Frank Cashen's enjoyable autobiography rife with insider Orioles memories

Frank Cashen's enjoyable autobiography rife with insider Orioles memories
The last time I saw J. Frank Cashen, the longtime Orioles executive who was an architect of the team's powerhouse clubs from the 1960s and 1970s, was in August 2012 at the annual Orioles Hall of Fame luncheon. I rode an elevator with Cashen, then 86, who reveled in being surrounded by Baltimore baseball fans and Hall of Famers from the club. "Isn't this a fantastic day?" a smiling, ruddy-faced Cashen said when I shook his hand upon being introduced to a man who qualifies as Baltimore...

Zach Wilt: Final thoughts on Orioles' 2014 campaign

Zach Wilt: Final thoughts on Orioles' 2014 campaign
How could I possibly be disappointed in the Orioles' season? Ninety-six regular season wins, an American League East title for the first time since 1997 and a trip to the American League Championship Series. Oh, and the Orioles accomplished all of those feats without Matt Wieters, Manny Machado and even Chris Davis at the end of the season. If you told me way back when pitchers and catchers reported on Feb. 13 that the O's year would run through mid-October, I would have been thrilled. I...

Daniel Clark: The good and bad of the ALCS

Daniel Clark: The good and bad of the ALCS
After three games of the American League Championship Series, there's been a number of key things that haven't gone according to plan for the Orioles, who trail the series 3-0 and require four straight wins in order to progress to their first World Series since 1983. In light of these disappointing results, let's explore the good and bad of the series thus far... The Good Shut down the Royals' speed Much had been made of the Royals' speed on the basepaths prior to the series commencing,...

Matt Kremnitzer: Looking ahead to Game 3 of ALCS

Matt Kremnitzer: Looking ahead to Game 3 of ALCS
Thanks to a heavy dose of rain, Game 3 of the American League Championship Series was postponed last night. So the series will get back up and running tonight. There are a number of ways the Orioles could get back in this series; they certainly have not played their best. And even though Kansas City leads two games to none, the O's could have pilfered one or both of those games with a key hit or two. Each game has been closely contested throughout. One simple way for the Orioles to turn things...

Operation October: From Camden Yards to Kauffman Stadium

Operation October: From Camden Yards to Kauffman Stadium
KANSAS CITY - Rain, rain, go away! It's raining here, which seems to be sort of a theme during this American League Championship Series. The chance of rain during the start time tonight is 100 percent, but we'll see if we can get in Game 3 tonight. (So you're saying there's a chance...) The rain, clouds and gloominess in Kansas City today. pic.twitter.com/RDRMPTh8Ay— Steve Melewski (@masnSteve) October 13, 2014 Regardless of whether or not the teams make it to the field today,...

Andrew Stetka: Probability suggests tide will eventually tilt O's way in ALCS

Andrew Stetka: Probability suggests tide will eventually tilt O's way in ALCS
While the doom and gloom set in, and the dirt continues to be piled on the Orioles as the American League Championship Series shifts to Kansas City, a lot of reason and sense goes out the window. The chances of the O's coming from behind to advance to the World Series for the first time since 1983 have dropped drastically since the start of the ALCS. Those are just the numbers; it's simple probability and statistics of prior history. I'm not going to sit here and pretend I think the Orioles...

Orioles welcome back Knothole Gang, giving 600 children opportunity to experience ALCS

Orioles welcome back Knothole Gang, giving 600 children opportunity to experience ALCS
Postseason baseball at Camden Yards is loud, and one of the loudest cheering sections for the American League Championship Series may just be Section 98. Following the success of the OriolesREACH Knothole Gang in the American League Division Series, the Orioles will once again bring hundreds of children from various groups around the state to Camden Yards, allowing them to experience postseason baseball from their seats in section 98. In its debut during the ALDS, the Knothole Gang allowed more...

Matthew Taylor: Everywhere you look, O's fandom endures

Matthew Taylor: Everywhere you look, O's fandom endures
I arrived for our family vacation in Florida this week with a suitcase stuffed to the feathers with five Orioles hats, seven Orioles T-shirts and an Orioles sweatshirt - and that was after whittling down my baseball clothing options. I'm not ashamed to say that I've become a billboard for Orioles pride of late; I'm absolutely basking in the reflected glory of this American League East title and this postseason run. My dedication won't carry me so far as to get an O's tattoo, although as a...

Zach Wilt: Backs ends of bullpens present interesting ALCS matchup

Zach Wilt: Backs ends of bullpens present interesting ALCS matchup
For years, I preached about the importance of starting pitching in the postseason. In my mind, I firmly believed that the teams with the best rotations had the greatest chance of making a deep run into October. It was all about those four starters and no matter what a team did to hide its lack of starting pitching in the regular season, they would surely be exposed in the playoffs. Suddenly, I'm not so sure that's true anymore. At least not this year. The Tigers added a third Cy Young award...

Daniel Clark: Previewing the Royals-Orioles ALCS

Daniel Clark: Previewing the Royals-Orioles ALCS
If someone told me six months ago that the two teams competing for the American League championship would be the Orioles and Royals, I'd probably have told them they were dreaming. Back in March, I would have argued that while each team was capable of competing with the best, a lot of things would need to fall into line for the two to outlast powerful American League rivals such the Tigers, Athletics, Angels and the defending world champion Red Sox. Just as the Orioles did to the Tigers, the...

Matt Kremnitzer: Orioles shedding underdog status, gaining respect
The Orioles are no longer underdogs Even though the Orioles finished with six more wins during the regular season, many still viewed the Detroit Tigers as the favorites to win the American League Division Series. And yet the Orioles dispatched Detroit in just three games. Fans drinking nothing but orange Kool-Aid likely would not have even predicted a sweep against Detroit. But the Orioles demonstrated that they had the more complete team. Before the ALDS, Adam Jones hinted at the team's...

Matthew Taylor: Hoping to fulfill parade promise to my son

Matthew Taylor: Hoping to fulfill parade promise to my son
Baseball is the World Series and a championship team! Celebration and parades, confetti in the streets. And maybe, just maybe, this year that team is your team. Because in baseball, anything is possible. I promised my son a parade. We've read the book "Baseball Is ..." several times ever since my father purchased it as a gift for his grandson. That grandson has always loved the section quoted above, which begins on a page illustrated with players in a pileup, the word "Champs!" on the...

Zach Wilt: Who has advantage in ALDS matchup?
The first pitch of Orioles postseason is just hours away. For me, like just about everyone in Birdland, it can't come soon enough. Who else has had trouble sleeping this week? It feels like forever since the O's took the field, even longer since they were at Camden Yards. While the American League East champs have prepared for the Detroit Tigers to come to town, this nervous fan has spent days researching the Birds opponent from every possible angle. After reading thousands of words in...

Daniel Clark: Four keys to Orioles having ALDS success

Daniel Clark: Four keys to Orioles having ALDS success
With the regular season having come to a close, now is a good opportunity to reflect on expectations for the 2014 season and appreciate just how impressive this Orioles team has performed. Despite the numerous injuries and suspensions during the journey, a 96-66 record, a 12-game division lead and a ninth American League East title was probably more than what even the most optimistic Orioles fan expected. And now, as the postseason swings into gear, the city of Baltimore holds high hopes that...
