Throwback Thursday: "Get that man a quarterback job"

This week, there's been a lot of buzz surrounding Manny Machado's appearance at the Orioles' minicamp. After season-ending surgery in 2014, the third baseman explained that he's itching to get back out there. In just 82 games this season, Machado reminded fans about his flashy, award-winning defense. He also reminded Albert Pujols ... twice. In the second game of the Birds' home series against the Angels, Pujols hit a grounder down the third base line. Gary Thorne's play-by-play call says...

Olivia Witherite: Orioles dominate after off-days

June 24, 2012, 8:51pm

Orioles

Off-days are nice for a lot of reasons. For the Orioles today, it means resting Matt Wieters after he caught a day game after a night game and had a big day at the plate. It means a chance for the Birds to rest at home before beginning a tough series against some great pitching, including the arms of C.J. Wilson and Jered Weaver. It allows the 'pen, which has been called on often, a day to recuperate in some measure before having to face rookie sensation Mike Trout and some guy named Albert...

Throwback Thursday: The best play of 2014

It may be 2015, but that doesn't mean we can't look back on the Orioles' most memorable moments from last season. On that note, let's take a look back at the best defensive play from 2014. In case you don't already have an idea of which play I'm referring to, let me break it down for you. The Rays had runners on first and second with no outs in the sixth inning. Evan Longoria crushed a ball deep to center field, sending Adam Jones back to the wall. Jones not only reached over the fence...

Throwback Thursday: Young's memorable moment in Baltimore

In the Orioles' search for an outfielder, they have said that they would like to re-sign Delmon Young. Young's bat was the O's secret weapon off the bench all season, so when the Birds were down by two runs with the bases loaded in the eighth inning of Game 2 of the American League Division series, Buck Showalter decided to pinch-hit Young. We all know what happened next. I get goosebumps just thinking about it. Watch Young's bases-clearing double in the video below and check back...

Throwback Thursday: Pearce's fierce grab

It's the final day of Winter Meetings and the Orioles have yet to make a move. Dan Duquette and the O's still have holes to fill, perhaps most evidently in the outfield. Buck Showalter has stated that Steve Pearce currently projects as the starting right fielder. Last season, Pearce played 40 games in the outfield, recording 75 putouts and five assists while committing no errors in 271 innings. Don't remember his skills covering the green? This week, I'm throwin' it back to one of...

Nick Markakis thanks Orioles fans

December 10, 2014, 4:57am

Orioles

Of course, Baltimore admired Nick Markakis' on-field performance year in and year out, but it was his quiet leadership and charitable work in the community that made Baltimore fall in love with him. Just as Orioles fans began to love Markakis, the right fielder fell in love with Baltimore. A week after making the decision to sign with the Atlanta Braves, Markakis took out a two-page ad in the Baltimore Sun to give thanks for Orioles fans and the city he calls home.

Throwback Thursday: One final Markakis moment

Last night, Nick Markakis agreed to a four-year, $44 million deal with the Braves, ending his 11-year tenure with the Orioles organization. There's a lot to remember when you look back at Markakis' time in Baltimore. The right fielder was a consistent force defensively and offensively, but arguably the most memorable moment of his career isn't an amazing catch or clutch home run. After 1,352 games of wearing orange and black, Markakis had a priceless reaction when he heard "Your 2014...

Like every offseason, the Orioles starting rotation has become a primary focus. But this year is a little different than most. The O's seem to have too many starting pitchers, ending the season with six potential starters to fill five rotation spots. With that being said, a few of the O's hurlers have been mentioned in the never-ending rumor mill of trade talks. While Baltimore fans wait to see who stays and who goes, let's throw it back to one of the best pitching performances of 2014....

The other: The man who made #StayHungry a catchphrase around the city, none other than Adam Jones himself. Andrew was chosen among many others who entered the CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield Fan Challenge. He tweeted a picture of his best handcrafted burger, confident that he could take down Jones in a burger-building contest. After seeing...

On Tuesday, Buck Showalter was named the American League Manager of the Year by the Baseball Writers' Association of America for the third time in his career. This is far from a surprise for Orioles fans. Baltimore has had a front-row seat to watch just how much of a positive impact Showalter has made on the city and the team. Perhaps the sweetest moment of the skipper's career in Baltimore was the night the O's clinched their first division title in 17 years. Fans got to see a rare thing...
