Guthrie returns, but Rangers beat O's to take series finale

Guthrie returns, but Rangers beat O's to take series finale
Jeremy Guthrie returned to the mound for the first time since the O's season opener today. He pitched well, but it did not lead to a win. Texas takes two of three from the Orioles, winning 3-0 today behind Derek Holland in front of 21,452 at Camden Yards. The Orioles, who begin a series Tuesday in New York, fall to 6-3 while the Rangers are 8-1. The Orioles scored five runs over the first three innings Saturday in the first game of a doubleheader. But since that point, they have scored just...

Will Britton face the Yankees?

Will Britton face the Yankees?
The never-ending saga of the changing Orioles rotation will play out next in New York as the O's begin a series at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night. All the starters for that series are officially listed right now as TBA. Manager Buck Showalter said today that Chris Tillman will pitch either Tuesday or Wednesday. It could be that Brad Bergesen's time in the minors will be very short and he returns to pitch the other game. Bergesen was just sent out yesterday, but could return before 10 days...

Texas hold 'em (updated)

Texas hold 'em (updated)
The Orioles almost scored the tying run in the fifth inning. Then they didn't. Then they almost did again. They they didn't. John Russell held up his arms to hold Nick Markakis at third base on Derrek Lee's two-out double into the left-field corner. Markakis, his head down, initially ran through the stop sign, then slammed on the brakes and started back toward third. The relay throw skipped past Rangers catcher Yorvit Torrealba, causing Markakis to take a few strides toward home again. He...

The RISP stat

The RISP stat
The Orioles entered today with a team batting average of just .220, but they were batting .400 with runners in scoring position at 18-for-45 through eight games. You can't keep that pace up and they haven't. Today they are 0-for-2 with RISP and Mark Reynolds has been the guy up both times. Reynolds, after getting several clutch hits the last few days, today struck out with runners on first and third in the first. He then grounded out with second and third in the third. Keep in mind,...

Guthrie through three (updated)

Guthrie through three (updated)
Jeremy Guthrie has allowed one hit and walked a batter in three innings in his first start since April 1. His fastball is clocked at 91-92 mph. Adrian Beltre reached on Mark Reynolds' throwing error leading off the second. Ian Kinsler lined a single to center with two outs in the third and Michael Young walked on four pitches. Josh Hamilton followed with a long drive to right, but Nick Markakis made a nice grab against the fence to end the rally. Markakis didn't budge for a few seconds...

O's select contract of Jakubauskas, send Bergesen to Triple-A Norfolk
The Orioles today announced that they have selected the contract of right-hander Chris Jakubauskas and added him to the 40-man roster. To make room for Jakubauskas on the 25-man roster, they have optioned right-hander Brad Bergesen to Triple-A Norfolk. Jakubauskas appeared in five games for the Orioles in spring training, allowing no runs and four hits in 6.1 innings of work. In 36 career games over two major league seasons with the Seattle Mariners and Pittsburgh Pirates, Jakubauskas is 6-8...

Talking to Showalter

Talking to Showalter
Manager Buck Showalter took a seat in the interview room this morning, saw the recorders lined up in front of him and said, "I don't think anything's changed since three hours ago." Showalter advised us last night to "sleep fast." It's been a quick turnaround since Game 2. Here are some topics that Showalter covered while the Orioles and Rangers took batting practice: On waiting until tomorrow or early Tuesday to make a roster move: "We'll see how we get through today's games and...

Manny Machado gets off to a good start with Delmarva

Manny Machado gets off to a good start with Delmarva
O's top shortstop prospect Manny Machado has gotten his first full season of minor league baseball off to a good start. He is 3-for-7 through three games with Single-A Delmarva with a triple and three RBIs. He has already walked five times in the three games and has an OPS of 1.381. He served as the DH in Game Two of their twin bill last night. Delmarva is 2-1 with a 2.25 team ERA and will send Jacob Pettit to the mound today at home against Greensboro. Triple-A Norfolk was rained out last...

A few pregame notes

A few pregame notes
Brad Bergesen could be recalled to start one of the games in New York while shortstop J.J. Hardy goes on the disabled list. Bergesen wouldn't have to stay in the minors for the minimum 10 days if he's replacing an injured player. Chris Tillman will start Tuesday or Wednesday in New York. Bergesen could take the other turn. We definitely know that Jeremy Guthrie is starting today. The rest will be sorted out later. Manager Buck Showalter must decide between Zach Britton or Jake Arrieta for...

Matusz gets set to take the next step in Sarasota

Matusz gets set to take the next step in Sarasota
Brian Matusz said he is optimistic about his rehab process, which will continue starting tomorrow at the Orioles' spring home in Sarasota, Fla. Matusz went on the disabled list April 3, retroactive to March 30, with a strained left intercostal muscle. He said he has not had any pain for the last four days, yet he has not yet been cleared to throw or even play catch. Matusz is not sure when he might get back with the team and take the mound again. "I honestly don't know," he said. "I...

Monday Memory: Welcome home, Natty Boh!

Monday Memory: Welcome home, Natty Boh!
Judging solely by the number of people clamoring to have their photo taken with Mr. Boh on opening day, I'd say the return of National Bohemian - Natty Boh for short - to Camden Yards for the first time since 1992 is a toast-worthy occasion. So hoist your frosty, cold mug o' brew (and, for a moment, conveniently ignore that the beer once brewed on the shores of the Chesapeake, well, isn't any longer) and enjoy this 1960s television ad for what was once the official frothy libation of the...

No roster move today

No roster move today
Unless something changes abruptly, the Orioles won't make a roster move today. They're inclined to wait until tomorrow's off-day to place shortstop J.J. Hardy on the disabled list. Hardy is scheduled to undergo an MRI tomorrow after being diagnosed last night with a strained left oblique, an injury that routinely leads a player to the DL. The Orioles must decide on a corresponding roster move. It could involve a pitcher or backup catcher Craig Tatum. One reason why the Orioles don't...

Arrieta on his night: "When I did miss, they didn't."

Arrieta on his night: "When I did miss, they didn't."
After Zach Britton had pitched so well in Game 1, Jake Arrieta was hoping to build on that in Game 2 tonight. It started well for him as he retired the first six Rangers he faced over two innings. But he gave up six runs in the third and was knocked out in the fourth as Texas routed the O's, 13-1 in Game 2 of a doubleheader. Manager Buck Showalter questioned what he called certain sequencing of pitches Arrieta threw and the pitcher agreed with that in the O's clubhouse. "I think I fell...

Showalter quotes after Game 2 loss

Showalter quotes after Game 2 loss
Manager Buck Showalter started with the good - Game 1 starter Zach Britton. Make that the very good. "He was very good. That goes without saying," Showalter said. "I think he had five hitters on to lead off innings. Something like that. That's the beauty of the ground ball. We actually had a chance to turn another one behind him. He had good stuff. I thought his secondary stuff was good, too. Keep them off the velocity a little bit. (Matt) Wieters did a great job with him. They were...

Hardy talks about his injury

Hardy talks about his injury
J.J. Hardy is likely headed for the disabled list after leaving tonight's second game of the doubleheader in the third inning with a strained left oblique muscle. He missed Thursday's game with Detroit due to tightness on his left side near his rib cage. He felt good, he said, before the doubleheader. "Took some swings in the cage and felt like it was gone, it was nothing. First swing in the game and just kind of grabbed on me," he said. He batted in the bottom of the second of the...

Hardy likely headed to DL

Hardy likely headed to DL
Orioles manager Buck Showalter anticipates shortstop J.J. Hardy being placed on the disabled list with a strained left oblique. Hardy was clearly upset that the injury forced him out of tonight's game after two innings and likely will interrupt his first season with the Orioles. The pain appears to be coming more toward Hardy's back than his ribcage area. He's never suffered this type of injury in the past. J.J. Hardy talks about the pain he felt in his oblique muscle after his first at...

Rangers romp in Game 2 to split twin bill

Rangers romp in Game 2 to split twin bill
In a Game 2 matchup for the best record in the American League, the Orioles took an early lead but didn't score again in a 13-1 loss to Texas. The Birds were held to four hits. The clubs split the doubleheader leaving Texas with the top record in the league at 7-1 while the O's fall to 6-2. Jake Arrieta, who entered with a 1-1 record and 1.38 ERA in two career starts vs. Texas, got knocked out of this game in the 4th inning. Texas scored six runs in the 3rd and added two more in the 4th...

Another Britton fun-fact

Another Britton fun-fact
According to Elias, the last Orioles starting pitcher to allow one run or fewer in his first two major league appearances and go at least 13 2/3 innings was - drum roll, please - Tom Phoebus in September 1966. Phoebus allowed no runs over 18 innings. Zach Britton has surrendered only one run in 13 2/3. Again, I find myself drifting back to Game 1. I'd settle for 1966. Or any September. Just get me out of here.

Jakubauskas warms up again (and enters game)

Jakubauskas warms up again (and enters game)
It's looking less likely that Chris Jakubauskas will make tomorrow's start against the Rangers. He's warmed up twice tonight, which seems to signal that Jeremy Guthrie will take the ball tomorrow. About five hours ago, Guthrie tweeted the following: "Seen some varying 'reports' on when I am pitching next. For the record I have been told by the skip it is still undecided. Stay tuned." Manager Buck Showalter dropped some strong hints to reporters that Jakubauskas would start tomorrow...
