Eveland going on paternity leave Tuesday

Eveland going on paternity leave Tuesday
The Orioles will place left-hander Dana Eveland on paternity leave Tuesday as he joins his wife, Ashley, for the birth of their second son in California. Under Major League Baseball rules, Eveland can be away from the team for three days. In his absence, the Orioles could choose to activate reliever Matt Lindstrom from the disabled list. Lindstrom is scheduled to pitch one inning today at Double-A Bowie before completing his injury-rehab assignment. He allowed three runs (one earned) and...

Putting the "O" back in "Orioles"

Putting the "O" back in "Orioles"
If the Orioles give up two runs in a game, it feels almost certain that they're going to lose. One run is dicey. Two runs are death. It shouldn't be that way, of course, but they've scored 15 in their last eight games. The fear of being shut out has been replaced by the nightly realization that they could be no-hit. Edwin Jackson retired the first 12 Orioles last night. Wei-Yin Chen gave up two earned runs and was toast. The Orioles went 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position last...

Showalter speaks after 3-1 loss

Showalter speaks after 3-1 loss
Wei-Yin Chen came out of tonight's game after five innings and 90 pitches because he cracked a nail on his left index finger while fielding a comebacker from Nationals catcher Jesus Flores in the fourth. Also, Showalter wanted to place a stricter limit on Chen's pitch count if he's going to make his next start Thursday on regular rest. Chen was charged with three runs (two earned) and six hits in five innings, tying his second-shortest outing of the season. "I think he pitched pretty...

Can't spell "Orioles" without an E (O's lose 3-1)

Can't spell "Orioles" without an E (O's lose 3-1)
The Orioles just committed their 63rd error of the season, most in the majors, and it led to an unearned run off Wei-Yin Chen. Chen gave up back-to-back singles to Michael Morse and Adam LaRoche leading off the top of the second inning. They moved up on Ian Desmond's grounder, but Chen struck out Tyler Moore. On the verge of escaping the jam, Chen induced a ground ball from Xavier Nady, who began the night hitting .150 with five RBIs. Third baseman Wilson Betemit ranged to his left to field...

Dontrelle Willis scratched, Bobby Bundy injured (Dylan Bundy deals)

Dontrelle Willis scratched, Bobby Bundy injured (Dylan Bundy deals)
Dontrelle Willis' debut as a starter with Triple-A Norfolk has been put on hold. Willis' role isn't changing again. He was scratched from tonight's start in Toledo because of a stomach virus. Willis was signed in spring training to be a left-handed relief specialist, but the Orioles agreed to let him go back to starting after he went on the disabled list with a sore forearm, and later left the Tides. The Orioles removed him from the restricted list and sent him to extended spring...

Duquette given green light to be aggressive

Duquette given green light to be aggressive
After years of being sellers at the non-waiver trade deadline, the Orioles are poised to move in the other direction. It's time to see how the other half lives. Executive vice president Dan Duquette spoke earlier today of the pitching depth in the organization that allowed the Orioles to bypass purchasing Jamie Moyer's contract, but he's not committed to staying in-house. And he's not simply looking to bring in minor leaguers in exchange for veterans, not with the Orioles 1 1/2 games...

More on Moyer from Showalter and Duquette

More on Moyer from Showalter and Duquette
Manager Buck Showalter is convinced that 49-year-old Jamie Moyer will be pitching for a major league team in the near future. It just won't be the Orioles. Moyer requested and was granted his release today. He had an opt-out clause in his contract after three starts with Triple-A Norfolk, and the Orioles weren't ready to make room for him in their rotation. Timing was one factor. The Orioles don't need a fifth starter until Saturday because they're off on Monday. However, they also...

A noteworthy morning

A noteworthy morning
The Orioles won their 40th game last night, moving them 10 games above .500 and 1 1/2 games behind the Yankees in the American League East. Last year, the Orioles didn't win their 40th until July 23. In 2010, they didn't win their 40th until Aug. 11. The Orioles hadn't collected their 40th win in June since 2008. With his two singles last night, Brian Roberts moved past Al Bumbry for seventh place on the Orioles' all-time multi-hits list with 388. Mark Reynolds is hitting .297 with...

Hammel dismisses importance of All-Star team

Hammel dismisses importance of All-Star team
Jason Hammel isn't wasting a lot of time and energy thinking about his chances of making the All-Star team. Not with the Orioles 1 1/2 games out of first place in the American League East. Not with a much bigger carrot dangling in front of him. "I honestly couldn't care less about that," he said. "I think we have something bigger going on here with the team. We're playing good ball right now. If that were to happen, that's awesome. There are other guys who are worthy, too, on this...

Showalter endorses Hammel for All-Star Game

Showalter endorses Hammel for All-Star Game
Orioles manager Buck Showalter filled out his All-Star ballot today. He also has a good relationship with Rangers manager Ron Washington, who will be in charge of the American League team. Maybe it will work in Jason Hammel's favor. Hammel continues to pitch like an All-Star. He hasn't allowed an earned run in his last 19 innings, and he improved to 8-2 with a 2.61 ERA tonight - the sixth-lowest ERA in the league. Should he be an All-Star? "I think he should be a strong...

Reynolds ends drought in rain (O's win 2-1)

Reynolds ends drought in rain (O's win 2-1)
Mark Reynolds was in a 1-for-15 slump, with no hits in his last 11 at-bats, before stepping to the plate for the first time tonight. One swing, and he felt right at home. Reynolds hit his sixth home run of the season to give the Orioles a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning. He admired it for a few seconds before heading to first base. A typical no-doubter to left field. Reynolds rarely hits a cheap one. The Orioles have four hits in three innings off Nationals starter Jordan...

Reimold talks about surgery (first-pitch 8 p.m., Lindstrom update)

Reimold talks about surgery (first-pitch 8 p.m., Lindstrom update)
After much deliberation and multiple consultations with specialists, Orioles outfielder Nolan Reimold decided to undergo surgery Monday morning at Johns Hopkins to remove a disk that's pressing on a nerve on his cervical spine and fuse the vertebrae. "The best thing to do as far as my career is definitely to get the surgery and get the pressure off the nerve that's being pushed on," Reimold said. "I contemplated back and forth a little bit, but it was pretty much a consensus among all...

Reimold will undergo surgery (updated)
Though the club hasn't made an announcement, outfielder Nolan Reimold has decided to undergo surgery to alleviate the pressure on a nerve caused by a herniated disk in his cervical spine. Manager Buck Showalter spoke with Reimold for about an hour yesterday. The club is letting Reimold determine how he wants to address the topic with the media. "We're leaving it in his hands," Showalter said. Showalter didn't confirm that surgery is imminent, but that's the plan. He also wouldn't...

Hammel and Chen trying to turn back clock to 1997

Hammel and Chen trying to turn back clock to 1997
The Orioles are listing Jason Hammel, Wei-Yin Chen and Jake Arrieta as the starters for the three-game series against the Nationals that begins tonight at Camden Yards - just in case there were any doubts about the alignment. According to Elias, if Hammel and Chen win this weekend, they would become the first Orioles duo to record eight wins each by June 23 since 1997: Jimmy Key (11), Scott Erickson (10) and Mike Mussina (eight). You remember what happened in '97. The Orioles are 9-3 at...

What Hammel's bringing to the table tonight (draft signings)

What Hammel's bringing to the table tonight (draft signings)
Jason Hammel gets another chance tonight to strengthen his case for inclusion on the American League's All-Star team. That's not his priority, of course. He won't be standing on the mound wondering if each baserunner allowed has ruined his chances. But he deserves serious consideration with a 7-2 record, 2.87 ERA and 77 strikeouts in 81 2/3 innings. Hammel has lost once since April 30 and is coming off his dazzling one-hit shutout in Atlanta, the second time in his last three starts that...

Britton better today at Norfolk (Machado and Schoop homer)

Britton better today at Norfolk (Machado and Schoop homer)
Left-hander Zach Britton turned in his finest start today at Triple-A Norfolk, holding Buffalo to two runs in six innings before Zach Phillips replaced him in the seventh. Britton allowed both runs in the second inning. He surrendered three hits, walked two, struck out five, threw a wild pitch and committed an error. He threw 90 pitches, 56 for strikes. Britton retired 12 of the final 13 batters he faced and allowed just five balls out of the infield. In his previous start, Britton allowed...

Decisions pending on Moyer and Reimold (and note)

Decisions pending on Moyer and Reimold (and note)
Left-hander Jamie Moyer made his third start for Triple-A Norfolk last night, throwing 77 pitches in four innings against Buffalo. Now the Orioles are on deck. Moyer can opt out of his contract if the Orioles don't select it from Norfolk and bring him back to the majors. As one team official said, it's "up or opt." Catchy. Moyer isn't listed among Norfolk's upcoming starters. Zach Britton starts today, followed by Chris Tillman on Friday, Dontrelle Willis on Saturday, Jason Berken on...
