Cal Ripken Jr. Delivers Commencement Address at University of Maryland
Cal Ripken Jr. had the distinct honor of giving the 2013 commencement address at the University of Maryland this past week. We now have video of the speech, and not surprisingly it is as motivational as you would expect from one of the all-time MLB greats. Ripken was bestowed an honorary doctorate for his efforts.
Below is the entire transcript for the commencement address given...
Speaking on behalf of the Yankiverse, we face Freddy Garcia tonight in Baltimore, and you better believe there will be some whining if we lose
I thought this was a misprint, or an Oxycontin flashback from 2011. Freddy Garcia is pitching against us tonight. Yes, that Freddy Garcia. The Chief. He's still alive. He's still pitching.Listen, I have nothing but respect for The Chief. He pitched well for us - in fact, one of his best outings came in a must game against Baltimore. But two years ago, he was on his last legs...
Showalter may think twice arguing call
A bit of posturing on the part of Orioles manager Buck Showalter cost his team two bases and a run Sunday, after Showalter argued that a double by Matt Joyce should have been called foul -- and it was instead ruled a home run after review.
The play happened with one out in the top of the sixth inning, with the Rays leading 2-1. Joyce, a left-handed batter, hooked a line drive down...

Kevin Gausman, MLB Ready?
Rick Peterson looked on from the Bowie Baysox’s dugout as Kevin Gausman stated his case. The Orioles’ prized right hander decimated the Trenton Thunder over six innings, strike outing ten and allowing few well hit balls. With Baltimore four games behind the American League East division leaders and their rotation in shambles, expect Gausman to earn a promotion after the super...
Manny Machado is worthy of the hype
For anyone who hasn’t yet discovered that there is a 20 year old in Baltimore playing the hot corner like a young A-Rod, while drawing comparisons to the big league’s resident young phenoms Mike Trout and Bryce Harper, let this be your official notice. Orioles’ Manny Machado has not only performed as though he were a perennial All-Star on almost a daily basis
Orioles Prospect Gausman Lives Up To Hype, Stifles Trenton
Exactly one year ago to the day, Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect and Bowie Baysox ace, Kevin Gausman was gearing up for the SEC tournament as the anchor of the rotation for an LSU baseball program that has established expectations of excellence; where anything less than booking a trip to Omaha for the College World Series is deemed a failure. Gausman went out last May 18 against...

Matt Wieters Is Good At Baseball
The other day on the radio, I heard some argument as to whether or not the Orioles should sign Matt Wieters to a $10 M a year contract. The part that got me was that even the people in favor seemed to assume that Wieters would take such a deal. When I expressed that idea, I received a fair bit of push-back - it seems like people don't think that Wieters is actually that good...
Orioles rumors: Baltimore seeking top starting pitcher
The Baltimore Orioles’ winning ways have carried over from
last season, as the team is currently in the mix for the top spot in the
American League East. While this continued success can be attributed to the
team’s offense and bullpen, the O’s are winning in spite of their starting rotation. As a result, Jon Heyman of CBS
Sports believes that Baltimore will be seeking a...
The Baltimore Orioles’ Rotation… Now What?
Wei-Yin Chen is expected to go on the DL with a strained oblique, leaving the Orioles with just two members of their original rotation.
With an already average starting rotation at the beginning of the year, the Baltimore Orioles could hardly afford to lose many arms, particularly this early in the season. But with Wei-Yin Chen expected to go on the disabled list Tuesday with...

Adam Jones' line-drive HR lands in upper deck
Adam Jones of the Baltimore Orioles smashed a line drive home run during the O’s 6-0 win over the Twins on Sunday, but upon further review it wasn’t that normal. The home run barely cleared the outfield fence yet somehow it ended up hitting a railing right at the wall and landed in the upper deck. Not sure how one would measure that one, but it made for good TV. [MLB] Article...
