A review of the Orioles May Preview
On April 29th, I previewed the Month of May for the Orioles.http://baltimoresportsandlife.blogspot.com/2009/04/orioles-may-preview.htmlBased on that, lets review the stated goals, and where the O's stand with 1/2 the month complete.Goals & Thoughts for the Month...
Felix Pie is coming around; Montanez could be the odd man out
Not exactly shocking that Pie would show signs of life at some point this year... that is what happens when 24 year-old players who have had strong success at the AA, and AAA levels, become a bit more comfortable in their current Major League environment.Having gone 5...
Matt Wieters homers twice
In the 12-3 Norfolk win last night, Matt Wieters homered twice... knocking in four.It was probably just a coincedence, but it was kind of funny to see Wieters' power-stroke return the night that Reimold made his Major League debut.As we get to mid-May, we are about...
Orioles lose to Tampa, Nolan Reimold recalled from AAA
The Orioles lost 8-6 to Tampa tonight, with both teams scoring 4 runs in the 9th.Adam Jones had to leave the game early, with what he later described as a deep cramp. While hopefull he could be back in the Baltimore lineup tomorrow, he has suggested it might take...
AA Bowie in early action today, Patton strong again
Troy Patton's era rose a lmost a 1/2 run today... that happens when you enter the game with 0.95 era.Patton went 6 innings today, allowing 5 hits, 2 er, 2 bb's with 2 k's.... leaving his era for the season at 1.31.Patton has allowed 5 er in 34.1 innings this year.With...
O’s beat Tampa 7-5, move to 14-19
Baltimore beat the Rays 7-5 tonight at Oriole Park, moving to 14-19 overall.With the win, the O's have won 4 of their last 6 games, and move-back over .500 at home. (11-10).Adam Jones hit his 7th, and 8th homers of the year... and Brian Bass gave the team a chance to...
Hendrickson and Eaton
The O's did not sign Hendrickson with the intention of him being in the 2009 rotation, so I will not kill them for inserting him to that position out of need.... but it is time for this to end.After giving up 5 er, on 6 hits, with 1 bb in 2 innings tonight,...
Not that far away
The 2009 Orioles are currently 13-19, meaning there are 130 games left in the 2009 season... with that in-mind, many people are unwilling tolook ahead. The O's last finished over 500 in the 1997 season, and damaged theirreputation with the fan-base by telling the...
