"Orioles Classics" rewind: Offense aplenty and a memorable no-hitter

"Orioles Classics" rewind: Offense aplenty and a memorable no-hitter
Home runs happen all the time. Well, at least it feels that way at Camden Yards. Especially when the summer heat and humidity settles over the ballpark, the ball seems to zoom over the fences with great regularity. But not all baseball highlights are of the offensive variety, as this week's smattering of "Orioles Classics" demonstrates. Sure, we've got your weekly allotment of homeric hoists, but we've also got the rarest of rare baseball feats: the no-hitter. And not just any no-hitter,...

"Orioles Classics" rewind: Home runs and history abound

"Orioles Classics" rewind: Home runs and history abound
Admit it, you love home runs. I mean, who doesn't? Whether it's a solo blast flying through the warm, summer air to stake the Orioles to a lead or a timely clout in the bottom of the ninth to guarantee a victory, few things beat a roundtripper to bring a baseball crowd to its feet. Even when you're seated comfortably in your recliner, you'll probably fist pump, high-five a family member or shout "Goodbye, home run!" with Gary Thorne when a no-doubter flies off an Oriole's bat. Well, if...

Sod replacement underway at Camden Yards

Sod replacement underway at Camden Yards
If you happen to stroll down Eutaw Street en route for M&T Bank Stadium for tonight's Ravens game - or anytime in the near future - don't be surprised if you glance toward the Camden Yards field and see a lot less green than usual. Sod replacement at the ballpark began today and will run through about Dec. 1, the Orioles announced this afternoon. As I type this, the infield grass is gone, reduced to brown dirt in the past couple of hours by a machine that chewed up the sod and spit it...

Orioles to celebrate 25th anniversary season at OPACY with commemorative logo

Orioles to celebrate 25th anniversary season at OPACY with commemorative logo
Twenty-five years is a major milestone in any person's life. It marks the quarter-century mark of your lifetime and, if you're a recent college graduate like me, it means you can't really identify as a "youth" anymore. The same can be said about ballparks, as the Orioles announced they will be celebrating the 25th anniversary season at Oriole Park at Camden Yards with a commemorative logo on game baseballs and jerseys during the 2017 season. The logo will be printed on all official...

Blue Jays fan praises Adam Jones for inspiring social change

Blue Jays fan praises Adam Jones for inspiring social change
Beyond the sting of the Orioles' loss at Rogers Centre, O's fans were angered at an on-field incident that put left fielder Hyun Soo Kim in danger while fielding a fly ball. A fan in attendance threw a full beer at the outfielder, which led to All-Star center fielder Adam Jones exchanging choice words in defense of his teammate. "First and foremost that's about as pathetic as it gets between the lines," Jones told reporters in Toronto. "You don't do that. I don't care how passionate you...

Ryan Romano: Looking ahead to three Orioles and free agency

Ryan Romano: Looking ahead to three Orioles and free agency
Where do the Orioles go from here? Hopefully, pretty far into the playoffs. After a wild card-clinching victory in game 162, the Orioles will face the Blue Jays tonight at 8 p.m. But that's not what I refer to when I pose that question. Rather, I want to focus on what comes after the playoffs: the free agent market. For the second consecutive offseason, multiple key contributors have the opportunity to leave Baltimore. Will the O's decide to bring them back? If so, how many of them and for...

OriolesREACH providing donations for every stream/download of "Don't Miss the Magic"

OriolesREACH providing donations for every stream/download of "Don't Miss the Magic"
Inspiration comes in many forms. It came in the form of Hyun Soo Kim's bat in the ninth inning last Wednesday in Toronto, which lifted the Orioles to a 3-2 comeback win over the Blue Jays. It came in the form of Kevin Gausman's right arm on Sunday, as the young pitcher brilliantly shut down the Yankees in a 5-2 win in the Bronx. And it came in the form of 162 action-packed games, full of home runs, strikeouts, saves and game-winning hits over the past six months, each a crucial piece in the...

Matthew Taylor: A prescient preseason prediction for the O's

Then again, would you have believed what you were reading if those preseason predictions had actually been accurate? Here's what a prescient write-up might have...
