(I had to rewrite this entry because it somehow got deleted from the system. I'm off to a good start). I made the trip back up I-95 this morning, resisting the urge to use the carpool lane, and arrived at Roger Dean Stadium in approximately 45 minutes. Not bad for rush hour, especially going through West Palm, where traffic usually comes to a screeching halt. The Orioles are back in Jupiter, this time to face the ballpark's other tenant, the St. Louis Cardinals. Brian Matusz will make his...

Knowing that you don't have to compete for a spot on the team gives you the luxury of working on other pitches in the early weeks of spring training. The results don't really matter. Keep that in mind when examining Kevin Millwood's line today. Millwood went to his changeup more than usual, and it's his fourth-best pitch. "If I can get it to be just a little bit better, it's only going to help," he said. "When I'm going fastball-changeup, it's going to be a hard day. But I got a...

Nolan Reimold went 0-for-2, grounding to short and hitting into a double play, before Michael Aubrey replaced him as the designated hitter. Aubrey singled in his second at-bat of the spring (he flied out last night). Ty Wigginton is 2-for-3 with a home run and a throwing error. Aubrey and Blake Davis have the only other hits for the Orioles. Cla Meredith tossed a scoreless fifth inning, striking out one. Brandon Erbe retired the first two batters he faced in the sixth, with a ground ball...

Nolan Reimold said he was seeing the ball well today. "Now I just have to hit it." Reimold isn't running at full speed, which was evident on his double-play grounder. "Normally, I would probably have beat that out, but I'm going to try to not hurt myself any more," he said. "If it was a regular-season game, I would probably have been full-go. I ran hard, but I didn't want to hurt anything. I wasn't going 100 percent. I'm still working my way up to 100 percent." A work in...

The Orioles scored four runs in the ninth, the first two on another Rhyne Hughes home run, but the Tigers posted a 9-5 victory in Lakeland. Jeff Salazar followed Hughes' blast with a single, and Craig Tatum and Pedro Florimon walked before the Tigers yanked reliever Jay Sborz. Ground balls by Matt Angle and Miguel Abreu produced two more runs, but Michael Aubrey lined to center for the final out. Here's manager Dave Trembley on Kevin Millwood: "Millwood made some good pitches and they got...

The Orioles have summoned infielder Ryan Adams from the minor league camp. He'll wear No. 96. If he gets into the game, he'll have to report as tackle-eligible. "It was actually a big surprise," said Adams, who batted .288 with 14 doubles, two homers and 25 RBIs in 59 games at Single-A Frederick last season. "They just pulled me off the field (yesterday) and told me they were sending me here. It was a pretty cool feeling." Adams is here because Brian Roberts still isn't ready to...

Justin Turner is moving gingerly through the clubhouse with his left foot wrapped after being hit by a Garrett Atkins line drive during batting practice before Friday night's game. Turner is hoping that he'll be cleared to play tomorrow. "It's getting better," he said. "It's still a little swollen. The swelling went down a little in my toes. Basically, I'll try to be as active as possible and keep all my muscles down there active so they don't quit on me. Hopefully play some catch...

For the Red Sox: Jacoby Ellsbury CF J.D. Drew RF Victor Martinez C David Ortiz DH Jeremy Hermida LF Jed Lowrie 3B Tug Hulett 2B Yamaico Navarro SS Aaron Bates 1B Clay Buchholz RHP Brad Bergesen completed another live batting practice session and is scheduled to start Wednesday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Bradenton. Mike Gonzalez is expected to pitch today for the Orioles, along with starter Jeremy Guthrie and relievers Mark Hendrickson, Kam Mickolio, David Hernandez and Will...

Jeremy Guthrie threw 18 pitches in the first inning, nine for strikes. Guthrie struck out leadoff hitter Jacoby Ellsbury and cleanup hitter David Ortiz. In between he retired J.D. Drew on a fly ball to the warning track in right and gave up a single to Victor Martinez. If you're watching the game, did you notice that Ortiz looks a lot thinner this spring? Former Orioles outfielder, Darnell McDonald, a first-round pick in 1997, is on the Red Sox's traveling squad. Update: Nick Markakis...
