Video: Red Sox Survive Against O's, 5-4

A Loss, Johnson and Tillman

Well, the Baltimore Orioles lost last night to the San Diego Padres, 3-2, in a thrilling game that didn’t end very well. They rallied in the eighth inning, breaking a 1-1 tie, thanks to a stolen base and heads-up base running by Alexi Casilla, followed by an RBI single from Steve Pearce. Baltimore was stifled for much of the night by San Diego starter Andrew Cashner; however...

Twins' aggressiveness has slowed down on base paths

MINNEAPOLIS When the Minnesota Twins traded Ben Revere and Denard Span this offseason, they lost not only two starting outfielders but also two of the faster players on the team.

Rank Relief: The Blue Jays are supposed to be good, right?

Aaron Loup might be looking at the game winning single or glaring at Alexi Casilla. We’ll never know. The Blue Jays are only 8-12.  On pace for a record of not good.  This one is tough though…I was going back and forth whether or not to file this one under rank relief.  This wasn’t really too much of Aaron Loup’s fault, but he got the loss nonetheless.  Let’s give quick...

Yankees Turn Triple Play in Win Over O’s

The Yankees turned a triple play in win over Orioles Friday night. The New York Yankees turned one of the rarest triple plays in history Friday night against the Baltimore Orioles. The Yankees became the first team to record a 4-6-5-6-5-3-4 putout, which was the club’s second triple play since 1968, according to MLB.com.

Yankees turn triple play in win over Orioles

They've heard the ''Who's on first jokes?'' They've barely played together as a group. Still, there they were, the New York Yankees infield high-fiving and smiling with glee after having turned a most improbable triple play. ''That was awesome,'' injured first baseman Mark Teixeira said Friday night after the Yankees' 5-2 victory over...

Yankees turn triple play in win over Orioles

On Friday night, the New York Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-2, and while Adam Jones' three-run error is going to get all of the headlines, the Yankees had a pretty unique play of their own on the defensive side of the field: they turned a triple play in the top of the eighth when the Orioles had a prime opportunity to rally back. With men on first and second, Manny...

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, you're the Baltimore Orioles

The number of people who believed in the overachieving 2012 Baltimore Orioles, even when they were locked in battle in the ALDS, could probably be counted on one hand.  Seeing how they'd been the unofficial doormat of the AL East for the previous fourteen seasons, it is no wonder that their unexpected success was received with such a critical eye.  Winning 93 games on just...

The Oncoming Storm: Part One

The weather is getting colder and we in Baltimore are staring down December awaiting snow, the Mayan apocalypse and the approach of Nimburu; although only one of those is likely to happen. And if that opening sentence wasn’t evidence enough the offseason has been rather boring so far for the Orioles. Yes, they picked up Alexi Casilla and traded Robert Andino but the electrons that...

O's Trade Robert Andino For Trayvon Robinson

"Given Robert Andino's down 2012, I suggested the Orioles might want to look elsewhere for a starting second baseman for 2013 if they wanted to be competitive again. When the O's picked up Alexi Casilla, the writing was kind of on the wall Andino wasn't going to be getting a starting job with the team next season. And now, as it turns it, he won't be getting...

Back in the Saddle and Alexi Casilla

Sorry for the delay with updating the site. I've just moved into a new house, and just had a lot of stuff going on with life. The dust has settled on the 2012 season for the Orioles, and as time has passed, it's even more amazing to think what they accomplished. Although they got bounced out of the playoffs by the Yankees in ALDS, it's incredible how far the franchise...
