Injury and weather updates (with update)

Injury and weather updates (with update)
Center fielder Adam Jones is still experiencing discomfort in his chest when he swings a bat. He's feeling better after taking yesterday off, but manager Buck Showalter wants to give him an extra day of rest. A postponement tomorrow would give him more time to heal. First baseman Chris Davis, rehabbing his sore shoulder in Sarasota, was pain-free today while performing stretching exercises. He still hasn't done any baseball-related activities. Second baseman Brian Roberts participated in...

Orioles to honor Mike Flanagan

Orioles to honor Mike Flanagan
The Orioles have announced their plans to honor former pitcher, coach, executive and MASN broadcaster Mike Flanagan, who died Wednesday at age 59. Beginning with tonight's game against the Yankees, Orioles uniformed personnel will wear a black circular patch with "FLANNY" written in white on their right jersey sleeves for the remainder of the 2011 season. Also, a black banner with the No. "46" in orange will hang above the press box and below the television booth where Flanagan worked as...

This, that and the other

This, that and the other
I try to put Alfredo Simon in the bullpen and he holds the Twins to one run over eight innings. I try to put Jo-Jo Reyes in the bullpen and he holds the Twins to one run over six innings. That settles it. The Orioles should go with a 12-man rotation. Empty the bullpen. Everybody gets a start. Yankees manager Joe Girardi really wanted a doubleheader today. I feel terrible that he didn't get his way. How can we make it up to him? We still have more than a month left in the season, but you...

Pie expected to accept assignment to Norfolk (O's win 6-1)

Pie expected to accept assignment to Norfolk (O's win 6-1)
Orioles outfielder Felix Pie cleared waivers today and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk. And while Pie has the right to refuse the assignment, I'm told that he plans to accept it and report to the Tides. Pie would have to forfeit the remainder of the $985,000 salary he's receiving this year, which doesn't make much sense. Pie has to inform the Orioles of his decision by Saturday, but it appears that he's staying in the organization. The minor league seasons ends in a few weeks, so...

The games go on (Pie clears waivers)

The games go on (Pie clears waivers)
The Orioles are trying to conduct business as usual today. They're trying to complete their first-ever sweep of a four-game series in Minnesota. They're just trying to get through the day and head back to Baltimore. Today's MASN broadcast is more subdued than usual. Jim Hunter and Jim Palmer have referenced Mike Flanagan multiple times, though usually in relation to his work with a particular pitcher. The last time the Orioles won four straight games in Minnesota was April 15-September 5,...

More thoughts about Mike Flanagan (with Flanagan family statement)

More thoughts about Mike Flanagan (with Flanagan family statement)
The Orioles will play an afternoon game today and the lineup should be posted shortly, but it still doesn't feel like a normal day. Far from it. This team has won three games in a row, has finally won a series, and it seems so insignificant. The news of Mike Flanagan's death knocked the wind out of us. Trying to make sense of it is a futile exercise. It wasn't until late last night that I realized Flanagan was the first major league player that I interviewed for a game story. I was...

No. 46

No. 46
Nothing that happened on Target Field tonight seems important after the news that former Orioles pitcher, coach, executive and broadcaster Mike Flanagan died at age 59, but I wanted to post the final score while desperately trying to grasp the slightest feeling of normalcy on a night of tragedy and heartache. The Orioles defeated the Twins 6-1 to gain their first series win since June 24-26 and their first road series win in three months. Jeremy Guthrie held the Twins to one run and five hits...

Tragic news regarding Mike Flanagan

Tragic news regarding Mike Flanagan
The Orioles have confirmed that the body of former Orioles pitcher Mike Flanagan was found tonight on a trail leading to a barn on his Sparks property. He was 59. Flanagan returned to the MASN broadcast booth last season, but he'll always be remembered as one of the greatest pitchers in Orioles history. He compiled a 167-143 record and 3.90 ERA in 18 seasons with the Orioles and Blue Jays, and won the Cy Young Award in 1979 after going 23-9 with a 3.08 ERA. He also was the last Oriole to...

Adam Jones is batting third and playing center field tonight after leaving last night's game in the second inning and being transported to a local hospital with shortness of breath and mild chest pains.

Hardy SS Nick Markakis RF Adam Jones CF Vladimir Guerrero DH Matt Wieters C Mark Reynolds 1B Robert Andino 3B Nolan Reimold LF Ryan Adams 2B Jeremy Guthrie RHP Andino is batting .333 (12-for-36) during a career-high...

This, that and the other
Adam Jones was released from the hospital early this morning and tweeted the following: "Back from hospital. Wasn't as serious as it sounded. Glad everything is in order. Appreciate the support and well wishes. Back at it mañana." I'm just disappointed that he wasn't tweeting from the ambulance. We'll find out tomorrow whether Felix Pie cleared waivers and is willing to accept an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk. Pie can choose to become a free agent. The...

Quick Adam Jones update (and more)

Quick Adam Jones update (and more)
Orioles manager Buck Showalter, interviewed on MASN2 after tonight's 8-1 win over the Twins, said center fielder Adam Jones left the game in the second inning because he felt weak. Doctors couldn't find a specific cause, and Jones was sent to a local hospital for more tests. It's not known whether he'll stay overnight. It doesn't sound too serious, but any trip to the hospital is cause for at least a little concern. Hopefully, Jones will tweet an update on his condition later...

Simon simply sensational (O's win 8-1)

Simon simply sensational (O's win 8-1)
Just when I'm convinced that Alfredo Simon should be used as a power arm in the bullpen, he turns in a start like this one. Simon has held the Twins to one run and three hits over seven innings, his only mistake resulting in Danny Valencia's homer in the third. He's walked one and struck out seven. Simon is nearing the end. He's thrown 103 pitches 68 for strikes. In his last three starts, Simon had allowed 16 runs (13 earned) and 29 hits over 15 2/3 innings, with five walks and four home...

Jones leaves game with illness (O's lead 8-1)

Jones leaves game with illness (O's lead 8-1)
Matt Angle pinch-hit for Adam Jones with two outs in the top of the second inning and struck out. I know the Orioles like Angle, but that's a pretty big responsibility. Batting for the likely Most Valuable Oriole in the second inning? Actually, the Orioles announced that Jones exited because of an illness. Though the Orioles recalled Angle today, Nolan Reimold figures to get most of the starts in left field as the club continues to evaluate him. But just in case...it's not a bad idea to...

A little more on Pie, plus Berken and the doubleheader

A little more on Pie, plus Berken and the doubleheader
The Orioles are hoping that Felix Pie clears waivers and accepts an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk. Manager Buck Showalter just met with reporters before tonight's game in Minnesota. He talked about the risk of designating Pie for assignment. "The bad side of that is somebody could pick him up or he could become a free agent," Showalter said. "But we got to a point where if he can't get at-bats and get back to being what he's capable of being, it wasn't going to work out for...

Pie DFA, Orioles and Twins lineups

Pie DFA, Orioles and Twins lineups
The Orioles continued their roster shakeup by designating outfielder Felix Pie for assignment and recalling outfielder Matt Angle from Triple-A Norfolk. Pie has played only once since Aug. 13 and he had a rough day in left field during Sunday's game in Anaheim, losing one ball in the sun and failing to track down two others hit to the fence. He's batting .220 in 85 games. Angle is batting .272 with 13 doubles, three triples, four homers, 33 RBIs and 27 stolen bases in 107 games with...

Case closed with Gregg? (with Fox update)

Case closed with Gregg? (with Fox update)
If we can believe Facebook, Jake Fox is replacing Blake Davis on the 25-man roster. Here's what he posted on his page: "I got the call today. I am headed back to be an Oriole in the morning. I have mixed feelings about going back because I was really looking forward to playing for team USA. Going back to the big leagues takes away my eligibility from playing in the world cup and pan am games. I am excited to be back in the big leagues, but disappointed I will miss the opportunity to...
