I’ve been at the O’s games recently, which is the reason I haven’t been posting much. As most of you know, you have to go to the bars after the game. Anyway, it was a great experience to see Wieters first game. It started raining about an hour before game time, but thankfully it was [...]

So in Matt Wieters’ debut, this game could be rained out. Right now, I’m about 20 minutes outside of the city, and the rain is steady. There have been no updates thus far on the team site or on MLB.com. Roch Kubatko usually has weather updates, as he’s at the yard incredibly early. So far, [...]

With Eaton’s release made official, the Orioles called up Matt Albers from Triple-A. This creates an open spot in the rotation, like Michael wrote about earlier. The question though, is who will fill it. It seems like the coaching staff doesn’t have much faith in Mark Hendrickson, so let’s discuss some scenarios.

The No. 24 locker is conspicuous by its absence in the visiting clubhouse at Nationals Park.
Adam Eaton no longer is with the Orioles. An announcement should be coming shortly that he’s been released.
We believe that the Orioles have recalled Matt Albers from Triple-A Norfolk to give them an extra reliever for this series. He hasn’t [...]
