Pre-game notes from Bowie

Pre-game notes from Bowie
Checking in from Bowie where I'll get to watch the Baysox chase a playoff berth tonight as they host Altoona. It's the final regular season home game for Bowie, but they, of course, hope to be back here this year for the playoffs. The Baysox are trying to get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2008. Bowie is a ½ game back of second place Harrisburg for a playoff berth with five games left. "Harrisburg has been playing well, so we have our work cut out for...

Post-game notes and quotes

Post-game notes and quotes
Some final notes and quotes after Boston's comeback, 9-6 win over the Orioles. There are clubhouse comments from Jake Arrieta, Ty Wigginton and Nolan Reimold. Arrieta on facing Boston: "Those guys are similar to the Yankees where they see a lot of pitches, lot of veteran players that really work the counts. Felt like I was in a lot of deep counts. I felt like I did a good job at going 0-2 and getting ahead of some guys, but they fought their way back in some counts. "A basehit here...

Early lead vs. Lester evaporates as Sox rally to beat O's

Early lead vs. Lester evaporates as Sox rally to beat O's
On a night when the Orioles scored more runs vs. Jon Lester than they had in any of his previous 15 starts against them, they still could not beat him. After the Orioles had given up just three runs total during a four-game win streak, Boston stormed back with six in the 7th for a comeback, 9-6 win over the Orioles. Buck Showalter meets with the media after the O's 9-6 loss to the Red Sox Lester entered with a 12-0 record and career 2.00 ERA vs. Baltimore, but the O's scored four in the...

Bullpen meltdown

Bullpen meltdown
Well, the Orioles won't beat Jon Lester tonight. I don't think they ever will. After torching him for five early runs, they could not score any more off him and now, in the top of the seventh, the O's bullpen had a meltdown and now Boston has a 9-5 lead. Mark Hendrickson, who had not pitched since August 22nd, worked a scoreless sixth in relief of Jake Arrieta, but he gave up a two-run homer in the 7th to tie the game. After a walk, he was replaced by Alfredo Simon, who is still...

O's vs. Lester note

O's vs. Lester note
The Orioles scored five runs tonight on six hits in the first two innings vs. Jon Lester. He threw 57 pitches. Usually, that's about six innings worth for him vs. the Orioles. Until tonight, the Orioles had never scored this many runs in one game off Lester. His previous worst outing vs. Baltimore was on August 13, 2006 when they got four runs in five innings vs. Lester. That is the only previous time in 15 career starts vs. the O's that they had scored more than three runs off...

Minor League moves

Minor League moves
There have been a few transactions today on the O's farm. With the three callups from Norfolk now in Baltimore, the Tides today added Miguel Abreu, Buck Britton and Phillip Britton from Frederick. The Keys have added 18-year-old shortstop Jonathan Schoop from Bluefield, where he hit .316-2-16 in 39 games after batting .250-3-16 in 17 Gulf Coast League games. In his last four games with Bluefield, Schoop went 9 for 15 with two homers and 7 RBI. Schoop, from Curacao, played in the O's...

Once on the outside looking in, Andino is back with the Birds

Once on the outside looking in, Andino is back with the Birds
For a guy that was designated for assignment by the Orioles April 3rd, Robert Andino has had quite a season - still with the O's organization. Back in April, he cleared waivers and was out-righted to Triple-A. With Norfolk, the 26-year-old Andino hit .264-13-76 with 72 runs and 16 steals and he was batting .305 since the All-Star break. Now, he's gone from DFA'd and off the roster to back on the roster and the team, joining the club today as part of the September callups. "In this game...

Reimold returns

Reimold returns
He was considered a Rookie of the Year candidate late into last season. Nolan Reimold must have figured this year would go a lot differently for him than it has. But today, for the first time since May 11, he is back with the Orioles. "I didn't play well so I got sent down and then I kept not playing well, so I had to stay down there until I got it right. I've been swinging it well lately. I'm glad to get the callup and I'm excited to be back up here. "Of course, I thought there was...

Snyder: "It's an awesome, awesome moment."

Snyder: "It's an awesome, awesome moment."
Brandon Snyder has been pointing to this day for a long time. He's always wanted to play pro ball and dreamed of the day he'd be in the Major Leagues. Today he walked into the O's clubhouse and was on the O's roster for the first time after getting a September callup. "It's so surreal. Ever since I was five years old coming up with my grandfather watching games driving down 95. Coming in the clubhouse, I come here every off season to work out. It doesn't seem like I'm actually...

Quick O's Notes

Quick O's Notes
Brian Roberts and Jake Fox made an appearance at BWI Airport today, but don't worry, you didn't miss a chance to see this pair of Birds in person. The event wasn't open to the public, but Roberts and Fox participated in the Southwest Airlines "Trading Places" promotion today. The Orioles announced that B-Rob and Fox would be trying their hands at a variety of jobs carried out by Southwest employees at BWI. I don't have any further details to pass along, but if I get my hands on some,...

Thanking Bluefield

Thanking Bluefield
It's almost impossible to properly thank someone for a 53-year relationship. The O's did post a nice thank you in the Bluefield Daily Telegraph newspaper, as their tenure as the Bluefield Orioles parent club came to an end after last night's season-ending doubleheader. This picture by the way is of the last championship team there, the 2001 Bluefield Orioles.

Looking back at J.J., ahead to Lester

Looking back at J.J., ahead to Lester
Jim Johnson has made two appearances since coming off the disabled list, and they've been under drastically different circumstances. He entered a 5-0 game in the ninth inning, manager Buck Showalter's way of easing him back into major league competition. And he replaced Brian Matusz last night with the potential tying run on first base and no outs in the seventh. The easing process didn't take long. Johnson gave up a single before retiring the next three batters, striking out pinch-hitter...

August, glorious August

August, glorious August
It's September first. Really? Do we have to start a new month? Can you blame an O's fan for not wanting August to end? The Orioles are in first place in the AL East. No, not yet; not even Buck is that good. But they had the best record in the division in August. AL East standings for August: Balt......17-11 TB.......17-12 NYY.....16-13 Bost.....15-13 Tor.......15-13 These things also happened in August: *Buck Showalter took over as manager. *The O's went 17-10 under Buck and went 8-1...

Matusz masters Boston again

Matusz masters Boston again
Brian Matusz didn't face Boston last year. He's seen them four times this year and the Red Sox are still trying to figure him out. Tonight he gave up two runs and six hits over six innings plus one batter as the Orioles beat Boston 5-2 to start a three-game series. The O's improved to 8-1 in series-opening games under Buck Showalter. Brian Matusz talks about his outing following the O's 5-2 win over the Red Sox Matusz is now 2-0, 2.55 on the year vs. Boston.

Matusz with the win and Scott, Pie homer as O's top Boston

Matusz with the win and Scott, Pie homer as O's top Boston
The Orioles did not post another shutout, but they did post a pleasing victory over an AL East rival that was desperate for a win. Luke Scott hit his 26th homer, that's a new career high and Brian Matusz pitched well again vs. Boston as the Orioles beat the Red Sox 5-2 at Camden Yards Tuesday night in the opening game of a six-game homestand. Matusz improved to 7-12, 4.72 as he gave up two runs and six hits over six innings plus a batter. When he gave up a two-run homer in the fifth to Jed...

30 Rocked

30 Rocked
The Orioles scoreless streak, dating back to Brad Bergesen's first-inning balk at Anaheim Friday night, ended at 30 innings tonight when Jed Lowrie hit a two-run homer off Brian Matusz in the fifth inning. After 30 straight, Lowrie rocked one out to left as Matusz found too much of the middle of the plate on a 3-1 pitch. That cut the O's lead to 3-2 and was Lowrie's fourth homer. Matusz has fanned David Ortiz twice tonight and Big Papi is now 0 for 8 with 7 strikeouts vs. the...
