Revisiting Jones' dropped ball in center field

Revisiting Jones' dropped ball in center field
NEW YORK - Adam Jones returned to his locker tonight, fully dressed and fully prepared to discuss his drop in center field in the seventh inning that cost the Orioles three runs in a 5-2 loss to the New York Yankees. "Missed it," he said. "Trust me. Wish I could do it again, but hey, I missed it." It was pointed out that somebody on the team thought Jones stepped on the edge of the warning track and momentarily lost his footing as he reached for Vernon Wells' fly ball with the bases...

Jones error allows three runs to score (NY turns triple play, O's lose 5-2)

Jones error allows three runs to score (NY turns triple play, O's lose 5-2)
NEW YORK - Adam Jones reached up to catch Vernon Wells' fly ball to the warning track in center field with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh. It landed in his glove - and popped out of it. All three Yankees runners scored, and we're no longer tied. Yankees 5, Orioles 2. The runs are unearned, and the Yankees collected all of them without a hit. A leadoff walk to Francisco Cervelli in the seventh ended Miguel Gonzalez's night. Left-hander Troy Patton retired the...

DH slot still not hot (O's trail 2-1)

DH slot still not hot (O's trail 2-1)
NEW YORK - Lots and lots of good seats remain for tonight's game, so if you're near Yankee Stadium, stop by and take in the ambiance. Steve Pearce stepped to the plate in the second inning with two runners on base and two outs in a scoreless game. He struck out. Pearce is 0-for-11 this season, and Orioles designated hitters are 1-for-31. Nolan Reimold has the only hit. Reimold singled tonight before Pearce batted, but he's starting in left field. Chris Davis also singled in the inning,...

Updates on Urrutia, Britton, Burnett and more

Updates on Urrutia, Britton, Burnett and more
NEW YORK - It looks like we'll have baseball tonight. Really, really cold baseball, but we'll have it. The Yankees aren't going to be quick with another postponement. The teams will stay here all night if necessary. Cuban outfielder Henry Urrutia served as the designated hitter today at extended spring training and will do it again on Saturday. He will take off Sunday and play right field Monday and Tuesday. Urrutia turned in the final paperwork necessary for him to join an affiliate, but...

Orioles claim Alex Burnett from Blue Jays (updated)

Orioles claim Alex Burnett from Blue Jays (updated)
NEW YORK - The Orioles just can't get enough minor league pitching. The club announced today that it claimed right-hander Alex Burnett off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk. To make room for Burnett on the 40-man roster, infielder Wilson Betemit has been transferred to the 60-day disabled list. Burnett, 25, is 3-4 with a 4.61 ERA in 174 major league games with the Minnesota Twins from 2010-12. In eight minor league seasons in the Twins and Blue Jays...

Rainy days and Fridays

Rainy days and Fridays
NEW YORK - Well, that was an interesting trip. It included an unscheduled stop because of a electrical wire on the track that eventually forced our train to back up - from Connecticut to about block from my Boston hotel - and a long wait in the cab line while rain fell and the temperature plummeted. Folks, it's cold and wet here. Not exactly baseball weather. It's hard to imagine a game being played tonight, but the Yankees will wait as long as it takes after two straight postponements....

Bringing on the Bronx

Bringing on the Bronx
BOSTON - The euphoria of winning another series at Fenway Park - and it's becoming the norm - quickly died down for the Orioles last night. No time to celebrate with the team boarding a flight to New York. It's on to the next city and the next set of obstacles. "We move on to another challenge in New York," said manager Buck Showalter. "A team that's playing well, and try to deal with the issues that teams face - weather, hostile environment. But our guys will be ready." The Yankees...

Hearing from Jones, Matusz, Tillman and Johnson

Hearing from Jones, Matusz, Tillman and Johnson
BOSTON - Adam Jones and Chris Davis were a combined 3-for-7 tonight with a double, home run, three RBIs, two walks and a run scored. In other words, their standard night. The duo is batting a combined .434 with seven homers and 29 RBIs. The rest of the team is batting .217 with four homers and 14 RBIs. "I think everyone thought we were going to go get a middle-of-the-lineup hitter," Jones said. "I'm glad what (Dan) Duquette and (Buck) Showalter did. They put it upon the in-house (guys)....

Showalter speaks after 3-2 win

Showalter speaks after 3-2 win
BOSTON - The Orioles have won five straight series at Fenway Park, 11 of the last 15 games and 21 of the last 30. The latest conquest became official when Jim Johnson retired Jacoby Ellsbury on a fly ball to left field to strand the potential tying run on first base. The bullpen was solid again tonight with 3 2/3 scoreless innings. Brian Matusz stranded two runners by striking out Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Stephen Drew in the sixth, one of the key moments of the game. Pedro Strop and Darren...

Jones with RBI against Uehara (O's win 3-2)

Jones with RBI against Uehara (O's win 3-2)
BOSTON - Adam Jones broke a 2-2 tie in the top of the seventh inning tonight, lining an RBI double to left field against former teammate Koji Uehara. Jones didn't wait long. Uehara replaced Andrew Miller with two on and two outs, and Jones swung at the first pitch. The result was Jones' second RBI and his 10th of the season. He's 2-for-4 tonight and 18-for-38 with five doubles on the season. Jones has six multi-hit games out of eight played by the Orioles. All the damage came with two...

Davis finds the seats again (Jones with RBI, Tillman done)

Davis finds the seats again (Jones with RBI, Tillman done)
BOSTON - Boston Red Sox starter Alfredo Aceves fell behind Chris Davis 3-0 in the top of the second inning tonight. At that point, it may have been a good idea to just bounce one in the dirt. Aceves challenged Davis with a 93-mph four-seam fastball and lost. Davis belted his sixth home run in nine games, the ball slamming into the seats in center field, to give the Orioles a 1-0 lead. Davis watched the flight of the ball for a brief moment before dropping his bat. It was never in...

Quick update on Roberts and other notes

Quick update on Roberts and other notes
BOSTON - Orioles manager Buck Showalter said second baseman Brian Roberts, on the disabled list since April 5 with a ruptured tendon behind his right knee, still hasn't been cleared to begin baseball activities. Roberts isn't walking with a limp, which is a good sign. However, Showalter said it would be a "challenge" for Roberts to be ready in two weeks since suffering the injury. Steve Johnson and Tsuyoshi Wada are still scheduled to pitch in an extended spring training game Saturday in...

Palmer recalls his Fenway Park home run

Palmer recalls his Fenway Park home run
BOSTON - Manny Machado's three-run homer in the ninth inning last night did more than break a 5-5 tie. It also put the young third baseman in select company in franchise history. Machado became only the second Oriole to homer at Fenway Park before his 21st birthday. The first may surprise you. According to Elias, pitcher Jim Palmer also homered at age 20, which led me to check out the box score on baseball-reference.com and place a call to the Hall of Famer. Palmer hit a two-run shot off...

Homers keep hurting Hunter

Homers keep hurting Hunter
BOSTON - You see the way Tommy Hunter can overpower hitters. He replaces starter Jake Arrieta after the rain delay last night and immediately strikes out Mike Napoli and Will Middlebrooks. You see the way Hunter can frustrate himself and a fan base that no longer has Kevin Gregg to kick around. He pumps fastballs at Daniel Nava and Jarrod Saltalamacchia and watches the two players circle the bases, their back-to-back home runs giving the Red Sox a 5-3 lead. All of it happened in the same...

Hearing from Arrieta, Flaherty and Machado
BOSTON - Orioles starter Jake Arrieta watched the ninth-inning rally tonight on one of the televisions in the visiting clubhouse at Fenway Park. "We were freaking out pretty good," he said. The Chris Davis leadoff homer. The two-out single by Ryan Flaherty. The back-to-back walks to Nolan Reimold and Nate McLouth. The wild pitch from Red Sox closer Joel Hanrahan that tied the game. The three-run homer by Manny Machado, his first of the season, that untied it. "It really didn't matter...

Showalter speaks following 8-5 win

Showalter speaks following 8-5 win
BOSTON - Orioles manager Buck Showalter spent about seven minutes with reporters following tonight's 8-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Here's a sampling: "Chris (Davis) gave us a little hope there, but our guys battled. A really nasty night to play. It's very easy to give in, but it was a battle and I'm real proud of them. Their bullpen is something. To be able to string together an inning like that... Jake (Arrieta) kept us in the game. A little frustrating for him. He had good stuff...

BOSTON - Orioles starter Jake Arrieta was removed from tonight's game against the Boston Red Sox after a 43-minute rain delay and replaced by Tommy Hunter, who struck out the first two batters in the bottom of the sixth. Then it went bad. Daniel Nava and Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit back-to-back home runs to give Boston a 5-3 lead. Nava lined a 96-mph fastball over the Green Monster. Saltalamacchia crushed a 95-mph fastball. Red Sox 5, Orioles 3. Hunter served up 32 home runs last season....

Note on Urrutia and game update (rain delay)

Note on Urrutia and game update (rain delay)
BOSTON - Cuban outfielder Henry Urrutia has been cleared to play this season. All of his paperwork has been submitted and approved. The Orioles must decide where to assign Urrutia, who remains at extended spring training. Part of the delay is due to a "leg issue," according to manager Buck Showalter. It sounds like a minor ailment, but it's preventing Urrutia from playing. The Orioles wanted Urrutia to play at Double-A Bowie last summer, but he was detained in Haiti while waiting for his...
