Akin impresses, Mountcastle mashes in O's win (updated)

Akin impresses, Mountcastle mashes in O's win (updated)
The juggling act in the Orioles rotation has bounced Keegan Akin out of the majors, landed him in the bullpen and got him back into a starting role. He seems to be handling it with care. Akin twirled five scoreless innings tonight against the Indians, his only issue an opponent that also wasn't permitting any runs. Hunter Harvey replaced him in the sixth and was victimized by Harold Ramírez's RBI triple, but Ryan Mountcastle hit a two-run homer off Bryan Shaw in the seventh and the Orioles...

Notes on Armstrong, Harvey, Hays and more

Notes on Armstrong, Harvey, Hays and more
Orioles reliever Shawn Armstrong began the 2021 season on the paternity list, was transferred to the injured list in a procedural move caused by the intake process and spent two months unable to regain his effectiveness out of the bullpen. The next move for Armstrong could be joining a new organization. The Orioles designated Armstrong for assignment this afternoon while also recalling reliever Travis Lakins Sr. from Triple-A Norfolk, and claiming infielder Domingo Leyba on waivers from the...

Because You Asked - The Last Knight

Because You Asked - The Last Knight
What about this and what about that? Why is this taking so long, and will that ever happen? And where's Chris Davis? Oh, the questions never stop, which is why mailbags exists. They're also a popular filler for sportswriters - our version of breadcrumbs. Some might call it lazy. Those accusers are driven to another county and pushed out the door. And I'll go the extra mile to find a new movie sequel title. You ask 'em and I answer 'em, and then someone else asks the exact same thing and I...

Opener strategy works as Orioles win again 6-3 (updated)

Opener strategy works as Orioles win again 6-3 (updated)
Do two wins in a row constitute a streak? The debate rages on, but does so without any interest from the Orioles. They just want to keep the music blaring inside the clubhouse. Form the handshake line again. Feel a little better about themselves. Make the memories of the 14 losses in a row begin to fade like a tired starter. The Orioles didn't have one of those tonight. Matt Harvey provided more length than anticipated in his one-time role of opener, Rule 5 pick Tyler Wells followed with three...

Konner Wade grateful for second chance in Orioles system

Konner Wade grateful for second chance in Orioles system
No matter how much the surroundings and routine changed in spring training with baseball still working under COVID-related protocols, Konner Wade was overcome by a familiar feeling at Twin Lakes Park. Wade had walked those hallways before, dressed inside that clubhouse. And been told that the organization had no room for him. Four months after trading for him. There are aspects of his current situation that he hopes won't air as a rerun. Wade has been one of Triple-A Norfolk's best pitchers...

Notes on Lowther, the Harveys, Hays and Mullins
Pitching prospect Zac Lowther is going to be used tonight following starter Matt Harvey. Could be right away, could be later in the game. But he's getting the ball for the third time in the majors. The Orioles recalled Lowther this afternoon from Triple-A Norfolk, which was in Durham. "I'm not exactly sure when I'm going to use him. I'm going to kind of see how the game is playing out," manager Brandon Hyde said in his Zoom call with the media. "Harvey's excited about kind of opening...

Orioles recall Zac Lowther

Orioles recall Zac Lowther
The Orioles recalled left-hander Zac Lowther from Triple-A Norfolk this afternoon and he's available to work in bulk relief for tonight's series finale versus the Twins. Lowther has allowed seven runs and eight hits in two appearances with the Orioles spanning 3 1/3 innings. In three starts with Norfolk, he's surrendered nine earned runs (10 total) and 16 hits in 11 1/3 innings. He's walked seven batters and struck out 13. The Orioles get a fresh arm in Lowther, who last pitched on May 26...

A few leftovers from last night's streak-breaking win

A few leftovers from last night's streak-breaking win
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde exhaled last night, wrestled with the urge to be annoyed by the late-inning walks and tightrope acts and made himself enjoy the moment. He initially felt more relief than actual joy that a 14-game losing streak was over. But he made certain to soak in the reactions of his players. The laughter and high-fives, how they cranked up the music inside the clubhouse. A new month brought out emotions that had been packed away. The game was fun again. "Coming through the...

Orioles end losing streak at 14 games with 7-4 win (updated)

Orioles end losing streak at 14 games with 7-4 win (updated)
The count to 1988 can stop. No need to turn back the clock after the Orioles turned away the Twins. Local product Bruce Zimmermann played the role tonight of rookie stopper, Cedric Mullins did a little bit of everything, including twice scoring on Trey Mancini singles, and the Orioles snapped a 14-game losing streak with a 7-4 victory before an announced crowd of 5,337 at Camden Yards. Pedro Severino hit his second home run of the season and the Orioles won for the third time in 24 games. They...

Hyde: "Whether we're winning or losing, it consumes me"

Hyde: "Whether we're winning or losing, it consumes me"
Manager Brandon Hyde said reliever Hunter Harvey will throw one-plus or two full innings tonight with Triple-A Norfolk, which is playing in Durham, and the Orioles will decide whether he's ready to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list. "We're going to see how that goes," Hyde said on his Zoom call, "and reevaluate after his outing tonight." Harvey is making his fourth appearance on his rehab assignment. He's allowed three earned runs (five total) and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings....

Orioles release pitcher Josh Rogers

Orioles release pitcher Josh Rogers
The return for former closer Zack Britton is down to two players. Triple-A Norfolk left-hander Josh Rogers was released yesterday, at least putting on hold his comeback from a second elbow surgery. Rogers, 26, made four appearances with Norfolk, including two starts, and allowed 15 earned runs (17 total) and 24 hits in 17 1/3 innings. He walked three batters and struck out 14. Reports showed that his velocity was good. The arm is healthy again. He just didn't have the overall results to...

Quality start for Orioles can't stop losing streak (updated)

Quality start for Orioles can't stop losing streak (updated)
The best method for eliminating a streak usually isn't to pile another one on top of it. The Orioles began today with 13 losses in a row. They were 0-15 against the Twins since March 2018. Maybe they could kill two streaks with one starter. Or a solid outing from the bullpen. A clutch hit with runners in scoring position. Any trick to get back on track. Thirteen consecutive Orioles were retired by Twins starter José Berríos before Ryan Mountcastle hit a game-tying home run to center...

Hyde on Wynns: "He's an ultimate team guy"

Hyde on Wynns: "He's an ultimate team guy"
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde sat down with catcher Chance Sisco this morning and talked about the club's decision to option him to Triple-A Norfolk. The reasoning, the reassurances that it hadn't given up on him. What must be done in order to return. The Orioles selected Austin Wynns' contract from Triple-A Norfolk and sent down Sisco, who's batting .154/.247/.185 with no home runs and three RBIs in 73 plate appearances after going 3-for-30 in spring training. "Tough conversation this...

Orioles option Sisco to make room for Wynns (updated)

Orioles option Sisco to make room for Wynns (updated)
The Orioles selected the contract of catcher Austin Wynns this morning from Triple-A Norfolk, the anticipated move after he arrived in Baltimore last night, and optioned Chance Sisco to the Tides. Infielder Richie Martin was transferred to the 60-day injured list with a fractured left wrist to create room for Wynns on the 40-man roster. A shakeup at the catching position seemed to be coming with Sisco and Pedro Severino combining for below-average production at the plate and behind it. Sisco is...

Orioles evaluating players while trying to stop their losing streak

Orioles evaluating players while trying to stop their losing streak
As the Orioles tried unsuccessfully yesterday to close out their road trip with a victory and slam the brakes on a losing streak that grew to 13 games, unable to make the flight home a little more enjoyable, some of the organization's top pitching prospects were given starts at the upper levels of the farm system. Kyle Bradish was handed the ball at Triple-A Norfolk, with Dean Kremer and Zac Lowther on the mound for the next two games in Durham. Mike Baumann and DL Hall started for Double-A...

Wynns expected to join Orioles for upcoming homestand

Wynns expected to join Orioles for upcoming homestand
The Orioles are prepared to make a change with their catchers. Austin Wynns is in Baltimore, according to sources, and could be placed on the active roster for Monday afternoon's game against the Twins. Because he isn't on the 40-man roster, a corresponding move would be necessary. Wynns didn't play in the majors in 2020. He's a career .239/.271/.339 hitter in 70 games with the Orioles and has thrown out 10 of 36 runners attempting to steal. Among three catchers on Triple-A Norfolk's...

Late runs stretch Orioles' losing streak to 13 games (updated)

Late runs stretch Orioles' losing streak to 13 games (updated)
Keegan Akin blew a 92 mph fastball by Zack Collins today to end the second inning and shook his head on his way back to the dugout, the disgust as visible as his facial hair. A silent scolding for a pair of two-out walks. Knowing what's unacceptable to the rookie and the people evaluating him. A leadoff home run by sudden slugger Billy Hamilton in the bottom of the third also was frowned upon, another early lead vanishing before it could be celebrated. Akin gave the Orioles 4 2/3 innings in...
