O’s pick up from where they started in 2012, open 2013 season with a bang
Posted on 2 Apr 2013 by Brendan Keelan.
The Baltimore Orioles' incredible turnaround playoff season last year gave fans hope and new expectations for this season, which is also the Orioles 60th season. After everything that had happened last year, this offseason and this spring everything is up for grabs now in the AL East. In the O's opening day game with the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field they played to everyone's expectations w...

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 ...

Nolan Reimold Has Never Been Given an Everyday Opportunity to Man Left Field
Posted on 7 Aug 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
Although the Orioles haven’t lived up to expectations this season, their outfield, for the most part, has put up respectable numbers (Adam Jones sports a .289 batting average with 20 homeruns and a team-leading 69 RBIs in center field and Nick Markakis sports a .287 average with 10 homeruns and 47 RBIs in right field), with the exception of the left fielders. Left field has been the major tro...

O’s Outlook: Outfield and DH
Posted on 30 Mar 2011 by Sven Jenkins.
While the O’s infield will take on a whole new look this summer, familiar faces will dot the outfield in Baltimore. This group is a good mix of veterans and developing youngsters. The Starters LF Luke Scott CF Adam Jones RF Nick Markakis Luke Scott is moving to a full-time outfield position for the first time since 2008. Scott can pound the baseball but many believe he will struggle def...

Spoiled Rotten?
Posted on 14 Aug 2010 by Ron Burr.
We are 11 games into the Buck Showalter era, and the changes are obvious. This is no longer a team playing because they have to, they are a team playing because they WANT to. (By the way, did you dig the Creamsicle uniforms last night as much as I did? Evoking memories of these guys… Back when these guys were kind of decent is never a bad thing. Also, I love how the throwbacks were ...

Midterm Selections
Posted on 15 Jul 2010 by Ron Burr.
The 2nd half starts tonight for about half of the teams (14, in case you were wondering), and Friday for the rest of them (including the Birds). So now is as good of a time as any to arbitrarily assign grades to the team. Unlike some other graders (like Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun and his grades), I am going to go by area other than individual player, then expand in the comments below...

Cold Hard Truth on a Hot Summer’s Day
Posted on 4 Jun 2010 by Ron Burr.
In a move that surprised no one in any way except for how long it took, the Orioles have fired Dave Trembley, replacing him with Juan Samuel on an interim basis. While the writing has been on the wall for quite a while, Trembley's fate was pretty much sealed when it was reported that GM Andy MacPhail met the team at the Warehouse when they got back in from New York yesterday (that is not his ...

The First Card Falls…
Posted on 13 May 2010 by Ron Burr.
The first head has rolled, all the way to Norfolk, VA. In a move that surprised almost no one, it was Nolan Reimold. I am still expecting Luke Scott to get the boot unless his recent hitting reversal continues (and doesn't plateau where it is now), but this was the right move by Andy MacPhail. I watched the game Tuesday night, and Reimold not only looked lost at the plate, he looked lost in...

Andy MacPhail decides against seppuku. For now…
Posted on 7 May 2010 by Ron Burr.
Well, those good feelings didn't last too long. Fresh off of a 3 game sweep of the Boston Red Sox, the Baltimore Orioles go into The House That Avarice Built and get swept by the New York Yankees. We walked over. We limped back. And so, before the O's went to Minnesota to take on the Twins in a 4 game set, MacPhail decided to let us (and the team) know, in no uncertain terms, that this lack of...

It’s The Day We’ve Been Waiting For. I Think…
Posted on 6 Apr 2010 by Ron Burr.
Finally. 48 hours after Boston / New York is shoved down the collective gullet of the baseball fan (and really, is it right to make the World Series winning team have to open the season on the road? I don't think so), and 24 + hours after seemingly EVERY other team got to play, the Orioles are less than 2 hours away from beginning the 2010 baseball season against the Rays of Tampa Bay. Less...
