Orioles put on clinic on how to lose a lead (O's lead 6-4)

Orioles put on clinic on how to lose a lead (O's lead 6-4)
BOSTON - The Orioles committed two errors and had one lapse in judgement in the fifth inning, and we're tied, 2-2, at Fenway Park. Mark Reynolds committed his eighth error of the season, and his second at first base, when he mishandled Daniel Nava's bouncer leading off the inning. Pitcher Jason Hammel was late covering first, but he never got the chance to find out how late. Mike Aviles squirted a single into left field, and Nava scored when Reynolds fielded Scott Podsednik's bunt and...

Jones with healthy at-bat in third, Wieters stays hot

Jones with healthy at-bat in third, Wieters stays hot
BOSTON - If Red Sox left-hander Jon Lester is going to remain unbeaten against the Orioles, his teammates will have to rally from a two-run deficit. Adam Jones and Matt Wieters had back-to-back singles with two outs in the third inning to give the Orioles a 2-0 lead. Endy Chavez, batting ninth, reached on an infield hit with one out, and Robert Andino reached on an error by shortstop Mike Aviles. J.J. Hardy flied out, but Jones and Wieters came through in the clutch. Both runs off Lester...

Updating Britton, Arrieta, Betemit, Markakis and more

Updating Britton, Arrieta, Betemit, Markakis and more
BOSTON - Orioles manager Buck Showalter needs a fifth starter on Saturday, but he still hasn't decided who will take the mound. It won't be left-hander Zach Britton, who starts tonight at Triple-A Norfolk. Britton would be working on short rest Saturday. Also, the Orioles want to keep him on the injury-rehab assignment and make sure he's ready to be activated. Showalter said Britton's return isn't "imminent." "He needs to continue to pitch well at the level he's pitching at to be...

Jones: "If there's nothing broke, I'm not missing no game" (McLouth signed)

Jones: "If there's nothing broke, I'm not missing no game" (McLouth signed)
BOSTON - Adam Jones said he could have played yesterday if the schedule allowed it, and he had no intention of sitting out tonight's game. Jones underwent MRIs on both hands and wrists in Sarasota that came back negative. "I'm not missing no game. If there's nothing broke, I'm not missing no game," Jones said. "I wasn't worried. Since we had an off day and we were down there and we've got our hand specialist down there, it was fitting to let them see everything. It was cool to stay...

Orioles make the most of an off-day (Delmonico note)

Orioles make the most of an off-day (Delmonico note)
BOSTON - Yesterday was a good day. The Orioles didn't lose a game or suffer an injury. Those open dates on the schedule can be a blessing. Adam Jones' MRIs in Sarasota came back negative. The left wrist and hand are fine except for the contusions. The right wrist and hand are fine except for the contusions. His ego might be bruised, too, because of the offense's struggles, but look for Jones to be in tonight's lineup. Nick Markakis was told yesterday that his right wrist is healing...

BOSTON - In the end, the Orioles couldn't resist the allure of a college pitcher. And they had their pick of the best ones. Despite strong interest in high school left-hander Max Fried and San Francisco right-hander Kyle Zimmer, and the unexpected availability of Stanford's Mark Appel, the Orioles chose LSU right-hander Dylan Bundy in 2011,

Hall outrighted again

Hall outrighted again
BOSTON - Bill Hall is an Oriole. Then he isn't. Then he is. Then he isn't. Where he stops, nobody knows. Well, we know that he's rejoining Triple-A Norfolk after clearing waivers today and again being outrighted. He'll meet up with the Tides in Rochester. Teams had until 1 p.m. today to put in a claim. The Orioles designated Hall for assignment on Saturday to make room on the 25- and 40-man rosters for first baseman/outfielder Steve Pearce, obtained from the Yankees for cash...

Jones recap and draft prediction (corrected)

Jones recap and draft prediction (corrected)
BOSTON - It's cold and raining in Boston today. I'm told it will be cold and raining for the rest of the week. Today might not be the last day off for the Orioles on this trip. In case you missed the Adam Jones update from earlier today, which is attached to a previous blog entry, MRIs taken on both hands and wrists came back negative. He's got contusions - or bruises, to you and me - and is expected to play tomorrow night if the weather allows it. Jones and Nick Markakis were examined by...

Everything needs to get better in Boston

Everything needs to get better in Boston
TAMPA - A three-city road trip for the Orioles has been filled with bumps and potholes and strange detours. They were swept in Toronto and lost two of three in St. Petersburg. They flew to Boston last night unsure whether center fielder Adam Jones would be in the lineup tomorrow night because of a sore right wrist. The rotation no longer can crank out quality starts and the offense is challenged to crank out more than a few runs. The Orioles have scored 20 runs in their last eight games, an...

Jones getting MRI on right wrist (MRI is negative)

Jones getting MRI on right wrist (MRI is negative)
TAMPA - Adam Jones got hit on the left wrist Wednesday in Toronto, but his right wrist is sore. It's been that kind of stretch for the Orioles, who can't keep anyone healthy or leave their roster untouched. Jones reportedly will get an MRI on the wrist tomorrow in Tampa before joining the Orioles in Boston for a three-game series that starts Tuesday night. Manager Buck Showalter said that Jones aggravated the wrist while sliding during today's game. Jones told reporters that the wrist has...

Arrieta tries to stay positive despite the negative results

Arrieta tries to stay positive despite the negative results
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Orioles pitcher Jake Arrieta vowed to continue working hard and not allow himself to get too down after a third straight poor outing resulted in his seventh loss. Asked what went wrong after retiring the first nine batters, Arrieta paused before saying, "Honestly, I'm not really sure. I was commanding the ball well. I wasn't able to get ahead of a few guys there in the fifth inning. They weren't hitting me. I was letting them on base for free. That's pretty...

Showalter discusses Arrieta's outing
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Manager Buck Showalter wouldn't promise that Jake Arrieta makes his next start, but he seemed to be leaning in that direction while meeting with reporters following today's 8-4 loss to the Rays. "We just got through this game here and we've got off-days," Showalter said. "We'll see what's best for Jake and the Baltimore Orioles, but that's the plan right now." Arrieta retired the first nine batters he faced, but walks proved to be his undoing. He issued...

The Two Jakes (O's lose 8-4; Is Jones hurt?)

The Two Jakes (O's lose 8-4; Is Jones hurt?)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Jake Arrieta retired the first nine batters he faced today, striking out three along the way. Then came the fourth inning, and a different set of results for Arrieta. Carlos Pena led off with a walk and B.J. Upton singled. We wouldn't have a historic day at Tropicana Field unless the Rays cracked 25,000 in attendance. Matt Joyce followed with a fly ball to center field to score Pena. Adam Jones sailed a throw over third baseman Steve Tolleson's head, allowing Upton...

Wieters gets it right with home run (and single)

Wieters gets it right with home run (and single)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Catcher Matt Wieters is heating up. Wieters has collected four hits in his last nine at-bats, including his ninth home run today leading off the top of the second inning. Wieters hadn't homered since May 13 against Tampa Bay's James Shields. He hadn't homered from the right side all season. It's going to be a process for Wieters to fatten up his average. He's 11-for-73 in his last 22 games, taking his average from .300 to .237. But it's slowly on the rise. Maybe...
