The Orioles have announced that they'll honor Jim Gentile in a special on-field ceremony before tomorrow night's game against the Chicago White Sox at Camden Yards. In 1961, Gentile set career highs with a .302 average, 46 homers and 141 RBIs. He finished one RBI behind league-leader Roger Maris, until a baseball researcher discovered several years ago that Maris was credited with an RBI on an error. Major League Baseball recently verified and approved the research, and Gentile appears in...

The Orioles have announced that they will honor former Oriole great Jim Gentile in a special on-field ceremony on Friday, August 6, before their 7:05 game against the Chicago White Sox. In 1961, Gentile set career-highs with a .302 batting average, 46 homers and 141 RBI. His 141 RBI were one behind the Yankees' ROGER MARIS, leaving him second in the American League. Several years ago, a baseball researcher discovered that one of Maris' credited RBI had scored as the result of an error....

First baseman Joe Mahoney, who has been on a tear for the Double-A Bowie Baysox, left last night's game at Portland after the fourth inning and is not in the lineup today for their afternoon game there. I'm told Mahoney was dealing with some cramping, probably due to the heat. Mahoney is batting .402-6-18 in 23 Baysox games after going 0 for 3 last night. He has a slugging percentage of .713 and OPS of 1.159. He has produced 11 multi-hit games in his short time with Bowie, including six...

I found this quote from last night's game to be especially interesting, since we're still gauging how players are accepting new manager Buck Showalter. I'll let Adam Jones do the talking here: "I think what's really going on is everyone knows his reputation as a hard-ass. He's going to get on you for doing this; he's going to say something about everything. I think that's actually worked. Hey, let's get it done. You might as well. You don't want him on you. I think that's the...

Last night marked the third consecutive game that the opposing starter didn't last six innings. We've entered the Bizarro World. The Angels are a bad baseball team, and it feels strange to type those words. I'm not downplaying a single thing the Orioles have accomplished under Buck Showalter...but the Angels are a bad baseball team. Guys are playing out of position. Can you imagine such a thing? Did you see the botched pop up in foul territory? They actually let the ball fall harmlessly...

While the Orioles scouting director Joe Jordan is making some progress in signing some of the O's top ten draft picks, progress continues to move slowly when it comes to their top pick, prep shortstop Manny Machado. The O's selected Machado with the third pick in the draft. In a July 23 MASNsports.com article, Jordan said contract talks have begun with Machado and the sides have exchanged dollar figures. But since that time, no real progress has been made. That is not unexpected as most...

That's two in a row, but who's counting? The Orioles held on for a 9-7 victory after the Angels scored the last six runs of the game. "When you get to six innings, can we keep them from scoring eight runs before we get nine outs? I kind of break it down that way. And we did," said manager Buck Showalter. Special thanks to Torii Hunter for attempting to steal third base with no outs in the ninth inning after the Angels had reduced the deficit to two runs. He already was in scoring...

The O's got good post-game news on two of the three injured players that left Wednesday's game. Both Brian Roberts and Josh Bell hope to play tomorrow, but the news was not nearly as good for David Hernandez, who seems likely to end up on the disabled list. He suffered a left ankle sprain while covering home in the seventh inning. "I kind of had my landing foot, my left foot, I didn't feel it roll, it just kind of felt like the ligament went over the bone and went back. "They said...
