Official 2012 Baltimore Orioles Thread

Never heard of him, but I wouldn't be surprised if he starts on Opening Day!

ouch. He's had stints with the Padres, Jays and 'stros.

Best of luck to him. It's always cool to see a guy get the chance to play for his hometown team, and the Orioles certainly need all the help they can get on the mound.

i believe we have 2 pitchers with a positive w/l and under 4 career ERA. theyre both relievers..

we havent made any big moves this season, but i think our bullpen is better than last year, which is a start.

dylan bundy is legit.

I have always had doubts about O's pitching prospects, but this kid will be an absolute stud.

O's on MASN tonight against the Bucs at 7.

FYI - Saturday June 9th - only 1 seat remaining, if you want any orange and black in the stands. Might be the only other sellout outside of opening day.

Considering the Nats have yet to accomplish anything (other than providing great seats for Phillies and Mets, and sometimes Orioles fans), I'd recommend you hold onto your players. As Orioles fans from past years know, a team that looks good on paper doesn't always deliver on the field.

1. Given the number of Red Sox, Yankees...and yes, Nats fans that take over OPACY, I wouldn't be pointing fingers.
2. The Orioles haven't had some much as a .500 season in almost 15 years. The Nats managed that in their 1st year here. And will be cracking .500 this year.
3. If there is one thing I can expect -- it's overrated Orioles prospects. Strasburg, Gonzalez, Zimmermann and Jackson have already proven they get pitch -- and pitch well -- at the ML level. Not so much for the O's.

Oh yeah -- then there is Bryce Harper and Anthony Rendon coming. And Matt Purke had his velocity back in his 1st spring start -- so that is at least encouraging. How's Matt Hobgood working out for you?

God, I love watching the O's suffer after what the POS Angelos did to keep the Nats out.

And I love watching Nats fans troll on an Orioles thread and beat their chests over a .500 record (from 7 years ago!). It's like two fat girls arguing about who looks better in a bikini.
Most fans on this thread know the Orioles suck. So get over yourself.

I honestly have no problem with the Nats. They'll be a good team. But damn so of their fans are annoying.

I love Oriole fans that take swipes at Nats fans and their organization (especially the part about opposing fans at the park) and then duck and cover when they respond. Oriole and Baltimore fans are far worse in the annoying department. I mean...they still do the wave in OPACY.

I've been to Redskin games and seen the wave. What's your point?

Other than it's moronic?

He has no point, just an obsession with comparing his team to one of the few clubs that have fared worse over the past several years. Hope he feels better!

[sportjunkie07]

hmm nats fan bumping in here to spread the news about the nat's "superiority". sounds about right.

maybe if they have an above .500 record they'll lose the small man complex and feel enough validation so as not to talk **** to orioles' fans. i doubt it though.

[MattFancy]

O's looking good today. Up 6-0 early!
