Chen exactly what the doctor ordered (O's win 6-5)

Chen exactly what the doctor ordered (O's win 6-5)
Orioles manager Buck Showalter needed Wei-Yin Chen to pitch deep into Game 1 of today's doubleheader. Chen didn't need to be told twice. We're in the bottom of the seventh inning, and Chen has held the potent Rangers' lineup to one run and four hits, with one walk and five strikeouts. His pitch count stood at 72 through the fourth, but he's at 98 after the seventh. Luis Ayala was warming in the seventh, but he stopped after Chen retired the side in order. The Rangers scored 70 runs...

Orioles string together three HRs in first inning (more information)

Orioles string together three HRs in first inning (more information)
Now that's the way to announce your presence in Game 1 of a doubleheader. The first three Orioles homered off Rangers starter Colby Lewis in the bottom of the first inning, bringing the sparse crowd to its feet and almost knocking Lewis to his knees. Rule 5 pick Ryan Flaherty hit his first major league home run on Lewis' second pitch, the ball clearing the out-of-town scoreboard in right field. J.J. Hardy followed with his eighth homer, and Nick Markakis followed with his fifth. The...

Orioles must make room for Eveland

Orioles must make room for Eveland
Dana Eveland will arrive in Baltimore later today and make tomorrow night's start against the Rays at Camden Yards. That much we know. In fact, we knew about it yesterday, but manager Buck Showalter confirmed it this afternoon and joked about how the reporters staring back at him already figured it out. Here's what we don't know: How the Orioles will make room for Eveland on the 25-man and 40-man rosters. That's a much more complicated mystery. The Orioles could open a spot on the 40-man...

Updates on Hammel, Chavez, Eveland, Britton and more

Updates on Hammel, Chavez, Eveland, Britton and more
Jason Hammel, who isn't making today's start because of a sore right knee, is tentatively scheduled to pitch Monday night against the Yankees at Camden Yards. Hammel could be pushed back one more day and start Tuesday. The Orioles will more strongly consider placing him on the disabled list if he remains unavailable. Manager Buck Showalter stressed that Hammel could have pitched today under different circumstances, but the club isn't taking any chances this early in the season. Endy...

Which Lewis will Orioles see?; Rangers lineup

Which Lewis will Orioles see?; Rangers lineup
Colby Lewis is off to a fast start for the Rangers, going 3-1 with a 2.97 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in six starts. He's walked five and struck out 31 in 39 1/3 innings. The Orioles might not recognize him in Game 1. That's because Lewis is 1-3 with a 5.53 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in six career appearances against them, including four starts. He's allowed 32 hits, walked 10 and struck out 16 in 27 2/3 innings. He's also served up five home runs. Mark Reynolds is 3-for-6 with two homers and five RBIs...

Who's left in left?

Who's left in left?
I'm going to test your memories, which might seem unfair at this early hour. Remember when the Orioles were set in left field? Nolan Reimold was going to be the regular and get enough at-bats for the Orioles to properly evaluate him. Endy Chavez was going to spell him - making sure to put the E before the I - and give the club good defense. That plan has been put on hold. Reimold is on the disabled list with a herniated disk in his neck. Chavez is expected to join him today with a sore...

Updating Chavez during rain delay

Updating Chavez during rain delay
The tarp's on the field, it's pouring rain and the forecast is dismal. We won't start on time. Endy Chavez continues to receive treatment for a sore intercostal muscle, and it's quite possible that he goes on the disabled list. "Last night before the game, he said it was the best he's felt, but the last at-bat he felt it a little bit," manager Buck Showalter said. Showalter never confirms whether a player is unavailable because he wants the opposing manager to think he's operating...

Hammel and Showalter talk about Hammel

Hammel and Showalter talk about Hammel
Orioles pitcher Jason Hammel is optimistic that he can avoid the disabled list if his next start is pushed back a few days. Hammel won't make tomorrow's scheduled start because of a sore right knee. An MRI didn't reveal any structural damage, but there's fluid in the knee that's required treatment. "Two or three starts, each start it's gotten progressively worse - more just fluid in my knee where it's stiff," Hammel said. "I can't really drive off my back leg. It was getting worse...

Tolleson headed here; Hammel will be skipped (Phillips optioned)
Another day at Camden Yards brings another batch of news. The Orioles are purchasing infielder Steve Tolleson's contract from Triple-A Norfolk and will announce the corresponding roster move once the reliever is told that he's being optioned. Manager Buck Showalter will speak to him during batting practice. Tolleson, who will wear No. 6, is expected to arrive at Camden Yards about an hour before the first pitch. This move is being made because Endy Chavez continues to be bothered by a sore...

Willis drops grievance against Orioles

Willis drops grievance against Orioles
Left-hander Dontrelle Willis has dropped his grievance against the Orioles and will report to extended spring training tomorrow, according to agent Matt Sosnick. Willis left Triple-A Norfolk and returned home with the assumption that he would be granted his release. Executive vice president Dan Duquette said the Orioles never made that promise and that Willis left without permission, leading to the grievance and some hard feelings on the pitcher's side. In case you need a reminder, here's...

More roster moves are coming

More roster moves are coming
No truth to the rumor that the Orioles are trying to trade for Cole Hamels so he can give Josh Hamilton a belated "welcome to the majors" moment later tonight. The Orioles' 25-man roster was stagnant long enough. Now we're seeing the ripples. Nolan Reimold goes on the disabled list. Luis Exposito is recalled. Tommy Hunter and Ronny Paulino are optioned. Jason Berken is recalled. Stu Pomeranz has his contract purchased. Berken is optioned. Zach Phillips is recalled. I'm pretty sure it...

Hearing from Hamilton, Arrieta and O'Day

Hearing from Hamilton, Arrieta and O'Day
Josh Hamilton had never hit three home runs in the same game before tonight, the thought crossing his mind after No. 2 cleared the fence. He had no idea what was coming next. Hamilton became the 16th player in major league history to hit four homers in the same game. "Obviously it's, other than being in the World Series, the highlight of my big league career," he said. "I was saying after I hit two that I've never hit three in a game before, and what a blessing that was. And then to...

Showalter speaks after 10-3 loss

Showalter speaks after 10-3 loss
Too much Josh Hamilton tonight. That pretty much sums up the Orioles' 10-3 loss to the Rangers before an announced 11,263 at Camden Yards. The Orioles outscored the Rangers, 3-2, without Hamilton's four home runs and eight RBIs. Maybe they've found a loophole. So ... too much Josh Hamilton? "Yep," manager Buck Showalter said. "We didn't score many runs, either. I think you've got to tip your hat to their pitching staff, too. We've obviously given up a lot of runs in a couple nights...

Stop pitching to Josh Hamilton (That's four home runs tonight!)

Stop pitching to Josh Hamilton (That's four home runs tonight!)
The Orioles tried to get back into tonight's game. Too bad they tried to pitch to Josh Hamilton again in the seventh inning. With his team trailing, 5-1, manager Buck Showalter removed Jake Arrieta and brought in left-hander Zach Phillips to pitch to Hamilton with one on and one out. Hamilton promptly launched his third home run of the night, giving him six RBIs and giving the Rangers a 7-1 lead. Left-handed batters were 2-for-20 against Phillips last season, but Hamilton must not have read...

Orioles fall behind in first inning (and it's worse in third)

Orioles fall behind in first inning (and it's worse in third)
Well, that didn't take long. Jake Arrieta, who tossed eight scoreless innings in his last start in New York, served up a two-run homer to Josh Hamilton in the top of the first. Rangers 2, Orioles 0. The big mistake was walking Elvis Andrus with one out. Hamilton followed with his 11th homer, the ball eluding Adam Jones' leaping attempt and clearing the center field fence. The Orioles stranded two runners in the bottom of the first, but they worked Rangers starter Neftali Feliz for 27...

Showalter talks about Tejada and Phillips

Showalter talks about Tejada and Phillips
Miguel Tejada signed his minor league deal with the Orioles today and served as the designated hitter in an extended spring training game. That's all I know. I'd pass along his stats if I had them. Manager Buck Showalter hasn't said much about Tejada, who contacted the Orioles seeking a tryout after being unable to land a major league deal. "You can talk to Dan (Duquette)," Showalter said. "I know Dan was dealing with Miguel and his agent. He told me about it over in Boston. I know...
