Quality start not good enough for Arrieta

Quality start not good enough for Arrieta
After throwing six strong innings yesterday against the division-leading Rays and earning his third win in his last four starts, Jake Arrieta could have given himself a nice big pat on the back. He'd allowed just two runs on four hits to one of the hottest teams in baseball. He'd struck out seven Rays, earned his third straight quality start and picked up his fifth win, tying him for the Orioles' team lead. Following a day like that, I'd say Arrieta would have been well within his right...

Reynolds, Lee adjusting to life in a new league

Reynolds, Lee adjusting to life in a new league
When Mark Reynolds first learned that he'd been traded from the Diamondbacks and would be moving over to the American League, he chose not to believe the long-standing theory that it takes players time to adapt to playing in a new league. The Orioles' third baseman says he was "skeptical" of the idea that he would need to adjust to new pitchers and what they brought at him, and thought his transition to the American League would be fairly seamless. And now, after playing in the AL for...

Stepping inside Buck Showalter's office for his inaugural video blog

Stepping inside Buck Showalter's office for his inaugural video blog
The 2011 season has been a bit of a roller coaster ride for Orioles manager Buck Showalter, whose team started off 6-1, then lost eight in a row before snapping the lengthy losing streak at home. With the O's in the middle of a 10-game homestand, Showalter took some time out of his busy schedule and welcomed me into his office for his inaugural MASNsports.com video blog. The O's manager talked about the continued efforts to get a winning culture established in Baltimore, and how he uses the...

In defeat, we learned a lot about Britton

In defeat, we learned a lot about Britton
It wasn't all going to be all roses and gumdrops for Zach Britton in his major league career. After two dominating efforts in his first two major league starts - Britton had allowed just one run in 13 2/3 innings prior to last night, earning two wins in the process - the left-hander finally proved he is, in fact, human. It's sad to read, I know. But it's true. Britton was touched by the Indians for five runs in six innings of work. He allowed eight hits and gave up the first home run of...

Yankees series could serve as an early measuring stick

Yankees series could serve as an early measuring stick
So far this season, the Orioles have looked like contenders, a team that on any night can compete with the top rosters in the American League. They swept the suddenly hapless Rays, took two of three from Detroit, and hung with the defending AL champion Rangers - with the exception of that ugly Saturday night beatdown. But nine games is a pretty small sample size. We've seen Orioles teams get off to hot starts in the past, and then fall apart down the stretch. It's impossible to predict...

Don't downplay Wieters' impact on 4-0 start

Don't downplay Wieters' impact on 4-0 start
Matt Wieters has gotten a bit of heat for how he's fared early on in his major league career. You might be aware of this by now. Following a 2010 season in which Wieters hit just .249 with 11 home runs and 55 RBIs, some baseball publications were already calling him a bust, and analysts and scouts might have been left wondering whether they'd missed on a can't-miss prospect. Well, just four games into the 2011 season, it's already clear how much of a factor the Orioles' young catcher is...

Camden Yards to host championship of inaugural President's Cup tournament

Camden Yards to host championship of inaugural President's Cup tournament
Come Saturday April 16, Oriole Park at Camden Yards will play host to an intense, pressure-packed game with plenty on the line. Nope, the Yankees aren't in town to face the O's that weekend, and the Red Sox won't be setting up shop in the visitor's clubhouse, either. The players taking the field at Camden Yards that day will be members of two Baltimore city high schools, and they'll be duking it out for the championship of the inaugural President's Cup. This morning, flanked by...
