Looking back at our favorite Orioles memories through Instagram
The 2013 season was another fantastic year at Camden Yards. Spending the summer days at Orioles games led to many great memories for me - Manny Machado's spectacular plays at third base, Chris Davis' insane year at the plate, and simply watching the sun set behind the stadium every night. On our Instagram feed, we asked you to post your favorite memories of 2013 with #masnOrioles. We got a great response, with people sharing pictures of their favorite players, photos of a beautiful sunset,...

Yard Work: Plan the work, work the plan, leave nothing to chance
Camden Yards is a gem, a rare baseball cathedral that blends classic, retro style with today's version of the national pastime. But its lush outfield grass and manicured infield don't happen by accident. They're the result of a year-round effort by head groundskeeper Nicole McFadyen and her talented grounds crew. Each month during this offseason, Orioles Buzz will check in with McFadyen to see what's happening on the field at Camden Yards as the grounds crew prepares for the 2014...

In O's glory years, Blair made the impossible grabs seem routine

In O's glory years, Blair made the impossible grabs seem routine
News tonight that former Orioles center fielder Paul Blair has died at 69 hits hard. It's another of the players from the team's glory years gone too soon, another piece of Baltimore baseball history we'll no longer be able to reminisce with. I'll remember how he glided across the outfield green on 33rd Street, making the impossible seem routine. And the smile perpetually on his face. Blair was quite simply the best center fielder I ever saw, and growing up in Baltimore during the 1960s...

Weekly Wrap: O's offseason picking up, but not without problems
After a slow Winter Meetings, the Orioles' offseason seemed to pick up. However, it has not been without bumps in the road. To fill the void left by Jim Johnson, the Orioles sought out Grant Balfour. After the Birds had agreed with the the closer on a two-year, $15-million contract, news broke that there were complications with his physical, seriously jeopardizing the deal. Dan Duquette will speak to the media later today, so be sure to check in to the School of Roch for the latest...

Throwback Thursday: Saying farewell to B-Rob
Earlier this week, Brian Roberts agreed to a one-year contract with the Yankees, ending his time in Baltimore. Roberts was drafted by the Orioles in the 1999 First-Year Player Draft and went on to become a two-time All-Star and a career .278/.349/.412 hitter in 13 seasons. To honor B-Rob's career with the Orioles, we're throwin' it back to one of his most memorable moments from 2013. Your browser does not support iframes.

Weekly Wrap: O's leave Florida without making big move
The Winter Meetings have come and gone. While Dan Duquette said Monday that the Orioles "should be adding more players by the end of the week," they returned from Florida with just two Rule 5 draft picks. Although rumors swirling around had the Birds linked with many names, including Raul Ibanez and Nelson Cruz, they left without much to show. In an attempt to fill the void left by the Jim Johnson trade, the Orioles put a two-year offer on the table for closer Grant Balfour. In addition,...

Almanzar was signed by the Boston Red Sox as a non-tender free agent back in 2007 and the 23-year-old has spent his entire career in the Sox' farm system. Now he's heading south to Baltimore, where he'll join the club's 40-man roster. For reaction from the Orioles front office and notes on the...

Throwback Thursday: Manny's monster smash
Many Orioles fans have felt a little more anxiety and frustration this week because the team has yet to make a big move at the Winter Meetings. With that said, this week's Throwback Thursday is dedicated to giving fans a little pick-me-up with a small dose of Orioles magic. Early in the season, the Birds were trailing 5-3 headed into the top of the ninth in Boston. The O's managed to tie the game thanks to a Chris Davis solo home run and a wild pitch that allowed Alexi Casilla to score from...

Throwback Thursday: Johnson's last save with the Birds
The big news of the week was the Orioles' trade that sent Jim Johnson to the Atheltics in exchange for infielder Jemile Weeks and a player to be named. Many Baltimore fans were sad to see the closer go after back-to-back seasons with at least 50 saves. In honor of Johnson's time with the Birds, we're throwin' it back to his 50th save of the 2013 season, his last save in an Orioles uniform. Your browser does not support iframes.

Throwback Thursday: Some left field lovin'
Earlier this week, Dan Duquette stated that the Orioles will offer Nolan Reimold a contract. In 2014, Reimold will compete for a job in left field and to serve as the right-handed designated hitter. With that said, that leaves us wondering if the O's will re-sign free agent Nate McLouth, who played in 146 games last season and acted as the Birds' go-to left fielder. This week, we're showing McLouth some love by throwin' it back to one of his best defensive plays from 2013. Your browser...

Weekly Wrap: The 40-man roster and important dates on horizon
If you're anything like me, the blockbuster trade announced this week - sending Ian Kinsler to Detroit and Prince Fielder to Texas - made you that much more excited for baseball season. Is it opening day yet? More specifically, is it May 30? On this date, the Astros and Orioles will play in MLB's annual Civil Rights Game in 2014. Should be a game to remember and an awesome event. So, it's not May 30? Is it Feb. 1 yet? The O's announced the date as the day of FanFest. In addition, the...

Weekly Wrap: New hires and trade rumors dominate Orioles headlines
Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy has been in the national spotlight this offseason, as he was awarded both Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards. However, the latest place his name has been seen is the rumor mill. Both Hardy and Matt Wieters have been subjects of trade rumors this week. However, Dan Duquette said that the O's "like Hardy and Wieters as core players on our ballclub."
