Andrew Stetka: Injuries likely to test Orioles early in season

Andrew Stetka: Injuries likely to test Orioles early in season
Despite a pair of losses over the weekend, the Orioles were able to split a four-game series with one of the hottest teams in baseball. They played a strange back-and-forth affair with the White Sox on Saturday against the red-hot Mat Latos and were mostly shut down by perennial Cy Young candidate Chris Sale on Sunday. While the weekend may have looked bad from a win-loss standpoint, it looks even worse from an injury standpoint. Zach Britton and J.J. Hardy were both hurt, and while we don't...

Matthew Taylor: Where does Manny Machado currently rank among O's greats?

Matthew Taylor: Where does Manny Machado currently rank among O's greats?
Manny Machado's grand slam versus the Chicago White Sox on Thursday night was the latest in a strong start that has more people taking notice of the Orioles' young superstar. You could rightfully argue that the two-time All-Star and Gold Glove winner who finished fourth in MVP voting last season deserved more attention before now. Regardless, Machado's quickness out of the gate in 2016 is deservedly garnering him national recognition. Just last week two writers - one from ESPN and the other...

Zach Wilt: Chris Tillman's turnaround hints of bounceback season

Zach Wilt: Chris Tillman's turnaround hints of bounceback season
The Orioles snapped their three-game losing streak last night with a 3-1 victory at The Trop against the Rays on an Earl Weaver special. Rookie Joey Rickard delivered the much-needed three-run homer in the fifth, while Chris Tillman's impressive start kept the Rays bats cold. The O's righty tied a career high with nine strikeouts on the night that he would move past Jeremy Guthrie on the team's all-time starts list (154). Next up is Mike Boddicker (180), but Tillman will have a tough...

Dillon Atkinson: Is Joey Rickard being overused?

Dillon Atkinson: Is Joey Rickard being overused?
After breaking camp with the Orioles following an impressive spring training, outfielder Joey Rickard quickly won the hearts of O's fans. He opened up the season with a seven-game hitting streak in which he slashed .370/.367/.556 with a 152 wRC+. From the beginning of the season through April 21 against the Blue Jays, he slashed .350/.359/.483 with a 135 wRC+. As of lately, he hasn't been as fortunate, gathering two hits - one being an infield single - over his last 20 at-bats. On the season,...

Ryan Romano: The Dylan Bundy dilemma

Ryan Romano: The Dylan Bundy dilemma
Because the 2016 Orioles rotation isn't the most dominant, it'll need an elite bullpen to back it up, and for the most part, the team's relievers have been up to the task. The four-headed monster of Zach Britton, Darren O'Day, Brad Brach and Mychal Givens has taken the league by storm. They've all blown the ball past opposing hitters, and except for Givens, each of them has an ERA under 2.00. This bullpen has a glaring weakness, though: top prospect Dylan Bundy. In limited action this...

Andrew Stetka: Orioles appear proven right again on injury

Andrew Stetka: Orioles appear proven right again on injury
Despite all the naysayers and doubters, it would appear the Orioles were right again. Just over two months ago, many were blasting the O's for attempting to restructure a contract with right-hander Yovani Gallardo. Now, with the 30-year-old on the disabled list with a shoulder injury, it would appear they had something to squawk about. Clearly, I'm not a doctor, and even if I was, I didn't see the results of Gallardo's physical back in February or examine his shoulder after his short start...

Matthew Taylor: Jake Arrieta isn't the only former Oriole to throw no-hitter

Matthew Taylor: Jake Arrieta isn't the only former Oriole to throw no-hitter
Call it something old, something new, with both players wearing Cubbie blue. Milt Pappas died this week. He pitched for the Orioles before being trading away to the Cincinnati Reds in the Frank Robinson deal and ultimately tossed a no-hitter for the Chicago Cubs. Last night, Jake Arrieta, whom the Orioles traded away, tossed a no-hitter for the Cubs. The opponent? The Cincinnati Reds. That, my friends, is baseball. I can't imagine many O's fans actually resent Arrieta for throwing his second...

Zach Wilt: Looking at Brad Brach's improvements from last year

Zach Wilt: Looking at Brad Brach's improvements from last year
Brad Brach appeared in his eighth game of the season last night in the Orioles' walk-off victory against the Blue Jays and for the first time in his nine innings pitched, the O's reliever allowed an earned run. His ERA skyrocketed from 0.00 to 1.00 ERA in 2016. Seriously though, Brach looked solid again out of the 'pen, this time coming in to relieve Ubaldo Jimenez. He issued just one walk and even the RBI double off the bat of Edwin Encarnacion came on a well-placed, low 86 mph splitter. In...

Dillon Atkinson: Orioles' signing of Jimenez now well worth it

Dillon Atkinson: Orioles' signing of Jimenez now well worth it
Heading into the 2014 season, after inking a new four-year, $50 million deal with the Orioles, Ubaldo Jimenez was expected to be near the top of the club's rotation, just behind right-hander Chris Tillman. This wasn't the case, however, as Jimenez was arguably the worst pitcher on staff, recording a 4.73 ERA, a 4.79 fielding independent pitching (FIP) and an abysmal 5.48 walks per nine innings over 22 starts, averaging just over 5.1 innings pitched per outing. The Orioles placed Jimenez on...

Ryan Romano: Machado and selling out for power

Ryan Romano: Machado and selling out for power
Through the first two-odd weeks of the 2016 season, no team has hit better than the Baltimore Orioles. Manny Machado has spearheaded the onslaught, slugging a .383/.431/.723 slash line over 51 plate appearances. If Machado maintains this production, it'll mark the second straight year of improvement with the bat. This time, however, he's done things quite differently, and it's worth wondering if he should take another path. We'll first look at Machado's 2015 breakout, which happened...

Andrew Stetka: Masking an obvious weakness

Andrew Stetka: Masking an obvious weakness
The season is only two weeks old, but I've written a lot already in 2016 about the need for the Orioles to mask their weaknesses. There's no real secret what people are talking about when it comes to the O's and weakness - it's their starting pitching. These Birds, like the ones in recent past, are very good offensively. They can play defense with anyone. There are no real qualms about the bullpen. The starting pitching is an entirely different story. When it comes to Saturday night's game...

Matthew Taylor: Orioles fans should be enjoying the moment

Matthew Taylor: Orioles fans should be enjoying the moment
I attempted to convince myself that daytime baseball wouldn't be a distraction from my work. Listening to the radio broadcast on Monday as the Orioles stared down the Red Sox in the Fenway Park opener was simply background noise, I reasoned. It made sense initially. However, by the ninth inning, with both the game and my stomach knotted up, I conceded the point in the hopes of witnessing a victory for myself. I turned on the TV broadcast to watch the game's final inning unfold. Crouched low...

Zach Wilt: So far, Chis Davis seems to be handling the pressure
Chris Davis hadn't even dotted the i's on his seven-year, $161 million contract this winter before the deal was criticized by the baseball world. The Orioles appeared in many columnists' "worst deals of the offseason" articles and were scrutinized for overspending on a guy that would surely never repeat the production of his 2013 and 2015 seasons. Comparisons were made to Ryan Howard and Josh Hamilton, two power hitters who cashed in on their successes only to disappoint in their older,...
