Adam Jones in May
In 21 games in May, Adam Jones has 24 hits in 82 at-bats for a .293 batting average.He also has an OPS of .740 for the month. While that is still lower than you would like to see, it is not at a range where you can consider sending him down.As we have been saying all...
What should be the O’s 25 man roster?
When the O's start their 3 game home series with Oakland, what should the 25 man roster look like?Assuming that the hamstring issue suffered by Simon today does not force him to the DL, here is the 25 man roster I would like to see by Tuesday night. Patterson...
What will tomorrow bring?
On April 24th I wrote that I thought a decision was coming on Trembley. I stated that while I did not feel Trembley was the problem, I did not believe he was part of the solution. On May 12th I shared a blog where I had surveyed 8 other Oriole bloggers. Of the 9 of...

Matusz due for a dominating outing
