Zach Wilt: All-Star Game nod long overdue for Nick Markakis

Zach Wilt: All-Star Game nod long overdue for Nick Markakis
A familiar face is leading the National League's All-Star voting for outfielders: our old pal, Nick Markakis, who at 34 looks like he will finally get a very well deserved first trip to the mid-summer classic. I can't think of anyone more overdue for the honor. Markakis has spent 13 years in the big leagues playing in more than 1,900 games. As Orioles fans are well aware, nine of those years were spent in Baltimore, where he was drafted in the first round in 2003, played through the minor...

Josh Michael: Keegan Akin trending up, possibly O's best pitching prospect

Josh Michael: Keegan Akin trending up, possibly O's best pitching prospect
There's no sugarcoating it, there's not a lot to be excited about for Orioles fans at the moment. There are, however, several prospects that have seen their stock rise in 2018, and among the top of the class is left-handed pitcher Keegan Akin. Akin, 23, was selected by the Orioles in the second round of the 2016 First-Year Player Draft out of Western Michigan. Along with right-handed pitchers Cody Sedlock and Matthias Dietz, the O's used their top three choices in that draft on pitchers, and...

#VoteOrange to send your favorite Orioles to All-Star Game in D.C.

#VoteOrange to send your favorite Orioles to All-Star Game in D.C.
The second American League All-Star voting update was released Tuesday afternoon, and shortstop Manny Machado remains at the top of the ballot for his position. In last week's first ballot update, Machado held a strong lead over the Indians' Francisco Lindor by more than 110,000 votes. This week, the Orioles' three-time All-Star has almost doubled his lead with 671,133 votes to Astros shortstop Carlos Correa's 458,367. Machado is enjoying a fantastic first half, slashing .310/.377/.567 and...

Zach Wilt: Pitching staff has been hurt by O's reliance on longball

Zach Wilt: Pitching staff has been hurt by O's reliance on longball
Through 67 games this season, the Orioles pitching staff has totaled 32 quality starts. They rank seventh in the major leagues in that category. If you had told me back in February that the O's rotation would rank in the top third of the league in quality starts in 2018 after finishing 27th a season ago, I would have predicted a playoff team with a serious chance of winning the American League East. Who saw this coming? Instead, the Orioles have a winning percentage below .300. They are 27 1/2...

Josh Michael: Checking out the O's Dominican Summer League team
Quick, which Orioles minor league affiliate do you know the least about? Odds are, about half of you said the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League Orioles and the other half probably said either the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Orioles or the short-season Single-A Aberdeen IronBirds because you've never heard about the Dominican Summer League Orioles. The DSL Orioles got their season underway on June 2, and today I thought I would update you on some early standouts thus far. In the Dominican...

Andrew Stetka: Digesting disappointing news about Hunter Harvey

Andrew Stetka: Digesting disappointing news about Hunter Harvey
There's no use trying to sugarcoat what the Orioles are going through this season. It's bad, and has the potential to get worse. They remain the only team in baseball without at least 20 wins nearly midway through June. They are near the bottom in run differential along with every major offensive category and many of the pitching and defensive categories, as well. The snowball is officially rolling down the hill. Many have already called for the young guys to come up and take the place of...

Zach Wilt: Taking numbers with a grain of salt

Zach Wilt: Taking numbers with a grain of salt
Playing the "on pace for" game is dangerous for any sports fan. A team that reels off a bunch of wins early could be on pace for one of the best seasons ever. Remember the Dodgers last season? They had a 44-7 stretch that went from June to August and put them on a pace to win more games than any team in history. They finished 2017 12 wins shy of 116. Sure, it was a good season, but it wasn't what we were all expecting. We see this type of stuff all the time when hitters get hot at the plate....

Josh Michael: Three Shorebirds selected to South Atlantic League All-Star Game, one snubbed
While the Major League Baseball All-Star Game is more than a month away, the minor league All-Star Games will be here before you know it.

Andrew Stetka: Camden Yards charms continue to surprise

Andrew Stetka: Camden Yards charms continue to surprise
The first time I attended a baseball game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, I didn't comprehend what I was doing there. I was merely a youngster, who couldn't have understood the magnitude of the stadium. I knew I enjoyed it. I knew it was majestic and it was part of what caused me to fall in love with not only the Orioles, but with baseball as a whole. There are certain things about it that draw you in. It's the gardens outside home plate plaza, which always seem to be blooming with bright...

Zach Wilt: It's time for Orioles to call up some prospects

Zach Wilt: It's time for Orioles to call up some prospects
Over a third of the way through the 2018 season, it's clear that the Orioles need some changes. Desperate times call for desperate measures, as they say. When you're 21 1/2 games out of first place, it isn't a stretch to say that things aren't working. These are the types of situations where the team needs to just do something different than what they've been doing everyday because clearly the routine just isn't working. This is particularly true with the Orioles offense, which scored...

Josh Michael: Recent promotions clear way for left-hander Cameron Ming
The low Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds got off to a roaring start and thanks in large part to the performance of their starting rotation. A couple of those starters, Michael Baumann and Zac Lowther, have been promoted to high Single-A Frederick, clearing the way for left-hander Cameron Ming. Ming, 22, was selected by the Orioles in the 14th round of the 2017 First-Year Player Draft out of the University of Arizona. With the likes of guys like Brenan Hanifee, Baumann and Lowther on the...

Andrew Stetka: Time has come to take stock of the Orioles

Andrew Stetka: Time has come to take stock of the Orioles
The day has finally come. Memorial Day is here and the self-imposed benchmark for self-evaluation is upon us. The Orioles are 17-36, the second-worst record in baseball behind the White Sox. They have the third-worst run differential in the game at minus-79. They've won a mere seven games away from Camden Yards, the worst road record this season. They are now a full eight games out - of fourth place - in the AL East. The O's are 19 games back of the Red Sox for the division lead and 15 1/2...
