The Orioles have delayed posting their lineup until manager Dave Trembley meets with the players who are being assigned to the minor league camp. Brandon Snyder, Dennis Sarfate, Josh Bell, Rhyne Hughes, Jonathan Tucker and Pedro Florimon are six of the players headed to the other side. And more cuts are coming, but the clubhouse is closed to the media. "It's better than making that drive from Fort Lauderdale. That was a pain," Snyder said as he packed his uniform pants and other...

The Orioles just announced that David and John Stockstill are changing roles. As a result of the moves, which will be effective on April 5, David has been named director of international operations and John has been designated the director of player development. David will be in charge of the scouting in the Far East, Latin America and beyond. He'll also oversee player development in the Dominican Republic. "Both David and John are valued members of our staff, and we feel this change...

The dogfight continues for the last spot or two in the Orioles' bullpen. Matt Albers and Kam Mickolio each posted a scoreless inning yesterday, proving again that their bite is worse than their bark. Or something like that. Albers is out of options, so he'd have to pass through waivers before being sent down. He's going to make the decision especially difficult for manager Dave Trembley. Albers gets a lot of attention for his weight, but his ERA certainly looks lighter. He's allowed three...

In my continuing quest to bring you the latest sports news from around the globe - or at least parts of Florida - I spent about four hours last night with the Sarasota Roller Girls at a local establishment called "Beery's." I know, I know...like we haven't all done that before. They have a blog (who doesn't?) and also can be found on Facebook and MySpace. They also hip-check if you crowd them at the bar. They actually have their home bouts at Stardust Event Center across the street...

Matt Albers struck out Marcus Thames with two outs and a runner on first base to complete the Orioles' 8-0 victory over the Yankees. Albers allowed a leadoff single before getting the next three outs. Kam Mickolio also allowed a hit in a scoreless inning, and he struck out two batters. The dogfight continues. Matt Wieters, Adam Jones and Garrett Atkins each had two RBIs today. Atkins had one coming into the game. Please allow me to pass along manager Dave Trembley's post-game comments for...

Michael Aubrey singled while I was waiting to interview Brad Bergesen. Good for him. It's been a rough spring for the first baseman. Brad Bergesen is happy with today's start, but he's not satisfied. "There are a few things I still need to focus on and accomplish this spring training, but I felt that much more like myself today and I just need to continue to build on that," he said. "There were a couple mental mistakes I made today later in the inning, I think in the fifth, when I made...

Brad Bergesen left today's game to a loud ovation. Manager Dave Trembley shook his hand and patted his back at least four times. I lost track. I only count pitches, not pats. Bergesen blanked the Yankees on three hits in 5 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out two. Trembley brought in Alberto Castillo after Alex Rodriguez drew a two-out walk. Bergesen threw 76 pitches, 51 for strikes. I don't think we need to worry about his shoulder anymore. Heck, you can stop worrying about the...

Former Orioles Eddie Murray, Brady Anderson, Mike Boddicker and Ben McDonald will join the MASN broadcast booth for select games this season. They'll assist with the color commentary on a rotating basis. Anderson will provide television and radio analysis, and appear on the O's Xtra pre- and post-game shows on April 23-25 in Boston. Other dates will be announced. Each player will work nearly a dozen games. Perhaps you find it interesting that Boddicker was once traded to the Red Sox for...

Matt Wieters, batting .179 coming into the game, just lined a two-run double in left-center field in the third inning. Orioles 4, Yankees 0. Miguel Tejada and Nick Markakis singled before Wieters came to the plate. Adam Jones will take aim at the Yankees' bus again. Maybe he'll break some glass this time. Nope. Jones walked. Still no outs and left-hander Boone Logan taking the mound for the Yankees. Update: Luke Scott reached on Robinson Cano's throwing error, allowing a run to score....
