#TBT: Orioles thank J.J. Hardy after walk-off

November 25, 2015, 8:12am

Orioles

Happy Thanksgiving, Birdland! I hope that your holiday is filled with turkey, mashed potatoes and - if you're like me - literally stuffing yourself with stuffing. I know you've got some pie to get to, so we'll get right to our #TBT moment of the week. It was a late May game, and Miguel Gonzalez was throwing a gem. He allowed just one earned run while striking out six over eight great innings. However, it was just a 1-1 game by the time he exited. In the bottom of the ninth, the Orioles had...

#TBT: Steve Pearce homers off 2015 Cy Young winner Dallas Keuchel

As shown by yesterday's Cy Young awards, Houston's Dallas Keuchel was the most dominant pitcher in the American League this season. The lefty took home the hardware last night after pitching to a 20-8 record and a 2.48 ERA. A perfect 15-0 at home, his eight losses came on the road, and the first one came at the hands of the Baltimore Orioles on Memorial Day. However, the All-Star lefty battled. He pitched a complete game, but took the loss as the Orioles chalked up four earned runs against...

#TBT: Chris Davis' second homer of game leads to walk-off win

The Silver Slugger Award winners will be announced tonight, so there's no better time to throw back to a player who has a great chance of taking home some hardware: Chris Davis. A Silver Slugger winner in 2013, Crush returned to form in 2015 and finished the season with a major league-leading 47 homers. Two of them came on the night of Aug. 15 against the A's. With the O's trailing Oakland 3-0 in the fourth, Davis stepped up to the plate and smacked a two-run homer. The Orioles added another...

What do you mean there's no more baseball? Another exciting season has come and gone, and while we look ahead to what will likely be a busy offseason for the Orioles, we'll also look back at some of the amazing plays and moments from 2015. Every offseason, we post one of our favorite clips of the previous season each Thursday in our #TBT series. And who better to kick off this year's series than Manny Machado? The third baseman, who turned 23 this season, was the only player in the major...

Matthew Taylor: Comparing this year's Orioles with franchise greats

October 02, 2015, 6:12am

Orioles

The 2015 season has been a disappointing one for the Orioles. However, multiple players have posted impressive totals that rank with some of the greatest individual efforts in franchise history. Here's a look at those efforts and the O's greats they bring to mind. Young and mighty: Manny Machado and Boog Powell Manny Machado has had a stellar season at the plate. On Thursday, he became the Orioles' first 20-20 player since Brady Anderson in 1999 and the O's fifth 20-20 player overall. Paul...

MASN cameraman becomes first "American Ninja Warrior"

Before sitting down to write this article, I worked out a little bit, laboring through a run before realizing that it takes every ounce of my strength to do a single push-up. But anyway, moving on to talk about "American Ninja Warrior," if you're unfamiliar with the show's premise, people compete in an extremely vigorous obstacle course that requires tons of strength, endurance and agility. Currently in its seventh season, the American version of the show (which originated in Japan) had...

Zach Wilt: Motivation for the offseason

October 01, 2015, 4:46am

Orioles

Champagne was popped last night at Camden Yards as the stadium hosted an American League East champion celebration for the second consecutive season. This year, however, it was a bit different from 2014's festivities. It was the visiting clubhouse that was covered in plastic and the modest home crowd contained just a few thousand unenthused fans as the Toronto Blue Jays won their first division title in 22 years. In 2014, the scene was just the opposite. Fireworks blasted into the September...

Domenic Vadala: Heading into the offseason

Every year at the end of the season (postseason or not), I feel as if a blindfold has been removed from my head. Make no mistake about the fact that baseball season is and always will be No. 1 in my heart. However, from the time when hope springs eternal in March until the end, that's really all I'm able to see and hear. I tend to forget that there's an outside world that's not Orioles-centric. The season never really ends for me in a sense, as we publish fresh content daily at Birds...

Matt Kremnitzer: O's need to put right pieces around Machado

Going into next year and beyond, there's a lot to be worried about when it comes to the Orioles. There are plenty of question marks: Which players will return? Who will leave for other teams? Will the farm system improve? Will the Orioles rectify their player development issues? How long do Dan Duquette and/or Buck Showalter stick around? At the same time, though, the Orioles also have the luxury of a young superstar to build around: Manny Machado. Somehow still only 23, Machado is approaching...

Andrew Stetka: For Orioles, goals have changed in season's final week

Orioles

The Orioles face a daunting task as they enter their final week of 2015. No longer in the running to repeat as American League East champions, and barely hanging on as wild card contenders, the O's are now simply trying to stack as many wins as possible heading into the offseason. A few weeks back, I looked at the team's struggles in the same negative light that many did. Even through that, I was able to search for and find positives. Now, as the team approaches the 81-loss mark, there's...

Matthew Taylor: A surprising outcome from O's sweep of Nationals

What could be more surprising from this week's series with the Washington Nationals than the Orioles getting the sweep in D.C.? For me, it's the fact that I came away with a greater appreciation and respect for Bryce Harper. The heated three-game set left me thinking less about rivalry and more about respect, starting first and foremost with the Nationals' young superstar. Go figure. If you're not a Nationals fan, it's easy to dislike Harper. He's a classic case of the guy you would love...
