Dean Jones Jr. from the Baltimore Sun will join us on the live podcast tomorrow at 7:00pm EST. We have a lot of things to talk about this week ranging from the horrible offensive performance the past few weeks to how we are finally starting to break out of it. It’s been tough...
Are We Close Yet

The Orioles offense has been horrible as of late, a complete embarrassment. Every team goes through slumps offensively but with the lineup we have, I didn’t believe we’d have on that lasts this long. Some say its Trembleys fault, and others say it’s because the pitchers...

I’m told that pitchers Troy Patton and Jake Arrieta are, indeed, moving up to Triple-A Norfolk, where they’ll join elite prospect Chris Tillman in a beefed-up rotation.
I guess there’s still room for someone else once the Orioles activate Koji Uehara, but it just...

In this year’s three-day MLB Draft, the Orioles made news, some of it very good for locals, with the selection of Mike Flacco, and some very unexpected, like the selection of Matt Hobgood with the fifth overall pick. There were also some local Maryland products taken. This...

BREAKING: Mike Flacco, a third basemen from Catonsville Community College (CCBC), was selected by the O’s in the 31st round of the 2009 MLB Draft. Flacco is the brother of Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, and was selected with the fifth pick on the draft’s third day,...
Orioles Second Round Draft Pick: Mychal Givens

We used our second round pick to draft Mychal Givens, I have to admit that I really liked this pick at the spot where we drafted him, we received a high potential, athletic player. Although Givens was announced as a pitcher, we will develop him at shortstop. Givens is a 6′2 athletic...
Orioles First Round Draft Pick: Matt Hobgood

Today’s first round draft pick Matt Hobgood would of been a complete shock to me two days ago, he really climbed the boards fast. Hobgood is a big 6′4 right handed pitcher out of Norco HS in California. We all assumed that we would draft a high school pitcher, just not...

Michael gave you a mock draft earlier today, and this one was supposed to be up on Wednesday, but WordPress decided to screw me over. Mine’s got some notes about picks in it, but doesn’t have the fancy template Michael has. Keep in mind, most of the picks are based...
MLB 2009 Mock Draft

Here is my MLB mock draft that will take place Tuesday. I believe that Tyler Matzek will be the best pitcher left on the board. With the pitching jams that will occur over the next few seasons, drafting a high school pitcher makes most sence and put him in low single-A. He is also a [...]

We’ve been loading up on young pitching
talent the last few years through drafts and trades. Even with our good
offensive and defensive outfield, Wieters, and the other position
prospects coming up such as Brandon Snyder, it means nothing if our
pitchers don’t develop...

OAKLAND, Calif. - Feeling that they could no longer count on Jamie Walker to get left-handed hitters out, the Orioles will announce the release of the struggling reliever today despite still owing him approximately $3 million.
To take his place on the roster, the Orioles will select...

As the knew blood continues to trickle into our roster, lets take a look back on how we improved. Although our record has not dramatically improved from the 2000 season, you can definitely tell how far we have come. The organization came from a old, crappy team, to one that has a lot of youth [...]

So What To Do With Koji?

Koji has been one of our most reliable starters, but he hasn’t been able to go deep into games, so you have to wonder if it would be better to put him in the pen. Our starting rotation has been doing a lot better, and the young arms deserve to keep proving themselves.
You know that [...]

The reason I haven’t been posting much lately is because I’ve been at the Oriole games the last two days. As most of you know, you have to go to the bars after the game. Anyway, it was a great experience to see Wieters first game. It started raining about an hour before game time, [...]

So in Matt Wieters’ debut, this game could be rained out. Right now, I’m about 20 minutes outside of the city, and the rain is steady. There have been no updates thus far on the team site or on MLB.com. Roch Kubatko usually has weather updates, as he’s at the...
