The Baltimore Orioles Are The Biggest Surprise Of The Season
The biggest surprise this season is the success of the Baltimore Orioles. Expected by virtually everyone but the most hardcore of fans to occupy the cellar of the AL East, the Baltimore Orioles are currently tied for the best record in baseball at 19-11. For a team that hasn’t won 70 games since 2006, this [...]
Baltimore Orioles Crush The Oakland Athletics 10-1
With a 10-1 victory against the Oakland Athletics, the Baltimore Orioles are tied for first once again with the Tampa Bay Rays. It’s been a fantastic start to the season for the Orioles, as their record of 13-8 shows they’ve been one of the best teams in the American League. Let’s take a look at [...]
Dontrelle Willis Files Grievance Against Baltimore Orioles
A few weeks ago I reported that the Baltimore Orioles signed Dontrelle Willis to a minor league deal. While he wasn’t expected to be a starter, he could have been a useful arm to have in the bullpen. He’s been nearly unhittable against left handed batters, and even the Orioles could use a guy like that to [...]
The Continuing Struggles Of Baltimore Orioles Starter Brian Matusz
After a fantastic Spring Training, there was hope that Brian Matusz would take the next step forward this season. His 2011 season was one of the worst in the history of the majors, as he threw just under 50 innings with a 10.69 ERA. That’s not a typo, Matusz allowed more than 1 run an [...]
Your American League East Division Leading Baltimore Orioles
In the immortal words of Keanu Reeves, “Whoa”. Thanks to an impressive sweep of the Minnesota Twins, the Baltimore Orioles are in a tie for first place with the Tampa Bay Rays.

According to a tweet by Danny Knobler, the Orioles are looking to move reliever Kevin Gregg and infielder Mark Reynolds. Gregg has been overvalued throughout his career because he’s got the all [...]
Dontrelle Willis Signs A Minor League Deal With The Baltimore Orioles
The Baltimore Orioles have added pitcher Dontrelle Willis on a minor league deal according to Jerry Crasnick. Some would argue that this is a typical move of the Orioles, signing a past his prime pitcher to help with the rotation or the bullpen. Even Craig Calcaterra of Hardball Talk is confused, asking why the Orioles would sign a [...]
Brian Matusz Looks Dominant In Spring Training
To say that Brian Matusz struggled last season would be an understatement. For pitchers with at least 45 innings Matusz holds the record for worst ERA ever at 10.69. His velocity dropped down to 88 MPH, which is 2-3 ticks lower then it was in the past. Quite frankly Matusz looked lost, and was another [...]
The Curious Case Of Baltimore Orioles “Prospect” Seong-Min Kim
It’s hard to believe now, but the Baltimore Orioles were once a model organization. The Orioles were a winning team, and one of the bright spots in the American League. With stars like Cal Ripken and Brooks Robinson, there was always an elite player to lead by example. It’s hard to remember back to a [...]

The Baltimore Orioles signed RHP Josh Banks Tuesday to a minor league deal. Banks pitched 17 innings for the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball in 2011.
