Matt Kremnitzer: Despite O's crumbling season, Adam Jones still raking

Matt Kremnitzer: Despite O's crumbling season, Adam Jones still raking
When it comes to the Orioles, there's a lot to be negative about right now. They just lost yet again and they've dropped 12 of their last 14 games. They ended August with only 11 wins in 29 games. Hisashi Iwakuma fired a no-hitter against them in Seattle. The Twins took all four games in a crucial series at Camden Yards. They were also swept out of Texas to complete a dismal road trip. Considering what they've done since the day Buck Showalter arrived on the scene, this horrendous stretch of...

Andrew Stetka: As O's slide, future starts now

Andrew Stetka: As O's slide, future starts now
As the Orioles continue to slide further and further away from the playoff picture, the start of the season's final full month will bring an opportunity to see what the future holds. The O's aren't out of it, but it's looking more and more like they'll be sitting home for the postseason. The question then becomes who are the players that will help the O's get back to October in 2016? As rosters expand, some of those players will join the team and look to make their mark. Some of those...

Matthew Taylor: Tallying reasons to watch O's despite recent struggles

Matthew Taylor: Tallying reasons to watch O's despite recent struggles
Let's face it, being an Orioles fan has been a depressing proposition of late. Not quite 14 consecutive losing seasons depressing, mind you, but depressing all the same. If the 2014 season was exhilarating - and it was - the 2015 season has been exhausting. Judging from the recent Orioles commentary on Twitter, fan reactions to the team's struggles have included equal parts hostility and humor. OK, there's actually nothing equal about it. Ours is a hostile fan base right now. Given the...

Domenic Vadala: Orioles can learn from the way Royals carry themselves

Domenic Vadala: Orioles can learn from the way Royals carry themselves
Gary Thorne and Mike Bordick brought up a great point in regards to the Kansas City Royals on Monday night. They mentioned that the team was playing with a lot of confidence, and there can be no doubt about that. You can see it written all over their faces, with the manner by which they carry themselves and, heck, even how their fans react. So could the Orioles learn a lesson from that? The answer is yes - but to a point. The Birds are an uber-professional team in a sense. Think about it: When...

Andrew Stetka: Ripken's return to a dugout could be awkward for O's fans

Andrew Stetka: Ripken's return to a dugout could be awkward for O's fans
As Orioles fans prepare to celebrate 20 years since Cal Ripken Jr. broke Lou Gehrig's consecutive games streak, there's word that he could be nearing a return to Major League Baseball. It shocked me, too, when I realized it's been 20 years since No. 8 took that faithful lap around Camden Yards to thank the fans. What might shock me even more is if he ends up in a uniform other than one that reads "Orioles" across the front. Last week in an interview on ESPN 980 in Washington, D.C., the...

Zach Wilt: How quickly things change

Zach Wilt: How quickly things change
Since we last spoke, the Orioles have won five of their last six games and grabbed the second wild card spot in the American League. A week ago, I searched far and wide for good news to share about my favorite ballclub after they were no-hit by Hisashi Iwakuma in the finale of what ended up being a 4-5 West Coast road trip against the A's, Angels and Mariners. Today, I'm struggling to figure out how to cram all these positive nuggets into 600 words. How quickly things can change in...

Photobombing before photobombing was even a thing

Photobombing before photobombing was even a thing
The Orioles took their 2015 team photo the other day, positioning the members of this year's club in gleaming home whites on chairs and risers in front of the right field scoreboard before Monday's finale of a four-game series against the A's. I can't see a team photo - the year and team really don't matter - without thinking about the first time I was credentialed to cover an Orioles game. It happened back in 1980. No, the bitterness over losing the 1979 World Series still hadn't...

Domenic Vadala: Late-season deal could tip AL East in favor of Orioles

Domenic Vadala: Late-season deal could tip AL East in favor of Orioles
As we've all heard countless times, Major League Baseball's trade season doesn't end in July. The non-waiver trade deadline is, of course, at the end of July. However, trades can still be made until the waiver trade deadline at the end of August (which means that players can be traded so long as they pass through waivers). So with the Orioles now playing better (or so it seems) in the wake of the West Coast trip, I would submit that the waiver trade deadline is of supreme importance for this...

Five-year-old Hailey Dawson throws out first pitch with Orioles-themed robotic hand

Five-year-old Hailey Dawson throws out first pitch with Orioles-themed robotic hand
The stage was set for five-year-old Hailey Dawson. She set in the infield grass at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, her brother Zach Dawson by her side. Her favorite player Manny Machado stood by home plate, glove in hand, ready to catch Hailey's ceremonial first pitch. Hailey was born with Poland syndrome, a disease in which affected individuals are born with missing or abnormal muscles on one side of the chest wall, and many affected are born with abnormalities of the hand, which may involve...

Matt Kremnitzer: Schoop is giving O's a bat they sorely need

Matt Kremnitzer: Schoop is giving O's a bat they sorely need
It's easy to get carried away when talking about the promise of a young major leaguer. If a player is performing well, even for an extended stretch, it's hard not to ponder his future. Really, that's part of being a fan - wondering what is and what could be. But there's a game tomorrow, and the day after, and probably the day after that; things change in a hurry. Such is the case for Jonathan Schoop. Only 23, Schoop is certainly no Manny Machado. That's not a dig at all, as Machado is one...

Andrew Stetka: Chris Davis' hot streak means big bucks this winter

Andrew Stetka: Chris Davis' hot streak means big bucks this winter
Orioles fans have been bracing for the moment when Chris Davis possibly walks out of town, but if his recent play is any indication, the slugging first baseman will be surfing on a wave of cash if he departs Baltimore instead. The 29-year-old pending free agent has put up monster numbers this season, more than bouncing back from what many saw as a disappointing 2014 campaign. Davis has clubbed 15 of his 34 homers this season since July 22 and has his OPS hovering near the .900 mark. He likely...

Special guest Hailey Dawson to throw out first pitch using Orioles-themed robotic hand
Before they root for the Orioles to complete a four-game sweep of the Athletics, fans attending at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on Aug. 17 are in for a very "special" treat when they watch guest Hailey Dawson throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Hailey, a young girl from Las Vegas, was born with a rare disease called Poland Syndrome, which affects one to three newborns per 100,000. It is a disorder in which affected individuals are born with missing or abnormal muscles on one side of the...

#BrianaInBirdland: Singer Briana Tyson performs at Camden Yards
Straight from Nashville, Tenn., singer/songwriter Briana Tyson graced Camden Yards with an on-field pregame performance before the Orioles took on the A's. After the O's wrapped up an 18-2 blowout victory, we suppose you can call her a good luck charm! In her first visit to Baltimore, Tyson chatted with MASNsports.com's Julia Morris about her new album, her Birdland performance, her love of baseball and much more before taking the field to perform original music during her pregame set. She...
