Yard Work podcast: Episode 6

Yard Work podcast: Episode 6
Hey, O's fans. Welcome to this week's episode of Yard Work. The Orioles returned from a seven-game road trip against the two teams on their heels in the American League East. And after dropping three of four against the Blue Jays and winning two of three against the Red Sox, the Orioles remained atop the division heading into the weekend, though both Boston and Toronto are still close behind. Steve Melewski and I recap the road trip and talk about what the Orioles need to do to stay in...

Fan challenge for Adam Jones returns with ballpark food-themed twist

Fan challenge for Adam Jones returns with ballpark food-themed twist
We hope you've stayed hungry because the Fan Challenge is back! We're already salivating at this year's challenge: Can you prepare a better ballpark-themed menu item than Adam Jones? Maybe you have a famous recipe for nachos that will make us weak in the knees, a sandwich that will have us licking every last drop of sauce off our fingers or a burger that makes all others taste like utter disappointment. Whatever it is, it's time to whip up your best dish and show us what you're made of!...

Matthew Taylor: Fulfilling a Father's Day promise through baseball

Matthew Taylor: Fulfilling a Father's Day promise through baseball
I promised my dad, as he laid on what could have been his death bed some 18 months ago, that we would do the Father's Day Catch on the Field if he survived his cardiac arrest. I wrote about it back then. This Sunday, I'll make good on that promise as my dad and I will join several other fathers and sons with stories of their own to have a catch at Camden Yards. Dad got a second chance at life. Now I have a chance to make it right with what would have been a missed opportunity. I've...

Zach Wilt: Can O's bullpen continue to mask starting pitching woes?

Zach Wilt: Can O's bullpen continue to mask starting pitching woes?
Last night, the Orioles offense rallied late with four runs split between the seventh and eighth innings, but ultimately weren't able to overcome a short outing from their starting pitcher. Stop me if you've heard that sentence before. Kevin Gausman, who despite his winless record, has been right behind Chris Tillman as the Birds' best starter, and entered the contest with a 3.45 ERA. Unfortunately, he scattered six runs over seven hits in just three innings of work against the Boston Red...

Jim Palmer's new book offers look back at one of baseball's greatest

Jim Palmer's new book offers look back at one of baseball's greatest
In a touch of irony, it's hard to put into words exactly what makes Jim Palmer's latest book so good. Palmer recently released his new book entitled "Jim Palmer: Nine Innings to Success." It's a story of the life and career of one of the greatest baseball players in history, as well as a series of life lessons, a guide for dealing with the pressures and negativity that affect all of us, and how to push through to achieve excellence and happiness. So with no real words to do it justice,...

Dillon Atkinson: Who will represent O's in All-Star Game?

Dillon Atkinson: Who will represent O's in All-Star Game?
Following a 3-2 win over the Red Sox on Tuesday night, the Orioles have sole possession of first place in the AL East, leading Boston by one game. The team should have multiple players representing the club in San Diego for the All-Star Game, but who will it be? Here are eight O's players who I think have a chance at taking the trip next month. I have ranked them from who I believe is most likely to go to who is least likely. First on my list is Manny Machado. He's currently leading American...

Ryan Romano: Shedding some daylight on O's struggles under the sun

Ryan Romano: Shedding some daylight on O's struggles under the sun
In the nearly 150-year history of organized baseball, night games are fairly new. The first professional contest under the stars occurred in 1930, and it took a while to catch on - Wrigley Field didn't install lights until nearly 60 years later. By now, though, most baseball fans have become accustomed to the different start times, especially in their typical, two-night/one-day arrangement. For the most part, all games are the same, regardless of their time, right? For the 2016 Orioles, no....

Andrew Stetka: O's can't afford to wait on decision regarding Jimenez's future

Andrew Stetka: O's can't afford to wait on decision regarding Jimenez's future
After his latest debacle in Toronto, Ubaldo Jimenez is right on the edge of falling off the cliff. The Orioles have few options when it comes to moving forward with Jimenez, but if they want to keep up their chances of competing in the American League East, it might be time to cut bait. Six out of his last seven starts could be slotted into the "miserable" category. In the one that wasn't, he lasted just five innings while allowing one run. The Orioles would obviously be required to eat...

Yard Work podcast: Episode 5

Yard Work podcast: Episode 5
It's a shame nothing memorable or exciting happened this past week with the Orioles. Ok, despite the poor attempt at humor, the last seven days have been some of the most action-packed this season. The Orioles completed a 10-game homestand with an impressive 7-3 record, made more impressive when you consider that mark includes the Birds dropping the first two games against the Red Sox. But, following a split with Boston, a series win against the Yankees, and a sweep of the Royals, the Orioles...

Matthew Taylor: Getting ready for a division race as an Orioles fan

Matthew Taylor: Getting ready for a division race as an Orioles fan
What kind of Orioles fan are you? Optimistic or pessimistic? Do you enjoy the ride throughout the season or constantly fret about the end result? Do you live game-by-game or operate with the big picture in mind? Your answers may vary by season, or even within the same season. My approach has varied greatly since the O's starting winning again, and the 2016 season is unlike any one before. Fourteen seasons of losing inevitably affected my outlook on the Orioles. It made me a pessimist who...

Zach Wilt: Did O's, Wieters make the right call in offseason?

Zach Wilt: Did O's, Wieters make the right call in offseason?
Back in November, Matt Wieters and the Baltimore Orioles made baseball history. The Birds catcher became one of the first players to accept a team's qualifying offer when he agreed to sign back with the O's on a one-year, $15.8 million deal. Prior to last offseason, all 34 players who were extended a qualifying offer turned it down in favor of hitting the open market. Sometimes it worked in their favor, sometimes it didn't. Looking at you, Nelson Cruz. Wieters, along with Brett Anderson and...

Home runs paying off with wins for O's and cash for fans!

Home runs paying off with wins for O's and cash for fans!
When the Orioles slugged seven home runs against the Red Sox on June 2, it not only led to a big win against their division rivals, but also provided big-time cash for the Maryland Lottery Contestant of the Game. Teressa Davies of Arbutus was selected as the Maryland Lottery Contestant of the Game, and watched on TV with high hopes and her family by her side. "We were yelling so loud that our daughter went upstairs and our poor dog seemed a little scared," the state employee told lottery...

Dillon Atkinson: Beanball isn't baseball

Dillon Atkinson: Beanball isn't baseball
In baseball, there are too many incidents that result in a pitcher intentionally throwing a 90-plus mph fastball into the back - and sometimes, even the head - of defenseless hitters. Another case of this happened in Tuesday night's Royals-Orioles game. In case you missed it, the Orioles beat up on Royals right-hander Yordano Ventura with the bats early in the game. Manny Machado stepped to the plate for the second time in the game in the second inning and immediately got brushed back with a...

Ryan Romano: String of bad luck has skewed Givens' numbers

Ryan Romano: String of bad luck has skewed Givens' numbers
The 2016 MLB season has passed the one-third mark, but that doesn't mean every small-sample fluke has disappeared. Some players still haven't played up to their true talent level, while others have performed far above where they should have. For the Orioles, a few position players -- Adam Jones for the former, Hyun Soo Kim for the latter -- fit each of these molds. The best example of an unfortunate player, though, lies on the other side of the ball. In his sophomore season, Mychal Givens has...

Andrew Stetka: O's pitchers falling victim to longball in recent weeks

Andrew Stetka: O's pitchers falling victim to longball in recent weeks
Just three weeks ago in this very space, I wrote about what a great job Orioles pitchers were doing in limiting home runs. It came right on the back of a second seven-game winning streak and strong performances by the likes of Chris Tillman and Kevin Gausman. Things have taken an unfortunate turn. After going through the first six weeks or so of the season and sitting second in baseball with the fewest home runs allowed, the O's have now fallen out of the top 10. They were hanging around...
