Baltimore Orioles

With Baltimore at 15-28 and firmly in the basement of the American League East, Hyde’s position grew evermore tenuous by the day.

Here’s analysis from The Baltimore Banner sports desk on the Orioles’ coaching staff shake-up.

Washington came away with a series-opening win, and Baltimore looks as deflated as ever.

The Orioles don’t chase pitches out of the strike zone and produce high average exit velocities. Why are they failing?

An inexperienced coaching staff has not been able to pull the team out of its doldrums.

The reality is watching Sugano pitch is one of the few joys of this team, even on days like Thursday.

The Orioles have lost all six games against Minnesota and, in turn, they’ve helped the Twins win 11 straight.

The All-Star shortstop had four hits, including a home run, in Wednesday’s doubleheader.

The Orioles are 0-22 when trailing after six innings. Comebacks have been nearly nonexistent this season.

A Washington Post letter to the editor criticizing the Baltimore national anthem tradition for being disrespectful misses the point of what patriotism should be about.

Manager Brandon Hyde said Westburg’s running progression has been halted to allow the hamstring more time to heal.

This is the time of year for Baltimore’s birds – those pint-sized songsters whose bold tangerine sets off beautifully against the green trees.

Rose’s permanent ban was lifted eight months after his death and came a day before the Cincinnati Reds will honor baseball’s career hits leader with Pete Rose Night.

This team and this problem are on my mind when I’m planting flowers with my family, at the playground, driving to work, grocery shopping, having a late-night beer or three, driving home from hockey, trying to enjoy my morning coffee.

The Orioles catcher is batting just .203, but there is reason to believe he’s been the victim of bad luck.

Wins like Sunday's 7-3 series clincher against the Angels have come too rarely. If they can be aggressive and opportunistic on offense, why can't they do it more often?

Handley, the Orioles’ 27-year-old backup catcher, was playing his fourth major league game.

Gibson gave up five runs in his third straight ugly start, and the Orioles failed to summon a response.

After a 14-23 start, the veteran skipper said he isn't happy with how the team has played but doesn't worry about being fired. GM Mike Elias’ backing “means a lot,” he said Saturday in Anaheim.

Unfortunately for the Orioles, the pending returns of injured players are a meek balm for what are increasingly feeling like mortals wounds to this season.
