Galarraga ready for new chapter in Baltimore

Via Fox Sports Florida  |  March 21, 2012
SARASOTA, Fla. The man who came within one famously blown call of baseball immortality sits at his locker, blending inconspicuously into the clubhouse of the Baltimore Orioles. You could easily walk by and not notice him amid the clatter of pre-game preparations. If not for his hand in an epic event that made the sports world stand still on June 2, 2010, he would just be another...

Buck Showalter meets his Waterloo

Via The Flagrant Fan  |  March 22, 2012
No one can exactly determine the benefit or harm a baseball manager brings to his team. The oft-trotted out discourses are the chemistry, organization, inspiration sides of what a manager does. But how to you measure that? You can't. Fairly or unfairly, a manager is judged by the bottom line of wins and losses. If his team wins, the manager gets to hang around. If it loses, he...

Yesterday, the Baltimore Orioles demolished the Minnesota Twins, 11-1, in Grapefruit League action. The story of the day was the pitching of Wei-Yin Chen. Obviously, the Orioles need as much pitching as they can get, and so far Chen has been promising down in Florida during his first MLB Spring Training. He gave up a run in five innings of work and gave up four hits. He struck�...

Orioles hope to add to celebration of Camden Yards

Via AP on Fox  |  March 21, 2012
The Orioles will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Camden Yards this season, taking fans on a journey back to when the team attracted sellout crowds every night and often made life miserable for the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and the rest of the AL East. Baltimore's charming ballpark hasn't changed much since Rick Sutcliffe launched the Orioles' 89-73 season by...

Marketing Mark Reynolds

Via Fangraphs  |  March 23, 2012
The Orioles are reportedly looking to trade “third baseman” Mark Reynolds and reliever Kevin Gregg. You think so, doctor? It would be strange if the team really waited until this late to start shopping these two veterans, who are rather pointless on a team that is at the beginning of what looks to be a long rebuilding process. To be fair, while the rumor is just coming out now...

D-Train makes a stop in Baltimore

On Sunday I wrote about Dontrelle Willis getting released by the Philadelphia Phillies. To my surprise, the Baltimore Orioles officially signed Willis to a minor-league deal on Wednesday.  I’m not sure what the Orioles gain with this deal, more than likely a LOOGY, but Willis really has to step his game up if he wants to make it to the big club once the season gets under way...
