7:05 PM

Fans are encouraged to arrive early on Friday, July 8, as the Orioles celebrate the 50th anniversary of their 1966 World Series victory. Prior to the 7:05 p.m. ET game against the Los Angeles Angels, the Orioles will commemorate the first World Championship in club history with a video tribute, followed by an on-field ceremony including 13 members of the 1966 World Series team.

The pregame video will begin at approximately 6:00 p.m., detailing the Orioles' 4-0 sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1966 Fall Classic. Following the tribute video, the Orioles will welcome back National Baseball Hall of Famers and Orioles Legends JIM PALMER and BROOKS ROBINSON, as well as EDDIE FISHER, DICK HALL, LARRY HANEY, BILL HUNTER, BOB JOHNSON, DAVEY JOHNSON, JOHN MILLER, BOOG POWELL, VIC ROZNOVSKY, RUSS SNYDER, and EDDIE WATT during an on-field ceremony.

During the game, the Orioles will wear 1966 replica throwback uniforms featuring a patch celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1966 World Series victory. The Orioles game-worn replica throwback jerseys will be autographed, authenticated, and auctioned online to benefit the Orioles Charitable Foundation. The auction will also include 50th anniversary jerseys autographed by the alumni in attendance.

All fans in attendance on July 8 will receive a 1966 50th anniversary-themed Orioles T-shirt and will enjoy fireworks set to hit songs from 1966 following the game. The Orioles will continue the 50th Anniversary celebration with a 1966 Jim Palmer replica jersey giveaway, presented by UMBC, for the first 20,000 fans 15 and over on July 24, when the Orioles host the Cleveland Indians at 1:35 p.m.

Surprising move starting Jimenez over Wright as Wright has very good numbers against the Angels in two starts while Jimenez has awful numbers over 10 appearances. Anyway, no reason to go into detail here as we all know about this guy.

Matt Shoemaker

(3-9)

4.40 (1.32/.277)

93K / 20BB, 11HR

QS: 9

Since his awesome performance against us in last May, Shoemaker has really come on for the Angels and put up a 2.14 ERA in June with seven of his nine starts since then being up to my QS standards which means he has been very good. He allowed four runs once and five runs once which was in his last start against Boston. In the four starts before that of 27.1 IP, he allowed only four runs total and has lowered his ERA from 6.81 to 4.40 starting with his gem against us which is just more of the same for him when it comes to facing the Orioles. In his three starts against us, he has been dominant and has not walked a single Orioles hitter. He was very good at Camden Yards as well, so this could be trouble for the Orioles.

The Dodgers really showed why their offense has struggled this season as they had numerous chances to win the finale, but just kept hitting into double plays and pop ups in critical run scoring situations and the Orioles eventually took the series. Now facing the Angels, whose three game winning streak came against the Rays, the Orioles have a chance to end the first half on a high note before things get tough down the stretch. Matt Shoemaker won't likely be making things easy for them as he never has to this point.

Shoemaker and Jimenez. Jimenez sucks against the Angels and Shoemaker is dominant against the Orioles. Nuff said. Wright would have been more interesting here, but oh well.

Toronto continues their winning ways coming back late to beat the Tigers for their sixth straight win and are now two games back of the Orioles who have a real shot to win another series against the Angels. Boston remains three back and still occupies the second WC spot along with Toronto with Houston a game back and Detroit two back. Texas got hammered by the Twins, but Houston and Seattle also lost and so no ground is gained with Houston remaining 6.5 back in the division.

    • Kimbrel is striking out 14.9 per 9.   Lack of strikeouts hasn’t been an issue for him.  
    • Thank god you’re back!   But how about: 11.  Mike Elias.    (Not funny, but accurate.).   
    • From what I've understand, the issue is less about park dimensions but about the batting eye behind CF.  So it could have an impact on any type of hitter.
    • Didn't former Oriole Closer go right from college to the Orioles Pen after a very brief cup of coffee in the minors?
    • 10. Nobody can hit against Orioles pitchers. They cano hit against Cano, Burnes burns them, Means is mean to them, Webb puts them in web of deception, Akin is akin to Koufax at his peak, all they can do is suarez at Suarez, Cole leaves them cold, Bradish bradishes an unhittable slider, hitters bow to Baumann, their hair turns gray against Grayson, and bats cool off against Coulombe. 9. Seeing that everyone else in the rotation is throwing shutouts, in his next start Burnes will hold the opposing team to -1 runs. When the rest of the rotation matches that, he’ll hold them to -2 runs, and on a good day, -5. Opponents will get dizzy running the bases backwards. 8. At some point during the season, when the Orioles lead over the second-place Yankees shrinks to only 20 games and everyone is panicking, we will hear trumpets and the pounding hooves of calvary charging up the steps at Camden Yards, and riding in on a huge orange and black charger will be the savior, who will lead the Orioles to victory . . . yes, the return of Jackson Holiday. 7. Spring Stowers bring Mayo powers. 6. They have a Murderer's Row of Holliday, Nordby, Kjerstad, Mayo, and Stowers … and that’s just the reserves. 5. There once was a closer Kimbrel, Who bragged he’d put hitters in hell, Craig Kimbrel can boast that the game’s in the bag, Cuz his name is an anagram of Limerick Brag, So save after save he’ll befell*. (*We’ll ignore some recent performances.) 4. You can’t spell “Baltimore” without “Mateo RBI” and an “L” for the two Lefty pitchers he’s homered against. 3. The Orioles have given up two or fewer runs for seven straight games, outscoring opponents 29-8. In other words, par. Next they go for birdies, which should be easy for an Oriole. 2. On April 11, Colton Cowser hit his first major league home run. It traveled 438 feet. He sent us a clear message – do I really need to spell out the obvious? Okay. 438 is divisible by 2 x 3 x 73. Who are #2 and #3 on the Orioles? Henderson and Mateo, both shortstops. And who was the shortstop for the ’73 Orioles? Belanger. In 544 plate appearances that year, Belanger hit exactly zero home runs while batting .226. Cowser’s clear message to us? We are no longer hitless wonders. Duh. 1. Oh, and they lead the AL in home runs by ten, in slugging by 42 points, OPS by 27 points, runs by 12, lead the AL East in batting average and in both fielding percentage and efficiency, lead the majors in ERA in May (1.20, and that doesn’t include the 2-0 and 4-2 wins at the end of April), and in a secret vote their starting rotation of the past week was voted Greatest Starting Rotation in History.
