On this date

Orioles

On May 28, 1998, Arizona Diamondbacks manager Buck Showalter ordered an intentional walk to San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds. Bonds walked a record 2,558 times in his career, and that doesn't count the courtroom. So why is this noteworthy? Showalter instructed his reliever to walk Bonds with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning. With the bases loaded. Arizona led by two runs and Showalter wanted no part of Bonds. It was a tremendous gamble, and it paid off. The next batter,...

Will it be a tough Gio tonight for O's against Gonzalez?

Orioles

Will it be a tough Gio tonight for O's against Gonzalez?

Chris Tillman takes the mound for the Orioles tonight for his 10th start of the season. Tillman has pitched very well over his last three starts. In that time, his ERA is 1.13 and he has allowed 14 hits and two runs over 16 innings. Now the Orioles would like him to get deeper into the games as he has pitched six, five and five innings over those starts. His mound opponent tonight is a very talented lefty in the A's Gio Gonzalez, who is 5-2 with the sixth-best ERA in the American League at...

Leo Gomez will manage at Aberdeen; Drese to be released

Former Oriole Leo Gomez will manage the short-season Single-A Aberdeen IronBirds this season. Aberdeen opens a new year in the New York-Penn League on June 17 at home against Hudson Valley. The last two seasons, Gomez was a field coach for the O's Gulf Coast League and Bluefield clubs. He played with the Orioles from 1990 to 1995, batting .245 over 475 games.

Leo Gomez named Aberdeen manager (and other notes)

Well, that didn't take long. The Orioles finally named their manager at short-season Single-A Aberdeen. Former third baseman Leo Gomez will call the shots from the IronBirds' dugout. Gomez has spent the past two seasons as a field coach for the rookie-level Gulf Coast League Orioles (2009) and Bluefield (2010). Gomez spent six of his seven major league seasons with the Orioles, batting .245 with 62 home runs and 203 RBIs in 475 games. I forgot that he played for the Cubs in 1996, tying his...

Free memorabilia appraisal at Sports Legends Museum on June 4

C'mon, you know you've got some memorabilia stashed in your basement, attic or garage. Maybe you managed to protect your prized baseball card collection from your mother's evil clutches. Perhaps you were lucky enough to snag a Cal Ripken Jr. autographed baseball during one of the Iron Man's marathon signing sessions at Camden Yards. Did you luck into a World Series ring from the O's glory days? Or are you still holding onto that Gus Triandos chewing gum you picked up off the field at...

Streaking into Oakland

May 26, 2011, 5:01pm

Orioles

Give me the choice between a cross-country flight and being covered in honey and red ants, and I'll ask which one provides the most leg room. If the Orioles must travel to Oakland, and the schedule demands it, at least they're riding a five-game winning streak. It may not come with those little bags of gourmet pretzels like you get on Southwest, and yesterday's 6-5, 12-inning victory wasn't exactly a smooth ride, but it's the first time this season that the Orioles have boarded one....

Anthony Amobi: This time around, Reimold making most of opportunity

Parts of the last two seasons have been nothing short of rough for Nolan Reimold. However, Remold is now back in the big leagues with the Baltimore Orioles and when he's been given the opportunity to play, the man has delivered in key moments. His bat played a huge role in Saturday's victory against the Nationals and also on Thursday against the Royals, where his home runs helped extend the Orioles' winning streak to five games. During the past week, Reimold has once again shown flashes of...

Anthony Amobi: Jones finally realizing his immense potential

If you all have been watching the Orioles as of late, you know that Adam Jones has really been heating it up at plate. Right now, Jones is one of the more prominent faces of the franchise and so far in 2011, his profile seems to be rising even more in the sport thanks to an outstanding May at the plate. Before this season began, I was not sure what to think of Jones at times. Well, there a few situations last year while watching the action live from my seat, when I could recall myself...

Wieters talks about batting with RISP

May 25, 2011, 1:00pm

Orioles

Orioles catcher Matt Wieters began this season going 7-for-7 when batting with runners in scoring position. While he wasn't going to keep hitting 1.000 in those clutch spots, he is still batting over .500 with RISP and the team is now 46 games into the season. Wieters is hitting .576 on the year at 19-for-33 with RISP. He has five doubles, three homers and 25 of his 26 RBIs in those spots. He is easily the American League's top hitter with RISP. So what is the key to hitting well in clutch...

Does upcoming schedule give the O's a chance to shoot for .500?

Orioles

Does upcoming schedule give the O's a chance to shoot for .500?

One thing that has been pretty true about how this Orioles season has gone is this observation. Just when you think you may have a handle on how the O's are playing, it will usually change. They began the year going 6-1 and fans were fired up by that start. They then proceeded to lose eight in a row. In late April, the Orioles won five of six against Boston and Chicago. They then lost six of seven. That was followed by a three-game sweep against Seattle and a series win on the road versus...

You can speculate on the corresponding roster move. Brandon Snyder is a strong candidate because Scott and Jake Fox can play first base in Derrek Lee's absence. Tatum could be recalled in time to...

Mark Reynolds hits the longest foul balls in the world. Some people might describe them as majestic. That doesn't help your fantasy team, but I wanted to mention it anyway. I think one ball traveled an estimated three miles last night, but it landed on the wrong side of the left field foul pole. Straighten 'em out, Mark, and you're in business. I'll hit you with a quick question, which we debated in the press box last night before heading to our cars: Which ending was more exciting...

Comparing the AL East and NL East as we head in to interleague play

With interleague play here, there's no argument than the National and American League East divisions are the best of baseball's six. But, which of those divisions are the best? Generally, the NL East has more pitching, the AL East more offense, partly because of the DH. But, here's a position-by-position comparison: Rotation: The Phillies' Roy Halladay, the Marlins' Josh Johnson and the Braves' Tim Hudson are more dominant in the top three slots for the NL East than the Rays' David...

Great news for the Frederick Keys franchise

The news came out yesterday, not long after I wrote this story about concern over the future for the Single-A Frederick Keys. The City of Frederick yesterday selected the Keys over an Atlantic League team to negotiate a new lease with to play in Harry Grove Stadium starting next year. This comes as great news and should mean the Keys, who have played as an Orioles' affiliate in Frederick since 1989, should continue there and remain aligned with the Orioles - hopefully for many, many years to...
