Just looking at the stat will probably not impress anyone. The Orioles' starting rotation ERA for the year of 4.78 ranks only 12th best in the American League. And 24th in all of MLB. So, there is room for improvement. But in recent weeks we have seen some of that improvement which creates some hope that the next 103 games for that rotation can be

The Orioles probably welcomed another reset yesterday before beginning a three-game series in Milwaukee, though they won two of three games in San Francisco. Step back, take a breath, assess your own situation, maybe look around the majors and remember how good you have it and that everyone is dealing with something. Every team in the American Leag

Today is Opening Day for the rookie-level Florida Complex League. The O’s FCL squad opens at home in Sarasota at Ed Smith Stadium at Noon against the FCL Red Sox. The Orioles’ year-round baseball operations continue again this summer with the play of the FCL Orioles. The FCL O’s are scheduled to play 28 home games between today and Aug. 22, with po

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi will throw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the Washington Nationals’ Night OUT celebration on Tuesday, June 6, as a special guest of the game’s presenting partner, Team DC. This year’s Night OUT celebration is the club’s 18th, making it the longest-running Pride event in Major League Baseball. The first 20,000 f

It was an eventful week for the Nationals. It started in Los Angeles with three competitive games at Dodger Stadium, capped by an impressive, five-homer performance in a series-closing victory. It ended in D.C. with three competitive games at Nationals Park, capped by an unfortunate, five-homer performance by the Phillies in a series-closing victor

SAN FRANCISCO – When the series began on Friday the Orioles had lost back-to-back series for the first time all year. Their pitching staff had gotten torched for 12 runs on Wednesday versus Cleveland with the bullpen giving up 11 runs. But during a weekend where they faced a San Francisco Giants team that had won four of its last five series and wa

The Orioles might get spoiled with all of these off-days. Two since finishing their homestand on Wednesday. They left San Francisco yesterday and continue their rare-visit tour with a stop in Milwaukee. The Brewers swept the Orioles in a three-game set at Miller Park in July 2017, and if you remember that Jayson Aquino started in the series finale,

SAN FRANCISCO – In the first two games of this series at Oracle Park – where they had gone 1-1 – the Orioles scored just three runs on nine hits versus the San Francisco Giants. They scored in just two of their 18 innings at bat in those games and were scoreless going into the third inning today. But suddenly the runs came in a bunch. The

The entire weekend seemed to have been building up to this moment, with Kyle Schwarber stepping to the plate for the Phillies in a big spot in a close ballgame and Davey Martinez left to decide which of his Nationals pitchers to entrust against the veteran slugger. Martinez’s options with two on and two out in the top of the sixth this afternoon we

SAN FRANCISCO - The Orioles and Giants have exchanged victories in the first two games of this weekend series. The Orioles won 3-2 Friday and were held to five hits in last night's 4-0 loss. Former O's right-hander Alex Cobb went 7 2/3 innings, allowing five hits with no walks and seven strikeouts on 103 pitches. He is now 5-2 with a 2.71 ERA. This
