Orioles score eight runs in the eighth inning and beat the Indians 11-6

OldTimeOriole — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 13:47:13 +0000

The Baltimore Orioles used a big eight run eighth inning to beat the Cleveland Indians on Thursday night. When it was all said and done, the O’s came out on top by the score of 11-6. The O’s pounded out 17 hits to score their 11 runs. This was a big offensive game for both teams as the pitching staffs both threw the ball terribly.

Kevin Millar had three rbi to lead the time while Lou Montanez, Ramon Hernandez, and Juan Castro had two runs batted in each. Melvin Mora and Aubrey Huff both chipped in with an rbi each of their own. (I should mention that Huff cleared waivers but it is unknown if he will be traded to a team like the Brewers)

Orioles starting pitcher Daniel Cabrera was charged with eight hits and three runs in 5 2/3 innings. D. Cabrera ended up with the no decision as Fernando Cabrera got the win. Alberto Castillo made things interesting in the ninth inning when he gave up four hits and three runs. Talk about the offense coming back and picking up the pitching staff with those eight runs late in the game.

OldTimeOriole — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 02:21:22 +0000

The Baltimore Orioles held on for a 7-6 victory over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night. A big four run seventh inning propelled the O’s to the big victory. The Orioles did have a 7-3 lead heading into the bottom of the ninth inning but then the Yankees made things interesting as they scored three runs.

Aubrey Huff led the Orioles at the plate with a bases loaded clearing double in the seventh inning and a solo home run in the ninth inning. Huff finished the game with a team high four rbi. Melvin Mora was next in line with two rbi has he had a rbi single in the first inning that got the O’s on the scoreboard. Kevin Millar finished up the scoring the the Orioles as he had a rbi double in the seventh inning. Nice balanced scoring for the team against the Yankees.

Daniel Cabrera tossed seven innings while giving up eight hits and three runs to get the win. It was a nice quality start for Cabrera as he improved to 7-6 on the year. Jim Johnson pitched a scoreless inning and then George Sherrill threw the ninth inning. Sherrill did have his problems as he gave up three runs and had the game tying run at second base. Luckily Sherrill was finally able to get the final out with the Orioles still leading.

Great win for the Orioles and they will try to get another one on Wednesday. Orioles Baseball Blog

Orioles can’t figure out Roy Halladay and lose 7-1

OldTimeOriole — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:27:01 +0000

The Baltimore Orioles offense once again only scored one run as they could not figure out Toronto Blue Jays starter Roy Halladay. Halladay through seven strong innings while only allowing one run to the Orioles and then the Blue Jays bullpen pitched the final two innings without even giving up a hit to the O’s. That is what you call a terribly outing by your offense.

The one runt hat the Orioles did get came in the 6th inning when Luke Scott it a rbi sac fly to score Aubrey Huff. It was just another bad outing by the offense who really gave the pitching staff no shot at winning.

Daniel Cabrera was rockied for 11 hits and seven runs in only five innings as he took the loss to fall to 6-6 on the season. Fernando Cabrera, Alberto Castillo, George Sherrill pitched the final four innings of the game and held the Blue Jays to seven runs. So atleast they did their job.

Things won’t get any easier for the Orioles as they are set to take on the Los Angeles Angels in a weekend series starting Friday night. I don’t like this series at all from a Orioles view. Baltimore Orioles Baseball

Daniel Cabrera and the Orioles agree on one year contract

OldTimeOriole — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 04:20:43 +0000

Daniel Cabrera has signed a new one year contract with the Baltimore Orioles that is worth just shy of $3 million dollars. Cabrera will receive around $1 million more then he did last year.

Hopefully for Cabrera and the Orioles he will have a better year in 2008. He has the stuff to be a good starting pitcher, he just needs to find his role and dominate like he is capable of.
