Straight up Crushing ... Orioles Take Series from the Yankees...
Yes, the Orioles have struggled in the past two weeks.
They will probably struggle again at some point in 2013; however, they have shown themselves to be incredibly resilient. Until Buck Showalter arrived, this team would have been stymied by it all and gone into a swoon that they could not have dug out of.
Times are different, and this squad can pull it all together and...

The First Struggles
Losers of three straight, after last night’s failed comeback, Birdland fans are getting their first taste of struggle in 2013. Miguel Gonzalez has missed starts, Freddy Garcia has been middling at best in the rotation; Jason Hammel has gotten rocked his last couple of starts, and Jim Johnson blew his first save of the year.
Some Orioles fans may be wondering if this...
MLB Game Picks - Friday: May 17, 2013
For a short schedule, Thursday was a good day. Seven of nine correct is a fine tally. But as always, it was the two that got away that get all of my attention. If you reread yesterday's version, you can even see me say that Jonathon Niese was due for an overpowering performance. And yet, I still picked against him because it was the Cardinals he was facing at home. The Mets...
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...
Baltimore Orioles to sweep Tampa Bay Rays - (Sponsored Post)
Baltimore Orioles fans hoping their side can achieve a second successive run into the playoffs this fall know all too well early-season wins make all the difference.
The Os have been strong this spring after currently sit second in the AL East with a 23-16 record after close of play on Tuesday night. They have a rest day on Thursday following a brief series with the Padres...
Resiliency and the DH Spot...
Last night’s game looked lost for the Orioles. I was listening to the game on my way to western Pennsylvania and it seemed liked they were headed to a loss against the Minnesota Twins. Jason Hammel – who started the game – was off; the Orioles were mired in a six-run deficit and shutout in the first six innings, plus the offense seemed to be non-existent.
However, business...
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...

Orioles, Guthrie poised for Camden Yards reunion
Jeremy Guthrie and the Baltimore Orioles are doing just fine without each other.
Guthrie lost 60 games over a four-year stretch with the Orioles before being traded to Colorado in February 2012 for pitchers Jason Hammel and Matt Lindstrom. Now he's back in Baltimore for the first time, poised to face his former team Thursday night as a member of the Kansas City Royals.

Santana, Royals pay visit to Camden Yards

Angels drop series to Orioles with 8-4 loss
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- J.J. Hardy and Manny Machado each hit a two-run homer off Jerome Williams in his first start of the season, leading the Baltimore Orioles to an 8-4 victory over the reeling Los Angeles Angels on Sunday.

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 Will Try and Build On Last Season’s Success Starting With Opening Day

Orioles Hammel set to start opener
Jason Hammel is set to start the Baltimore Orioles' opener at Tampa Bay.
Hammel, who threw five innings in a minor league game Wednesday, is scheduled to start against the Rays' David Price on Tuesday in St. Petersburg, Fla.
''We look it at as one of the five starters. He will be the first guy of the season,'' manager Buck Showalter said.

2013 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper: Jason Hammel | SP | BAL
It’s no surprise that a pitcher from the AL East with a career 4.30 ERA and 1.41 WHIP doesn’t seem like a very good draft choice. But if you take a deeper look into the stats, you’ll find that Jason Hammel is a very intriguing sleeper option for next year.
Last year, he was coming off a season where he went 7-13 with a 4.76 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, and a pathetic 4.97 K/9; nobody wanted...
