Baltimore Orioles Baseball

Brandon Snyder and Josh Bell both got going at AAA Norfolk last-night, as they contributed to the 12-3 Tides win. Each player finished 3 for 4 with a double. Bell had 1 RBI, while Snyder had 3. Mickolio went another 1.1 scoreless, though he did have 2 walks. Sarfate...

Kevin Millwood was brought to Baltimore to provide innings, and stability to the rotation. To lead by example, and give the O's young-pitchers a veteran they can emulate. Today is a day I expect big things from Millwood. The rotation has gone 1 time through, and they...

The O's needed to take 2 of 3 from Toronto at-home, and should have been positioned for a possible sweep today. It did not happen, as a right-handed based lineup was totally overwhelmed by lefty Dana Eveland. As I stated in the series-preview, Eveland had success with...

Steven Johnson celebrated his return to the Orioles organization, with his first start 2010 start at AA Bowie last-night. In 5 innings of work, Johnson allowed 5 hits, 0 er, 2 bb's, with 6 k's. It was a shrewd move by MacPhail to leave Johnson off the 40 man roster,...

Game 3 of any baseball season can only count for so much, but it was big for the Orioles to leave Tampa with their first win of the season. It would have been a very long-trip back to Baltimore for the home-opener if the Rays had rallied in the 9th. Instead, the O's...
