Rest in peace, Frank Robinson.ESTShareTweetShareShareFriday Bird Droppings: Where we’re saying goodbye to an Orioles superstarJohn Hefti-USA TODAY SportsGood morning, Camden Chatters.Yesterday was a somber day in Baltimore, and all across baseball, with the news of Frank Robinson’s passing at the age of 83. Robinson was truly an unforgettable presence in baseball lore, from the incredible Hall of Fame career — in which he racked up 586 home runs and 1,812 RBIs over his 21 seasons, and won MVP awards in both leagues — to the trailblazing tenacity that saw him become the first black manager in MLB history. Robinson was an iconic figure in Orioles history, transforming them from a good team into a World Series champion during his six incredible years as a player, and later serving as a manager, coach, and executive. His statue stands proudly at Camden Yards, one of just six Orioles legends to be so honored.Fond memories of Robinson have poured in from fans, former teammates, and media, including a wonderful tribute from our own Mark Brown. Yesterday on MLB Network, Orioles Hall of Famer and MASN broadcaster Jim Palmer shared further accolades.“Thank goodness the Cincinnati Reds thought that Frank was an old 30,” Palmer said. “At the end of the day, he made all of us better players. He was going to play the game hard. He was going to play the game fair. And he was a guy, I think Wilmer Difo Jersey , when you look across into our dugout, that’s the guy you didn’t want to face in the ninth inning. He was just a marvelous player. Obviously I’m a little biased because I played with him all those years, but I’ve been around the game over 50 years, and he was one of the great offensive players I ever saw.”And Robinson, of course, was perhaps the best clubhouse leader in Orioles’ history.“They used to have a non-fraternization thing,” Palmer said, “where you’re not supposed to talk to the other team. If anyone did, Frank would fine them $50. Frank would go, ‘No, we don’t talk to the other team. We beat the other team.’ So he kind of set that edge. We used to have that kangaroo court, and guess who the judge was? It was Frank Robinson. He ruled.”Indeed, Frank Robinson ruled. By every definition of the word.LinksFrank Robinson, MVP, first black manager, dies at 83 - ESPNAmong the notes in this biography of Robinson is that he had trouble finding housing when he came to Baltimore because some landlords refused black tenants.

You share your big day with Camden Chat favorite Felix Pie, who turns 34 today. Although Pie’s overall stats in his three years with the Orioles were pretty terrible — .259/.303/.391 with 14 homers and 67 RBIs in 268 games — he won our hearts with his moxie and gumption and overall adorableness. And remember that time he hit for the cycle? Good old Felix.Other ex-Orioles with birthdays today are 1974 nine-gamer Bob Oliver (76) and 1955-56 outfielder Hoot Evers. Evers Brian Goodwin Jersey , who died in 1991 at age 69, would have been 98 today.On this day 11 years ago, Andy MacPhail pulled off a heist of a trade for the Orioles, dealing Erik Bedard to the Mariners for a five-player package that included Adam Jones and Chris Tillman. Jones by himself would have made the trade a steal; he spent 11 years with the Birds and ranks in their top five in hits, runs, homers, and RBIs, and his 31.5 WAR (per Baseball Reference) is 12th-most in Orioles history — not to mention his invaluable clubhouse leadership skills.On top of that add Tillman, the Orioles’ ace during much of their recent winning stretch, and George Sherrill, who spent a season and a half as their closer, and all told the O’s received a total of 42.9 WAR in that deal (even including Tillman’s -3.3 the last two years). The Mariners, meanwhile, got 4.1 WAR out of Bedard in three injury-plagued seasons.It was one of the greatest trades in Orioles history, perhaps second only to, well, Frank Robinson. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bruce Bochy seemed uncertain how to respond to the question.The Giants had just rallied for four runs with two outs in the ninth inning Monday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers‘ beleaguered bullpen for a 5-2 victory.And then someone asked San Francisco’s manager if he felt sorry for the Dodgers, whose bullpen lost its fourth consecutive game with closer Kenley Jansen on the disabled list.“Excuse me?” Bochy said.Then came the laughter.The Giants could afford to chuckle after pinch-hitter Nick Hundley drove in the tying and go-ahead runs with a single. San Francisco tacked on two more runs after that.“What a great comeback,” Bochy said. “We had some really great at-bats there in the ninth. Hundley, it doesn’t get any more clutch than that. He came through at the right time.“Great comeback on the road. It’s been a while since we have had one like that.”The Giants improved to .500, while the Dodgers fell one game behind the first-place Arizona Diamondbacks in the crowded NL West. San Francisco is just five games out of first.The ending was familiar for the Dodgers, who wasted a masterful performance by Clayton Kershaw. The left-hander held the Giants to one run in eight innings, allowing four hits http://www.nationalsfanproshop.com/authentic-matt-adams-jersey , striking out nine and walking none.And then the bullpen threw it away.“They’re doing the best they can,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “They’re trying to make pitches. They’re in uncharted territory.”Kershaw turned the ninth over to Scott Alexander (2-1), part of the late-inning committee the Dodgers have used since Jansen went on the disabled list Thursday with an irregular heartbeat.The Giants loaded the bases with two outs before Hundley lined a two-run single to center.“Bases loaded, tying run at third, you are afforded the luxury of being aggressive in that spot based on his approach,” Hundley said. “Thankfully I got a good pitch to hit.”Ray Black (2-1) pitched a scoreless eighth for the Giants, and Will Smith worked the ninth to earn his ninth save in 11 opportunities.Kershaw blooped a double to score Los Angeles’ first run, and Justin Turner’s homer gave the Dodgers a brief 2-0 lead.NO RELIEFThe Dodgers have now lost four straight because they lack an obvious replacement for Jansen. Los Angeles was struggling to identify an eighth-inning set-up man and now has no closer.“It’ll turn,” Roberts said. “It’s been a tough four games, but we have to keep getting leads and putting teams away.”ANOTHER LEFTY DUELIt was the 11th time Kershaw and Madison Bumgarner have faced each other, the most of any two active pitchers. Bumgarner allowed two runs in six innings.“The guys did an unbelievable job coming back there,” Bumgarner said. “It was a good game on both sides. (Kershaw) was better than me tonight for sure, but we were better than they were. I think that is a good way to put it.”TRAINER’S ROOMGiants: SS Brandon Crawford left the game in the bottom of the fourth after colliding with OF Gorkys Herndandez on Kershaw’s bloop double. He appeared to take a knee to the head from Hernandez and is on concussion protocol. … 1B Brandon Belt (hyper extended right knee) made a second rehab start Monday, but it was uncertain whether he would rejoin the Giants in Los Angeles on Tuesday. … RHP Jeff Samardzija (right shoulder inflammation) threw a simulated game Monday. Bochy said he threw about 30 pitches.Dodgers: 2B Brian Dozier left the game after the eighth, complaining of dizziness. Roberts said Dozier had an abnormal EKG and was scheduled for additional tests. … John Axford, one of the few relievers with closing experience, is headed for the disabled list. Roberts said Axford had a slight fracture atop his right fibula. “He’ll be down a couple, two or three weeks,” Roberts said.UP NEXTGiants: LHP Andrew Suarez (4-8, 4.64 ERA) is scheduled to start Tuesday. The rookie will attempt to overcome a recent downturn that has seen him go 1-3 with a 7.43 ERA in his last five starts.Dodgers: LHP Alex Wood (7-6, 3.58) is scheduled to come off the disabled list and make his first start since leaving his Aug. 3 outing with a sore hip. Wood missed only one start.
