Myriad O’s Thoughts: Gausman’s return; Wieters’ stock rising; rotation shuffle
Perhaps it was too much to ask Orioles’ right-hander Kevin Gausman to deliver a dominating performance Tuesday night in the club’s 5-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. He hadn’t pitched in more than a week, having his start pushed back from Sunday to Tuesday due to intercostal muscle discomfort. Gausman is...

Dylan Bundy: ‘I don’t feel fatigued out there’
If you want to get the unassuming Dylan Bundy to look at you cross-eyed, ask him whether fatigue or adjustments by the opposition – the Boston Red Sox twice and the Tampa Bay Rays once – have led to him allowing 13 earned runs in his last 14 innings. With a cocked...

Wade ‘Flipping’ Miley and these crazy 2016 Orioles
Wade Miley. Wade Flipping Miley. What else is there to say about Saturday night, about these Orioles? Miley even added an accidental visual to go hand in hand (or finger in finger). We’ll get to that in a moment. But if you want to get a sense of how crazy, how unpredictable,...

Trumbo on walkoff win: ‘A real gut punch if it goes the other way’
Here’s the thing about baseball. So many little moments can determine the outcome of a game. Or those little things can mean absolutely nothing, can be totally forgotten with one play, one swing, one pitch. The Orioles squandered chance after chance Friday night at Camden Yards.
