SARASOTA, Fla. – The Orioles moved to the Ed Smith Stadium field this morning for popup drills, a day earlier than scheduled.

Crowd noise from Game 2 of the American League Division Series, when Delmon Young cleared the bases with a three-run double, was piped into the ballpark.

Infielders called off teammates to catch the ball as the noise level was raised. Outfielders chasing balls down the line were subjected to the same treatment.

The noise was so loud, the resident of a nearby house filed a complaint with the Orioles and threatened to call the police.

Pitchers threw live batting practice today, a group that included Ubaldo Jimenez, Tommy Hunter, Ryan Webb, T.J. McFarland, Dylan Bundy, Darren O’Day, Bud Norris, Zach Britton, Brad Brach and Mark Hendrickson.

Today brought a large media turnout to Orioles camp.
