Oriole Advocates set annual Cardboard to Leather collection for Sunday, Sept. 4
If you're a little late on your spring cleaning, or if you're ready to thin out the baseball and softball equipment you've accumulated now that the youth seasons have ended, the Oriole Advocates have a great way for you to help those less fortunate enjoy a game we often take for granted. The Advocates have scheduled their annual Cardboard to Leather collection for Sunday, Sept. 4 before the Orioles entertain the New York Yankees. Legg Mason sponsors this worthy event, one of the important...

Matthew Taylor: An interesting conversation with my 2011 self

Matthew Taylor: An interesting conversation with my 2011 self
Have you ever heard someone talk about the advice they would share with a younger version of themself if they had the chance? Here's what a conversation with the 2011 version of myself might look like if we got to talking Orioles baseball. 2011 Me: I don't know how much more of this I can take. Fourteen consecutive losing seasons! I thought this was the year, and we still lost 93 games with Buck Showalter in charge. We're hopeless. 2016 Me: I think you'll be happy with where things go from...

Zach Wilt: What Ubaldo Jimenez needs to do to be effective

Zach Wilt: What Ubaldo Jimenez needs to do to be effective
For the first time since July 28, Ubaldo Jimenez will make a start for the Baltimore Orioles. With Chris Tillman on the disabled list, Jimenez will take the mound tonight in D.C. as the Birds look to take all four games of their interleague series against the Nationals. It's been a tough season for Jimenez, he's 5-10 with a 6.94 ERA. In his three seasons with the Orioles, he's pitched to a 4.99 ERA and surrendered 4.5 walks per nine innings. Jimenez signed a four-year deal with the Birds...

Dillon Atkinson: Five X-factors for the Orioles down the stretch

Dillon Atkinson: Five X-factors for the Orioles down the stretch
After defeating the Nationals 8-1 on Tuesday night, the Orioles are still in third place in the American League East, just two games back of the Red Sox and Blue Jays, who are tied for the division lead. The Birds are 22-25 since the start of July, so they're going to have to turn it around sooner rather than later. Here are five X-factors that could very well be big influences on whether or not the O's turn it around and make the postseason. Manny Machado: Since the start of July, Machado is...

Yard Work podcast: Episode 12

Yard Work podcast: Episode 12
Hey, O's fans. Welcome to the latest edition of Yard Work. We're changing things up a bit this week. With the Orioles and Nationals resuming their annual Battle of the Beltways, we thought we'd combine our two squads - myself from Yard Work and MASNsports.com's Bobby Blanco and Byron Kerr from District 34 - for a joint podcast session. The Orioles and Nationals have squared off each season, though the rivalry has been a little one-sided. The O's have taken the season series each year since...

Ryan Romano: What's to blame for Trumbo's strange slump?

Ryan Romano: What's to blame for Trumbo's strange slump?
As the Orioles go, so goes Mark Trumbo. In the first half of the season, the newest O's slugger put up some of the best offensive numbers in baseball. His .288/.341/.582 triple-slash translated to a 142 wRC+, ranking him 17th among qualified hitters. The club rode that scorching start, and the other hot hitters who backed it up, to a 51-36 first-half record. Since then, their performance has fallen off -- they've gone 16-20 in the second half of the season -- and Trumbo has played a big...

Andrew Stetka: Orioles should look to deal strength for depth

Andrew Stetka: Orioles should look to deal strength for depth
There's a good debate going on throughout the baseball world right now about Orioles closer Zach Britton. Some believe he should get consideration for the Cy Young Award at season's end. Others don't think that honor should go to relief pitchers who don't accumulate as many innings as starters during the season. The argument is really about value. There's no real question that Britton, who has given up a staggering three earned runs all season, carries a lot of value. That value is seen by...

Yard Work: Episode 11

Yard Work: Episode 11
Happy Friday, Orioles fans. Welcome to this week's edition of Yard Work. On this episode.... It seems like the Orioles have done a total flip flop since the start of the season. For the first few months, the O's dealt with inconsistent starting pitching. Each night was a gamble in terms of the starter and there were a few nights were a great offensive output wasn't enough to mask struggles on the mound. Over the past few months, however, the starting pitching has settled in, with starters...

Matthew Taylor: Hyun Soo Kim deserving of Hitting Machine nickname

Matthew Taylor: Hyun Soo Kim deserving of Hitting Machine nickname
Hyun Soo Kim stepped to the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning on Thursday night with a chance to do something that no Orioles batter has done since ... Sunday. OK, so Matt Wieters' five-hit game at San Francisco, only the third ever by an Orioles catcher, made the possibility of a five-hit game for Kim seem less important. Regardless, it would have been a unique and fitting accomplishment for the rookie nicknamed Hitting Machine. Only one O's rookie has totaled a five-hit game in his...

Jenae Cherry to debut Orioles-inspired song before Friday night fireworks

Jenae Cherry to debut Orioles-inspired song before Friday night fireworks
If you were at the July 22 game between the Indians and Orioles, you were lucky enough to hear a pregame concert by singer/songwriter Jenae Cherry, a Nashville-based country music staple who has a strong connection to the Orioles: She's married to reliever Brad Brach. If you're coming to Friday night's game between the Astros and Orioles, you'll have another opportunity to hear Cherry, who will debut a new Orioles-inspired song, "Don't Miss the Magic," as part of her set during a live...

Zach Wilt: Schoop drawing comparisons to game's top second basemen

Zach Wilt: Schoop drawing comparisons to game's top second basemen
Power hitting second basemen are the quite the commodity in Major League Baseball. Most teams hope to get solid defense and above average offense from that position; adding some pop is a huge bonus. Jonathan Schoop is one of the few who provides both, a great glove in the middle of the diamond and 20-plus home run power. In his third full season in the big leagues at age 24, Schoop has homered 18 times for the Orioles and is on pace to finish the season with 25. The Birds second baseman is...

Dillon Atkinson: Righties struggling against opposing southpaws

Dillon Atkinson: Righties struggling against opposing southpaws
Before putting up three runs against Boston's bullpen in Tuesday night's 5-3 loss to the Red Sox, the Orioles were being no-hit through four innings by left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. The young southpaw, who struck out seven batters over his four no-hit frames, was removed from the game in the fifth inning with a left hamstring injury. Tuesday night was another case of the O's not doing too well against lefties. Yes, the Orioles own a 17-16 record this year when the opposing starting pitcher...

Ryan Romano: What are the biggest hits for Orioles stars?

Ryan Romano: What are the biggest hits for Orioles stars?
The Orioles weren't supposed to win on Sunday. Through the first eight innings, the story of the game was Wade Miley's meltdown and Johnny Cueto's effectiveness. Then Jonathan Schoop happened. With two on and two outs in the ninth, he swatted a three-run homer to turn a 7-5 deficit into an 8-7 lead. According to FanGraphs.com, the dinger improved the Orioles' win probability from 6.5 percent to 84.2 percent, making it the biggest hit of Schoop's young career by far. To commemorate the...

Orioles' homers lead to fan riches thanks to the Maryland Lottery, but hurry - time is running out!
What a year to play Home Run Riches from the Maryland Lottery! The Orioles continue to lead all of Major League Baseball with 176 home runs, which means the Maryland Lottery has awarded $146,500 to Contestants of the Game through Sunday, August 14.

Andrew Stetka: Concern over Gausman leaves O's with another rotation worry

Andrew Stetka: Concern over Gausman leaves O's with another rotation worry
Starting pitching has been a concern for most of the season for the Orioles, but has appeared to turn a bit of a corner over the last month or so. Much of that is credited to the emergence of Dylan Bundy in the rotation. He's been nothing short of great. Sending Bundy or Chris Tillman to the mound gives Orioles fans confidence, but a third member of that rotation isn't holding his own. Kevin Gausman has all the talent in the world, but his recent stretch has to be concerning for the Orioles....
