Caleb Joseph still has a few weeks to sidestep some infamous baseball history
For months now, we’ve monitored the situation, knowing it wasn’t good, but not sure exactly how bad it was. And figuring it would end at some point. With less than a month to go in the 2016 regular season, though, it’s time to look a little deeper into Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph’s...

Miley’s struggles accentuate O’s lack of rotation punch
After a first inning in which he allowed walks to the first two batters and ultimately gave up three runs, Orioles lefty Wade Miley settled down and permitted just one more run through the rest of his outing Sunday afternoon. Although in September in the AL East, when every game is crucial,...

An era of sorts ends Sunday afternoon at Camden Yards. No more chances for Orioles’ fans to boo Mark Teixeira, the former Severna Park kid and Mount St. Joe’s graduate who has had a splendid 14-season career in the majors, the last eight with the New York Yankees. The boos have subsided...

This is the time Gausman needs to step up — and he has
Buck Showalter is not singling out right-hander Kevin Gausman. The way the Orioles manager has to view it – certainly publicly – is that the entire club had to step up and perform better with right-hander Chris Tillman shelved with a shoulder injury.

Trying to make sense of recent — and odd — roster moves
One of the best indicators of what other teams think of an organization’s system is to see what happens when certain players are put on waivers. Teams may not want to trade for a player, but if it only costs a waiver claim and a prorated minimum salary, then maybe it’s worth a shot. The...

Two big steps forward as Bundy matures as a pitcher
If you’re intrigued by how Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy is maturing as a major league pitcher before our eyes, well, he took two more big steps Friday night. One, Bundy bounced right back against a team that had knocked him around in his last outing. And two, the 23-year-old didn’t relax at...

Watch out 1996 team, these homer-happy O’s are closing in
The jury is still out on whether these Orioles are going to make the playoffs, but one thing is fairly certain: These guys are going to challenge for the title of “most powerful team in club history.” Even Orioles manager Buck Showalter – who has seen it all in baseball – admits he...
