Just another awful week of Orioles baseball as the Birds drop 2 of 3 to the Angels in heartbreaking fashion, and then 2 of 3 to the Nationals in uninspiring fashion. The team now sits 7 games under .500, yet still just 3

A 3-3 week for the Birds against teams with two of the worst records in baseball. The Royals gave them all they could handle, but the Orioles managed to eek out a series win. Then Boston, and a 6 HR, 20 hit performance b
As we said last week, what a difference a week makes. The Orioles looked awful all week, losing 5 of 7 games to Arizona and Cleveland. In fact, the only two wins required 4+ run comebacks in the 7th inning and beyond. Th
A week ago, the Orioles were licking their wounds following a sweep at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates, dropping them to 3-6 on the young season. But what a difference a week makes! Gunnar has gone nuts, the bullpen
