Davis and Hunter Have Failed to Impress the Birds
Posted on 12 Sep 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
The trade that sent the Birds’ most dominating pitcher, reliever Koji Uehara, to Texas on July 30th has really backfired for the Orioles. Tommy Hunter and Chris Davis have struggled and failed to help their new club record wins. In 2009, Chris Davis smashed 21 homeruns and drove in 59 RBI in 113 games with the Rangers. Although Davis has been able to collect his hits as a member of the o...

September Call Ups Look to Impress Orioles’ Organization
Posted on 5 Sep 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
The calendar page has turned to September and baseball fans know what that means. It’s time for all major league rosters expand to 40 instead of 25 during the last month of the regular season. September Call Ups have arrived. The Orioles acquired VandenHurk from the Marlins on July 31st, 2010 in exchange for Will Ohman. Managers and organizations give up and coming, future players a chan...

Bombs away in Texas, as the Angels flex their muscles
Posted on 28 Aug 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
Through two games, the Angels and Rangers are proving to be one thing, even. Each team has scored 15 runs in two games, which they have split. Dan Haren didn't pitch up to his usual standards in game one, but CJ Wilson wasn't his dominating self in game 2. In both games, the Angels proved one thing. They will get runners on in the first inning, and that's it. Oh no, they won't score them, but ...

Posted on 1 Aug 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
The non-waiver trading deadline has come and gone, but teams still have another month to add talent due to the waiver deadline. The waiver process goes like this. Each team, in reverse order of the overall standings this season, gets a chance to claim a player. If a claim is made, the original team has three options: 1. Let the player go without compensation 2. Take the player off waivers...

Orioles Receive First Baseman Chris Davis and RHP Tommy Hunter from Rangers for RHP Koji Uehara
Posted on 31 Jul 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
Koji Uehara was 1-1 with a 1.72 ERA and 62 strikeouts in just 47 innings this season (43 games). As I’m sure most of you have heard the Orioles’ sent Koji Uehara packing to the Texas Rangers yesterday afternoon. In return, the Birds added first baseman Chris Davis and right-handed pitcher Tommy Hunter to bolster their pitching staff. Tommy Hunter was born on July 3rd, 1986 in Indianapolis...

Picture perfect day in Anaheim, and that includes Leeann Tweeden
Posted on 21 Jul 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
Hear the news? Jose Reyes would like to play for the Angels. The Angels don't have the players, or possibly the money, to acquire the Mets shortstop, but it's nice to know some big name ballplayers still want to play in Anaheim. He isn't as flashy as Reyes, but I like Erick Aybar. Aybar also stays a little healthier. Also, I can't guarantee Reyes could make that play that Aybar made to end Thur...

First Half Grades for the Oakland A’s
Posted on 12 Jul 2011 by Josh Muller.
I usually like to save these little side notes until the end of the article, but there is something serious that I need to address. On Thursday, the A’s played a game against the Texas Rangers in Arlington. During the game, Texas outfielder Josh Hamilton, tossed a ball into the stands to Shannon Stone, a fan, who fell 20 feet trying to reach for the ball. Stone, a firefighter, died from the i...

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. ...

Some Good News, Finally and Some Tough Decisions
Posted on 17 Jun 2011 by Josh Muller.
There’s a slight chance I may have overreacted last week when I said that the A’s were pretty much out of it. This may sound familiar, but what a difference a week makes. In early June, the A’s were right in the thick of the AL West race and the offense was starting to heat up. By last week half the A’s starters were on the DL, the A’s fell to last place, Brett Anderson seemed destine...

The A’s Are Running Out Of Time
Posted on 6 Jun 2011 by Josh Muller.
It’s not time to panic quite yet… but it’s almost time to panic. The Oakland A’s are six games under .500 and are seven games behind the first place Texas Rangers. Now, that might not seem as dire if the A’s weren’t sitting dead last in the American League West chasing three teams instead of one. But that’s the reality of the situation and as currently constructed, this A’s rost...

Internal Options for the A’s on Offense
Posted on 17 May 2011 by Josh Muller.
On Monday we got some late night heroics as the A’s came from behind to win in extra innings in the first of two against the Angels. A win like that against a division rival can really provide a spark for a team, but it doesn’t take away from the Oakland’s primary issue; the A’s offense is pretty awful. You know it, I know it, the A’s know it. As a team, Oakland has a slash line of .2...

Jays Down American League Champs
Posted on 30 Apr 2011 by George Fadel.
The Toronto Blue Jays won three games from a four game series versus the Texas Rangers this past week. It’s been an interesting few days for these Jays as they’ve been seeing a lot of personnel change along with ups and downs but still managed to win the series versus the American League champions. The Good Kyle Drabek Drabek had another consistent outing in the opening game of the series...
