Luke Scott Makes #5 of the Best Designated Hitters of 2010

homerunheyer — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 18:33:22 +0000

There are only nine everyday DH’s in the American League. DH is a position and will not be left out. Out of the nine DH’s, five of them really stand out as premier hitters that are contributing to their team in a big way.

5. Luke Scott, Baltimore Orioles: The Orioles are yet again having a horrible year. The Orioles have the worst record in baseball and are 24 games behind the first place Yankees. Scott is the Orioles everyday DH and is putting up decent numbers. Scott is hitting .266 with 11 home runs and 28 RBI’s. Scott’s RBI numbers are low, but that isn’t his fault. If Scott was playing on a winning team his RBI numbers would probably be close to 50. Scott is playing like a normal DH does, he’s hitting for a low average and has decent power numbers, Scott is leading the team in slugging- .495, exactly what a DH is supposed to do.
Thanks to the Orioles awful pitching, people like Scott and his teammates, Nick Markakis, and Ty Wigginton who are all having good years, aren’t being recognized.

Did Miguel Tejada Take Steroids in 2004?

homerunheyer — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 20:58:50 +0000

I took a look back at the year 2004 and discovered many players who were only average players really stepped up their offense that year. Then there are other players who were already good and had a spectacular year in 2004. The players that I came up with that stood out the most in 2004 are a little fishy to me. Is their production up that year by natural talent or was it a product of the steroid era?

Miguel Tejada: Tejada already had the reputation of an all-star player in 2004 averaging 30 home runs and 100 RBI’s from 1998-2003. Once again Tejada had his best year in 2004 when he hit 34 home runs and had 150 RBI’s. From 2005 on, Tejada went into a steady decline and that trend is still continuing today.

Melvin Mora: Mora was in his fifth full season and only averaged about 15 home runs a season and 50 RBI’s. In 2004 Mora hit 27 home runs and 104 RBI’s. In 2005 Mora had similar numbers, but from 2006 on he only averaged about 17 home runs and 65 RBI’s. 2004 is still Mora’s best season.

Orioles fans’ grounds for optimism

GameSetMatch — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 18:38:31 +0000

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.”

O’s end season with four-game winning streak

Team closes book on tough 2009 campaign on high note, sweeping away Blue Jays

A walk-off win was the best possible way for the Orioles to end an otherwise disappointing 2009 season.

But in typical Orioles fashion, the circumstances made it hard to get overly excited about the victory. There was no game-ending home run or even a game-winning single. The Orioles’ 5-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday was achieved when reliever Brandon League made back-to-back throwing errors on sacrifice bunt attempts in the 11th inning.

“It was certainly a strange final day,” Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts said. “You don’t expect to play extra innings, and you certainly don’t expect to end it on back-to-back bunt throwing errors. It’s good for us to end with four wins, and to end on a positive note and let everybody kind of go out of here with a smile on their face.”

Orioles end losing streak, road trip

rsanrel — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:26:58 +0000

For about 15 seconds, Orioles manager Dave Trembley felt as if time were standing still. It had been far too long since he last experienced the feeling; there had been far too much heartache since he last witnessed his players gather for the handshake line.

It didn’t come easily, but nothing ever does for Trembley and the Orioles. When struggling closer Jim Johnson gloved Akinori Iwamura’s comebacker and threw to first baseman Michael Aubrey for the game’s final out, the Orioles had a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, and a 13-game losing streak and the most trying stretch of Trembley’s career had mercifully ended.

“Oh my, I can’t explain it to you. We’ve got the music on in the clubhouse and I’m drinking something other than a diet soda,” Trembley said. “I can tell you that right now. It’s unbelievable. I’m just glad this thing is over. I can’t think of anything [else] that has been as challenging.”

The 13-game skid, which demoralized the club and brought more attention to Trembley’s tenuous job security, was the longest in the major leagues this season and the third-longest in franchise history. It ended one game shy of the 14-game losing streak that the organization suffered through Aug. 11-25, 1954, and eight games behind the 21 consecutive contests the 1988 team lost to begin that year.

With the victory in their road finale this season, the Orioles escaped the first winless road trip of seven games or more in franchise history and kept alive their chances of avoiding another dubious distinction accomplished by the 1988 squad.
