Orioles fans’ grounds for optimism
For a dozen consecutive seasons, the Orioles have offered more of the same to a frustrated fan base: high-paid veterans and lightly regarded youngsters fighting and failing in the ultracompetitive American League East.
As the Orioles’ season opens today in St. Petersburg, Fla., and kicks off at home Friday at Camden Yards, most national prognosticators don’t give the club much chance to rise above fourth, which would be a step up from the fifth-place basement in 2009.
Yet in talking to fans, management and players, there’s a slightly different feeling this year – that the optimism that exists every spring has a little more merit. For the first time in recent memory, the Orioles have a young core with major league baseball experience.
“The years in the past, we’ve been waiting to get the guys up here. We’ve been mixing and matching guys here and there,” said Orioles right fielder Nick Markakis, 26. “I think we’re at the point now where it’s about winning.”

Markakis voted Orioles’ MVP for 2009
The Orioles have spoken, and they’ve chosen Nick Markakis as their Most Valuable Player in an informal but comprehensive polling of the clubhouse. More than 20 players and the team’s manager responded to a recent survey regarding the team’s MVP, and Markakis edged Brian Roberts by a single vote.
And if that wasn’t close enough, a closer inspection of the ballot makes the point even clearer. Six players opted to split their choice between Markakis and Roberts, and one even divvied his choice between those two and Adam Jones. Jones and Brad Bergesen were the only other players to receive a single vote.
Jeremy Guthrie, who opted to cut his ballot into thirds, explained why the polling was so close.
“Each of them have done so much for the team, and all of them are so important that losing them would have a dramatic effect,” he said. “We see that now with Jones sidelined. And they all play key positions for us. Start to finish, Nick’s had a very solid season defensively and offensively. Brian’s shown again why he’s so important to our team, setting the table for us all year and having a tremendous second half. Adam Jones has obviously had a breakout season and he’s showed a lot of the potential that everyone saw in him.”

Roberts hopes to double up on records
Brian Roberts broke his own record in the Orioles’ 10-5 win over the Rays on Tuesday, and he’ll have his eyes on bigger game Wednesday and for the rest of the season. Baltimore’s second baseman set a new franchise record with his 52nd double of the year, and he’s just three away from tying the alltime mark for doubles by a switch-htter.
That record was set by Lance Berkman in 2001, and Roberts is also within striking distance of the all-time record for doubles by a second baseman. That one — 60 by Charlie Gehringer in 1936 — may be a little harder to reach. And for Roberts, it seems like everywhere he goes he finds people talking about the same topic.

O’s to curtail workload of rookie pitchers
The Orioles announced the end of the road for some of their rookie pitchers on Tuesday. Andy MacPhail, the Orioles’ president of baseball operations, said that Brad Bergesen is done for the season and manager Dave Trembley announced a plan to curtail innings for both Brian Matusz and Chris Tillman.
Bergesen had been attempting to return from a bruised left shin and wasn’t progressing as quickly as the team would’ve liked. Bergesen, who went 7-5 with a 3.43 ERA in 19 starts for Baltimore, probably wouldn’t have been able to make it back until the last week of the season, prompting the team to end his year early.
Things are a little different for Tillman and Matusz, who have been healthy all season. The Orioles are determined to be careful with the youngsters and make sure they don’t overstrain their arms too early in the process.

Matusz building resume with each start
Five starts into his big-league career, Brian Matusz isn’t concerned with his statistics. The former first-round Draft pick knows his numbers and knows that he can perform better, but he’s also fully cognizant that he’s building an important foundation and moving forward pitch-by-pitch and outing by outing.
“From the first five starts, I’ve learned so much,” Matusz said Wednesday. “I really have learned a lot about myself and yesterday was one of the biggest learning days because I was able to battle through a game without having my best stuff. Knowing I could still still go five innings, put together a decent outing and still give the team a chance to win without my good stuff, it makes me feel a lot better knowing how well I can do if I do have my good stuff.”
