Baltimore Orioles Baseball
Things average out during the course of 162 games
If you have a proven track-record of being a .300 hitter, you will probably finish near there, even if the average reads .230 on Memorial Day.Players will hit scorching line-drives that are caught for outs, and get bloops that fall in for hits.A pitcher might lose...
MASN – Uehara out for 2 months
Roch Kubatko and MASN reported today that Koji Uehara would be out for two-months. http://masnsports.com/2009/07/kojis-injury-is-serious.htmlThis does not change much in the near-term, as Hernandez had already replaced Uehara in the rotation - but there are some...
O’s mount an incredible rally; take an 11-10 lead to the 9th
After being down 10-1, the Baltimore Orioles have fought back to take an 11-10 lead heading to the top of the 9th. The O's have scored 5 runs in both the 7th, and 8th innings. A total team-rally, as Baltimore has pounded out 16 hits.Pie replaced Jones who left the...

Last night, several things were again apparent in the O's 4-0 loss to Boston. The talent difference between the teams continues to diminish, but a gap in the arms still exist. Not exactly Earth-shattering revelations here, we all knew this. However, after watching...
The Red Sox loom on the immediate horizon

Welcome back David Hernandez
As speculated, David Hernandez is back in Baltimore, replacing Uehara in the rotation. Uehara will apparently not just be skipped in the rotation, but put on the DL. As the O's go for the sweep today vs DC, what can we expect out of Hernandez? Hernandez made 3 starts...
