#TBT: Chris Davis' second homer of game leads to walk-off win

#TBT: Chris Davis' second homer of game leads to walk-off win
The Silver Slugger Award winners will be announced tonight, so there's no better time to throw back to a player who has a great chance of taking home some hardware: Chris Davis. A Silver Slugger winner in 2013, Crush returned to form in 2015 and finished the season with a major league-leading 47 homers. Two of them came on the night of Aug. 15 against the A's. With the O's trailing Oakland 3-0 in the fourth, Davis stepped up to the plate and smacked a two-run homer. The Orioles added another...

#TBT: Steady Machado shows off arm vs. Blue Jays

#TBT: Steady Machado shows off arm vs. Blue Jays
What do you mean there's no more baseball? Another exciting season has come and gone, and while we look ahead to what will likely be a busy offseason for the Orioles, we'll also look back at some of the amazing plays and moments from 2015. Every offseason, we post one of our favorite clips of the previous season each Thursday in our #TBT series. And who better to kick off this year's series than Manny Machado? The third baseman, who turned 23 this season, was the only player in the major...

Matthew Taylor: Comparing this year's Orioles with franchise greats

Matthew Taylor: Comparing this year's Orioles with franchise greats
The 2015 season has been a disappointing one for the Orioles. However, multiple players have posted impressive totals that rank with some of the greatest individual efforts in franchise history. Here's a look at those efforts and the O's greats they bring to mind. Young and mighty: Manny Machado and Boog Powell Manny Machado has had a stellar season at the plate. On Thursday, he became the Orioles' first 20-20 player since Brady Anderson in 1999 and the O's fifth 20-20 player overall. Paul...

Zach Wilt: Motivation for the offseason

Zach Wilt: Motivation for the offseason
Champagne was popped last night at Camden Yards as the stadium hosted an American League East champion celebration for the second consecutive season. This year, however, it was a bit different from 2014's festivities. It was the visiting clubhouse that was covered in plastic and the modest home crowd contained just a few thousand unenthused fans as the Toronto Blue Jays won their first division title in 22 years. In 2014, the scene was just the opposite. Fireworks blasted into the September...

Domenic Vadala: Heading into the offseason

Domenic Vadala: Heading into the offseason
Every year at the end of the season (postseason or not), I feel as if a blindfold has been removed from my head. Make no mistake about the fact that baseball season is and always will be No. 1 in my heart. However, from the time when hope springs eternal in March until the end, that's really all I'm able to see and hear. I tend to forget that there's an outside world that's not Orioles-centric. The season never really ends for me in a sense, as we publish fresh content daily at Birds...

Matt Kremnitzer: O's need to put right pieces around Machado

Matt Kremnitzer: O's need to put right pieces around Machado
Going into next year and beyond, there's a lot to be worried about when it comes to the Orioles. There are plenty of question marks: Which players will return? Who will leave for other teams? Will the farm system improve? Will the Orioles rectify their player development issues? How long do Dan Duquette and/or Buck Showalter stick around? At the same time, though, the Orioles also have the luxury of a young superstar to build around: Manny Machado. Somehow still only 23, Machado is approaching...

Andrew Stetka: For Orioles, goals have changed in season's final week

Andrew Stetka: For Orioles, goals have changed in season's final week
The Orioles face a daunting task as they enter their final week of 2015. No longer in the running to repeat as American League East champions, and barely hanging on as wild card contenders, the O's are now simply trying to stack as many wins as possible heading into the offseason. A few weeks back, I looked at the team's struggles in the same negative light that many did. Even through that, I was able to search for and find positives. Now, as the team approaches the 81-loss mark, there's...

Matthew Taylor: A surprising outcome from O's sweep of Nationals

Matthew Taylor: A surprising outcome from O's sweep of Nationals
What could be more surprising from this week's series with the Washington Nationals than the Orioles getting the sweep in D.C.? For me, it's the fact that I came away with a greater appreciation and respect for Bryce Harper. The heated three-game set left me thinking less about rivalry and more about respect, starting first and foremost with the Nationals' young superstar. Go figure. If you're not a Nationals fan, it's easy to dislike Harper. He's a classic case of the guy you would love...

Zach Wilt: Jonathan Papelbon's history with the Orioles

Zach Wilt: Jonathan Papelbon's history with the Orioles
Jonathan Papelbon desperately wanted out of Philadelphia for a chance to pitch in October again. The veteran reliever spent seven seasons in Boston with the Red Sox and put together an impressive resume that included pitching in four postseasons and recording the final out of the 2007 World Series. How can anyone forget that riverdance celebration? Things went south in 2011 when the Sox entered the season as the favorites to win the American League after the acquisitions of Adrian Gonzalez and...

Domenic Valada: "Battle of the Beltways" an extra-special series

Domenic Valada: "Battle of the Beltways" an extra-special series
With the O's in DC this week, we find ourselves watching National League games for the first time in a while. Some people like interleague play, and some don't - either view point is fine with me. But I'm a fan of it. People might ask how I can call myself a purist and like interleague play. The answer is because, as I said, I'm a purist - the pitcher is part of the team, so why shouldn't he have to swing a bat? But speaking for myself, the "Battle of the Beltways" is extra special....

Matt Kremnitzer: O's philosophies may have to change

Matt Kremnitzer: O's philosophies may have to change
As Andrew Stetka discussed yesterday, you know the Orioles are not going to re-sign all of their impending free agents. There's a very real possibility that they decide to let all of them walk. The choice to not re-sign Nelson Cruz, and to a lesser extent Nick Markakis and Andrew Miller, hurt the 2015 team somewhat, but a lot of that collapse has come from other key parts of the Orioles taking significant steps back. That departing group did not have much to do with the starting rotation...

Andrew Stetka: Adam Jones' heart is in the right place

Andrew Stetka: Adam Jones' heart is in the right place
When I read last week that Adam Jones wanted to meet with Peter Angelos, Dan Duquette and Buck Showalter during the offseason to discuss the team's plans for re-signing players and making trades, I honestly thought it was an old link. It was the same story last offseason when Jones wanted to discuss the team's mindset following an American League East crown. Now that the dream of a repeat has gone out the window, have any of the plans changed? Jones doesn't want to see a mass exodus like the...
