Baltimore Orioles Baseball

It is not often that a player can raise his OPS over 80pts from the previous-season, and people question the overall results; but that was the case for Adam Jones in his 2009 season. Prior to the season, I projected Jones to have a .285 batting avg, 20 homers, 80 rbi....

The fact that you can label Markakis' 2009 season disappointing, only illustrates how talented Nick Markakis is. With 15 games remaining in the season, Markakis is batting .297, with 16 homers, 42 doubles, and 97 rbi. Those are all solid-numbers, but a closer look...

As the 2009 O's season comes to an end, I am going to review the results of a number of the prominent players you plan to move forward with. I will start this review, with the Orioles normal lead-off hitter. Roberts turns 32 on October 9th. To start the 2009 season, I...

Matt Wieters was 3 for 4, with a walk, his 6th homer, and 5 rbi tonight against Tampa. Wieters came into tonight, with an OPS under .700; so it would be great to see him go on a bit of run these remaining 18 games. Even if that does occur to end 2009, I fully expect...

As the Orioles 2009 season comes to a close, I find myself having extremely mixed-feelings on impending Free Agent pitcher John Lackey. I think there are valid arguments to make from differing perspectives. From one point-of-view it is nice to day-dream about a 2010...

The Baltimore Orioles have already had a very successful weekend, but they need to be greedy and get another win today with Jeremy Guthrie. It has already been a very successful weekend, watching the prized arms of Tillman, and Matusz perform in Yankee Stadium; but...
