Orioles vs. Athletics



Orioles vs. Athletics (Camden Yards)
Game 1 WON 8-6
Game 2 WON 4-3
Game 3 WON 18-2 (Wow...)
Game 4 WON 4-2

CURRENT RECORD: 61-57 (Third Place)

INJURY UPDATES:

Matt Wieters taken off of the disabled list, but Chaz Roe fills his place- on the 15-day disabled list for right shoulder tendinitis (which seems to be all the Orioles injuries lately, from all the other times I've written this blog)

NEWS INSIDE THE YARD (Mainly From the Mets Game That Occurred Yesterday-8/18):

Little girl with a robotic arm threw out the opening day pitch yesterday. She can be seen throwing out the pitch to Manny Machado, with her awesome orange and black hand which featured an Orioles bird on it.

Steve Clevenger played last night's game, meaning probably Wieters is starting back tonight. I write this in the news because it actually is a reminder to all that Clevenger is actually still with the Orioles, and never got traded away.

Speaking of:
Where is Robert Andino now? We all know the infamous 2011 game that the Orioles played again the Red Sox, winning last minute 3-4. It is unclear if he's still playing with a baseball, or is just on a minor league team. It says on Baseball Reference that Andino last played in 2013 with Seattle. More research on this is yet to come. The same case goes with Felix Pie who played with the Orioles from 2009 to 2011 and he also last played in 2013 with the Pittsburgh Pirates. According to Bleacher Nation, Pie signed a contract with the Hanwha Eagles in Korea. I only bring up this topic because of the Orioles playing the Mets. Obviously Curtis Granderson is on their team, and since the Orioles play him for what could be one to two series it can be considered that I forgot him. Same goes for Robinson Cano who seems to have also dropped off the face of the earth, because I never see him participating in Home Run Derbies and of that such. Maybe it was just the publicity he had from the yankees organization...
