JJ HARDY RUMORS & GOSSIP
Orioles Sweep Royals; Jones and Hardy Help Out Again, Matusz Wins
We are almost at the quarter-pole of the 2012 season, and the Orioles – yes – are still rolling. This afternoon, the Orioles won their third game in a row, and swept the Royals, defeating them, 5-3, in amazing fashion. They are now an astounding 25-14 so far this season and they have the best record in baseball. Once again, the Orioles found themselves in a hole; however, they...

Hardy playing big role in Orioles' hearty start
J.J. Hardy will have his struggles over the course of a season. But the Orioles' shortstop will also go on a tear now and then, and has the ability to carry the team when he's hot. Now is one of those good stretches. Hardy had a clutch hit in the seventh inning Thursday, giving the Orioles' a two-run lead in an eventual 5-3 victory over Kansas City. He finished...

Jones, Hardy power Orioles to win over Royals
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- It wasn't the two-run single by J.J. Hardy in the seventh inning that caused the most angst for Royals reliever Aaron Crow, even though they wound up being the deciding runs.
It was the two walks that he issued before Hardy stepped to the plate.
They loaded the bases for the Orioles' shortstop, whose single snapped a tie and allowed Baltimore to...

J.J. Hardy and Bill Hall were on a soap opera when they were Brewers
Current Orioles J.J. Hardy and Bill Hall have been teammates before. From 2005-9, they were both members of the Milwaukee Brewers.
That’s not the interesting part though.
What I’ve just learned is that back in ’07, Hardy and Hall were – along with fellow Brew Crew members Jeff Suppan and Chris Capuano – on the soap opera “The Young and the Restless...

O’s win in 17th for sweep at Fenway, own best record in MLB
What a weekend at Fenway for the Birds.
Not only did they complete their first 3-game sweep in Beantown since way back in 1994, but the way they did it on Sunday afternoon was something that O’s fans will never forget.
It took 17 innings, both teams using position players to pitch, a huge relay throw from J.J. Hardy to Matt Wieters, Wieters subsequently blocking the plate and...

Video: Web Gems- J.J. Hardy
The Baltimore Orioles are off to one heck of start to the 2012 Major League Baseball season. They’re winning primarily because their pitchers are throwing the ball better than any of the Natty Boh drinking boys of Baltimore could have believed. They currently sit at 18-9 and 1 back from the Rays in the AL East. In addition to their strong pitching, they’re also getting...

Hardy feeling more comfortable with Orioles
The Baltimore Orioles told J.J. Hardy to swing for the fences, and he responded with a career year.
Hardy is back for his second season in Baltimore, with the comfort of a three-year $22.25 million extension he signed to stick around for a while.
The Orioles locked him up after seeing Hardy flourish in their free-swinging system. He hit a career-high 30 homers with 80 RBIs in 129...
