Bergesen: "It was a no-hitter"

Bergesen: "It was a no-hitter"
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Brad Bergesen pretty much lost a start today. At least he's retained a sense of humor. Bergesen was able to joke with reporters a few minutes ago after returning from a local hospital, where X-rays taken on his right arm were negative. Denard Span's line drive nailed Bergesen on top of his right forearm, exactly halfway between his wrist and elbow. "It's obviously sore right now, but the good news is it's not broken," he said while standing inside the visiting...

Bergesen has bruised arm (with game and X-ray update)

Bergesen has bruised arm (with game and X-ray update)
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Brad Bergesen suffered a right forearm contusion after being struck by Denard Span's line drive in the bottom of the first inning. Bergesen was taken to a local hospital for X-rays, but the initial report is encouraging. The ball appeared to hit Bergesen on the top of his forearm near the elbow. The bad news for Bergesen, of course, is he can't turn in the quality start that he needed this afternoon. And it's not known when he'll be ready to throw again, even if the...

Bergesen hit on arm, leaves game (with game update)

Bergesen hit on arm, leaves game (with game update)
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Brad Bergesen had to leave today's game after four pitches when Denard Span's line drive crashed into his right arm. Bergesen jumped off the mound in obvious pain. The ball popped straight up in the air, and second baseman Robert Andino made the catch for the first out. Double-A trainer Pat Wesley raced out of the dugout, and Bergesen kept bending at the waist before walking off the mound. He appeared to have a welt on his forearm, just below his elbow. It was bad enough...

Quick hits

Quick hits
FORT MYERS, Fla. - We're almost ready for the anthem and the first pitch here at Hammond Stadium in sunny Fort Myers. Actually, it's starting so I have to stop typing. OK, I'm back. Justin Duchscherer had another successful bullpen session today and is slated to throw two innings Monday in a minor league game. "That's the best I've seen him throw," manager Buck Showalter said. "He had a good face when he was throwing. You could tell he felt good physically, so that's encouraging....

Bergesen needs to be brilliant

Bergesen needs to be brilliant
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Is this a big start for Brad Bergesen? Is Florida full of palm trees, geckos and strip malls? Bergesen hasn't been named to the starting rotation. We're only sure that Jeremy Guthrie is pitching in the April 1 opener and Brian Matusz will take the ball on the following night. Manager Buck Showalter hasn't officially named Jake Arrieta as the No. 4 starter, but he's come close enough that we know it's going to happen. We can read him like a book, which isn't nearly...

Final thoughts on O's 11-7 victory

Final thoughts on O's 11-7 victory
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Pirates scored the last two runs on Josh Rodriguez's homer off left-hander Mark Hendrickson in the ninth inning. Too little, too late. Orioles 11, Pirates 7. The Orioles didn't announce any more cuts tonight, but you can probably figure out which veterans have been informed that they're not going to make the team. Here are some postgame comments from manager Buck Showalter: On Jake Arrieta: "I was real happy with his tempo and his times to the plate from the...

Pat Egan talks about returning to the Orioles

Pat Egan talks about returning to the Orioles
When Pat Egan reported to Milwaukee Brewers camp in Tempe, Ariz., Thursday morning, he said he had a feeling it could be his last day with that organization. "I came in this morning and took a look at the travel roster and I wasn't on it and also I haven't thrown in a couple of days. I kind of had an eerie feeling that something was going to happen. Then I got the news," he said. Egan, taken by the Brewers in December's Rule 5 draft after he was left off the Orioles' 40-man roster, is...

Arrieta on his outing (updated)

Arrieta on his outing (updated)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Jake Arrieta said he got "in a zone" after the first inning today after starting out "real sloppy." "I threw a lot of good pitches to (Andrew) McCutchen," he said. "I missed the PFP there. That's the thing I'm most upset about because I proud myself on that kind of stuff. Then, I just left a couple of pitches up. (Lyle) Overbay drove the ball to left, the same thing to (Neil) Walker. I just couldn't execute pitches there. I've got to get the ball inside more to a...

Arrieta done after 5 1/3 (updated twice)

Arrieta done after 5 1/3 (updated twice)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Jake Arrieta has turned in the longest outing by an Orioles starter this spring against major league competition. And yes, the Pirates count. Arrieta appeared to run out of gas after retiring 14 of 15 batters. Neil Walker hit his second home run off Arrieta, and the next two batters walked. Arrieta threw 91 pitches, including 54 for strikes. Chris Jakabauskas replaced Arrieta and stranded two runners. Arrieta is charged with four runs and five hits, with three walks and...

A few updates (and more)

A few updates (and more)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Jake Arrieta has retired 13 of the last 14 batters, and the Orioles have given him a 5-3 lead in the fifth inning. Instant update: J.J. Hardy singled off reliever Evan Meek to increase the lead to 6-3. We're still in the fifth. Arrieta has blanked the Pirates on one hit since the first inning. He's thrown 70 pitches, 45 for strikes. See what happens when I challenge the young arms to produce better results? Felix Pie broke a 3-3 tie in the fifth inning with his first home...

Young starters need to crank it up (updated)

Young starters need to crank it up (updated)
SARASOTA, Fla. - We learned today that Jeremy Guthrie will start the April 1 opener and Brian Matusz will take the ball the following night. We also received a strong hint that Jake Arrieta will get the call for the first home game, making him the No. 4 starter. The rotation is coming into focus, but the young starters need to give a clearer indication that they're ready for the season and the responsibilities that go with it. Arrieta gave up back-to-back homers to Lyle Overbay and Neil...

Guthrie talks about OD start, Pirates lineup
SARASOTA, Fla. - Jeremy Guthrie will start the Orioles' regular-season opener for the third time in four years, an assignment that he calls "a big honor." "I think it's a manifestation of the confidence that Buck (Showalter) and the coaching staff have in me," he said. "I'm pleased to be out there. It's a great feeling to be out there with your team on the first game of the season, being out there battling and trying to start the season off on a good note. I'll be very excited to...

Showalter on a variety of topics

Showalter on a variety of topics
SARASOTA, Fla. - Pat Egan, claimed by the Brewers in the Rule 5 draft and returned to the Orioles today, will work out here and possibly pitch in a game. However, he's not part of the official camp roster and eventually will be sent to Triple-A Norfolk. Egan doesn't have to be included on the 40-man roster. "He'll be here in a day or two," manager Buck Showalter said. "He's going to be available to pitch. He's going to have a locker and a uniform and he'll be a just-in-case type...

Rosario, Egan trade places, Duchscherer pushed to April 21

Rosario, Egan trade places, Duchscherer pushed to April 21
SARASOTA, Fla. - Manager Buck Showalter just buried reporters with news during batting practice. It won't all fit into the headline on this blog entry. Rule 5 pick Adrian Rosario cleared waivers and returned to the Brewers. Pat Egan cleared waivers and returned to the Orioles. Egan worked 6 1/3 scoreless innings and recorded two saves this spring. Justin Duchscherer is projected to make his debut on April 21, which requires a stop on the disabled list. The Orioles will begin the season...

Rosario expected to be cut, Bell speaks

Rosario expected to be cut, Bell speaks
SARASOTA, Fla. - Rule 5 pick Adrian Rosario is expected to be included in today's cuts. He'll be placed on waivers, and another team can put in a claim and attempt to keep him on the major league roster. If Rosario clears as expected, the Orioles must offer him back to the Brewers for $25,000 or work out a trade. Rosario has a live arm, but he's raw. He allowed two runs and three hits, walked three batters and struck out one in two innings. Rosario's lone decision came in a loss to the...

Camden Yards to host championship of inaugural President's Cup tournament

Camden Yards to host championship of inaugural President's Cup tournament
Come Saturday April 16, Oriole Park at Camden Yards will play host to an intense, pressure-packed game with plenty on the line. Nope, the Yankees aren't in town to face the O's that weekend, and the Red Sox won't be setting up shop in the visitor's clubhouse, either. The players taking the field at Camden Yards that day will be members of two Baltimore city high schools, and they'll be duking it out for the championship of the inaugural President's Cup. This morning, flanked by...
