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...

Tillman Delivers Out West
After splitting their series with the Seattle Mariners, the Baltimore Orioles headed down to Disneyland – ok, Anaheim, California – to face the Los Angeles Angels.
The series in Seattle for the Orioles, in my mind, was one they could have easily won if the pitching and defense had held their own; however, they bounced back with a 5-1 win over the Angels.
I stayed up...
Blanton Shows Up, Offense Doesn't; Angels Lose to Orioles 5- 1
Joe Blanton showed up tonight. The rest of the Angels? Nope. Joe came in and threw 8 strong innings (an Angels first) giving up 2 earned runs. Chris Tillman, the Fountain Valley High kid, just wanted it more. He came in and shutdown the Halos through 8 innings, giving up only 3 hits. The Big Four combined to go 2- 14, with Pujols’ homer coming too little too late...

About Last Night and Arrieta Demoted
Last night, the Orioles pulled off a walk-off victory as Nick Markakis singled in the winning run to help them win, 2-1.
Chris Tillman – who started for Baltimore – pitched very, very well. He went 6 2/3 innings, gave up a run on four hits, and was rolling until the 6th inning. Despite solid outing on the mound, Tillman – as well as every Oriole starting pitcher – needs...
MLB Game Picks - Monday: April 22, 2013
Sunday was a pick-astrophy. That was easily the most brutal results of picking baseball games this daily feature has suffered in its four year history. There were sixteen games. Only three were picked correctly. Holy crap. It is no solace that one of the three correct picks was the Game of the Day feature coming in correctly. One of three correct picks was picking against my favorite...

Mike Napoli’s Improving Offensive Approach a Silver Lining in Tough Loss to Orioles
The Red Sox dropped two winnable games in a row to the Orioles, spoiling what had the potential to be a tempo-setting first home series. If there is a silver lining to Boston’s subpar offensive output in Thursday’s 3-2 loss, though, it’s the increased comfort that Mike Napoli appears to have at the plate.
Napoli entered Thursday’s contest hitting just .211 (6-for-34) with...

MLB Game Picks - Thursday: April 11, 2013
Despite two postponed games, two bullpen disasters and a two-game winning streak by the Houston Astros, Wednesday turned out to be a pretty good day. Wade Miley did just what I predicted he would do. So did Mike Minor and Barry Zito. Both of the bullpen meltdowns helped this time instead of the other way around. And so the season continues on its merry way. Like John Buck and...

Royals Mortgage Future To Be Mediocre In 2013
In some ways, this post feels like a repeat. When rumors first surfaced that the Royals were considering shipping off Wil Myers to acquire a veteran starting pitcher, I wrote up my feelings on why that wasn’t such a great idea. If you want to see my full breakdown on swapping Myers for Shields, start there. The brief summary goes something like this; sure, the Royals need better...
