Former Orioles pitching coach and manager Ray Miller has been elected to the Orioles' Hall of Fame. Former catcher and manager Johnny Oates will be inducted posthumously as a selection of the Veteran's Committee. Longtime baseball operations employee Lenny Johnston will be enshrined as this year's Herb Armstrong Award winner. Five Orioles pitchers were 20-game-winners under Miller's tutelage - Mike Boddicker in 1984, Scott McGregor and Steve Stone in 1980, Mike Flanagan in 1979 and Jim...

I almost took a wrong turn at Uranus. I'm sitting in the press box at Roger Dean Stadium as the Marlins take infield practice. Still no sign of the Orioles, who are bringing two buses from Sarasota. One bus will head back to Sarasota later today with the players who aren't staying for tomorrow's game against the Cardinals. I'll post the lineup and pass along pre-game comments from manager Dave Trembley. I'll also provide updates on Jeremy Guthrie, who's making his fifth start this...

Brian Roberts is expected to take live batting practice today and tomorrow in Sarasota. "It would be nice to get him in a game at the end of the week, but I'll have to check with the medical people and see what he says," manager Dave Trembley said. Koji Uehara told pitching coach Rick Kranitz on Sunday morning that he doesn't need much more time to get ready for the opener. "He feels like his command is there, his arm speed is there," Trembley said. Uehara remains day-to-day with a...

Manager Dave Trembley believes that Nolan Reimold "looks better" running the bases. "He was never a real pretty runner. He was a max-effort type guy, but moved good, quick," Trembley said. "The other day when he got on, I would have pinch-run for him, but I needed to see him run the bases because I need to find out. You've got to let him run the bases. You can't pinch-run for him during the season. You don't have the luxury of doing that when you don't have a five-man bench, so...

Adam Jones just homered to right-center field on a 2-1 pitch to give the Orioles a quick 1-0 lead. Nolan Reimold flied to right before Jones stepped to the plate against Marlins starter Ricky Nolasco. Jones has three homers and five RBIs this spring. Nick Markakis followed with a single into center field. Update: Jeremy Guthrie retired the first two batters, getting a called third strike on Cameron Maybin, but he walked Hanley Ramirez and gave up a run-scoring single to Jorge Cantu....

Florida pitcher Ricky Nolasco singled with two outs to score Brett Hayes and give the Marlins a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the second inning. Once again, Guthrie got into trouble after retiring the first two batters, including a strikeout of Gaby Sanchez. Hayes doubled off the left field fence and Nolasco bounced a single into left field. Luke Scott

Hanley Ramirez singled with one out in the third and Jorge Cantu was hit by a pitch, but Jeremy Guthrie turned in his first scoreless inning today. Dan Uggla popped up and pinch-hitter Mike Stanton lined to left. Guthrie threw 12 pitches, eight for strikes, by my unofficial count. Nolan Reimold singled in the top of the third inning. He's heating u

Jeremy Guthrie came out of the game after five innings, with Cla Meredith replacing him. Guthrie threw 91 pitches, 56 for strikes. He allowed two runs and six hits, walked two, struck out four and hit a batter. The Marlins put runners on base every inning (nine total), but Guthrie blanked them over the last three. Guthrie's ERA has been lowered from 9.28 to 7.47. Marlins starter Ricky Nolasco allowed one run and six hits in six innings. He threw 70 pitches, 53 for strikes. Nolasco has...

Robert Andino came within a few feet of hitting a grand slam in the top of the ninth, but he made the final out in the Marlins' 5-2 victory. The ball died on the center field warning track. He gave it quite a ride. Luke Scott's RBI double drew the Orioles within three runs. Craig Tatum singled and Brandon Snyder walked to load the bases. Afterward, manager Dave Trembley confirmed that Brian Roberts took live batting practice from both sides of the plate and fielded ground balls. Head...
