Roberts hopes to double up on records

Posted by GameSetMatch on 16th September 2009

Brian Roberts broke his own record in the Orioles’ 10-5 win over the Rays on Tuesday, and he’ll have his eyes on bigger game Wednesday and for the rest of the season. Baltimore’s second baseman set a new franchise record with his 52nd double of the year, and he’s just three away from tying the alltime mark for doubles by a switch-htter.


That record was set by Lance Berkman in 2001, and Roberts is also within striking distance of the all-time record for doubles by a second baseman. That one — 60 by Charlie Gehringer in 1936 — may be a little harder to reach. And for Roberts, it seems like everywhere he goes he finds people talking about the same topic.

Roberts makes history with 50th double

Posted by GameSetMatch on 10th September 2009

Brian Roberts carved out a bit of history for himself Wednesday night alongside three Hall of Famers.


Roberts doubled in the fifth inning of Wednesday’s 7-5 loss to the Red Sox at Fenway Park, collecting his 50th double of the season and becoming just the fourth player in Major League history to record 50 doubles in three or more campaigns. He joins Hall of Famers Tris Speaker, who accomplished the feat in five seasons, Paul Waner (three seasons) and Stan Musial (three seasons).

Roberts responds with his bat

Posted by GameSetMatch on 6th July 2009

Brian Roberts got the message. Baltimore manager Dave Trembley spoke frankly Sunday about a meeting he’d had with his second baseman earlier in the weekend, and then he watched as Roberts broke out. The switch-hitter bashed a home run in the first inning, and then he doubled in two runs and stole a base in the third.

Trembley had that talk with Roberts before Saturday’s game, but it didn’t have an immediate effect. Roberts and the Orioles played through an uninspired game Saturday night that featured several misplays, including an error by the second baseman on a fielder’s choice and a popup that fell between him and right fielder Nick Markakis.
