Baltimore Orioles Baseball
Kudos for Brian Roberts
Brian Roberts hit his 50th double of the 2009 season last night, becoming only the 4th player in Major League Baseball history to have 3 or more seasons of 50+ doubles. When you are 1 of 4 of anything in MLB history, that is pretty amazing. When your company is the...
Janet Marie Smith back with The O’s

Nice weekend for the Birds
The O's will take 2 of 3 from the Texas Rangers this weekend, severely hurting Texas in their run for the playoffs. Matusz was able to battle back from a rough 1st inning yesterday, to give 7 innings, and earn his 4th win. Guthrie was strong today. Tillman took the...
Guthrie finishing strong to end 2009

In my September/October preview I posted August 30th, I called for the O's to finish 2009 with a 68-94 record. Not far off the 72 wins I predicted for the O's in March. Since then, it has been formally communicated that Chris Tillman, and Brian Matusz will likely not...
MASN – Jones could be out for the season
Roch Kubatko reports that Adam Jones could be out for the season. http://masnsports.com/2009/09/jones-could-be-done-for-the-ye.htmlObviously if Jones is going to miss the next 2-3 weeks, there is little reason to have him come-back to end the year. Certainly...
O’s Quick Hits
A few quick Oriole thoughts for Wednesday afternoon.1) David Hernandez has made 14 Major League starts, and has walked 3 or more batters in 8 of those starts. Despite that, he has also provided at-least 5 innings of work in 11 of his starts. In outings of 5 innings or...
