Baltimore Orioles Baseball
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...
Should he stay, or should he go?
What a ridiculous run Luke Scott has been on lately. Just the latest chapter in Scott's book of extreme streaks. While I would prefer to see greater consistency, I guess all that matters is where you end up. On May 12th, Scott had a .699 OPS, and was batting .200....
Hernandez gets win, future still in the pen
David Hernandez earned his first win of the 2010 season, as the Baltimore Orioles won the opening game of a 3 game series in Washington. Hernandez went 5.1 innings, allowing just 1 run, 1 hit, striking out 3, but walking 5. The MASN combination of Palmer, and Dibble...

Matusz due for a dominating outing

Regarding yesterday
Great comeback for the O's in a game they should have lost. Just a reminder of how things even-out over the course of 162 game season.Sometimes you blow games you have no business losing, and sometimes you find a way to win when things appear bleak.The O's swept...
