels that included two shutouts. The O’s are already 0-4 against the hated 1st place Yankees and desperately needed a couple of W’s to stay close to .500. Thanks to Zach Britton and Jeremy Guthrie, they did just that. Britton ...

O’s Drop Two to Claw and Antlers
Posted on 10 Apr 2011 by Sven Jenkins.
This weekend’s series between the Orioles and Rangers showcased two of the 1st place teams in the AL. Texas came to Baltimore with an undefeated record, while the O’s were sitting at 5-1. After Friday’s rainout, the teams met for a doubleheader Saturday afternoon. The story of Game One was the left arm of Zach Britton, who dealt his lethal sinker on the Rangers for 7 2/3 innings to get ...
