By James Bailey Everything that can go wrong for the Orioles this year has. Key players have been waylaid by injuries. The meat of the order (well, pretty much the entire thing) hasn’t hit. Instead of taking the next step back toward respectability after owning the cellar in the American League East for the past [...]
By James Bailey Brian Matusz and Jeremy Guthrie have shown the Orioles a glimpse of the future and the past over the past three weeks. Since Aug. 20, the duo is 7-1 for a Baltimore team that has gone 10-11 overall.

Chris Tillman, who came over from the Mariners in the Erik Bedard package last year, is at Triple-A Norfolk. Jake Arrieta, the team’s fifth-round pick in 2007, is right behind him at [...]
By Ron Thompson Nolan Reimold was called up by the Baltimore Orioles today. It’s about time. All Reimold was doing was hitting .394/.485/.743 with nine home runs at Triple-A, following a 2008 season in which he hit .284 with 25 home runs and 84 RBI in 507 at-bats at Double-A. He had hit .306 with [...]
By Bill Begley Right now, the rest of the teams in the NL West are probably checking the standings – in the other divisions. A wildcard berth might be the best postseason hope for those chasing Los Angeles. Sunday’s win over San Diego completed a three-game sweep and gave the Dodgers a 10-0 record at [...]
