Rays-Orioles Preview
Jason Hammel's emergence as the Baltimore Orioles' best starting pitcher played a big role in the team's surprising success last season.
This year, they've managed to stay near the top of their division despite a far less effective Hammel.
The Orioles hope their struggling right-hander can get back on track Friday night when they open a three-game set against the...

Pelfrey, Twins look to keep improving in return home
Baltimore Orioles right-hander Jason Hammel still thinks he can improve.
His record outside Camden Yards can't be any better.
Hammel will try to match the MLB lead in victories and become just the third Oriole in 54 years to win his first six road starts Friday night, when he makes his first appearance against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field.
Hammel (5-1, 4.10 ERA) has...

Q&A: Jason Hammel, Two-Seam Evolution
When Jason Hammel takes the mound tonight against the A’s, he’ll be visualizing the shape of his pitches. He’ll also be throwing a lot of two-seamers and sliders. Last season the Baltimore Orioles right-hander threw his signature offerings 34.5% and 22.2% of the time. This year – according to PITCHf/x — those numbers have merged somewhat to 27.8% and 23.7%, respectively...
Jason Hammel’s Strikeouts
Last season Jason Hammel turned in a career year despite starting only 20 games. I wrote about him in the preseason and have targeted him in all my leagues this year. However, in two starts this year (12.2 IP), Hammel has turned in a very strange stat line.While his 0.87 WHIP is sparking, his 4.97 ERA is far from it. In fact, Hammel is the only qualified pitcher so far this year...
“I’m dropping the Hammel!” “No, you’re not!”
Cole Trickle was such a hypocrite. When Harry Hogge gave the young cocky kid a chance, Trickle did nothing but wreck other drivers, get into a fight his crew chief in pit row, and made enemies with other drivers including veteran, Rowdy Burns. Then after a wreck, in which he was too arrogant to slow down to avoid, he gets upset when another young cocky kid comes along in Russ Wheeler...
Jason Hammel's Command Off In O's Opening Day Win
Opening Day for the Orioles was certainly fun. A win against a division rival. Adam Jones hitting rockets all over the park (he could have easily gone 4-5 or even 5-5 on the day). Chris Davis not only hitting a home run, but working back from an 0-2 count against a lefty (David Price, who's an OK pitcher I guess) to draw a walk. Matt Wieters homering (and doubling), while also...
Orioles start second half season with a loss; Hammel hurt...
The second half of the season for the Orioles commenced on Friday night; however, from the looks of it, the same old problems still afflict the Birds. They would lose the first contest of a three game series with the Detroit Tigers, losing 7-2.They have now fallen to 45-41 on the season and are eight games behind the New York Yankees in the American League East.Aside from the loss...

Baltimore Orioles trade rumors time to upgrade the pitching staff
As the season reaches its halfway point teams start to look towards the future, and that can only mean one thing. The trading season has begun. For teams at the top with the playoffs in sight they can bolster their chances with a big new name and for the cellar dwellers it is time to pick up some prospects and hope next year is another chance for the franchise.
So far this season...
HERE WE GO AGAIN

Toronto has once again been accused of stealing their opponent's signs, this time by Orioles pitcher Jason Hammel, who alluded to it after taking the loss on Wednesday.
