Orioles
There is No Joy in Mudville
The Baltimore Orioles will play baseball again one day. But it won’t be tomorrow. They were supposed to open their 2020 season on Thursday, Mar. 26. It would have been the earliest start in the club’s history, which goes back two-thirds of a century. Now, it’ll be the...
Being a Part of It All
I finally figured it out. Something’s been bothering me about the Orioles’ good five-season stretch from 2012 to 2016. And yes, it was a good stretch, despite the Orioles regularly bragging that during that period, they were the winningest team in the American...
Ending the O’s Losing Streak against Yankees Could Revive Baltimore’s Baseball Fever
No, I am not predicting that the Orioles’ season in 2020 will be like the “Why Not?” season of 1989. But I’ll share a little something I gleaned from the players who were in town for the 30th anniversary of that very special season. As those players came in to speak...
For the Orioles’ Future, Smart Spending Must be a Mantra
Every time I’ve been excited about the beginning of a new chapter of Orioles baseball, I have never once considered that Peter Angelos wouldn’t fund the team with enough dollars for the team to contend. Now, how he and his baseball people have chosen to spend...
Orioles Pitching Prospect Dean Kremer Appreciates Support Of Baltimore Jewish Community — PressBox
By Jordan Gold Orioles pitching prospect Dean Kremer, a right-hander with the Double-A Bowie Baysox, has a background that is quite rare to find in a professional baseball player. Kremer, who holds U.S.-Israeli dual citizenship, was the first Israeli to ever be...
Remembering Baltimore Sports Greats Manny Machado, Joe Flacco and Frank Robinson
Retiring Orioles radio announcer Joe Angel had a signature home run call that seems to fit this column like a glove. “Wave it bye-bye!” Joe would say whenever a player hit one over the fence. In a similar vein, Baltimore recently lost three great parts of a storied...
10 American Jewish Baseball Players to Become Dual Israeli Citizens to Boost Olympics Bid
(JTA) — Ten Jewish-American baseball players will become dual Israeli citizens partly to help the country’s team make the 2020 Olympics. Some of the players, who will visit Israel’s Interior Ministry next week to begin the process, also represented Israel in last...
Adam Jones — Should He Stay or Should He Go?
An Adam Jones conversation devoid of numbers might be a good idea for the O’s. If you think the 2018 baseball season in Baltimore has been horrific, well, that’s certainly no news flash. At last, Orioles ownership and management has gone all in for a much-needed...
Catching Up with Dean Kremer, Baseball’s 1st Israeli Player
Don’t let Dean Kremer’s polite, soft-spoken manner fool you. When the 22-year-old, California-born pitcher toes the rubber like a praying mantis, you’d best watch out. Blink and you’ll miss a fastball searing the corners of the strike zone. Or a curveball...Upcoming Events
