Where is Delmarva?

Not sure exactly but I drive past their ball park everytime I go to OC.

That's actually why I asked. I know the ball park you're talking about but never knew which team it was for. Always thought about planning a trip with time to stop and check it out... never happened.

Hmm, if they stick to the script and keep him there for a while I may try to make that happen in a few months.

The ballpark for the Delmarva Shorebirds is in Salisbury, MD (about 35-40 minutes from Ocean City, MD). Delmarva is the name of the peninsula of the eastern shore as it contains DELaware, MARyland and VirginiA.

With two games left in the White Sox series, it would be huge if we could win one more and at least take 3 out of 4. The past few years the O's have actually played around .500 ball at Camden Yards but been dreadful on the road. I know it is early but so far this season the O's are 4-1 on the road.

Fixed. Been a good start, but it usually is early April. Will be interesting to see them when Britton comes back. If the pitching can maintain the offense should score runs.

O's need a win tonight. Gotta bounce back from last nights loss and take advantage of a struggling Angels squad.

Orioles trade minor league 3B prospect Josh Bell to Arizona for a player to be named later.

Thought he was a steal two years ago. Sadly he hasn't panned out for the birds. All the best to him.

Man, another young prospect to get excited about, watch get stuck in neutral and then eventually get next to nothing out of. Good thing Jones is showing his potential to show we got one of these right (until he jets out of town as soon as he can).

BTW, I'm wondering if Britton will be right again. I really hope so but there are doubts. WTH is wrong with Matsuz?

Re: Bird's Nest - 2012 Baltimore Orioles thread

Matusz got his first win of the year tonight, keeping the bronx bombers at bay. This was exactly the type of outing he needed. I'm glad the offense gave him some good run support!

Re: Bird's Nest - 2012 Baltimore Orioles thread

IMO this was a huge early season win. They were 0-4 against the yanks to this point. Ended that streak in a big way. Matusz getting the win was also huge. They have a brutal May schedule if this team wants to stay in the fold in the AL East they need to hold their water this month. It did get easier with Longo's injury though.

If JJ Hardy starts hitting the line-up would be even better. Like I said, this was a very big early season win especially with Matusz on the bump. Very happy to see that.

Re: Bird's Nest - 2012 Baltimore Orioles thread

Another impressive win tonight from the O's. Taking two out of three in New York was a good sign. When is the last time the Orioles held the Yankees to 3 runs total in a 3 game series? lol

Re: Bird's Nest - 2012 Baltimore Orioles thread

What a great road trip 5-1 with a sweep of the Bo Sox to top it off in 17 innings. I gotta admit that game was annoyingly too long to watch, but it was great to see Chris Davis pitch 2 innings to get the win which erases today's 0-5. May's schedule is a grind. 4 vs Texas with Matusz on the bump tomorrow.

Re: Bird's Nest - 2012 Baltimore Orioles thread

Well after bending over and taking it from Josh Hamilton and the Rangers, (luckily got 1 of the 4) the O's have bounced back nicely and won two in a row against the Rays. With Sundays game against Tampa and a short 2 game series against the Yankees, I am hoping for 2 out of the next 3.
