NICK JOHNSON RUMORS & GOSSIP

Red Sox take two of three from the Orioles; Johnson homers twice, Arrieta loses

This afternoon, the Orioles lost to the Boston Red Sox, 6-5. They could not get the series win, and are 28-17 on the season. Jake Arrieta pitched well; however, he once again suffered with inconsistency on the afternoon. Despite only being at .500 – with a record at 22-22 – the Red Sox are still formidable and have a tough lineup with a mixture of veterans and youngsters. The...

Nick Johnson is the surprising hero of the night; Orioles defeat Rays to open up three-game set

I’m not sure what is happening with the Orioles; however, they are finding ways to win, and Friday night was another example of it. The Orioles – again – pulled out another come-from-behind victory, as they downed the Rays, 4-3, to kick off the first contest of a three-game set. If there was a must-win game in May, this might have been it as the Orioles and Rays were tied...

Nick Johnson on his .400 Career OBP

Nick Johnson needs a typical Nick Johnson season to secure his legacy. Not as an injury-prone first baseman — that’s his other legacy — but as an on-base machine. The 33-year-old left-handed hitter came into the year as one of fewer than 60 players in history [minimum 3,000 plate appearances] with a career OBP of .400 or better. Now with the Baltimore Orioles, Johnson...

Bucks wins 1000th, Matusz finally wins, and Johnson finally gets a hit

It was a night of milestones in the Bronx for the O’s on Tuesday. The accomplishments ranged from the dubious to the quite impressive.

Nick Johnson Is Still Batting 0-For-April; Average Dips To .000!

First Look At Nick Johnson’s Mustache In Orioles Uniform

Nick Johnson was a favorite of ours during his star-crossed years with the Nats, and after a few years of kicking around with the Marlins, Yankees and AAA Columbus(!), he’s back in the DMV, this time with Baltimore. And, as he did four years ago, he’s growing some delicious lip fur. Johnson and his mustache made their O’s debut Saturday, and he ended up starting...
