Jon Shepherd: O's forged on contributions of unwanted and overlooked

Jon Shepherd: O's forged on contributions of unwanted and overlooked
A friend of mine lived in Montana for most of his life and came to Baltimore to attend law school. Before driving into town the night before classes began, he had never set foot here. He was recruited for the school from afar and he signed his rental agreement on a row home from afar. As his old pickup limped across the country and into town around 3 a.m. that morning, he saw something that was forever etched in his memory. Parking in the alley behind the row home, he saw something in his...

Andrew Stetka: O's hit a home run with 60th anniversary celebration

Andrew Stetka: O's hit a home run with 60th anniversary celebration
As an out-of-town fan living in Arizona, I always make it a point to come back into Baltimore for an Orioles game at least once a year. The opportunity to come to Camden Yards, where I saw so many games growing up and spent a great deal of my childhood, is always a treat and a chance I don't pass up. There was little debate as to when I'd be coming back for a game this season once I saw what was planned for the O's 60th anniversary celebration. Getting back in August, when the heat in the...

#IChallengeAJ: Take on Jones in burger-building Fan Challenge, presented by CareFirst (updated)

#IChallengeAJ: Take on Jones in burger-building Fan Challenge, presented by CareFirst (updated)
If you follow Orioles center fielder Adam Jones on Twitter or watch his postgame interviews, you've probably seen or heard his famous "Stay Hungry" slogan. While known for his stellar play on the field, when you hear "Adam Jones," you also think of his love of food. He even created his own signature burger, the @SimplyAJ10 at The Abbey Burger Bistro in Baltimore. Check out the delicious-looking burger below. (Author's note: I've had the @SimplyAJ10 burger, and it was...

Daniel Clark: O's winning despite struggling offense

Daniel Clark: O's winning despite struggling offense
As the first week of August nears its end, the Orioles have found themselves in a position that hasn't been seen all that often since returning to their winning ways in 2012. During the successful seasons of 2012 and 2013, the O's offense was rarely the No. 1 cause for concern, as that worry typically focused on inconsistent starting pitching. Powerful lineups in each of those two seasons - led by the likes of Adam Jones, Chris Davis, Matt Wieters, Manny Machado and J.J. Hardy - ensured O's...

Heart transplant recipient, avid "School of Roch" fan Fahs to throw out first pitch
Scott Fahs grew up envying the likes of Eddie Murray, Jim Palmer and Mike Mussina.

Daniel Clark: Pitching now the key to Orioles' winning ways

Daniel Clark: Pitching now the key to Orioles' winning ways
As August approaches and the Orioles hold on to the outright lead in first place, there is a growing expectation among the fan base that 2014 will be the year in which the American League East title finally returns to Baltimore for the first time since 1997. When the Orioles went close to breaking the pennant drought in 2012, it was the strength of the bullpen (3.00 ERA) and offensive power (214 home runs) that covered up for an inconsistent starting rotation. That rotation, which saw an...

Jon Shepherd: The first half does not matter

Jon Shepherd: The first half does not matter
It is natural to think of the most recent occurrences to be the product of a new realization. That is, if a player all of a sudden has a monster first half or a terrible first half, then that player is defined by that play. However, if the only bits of information you have are projections from the beginning of the year and how a player has performed so far, then you can ignore the latter and focus solely on the former. In other words, it is more likely that Nelson Cruz's preseason projection...

Andrew Stetka: Road success shows O's postseason dreams are a reality

Andrew Stetka: Road success shows O's postseason dreams are a reality
There's previously been some doubt surrounding the Orioles' ability to hang with the upper class of the American League. After a 6-4 road trip against the three best teams in the AL West, there's no longer any doubt that they have that ability. The O's have carried the third-best record in the AL since the end of May and the pitching of late has been spectacular. Everyone on the outside looks at the Orioles and sees an offensive juggernaut that lacks the arms to succeed in October, but if...

Matthew Taylor: Random acts of ballpark kindness

Matthew Taylor: Random acts of ballpark kindness
Have you experienced a random act of ballpark kindness? Better yet, have you performed one? It seems we've heard much in recent years about boorish ballpark behavior. The most publicized incidents have involved fights between opposing fans that resulted in serious injuries. It's enough to make even the most dedicated fan consider passing up on the peanuts and Cracker Jack and decide to never go back. Less publicized are the simple kindnesses shared between strangers that add to the fun of...

Gausman battles division rival in donut-eating contest

Gausman battles division rival in donut-eating contest
Kevin Gausman is known for more than his skills on the mound. His donut-eating reputation has made its way to the big stage, so MLB Fan Cave decided to put it to the test. Gausman went up against American League East rival Marcus Stroman of the Blue Jays to find out who could eat six powdered donuts the quickest. I won't spoil the ending for you, but let's just say it was a nail-biter. Or should I say donut-biter? Too corny? OK, just watch the battle below. Your browser does not support...

Zach Wilt: J.J. Hardy's puzzling season

Zach Wilt: J.J. Hardy's puzzling season
While Adam Jones, Nelson Cruz and even Steve Pearce have deservedly been credited with leading the Orioles' march to the top of the American League East, it's important to recognize the role that J.J. Hardy has played this season. If you glance quickly at the power numbers, Hardy's season may appear to be a disappointment. The Orioles shortstop has hit four home runs this year and is on pace to finish 2014 with seven. Hardy has averaged 25 homers a season since joining the O's in 2011,...

Daniel Clark: Through adversity, Machado shows he's gaining maturity

Daniel Clark: Through adversity, Machado shows he's gaining maturity
At times, it's very easy to forget that Manny Machado is just 22. The 2014 season has presented a number of significant challenges for the talented young third baseman, but despite the troubles, it appears that he has come through it for the better. Starting the season on the sidelines after a horrific knee injury last September, Machado's rehab took slightly longer than Orioles fans had originally hoped. When the 2013 Platinum Glove winner wasn't ready for opening day, it gave yet another...

From walk-offs to diving plays and more, the Orioles have made their 52 first-half wins exciting to watch. Without further ado, let's relive some of our favorite plays from the Birds' first half of the season. Nick Markakis made a great diving catch, then threw to second to complete the double play.

National buzz surrounding O's after first half of the season

National buzz surrounding O's after first half of the season
Although teams have technically played more than half of their games, the All-Star festivities serve as a clean break in the season, offering a time for players, managers, front offices, spectators and national writers to evaluate teams' seasons so far. And for the O's, all seems well when looking at their record. The Orioles, who in the offseason were projected to sit toward the bottom of the tough American League East, are in first place and have a four-game lead over the second-place Blue...

Matthew Taylor: Where O's record is concerned, no apologies necessary

Matthew Taylor: Where O's record is concerned, no apologies necessary
Baseball's intermission is over. The second act of the 2014 season is about to get under way. Before we dim the house lights and take in the rest of the show, let's be clear about one thing: Orioles fans don't need to apologize for the team's success. The Orioles have their share of critics despite leading the American League East at the All-Star break for the first time since 1997. I was reminded of that reality by a fellow baseball fan this week when he commented of the O's first-place...

Matthew Taylor: The hits just keep coming

Matthew Taylor: The hits just keep coming
The Orioles had two batters log five hits in a game within the course of two days this past week. Nelson Cruz went 5-for-5 in a 7-4 win against the Red Sox. Manny Machado then followed suit with a 5-for-6 night at the plate in Monday's 8-2 win against the Nationals. Both players fell one hit short of the team record, which Cal Ripken Jr. established on June 13, 1999 at Atlanta. Had Cruz and Machado been playing at home, they would have matched the team record for most hits in a home game,...

Yard Talk: Battle of the Beltways

Yard Talk: Battle of the Beltways
This season's Battle of the Beltways kicked off on Monday in D.C. A lot of Orioles fans made the trip south to make sure there was a lot of orange at Nationals Park. On Wednesday, the battle made its way up 295 to Camden Yards. While there were Nationals fans in the stands, Baltimore fans represented to keep the Yard orange. We had Kevin Stanfield take a trip to Eutaw Street to find out how much of a rivalry exists between the Nationals and Orioles. Do you think it's a rivalry?

Zach Wilt: Machado heating up for first-place Orioles

Zach Wilt: Machado heating up for first-place Orioles
Make no mistake about it, with the American League East wide open for the taking, I fully expect that the Orioles will be aggressive at the trade deadline. Despite falling 6-2 to the Nationals on Wednesday night, the O's still find themselves in first place in the American League East, 2 1/2 games ahead of the free-falling Toronto Blue Jays, who have lost six of seven games. The defending world champion Boston Red Sox are now 11 games below .500 and in last place, the Tampa Bay Rays appear to...

Daniel Clark: Bottom of O's lineup providing a spark

Daniel Clark: Bottom of O's lineup providing a spark
The Orioles have had a successful past nine days, winning seven of eight games and moving themselves into first place in the American League East, 2 1/2 games clear of the Toronto Blue Jays. As with any wining period, there have been a number of elements working well for the Birds and one of them has been the extremely impressive performances from the bottom third of the lineup. Since the start of the Texas series last week, the Orioles' bottom three have hit to a .309 average (29-for-94) and...
