PART 1: SOME O’S THAT NEED TO GO
I’ll be the first to tell you that Andy MacPhail has given this team direction. The Orioles finished with one less win in 2008 than they did in 2007 but I still feel a lot better about the team’s future than I have in the past five or […]
A serious lack of pitching
By BSR at 29 August, 2008, 12:18 pm
Thank the baseball Gods that Orioles’ ace Jeremy Guthrie pitches tonight. He is really the tiny speck of glue holding this rotation together at this point and when the O’s go up against Scott Kazmir we’d all like to see Guthrie take the hill.

It seems like a few of the consistents for the Orioles have struggled in their last couple appearances.
The Orioles starters have allowed 23 runs in their past 5 starts, averaging just 5.1 innings pitched.
Daniel Cabrera, who was noted for his turn around at the beginning of the 2008 season has been responsible for 4 of those runs […]

By BSR at 28 May, 2008, 3:24 am
Another beautiful day at Camden Yards turned into yet another rain delay. I swear the birds can’t finish a game in under 3 hours.
