Post-game Notes: Yankees complete the sweep

Post-game Notes: Yankees complete the sweep
The Yankees improve to 12-3 on the season vs. the Orioles with 10 straight wins. They have three sweeps of three games vs. the Birds on the year. They are 6-3 vs. the Birds in Baltimore and 6-0 at Yankee Stadium. The last time the Yankees won as many as ten in a row vs. the Orioles was from April 21 to June 29, 1955. Dave Trembley talks with the media after the O's 10-2 loss to the Yankees Berken was solid - O's starter Jason Berken pitched well in getting a no decision. Over 5 1/3, he...

Waring wore out Carolina League pitching

Waring wore out Carolina League pitching
Not many O's fans will remember Stanton Cameron. But in 1992 he hit 29 homers for the Frederick Keys. His name is worth mentioning in a story about Brandon Waring because Cameron is the only player to ever hit more homers for Frederick than Waring did this year. The 23-year-old Waring, who joined Double-A Bowie on Tuesday, batted .273-26-90 this year with 35 doubles in 128 games for the Keys. (Waring homered and drove in five runs in his first Bowie game Tuesday night). Quite a performance...

That's one way to win a batting title

That's one way to win a batting title
In his first year in pro ball, Robbie Widlansky batted .181 for Aberdeen in 48 games in 2007. Now, the 24-year-old lefty hitter is just a few days away from likely claiming the batting title this year in the Carolina League. That's quite an accomplishment for a player that didn't play his first game for the Keys until May 22nd and who right now is not listed among the Carolina League batting leaders because he doesn't have enough plate appearances to qualify. Widlansky enters Friday's...

B-Rob on batting third and a possible milestone

B-Rob on batting third and a possible milestone
Brian Roberts said he probably batted third in college. Tonight, he'll hit third in the Orioles' lineup for the first time ever as a Major Leaguer. "Dave asked me about if I cared, I don't care, it's just a spot in the lineup," Roberts said. "I'm going to try and hit homers," Roberts joked. "No, I'll do what I normally do. The only thing that changes is the first inning." Roberts isn't sure if this will become his spot for the rest of the year or not. "I don't know. It...

Matusz talks about his win over Texas

Matusz talks about his win over Texas
After he gave up three runs, including a homer, in the first inning today, it didn't look like Brian Matusz would pitch deep into this game. But the rookie lefty settled down and settled in and pitched seven innings vs. Texas to get his fourth Major League win. "I didn't feel like I struggled in the first, I just made some bad pitches. The home run ball was up. But I felt like I had good stuff. I was in a good rhythm today. But's it's tough to say you'll have a good game when you...

With some help, Wieters is making strides on defense

With some help, Wieters is making strides on defense
It was the first inning of a game on August 14th at Camden Yards. The LA Angels were in town and one of the game's best base stealers, Chone Figgins, was on first base. He broke for second with the pitch. Catcher Matt Wieters jumped quickly out of his crouch and fired a strike to second to gun down Figgins. In the dugout at the time was O's minor league catching instructor Don Werner, someone who has spent a lot of time with Wieters the past two seasons. He glanced at his stopwatch,...
