Zach Britton on the All-Star Game

Zach Britton on the All-Star Game
The Orioles won't have a starter named to the American League's All-Star team unless Adam Jones or Manny Machado make an incredible run over the next few days. Sort of like Forrest Gump without the long beard, short shorts and what I can only imagine was some hellacious body oder. Machado should be a shoo-in as one of the reserves, and I'd expect Jones to join him. It's mind-bending how Jones is more than 800,000 votes behind the Royals' Alex Rios, who's batting .211/.240/.263 in 31...

Buck Showalter speaks after 8-1 loss

Buck Showalter speaks after 8-1 loss
The Orioles, Rays and Blue Jays lost tonight. The American League East may avoid a major shakeup. Bud Norris tied his career high with four home runs allowed over six innings in an 8-1 loss to the Rangers before 21,565 at Camden Yards. A 15-game winner in 2014, Norris sliipped to 2-7 with a 6.79 ERA in 11 starts this season. "He made some mistakes with his breaking ball," said manager Buck Showalter. "Gave us six innings. It was a challenge, but kind of kept us from having to do too much in...

Showalter on Gausman, Schoop, Bundy and MacPhail (O's lose 8-1)

Showalter on Gausman, Schoop, Bundy and MacPhail (O's lose 8-1)
The Orioles made it through the day without a roster move, but there are a few pending that can't be ignored much longer. Kevin Gausman will be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to start Thursday night against the Rangers at Camden Yards. Second baseman Jonathan Schoop's injury rehab assignment runs through Friday. Also, manager Buck Showalter wants a seventh reliever in the bullpen and hinted that the club won't stay shorthanded through the week. One possibility would be optioning Gausman...

Orioles lineup vs. Rangers

Orioles lineup vs. Rangers
Adam Jones is back in the Orioles lineup tonight after sitting out Game 2 of last night's doubleheader. Nolan Reimold is in left field and Delmon Young is in right against Rangers left-hander Wandy Rodriguez. Chris Davis is serving as the designated hitter. The Orioles are 10-1 at home and 18-8 overall in June. The last time they posted 20 wins in a calendar month was September 1999 (20-8). Manny Machado is batting .419 (18-for-43) with five doubles, two home runs and 10 RBIs during a 10-game...

More roster talk, note on Wesley Wright and tonight's game

More roster talk, note on Wesley Wright and tonight's game
Do the Orioles activate second baseman Jonathan Schoop from the 60-day disabled list today or send him to Triple-A Norfolk to continue his injury rehab assignment? No, I really want to know. If you have the information, please pass it along. (I'm a day late in saying that I really want to gnome. Time to put that one to bed.) The Orioles will have to create room for Schoop on the 25- and 40-man rosters. They don't have any other players to transfer to the 60-day disabled list. Of course, a...

Buck Showalter speaks after an 8-0 win in Game 2

Buck Showalter speaks after an 8-0 win in Game 2
The Orioles have moved ahead of the Rays by percentage points for first place in the American League East, the result of winning 18 of their last 23 games, including a doubleheader sweep of the Indians at Camden Yards. The Orioles are seven games above .500 as they wait for the Rangers to arrive for the next series. Manager Buck Showalter doesn't make a daily check of the standings before the All-Star break. Still too soon. "It's a return for that (good play), but it can be very fleeting,"...

Orioles going for the sweep (O's win 8-0)

Orioles going for the sweep (O's win 8-0)
Consider it only a slight exaggeration when I say the line for fans to enter Camden Yards for Game 2 of the doubleheader wrapped around M&T Bank Stadium. Lots of interest in a hot baseball team - and a certain garden gnome. The Orioles are 7-0-1 in their last eight series. They're assured of registering their first season series win over the Indians since 2006. The Game 1 shutout was the Orioles' first against the Indians since July 2, 2005. Their last six shutouts vs. the Indians have...

Buck Showalter speaks after 4-0 win in Game 1
The Orioles officially recalled left-hander T.J. McFarland to serve as the 26th man in Game 2 of today's doubleheader. Chris Tillman is starting tonight and he's got a tough act to follow after Ubaldo Jimenez tossed eight shutout innings in a 4-0 victory in Game 1 before a sellout crowd of 45,675. The Orioles (40-34) have won 17 of their last 22 games and are a season-high six above .500. Jimenez tied his high for innings as an Oriole - it also happened on June 30, 2014 against the Rangers -...

Buck Showalter on Adam Jones and Chris Davis (O's win 4-0)

Buck Showalter on Adam Jones and Chris Davis (O's win 4-0)
The Orioles announced their signing of first-round pick DJ Stewart this afternoon. Stewart is reporting today to short-season Single-A Aberdeen. My guess is that vice president of baseball operations Brady Anderson will follow him there and talk about a conditioning program. Adam Jones fouled out to third base in his first at-bat since June 20 after Jimmy Paredes drew a one-out walk. Jones swung at the first pitch from Indians starter Trevor Bauer. Manager Buck Showalter was asked earlier today...

Notes on Jones, Gausman, Schoop and more (plus Indians lineup)

Notes on Jones, Gausman, Schoop and more (plus Indians lineup)
The Orioles are one regular-season win shy of 5,000 since the franchise moved to Baltimore in 1954. They have two chances today to reach the mark with a split-doubleheader against the Indians at Camden Yards. Manager Buck Showalter said he hasn't decided whether Adam Jones will play in Game 2. Jones is in center field for Game 1 after throwing three consecutive days without shoulder discomfort. Jones could stay in center field for Game 2, serve as the designated hitter or move to the...

Orioles hoping to cap off series with gnome win

Orioles hoping to cap off series with gnome win
We've got the Orioles vs. the Indians and the caps vs. the gnomes. Choose your sides. (I issued that same challenge to Sidney Ponson and he replied, "Mac and cheese and curley fries.") Two games and two giveaways at Camden Yards. It feels like Christmas without the tinsel and crippling debt. Adam Jones could return to the lineup today after throwing on back-to-back days to test his right shoulder. He must have felt good if he played catch again yesterday. He just needs to show up this...

More on Sunday's doubleheader (Gausman update)
Now that we've got the whole Buck Showalter gnome giveaway straightened out, let's go over a few more important details about Sunday's doubleheader at Camden Yards. The Orioles will start Ubaldo Jimenez in Game 1 and Chris Tillman in Game 2. They will add a reliever in Game 2 as the 26th man, giving them a full bullpen. Left-hander T.J. McFarland, optioned yesterday to Triple-A Norfolk, could come back to Baltimore. He's fluent in yo-yo. Kevin Gausman, no longer considered for the 26th man,...

Weather, the roster and tonight's game
The Orioles are giving away Buck Showalter garden gnomes tonight to the first 25,000 fans 15 and over who are wearing snorkels and flippers. Seriously though, we're supposed to get lots of rain. Keep your fingers crossed, unless you're using them to plug your nose. I'm going to practice parking my inflatable raft in the A Lot. Showalter doesn't sound enthused about the gnome and there's rain in the forecast. My suspicions were correct. He also controls the weather. If the game is played,...

Showalter speaks after 4-3 win

Showalter speaks after 4-3 win
Orioles manager Buck Showalter indicated tonight that the club could add a seventh reliever on Saturday if center fielder Adam Jones goes on the disabled list with a right shoulder injury. Earlier today, second baseman Jonathan Schoop was tabbed as the likely replacement for Jones if the Orioles made a roster move. However, left-hander T.J. McFarland could return one day after being optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. It may be a moot point, since Jones threw today and could be in Saturday's lineup...

Orioles option T.J. McFarland (O's win 4-3)

Orioles option T.J. McFarland (O's win 4-3)
The Orioles have decided to go with a short bullpen to create a roster spot for Wei-Yin Chen, optioning left-hander T.J. McFarland to Triple-A Norfolk before tonight's series opener against the Indians. McFarland appeared in one game after being recalled on Wednesday, allowing two runs in two innings yesterday in Boston. He threw 28 pitches. McFarland, 26, has gone 0-1 with a 3.18 ERA in three stints with the Orioles this season, allowing four earned runs in 11 1/3 innings. He's walked eight,...

Buck Showalter on pending roster move, Adam Jones and Jonathan Schoop

Buck Showalter on pending roster move, Adam Jones and Jonathan Schoop
The Orioles won't announce the corresponding roster move for left-hander Wei-Yin Chen until they complete batting practice. We're in a holding pattern. Executive vice president Dan Duquette has been working the phones today. He stood behind the batting cage this afternoon while the Orioles hit. Manager Buck Showalter isn't lamenting the roster crunch. "Hard roster moves mean you have good people," he said. "Sometimes, you reach a point where you can't keep them all and that's why the...
