Yard Work podcast: Episode 4

Yard Work podcast: Episode 4
Happy Saturday, O's fans. Welcome to this week's episode of Yard Work. We've got lots to talk about as the Orioles continue to battle for the top spot in the American League East. The Birds returned home from a long road trip that saw the team take a small step back, despite winning two of the three series against the Angels and Indians, respectively. Putting a damper on those, of course, was a three-game sweep at the hands of the Astros, but as we've said on every episode of Yard Work,...

Matthew Taylor: Recalling the majesty of Sam Horn

Matthew Taylor: Recalling the majesty of Sam Horn
Fair or foul? Chris Davis' awe-inspiring blast down the right-field line versus the Red Sox on Wednesday night was deemed to be foul and upheld on review. Orioles manager Buck Showalter, who said the team had a camera angle showing the ball was fair, wasn't buying it. Neither was David Price, who tweeted that the ball was "definitely fair." You know you've hit it well when opposing players are discussing your efforts. Price's full tweet deemed Davis' moon shot "the most majestic ball...

Jim, Steve Gorman return to Camden Yards to raise awareness, funds for Multiple System Atrophy

Jim, Steve Gorman return to Camden Yards to raise awareness, funds for Multiple System Atrophy
For as long as Steve Gorman can remember, baseball has provided a connection to his older brother Jim. When Steve moved from Baltimore to Kentucky in 1975, he kept up with his beloved Orioles through day-old box scores in the local newspaper. When the Orioles would make an appearance on national television, the phone rang and Jim would tell Steve to watch for him on the broadcast. Jim, the first white player to play basketball at Morgan State, had a penchant for finding the camera and making...

Zach Wilt: Kim proving he belongs in O's lineup

Zach Wilt: Kim proving he belongs in O's lineup
Last night marked Hyun-Soo Kim's sixth consecutive start and 19th game played for the Baltimore Orioles. The Korean outfielder is slashing an impressive .382/.469/.509 on the season and he collected three hits, a walk and two runs scored in the O's wild 13-9 win over the Red Sox. Two weeks ago, I made my case for Kim and suggested that the O's play him regularly, at least for a bit, to see what they have with him. Now that we have a better idea, let's dive in and take a look. Wednesday...

Dillon Atkinson: Identity of 2016 Orioles should be revealed by All-Star break

Dillon Atkinson: Identity of 2016 Orioles should be revealed by All-Star break
After posting a 14-9 record in April to start the season, the Orioles followed up with a rocky month of May, going 14-13 during that span. Prior to the series in Houston last week, the O's were 12-7 in May, which means they went just 2-6 to cap off the month. If you're an O's fan, I'm sure you've been pretty frustrated over the past week or so. Both the pitching and offense seem so flat. In the past two weeks, the Orioles' pitching staff has a 4.50 ERA (5.08 FIP). A few weeks ago, my...

Ryan Romano: O'Day defying odds with success in crunch time

Ryan Romano: O'Day defying odds with success in crunch time
Darren O'Day has always defied expectations. He went from a walk-on at the University ofFlorida to the team's closer. After going undrafted out of college, he signed with the Angels,then shot through the minors and got a regular role with the Mets and Rangers. And whenTexas let him walk following an ugly 2011 campaign, he signed with the Orioles and took offonce more. O'Day's profile certainly fits the underdog mold; he's excelled despite anunderwhelming arsenal and a cringe-inducing...

Andrew Stetka: Orioles' lineup shuffle comes without true leadoff hitter

Andrew Stetka: Orioles' lineup shuffle comes without true leadoff hitter
It'd be really easy to get all fired up and stomp my foot at Ubaldo Jimenez to start this week. There are a ton of questions as to what the Orioles do with him going forward and how they deal with his struggles. Instead, I'm going to go a different route. I've been really interested in what Buck Showalter is doing with his lineup over the last few days. He's mixed things up and thrown guys around in a way that made me scratch my head once the lineup was posted. He's been handed a lineup...

Matthew Taylor: Which Oriole could pull off major hitting streak?

Matthew Taylor: Which Oriole could pull off major hitting streak?
Hitting streaks have been on the top of many minds in Major League Baseball lately. Jackie Bradley pieced together a 29-game hit streak that ended Thursday night. That left him five games short of the Red Sox team record, held by Dom Dimaggio, which he could have been tied when the Red Sox visit Camden Yards next week. Meanwhile, MLB started its celebration of the 75th anniversary of Joe DiMaggio's record 56-game hit streak on Sunday and is pushing out daily notifications about his hit(s) on...

Yard Work podcast: Episode 3
Hey, O's fans, and welcome to the latest edition of Yard Work. On this week's episode, Steve and I recap the Orioles' road trip, which has included a solid three-game series win against the Angels and a mystifying and frustrating three-game sweep at the hands of the Astros. During the series in Houston, there were strikeouts aplenty, though the majority came from the Baltimore dugout. Is there any reason to panic? We'll discuss. Also, we'll take a look back at the trade the Orioles made...

New Oriole Garden unveiled at Camden Yards (with video)

New Oriole Garden unveiled at Camden Yards (with video)
It's safe to say Camden Yards has seen its fair share of showers this season. Bring on the flowers. For those fans who adhere to the age-old adage, there is a bit of good news. Thanks in large part to the National Wildlife Foundation and the Orioles, the flowers are here, and they are beautiful. Earlier today, both parties presented the new Oriole Garden, planted by members of the National Wildlife Federation's Grow Together campaign. The initiative is a collaboration of Baltimore residents...

Zach Wilt: What is the Orioles' true identity in 2016?

Zach Wilt: What is the Orioles' true identity in 2016?
When the Orioles began the season 7-0, they set fans' expectations high for 2016 right out of the gate. Then a month later, they matched that seven-game winning streak with another as the team surged to a 23-12 record on May 14. A division title or playoff berth would be the only thing to satisfy Charm City this season. As with any team playing 162 games, the Birds have cooled. They've matched their season-high losing streak, three games, are 2-3 on their current road trip and have lost six...

Dillon Atkinson: A decision must be made regarding Kim

Dillon Atkinson: A decision must be made regarding Kim
When an outfielder on a ballclub has made eight starts in the team's 43 games, what role would you think he has? Would you think he was a right-handed hitting platoon outfielder who only started against left-handed pitchers? Would you think he was a fourth outfielder whose primary use was as a pinch-runner and defensive replacement late in games? I would assume one of the two, but neither is the case with the Orioles. In this situation, this is left-handed hitting left fielder Hyun Soo...

Ryan Romano: How unlucky is Ubaldo Jimenez?

Ryan Romano: How unlucky is Ubaldo Jimenez?
One of the trickier elements of baseball analysis is figuring out the role of luck - or the absence thereof - in a player's output. When we look at Ubaldo Jimenez, and see that he has a 6.04 ERA in 2016, we can safely say that he's not this awful of a pitcher, and that he'll allow fewer runs as the season goes along. But how much will he improve? Has he remained the same from 2015, or gotten worse? For Jimenez, the story always seems to revolve around walks. He limited them last year,...

Andrew Stetka: Orioles have a stadium to be proud of

Andrew Stetka: Orioles have a stadium to be proud of
I was baffled late last week when I read that the Texas Rangers are aiming to have a new ballpark built within the next five years. I visited what is now called Globe Life Park but was then called the Ballpark in Arlington just four short years ago. My visit came in August on a warm Texas night when Adrian Beltre clubbed three home runs against the Orioles in a 12-3 win. Later that year, the O's would get their revenge by winning the first installment of the wild card game in Arlington behind...

Matthew Taylor: How are O's tallying so many comeback wins?

Matthew Taylor: How are O's tallying so many comeback wins?
What should we make of the Orioles' growing number of comeback wins? Is it a function of the powerful lineup? The outstanding bullpen? Orioles Magic? The answer isn't as simple as any one thing; however, the most significant factor in the O's disproportionate number of comeback victories is what happens in the early innings. The team is making a habit of digging itself into early holes and then climbing out of them. The Orioles have three walk-offs so far in 2016. If you're like me,...

Gas up that mower and pull out those gardening gloves, O's fans. It's time for a little Yard Work!

Where do the Orioles sit after taking three of four from Detroit and losing the three-game series to Seattle? Also, we'll look back at reliever Darren O'Day's comments following Sunday's surprising loss to the Tigers in the series finale. O'Day was displeased with the...
