The date was April 29. That was the last time Manny Machado went to the disabled list.
Schoop has made 14 errors already, but has shown a strong arm.
As for Machado, who has not played since May 5 with a left knee injury, it now looks like the club is targeting late this month for his return to the diamond. That is longer than the original four-to-seven days the Orioles hoped for, but I am told there is no serious injury here or nothing new from the original diagnosis. The knee has just...
The Orioles will host approximately 20,000 youth at three special events during the homestand that starts today.

Getting his fourth at-bat in the seventh inning, Harper was intentionally walked and stranded at second.

The question on my mind - and a lot of fans' minds - is this: Can the Orioles finish at or above .500?
As we're close to the one-quarter mark of the 2011 (unofficially) season, there have been a lot of ups and downs with this team.
We all know the Orioles have struggled since the end of the 1990s and this year is centered with focusing on the development of the young arms, but also to some respect - wins, losses and being competitive.
As of May 18, there is some good and bad with the 2011...
The baseball world is mourning the death of Harmon Clayton Killebrew, who died Tuesday at the age of 74. As such, it would seem unfitting to blog about anything else this morning. The 13-time All-Star, 1969 American League Most Valuable Player and 1984 Hall of Fame inductee played 22 seasons in the majors, collecting 2,086 hits, 573 home runs and 1,584 RBIs.
"It's a sad day. We lost an icon. We lost Paul Bunyan," former Minnesota Twins star Kent Hrbek said Tuesday, speaking about...
HAGERSTOWN, Md. - I'm out in Hagerstown this afternoon, as the Suns will play two games today. The first game will be the conclusion of yesterday's suspended game. Kannapolis leads 2-1 heading to the bottom of the third.

Monday night in Boston, $16.5 million worth of relievers conspired to give up eight runs and blow a 6-run lead.
You would think that the Orioles would have learned by now. You can't fix your bullpen by spending big buck in free agency. And trying to do so has contributed a bunch to the 13 years of losing.
A look at some of the free agent relievers over the last 10 years:
