Orioles lineup vs. Mets

Orioles lineup vs. Mets
Andrew Cashner makes his 23rd start of the season tonight as the Orioles begin a two-game series against the Mets at Camden Yards. Cashner has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last six starts and three or fewer in nine of 11. He's facing the Mets for the 10th time in his career, making only his fifth start. He's 0-3 with a 6.18 ERA and 1.590 WHIP in 27 2/3 innings. Todd Frazier is 5-for-13 with five doubles against Cashner. Left-hander Jason Vargas is scuffling in his first...

Duquette on Jones: "I respect the right that the player earned"

Duquette on Jones: "I respect the right that the player earned"
While Adam Jones continues his transition to playing right field for the Orioles, executive vice president Dan Duquette denies that the organization carries a feeling of animosity toward the five-time All-Star over his refusal to approve a trade. Jones stated in a podcast earlier this month, co-hosted by Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia, that he sensed it based on Duquette's remarks following a July 29 trade of reliever Brad Brach to the Braves for $250,000 in international signing bonus slot...

Leftovers for breakfast

Leftovers for breakfast
Cedric Mullins is aware of the comparisons to Al Bumbry. Manager Buck Showalter referred to Bumbry as the first "comp" that came to mind after watching Mullins. It's out there. It led me to wonder whether Mullins heard of the former Orioles center fielder. Bumbry is 71, Mullins 23. Bumbry was chosen as the American League's Rookie of the Year in 1973. Mullins was born on Oct. 1, 1994. Bumbry was part of the 1983 championship team. Mullins ... was born in 1994. I've made my point. I also...

Trumbo sidelined with sore right knee

Trumbo sidelined with sore right knee
Mark Trumbo is out of the Orioles lineup for the second consecutive game due to a sore right knee that might require an anti-inflammatory injection. Trumbo pinch-hit last night in Game 2 of the doubleheader and drew a walk in the eighth inning. Catcher Austin Wynns pinch-ran for him. He struck out three times in the opener. "Mark's knee's barking on him a little bit," said manager Buck Showalter. "I don't like some of the characteristics, so we're going to try to give him most of the...

Cobb vs. Sale in series finale

Cobb vs. Sale in series finale
The Orioles close out their four-game series against the Red Sox today by sending their hottest pitcher to the mound. Alex Cobb has gotten on a nice roll and it seems like no one is noticing. Fourteen losses have a way of sticking to a guy like no-pest strips. Cobb has strung together three consecutive quality starts with five earned runs allowed in 19 innings, and five in his last seven games. His ERA has gone down from 6.75 to a season-low 5.55, the improved feel for his split-changeup...

Orioles' bullpen falters again in Game 2 loss (with quotes)

Orioles' bullpen falters again in Game 2 loss (with quotes)
The Orioles can't win their division. They can't finish above .500. They can't seem to avoid weather-related delays. They can't slow down the Red Sox. There's always the task of avoiding a four-game sweep at home before jumping into the arms of another off-day. Yefry Ramírez followed his shortest career start last weekend in Texas with one of his finest tonight in Game 2 of a doubleheader. But he was capped off again at five innings and a tie transferred to the bullpen. Cody Carroll...

Orioles and Red Sox lineups and notes (tied 3-3)
Jace Peterson is starting at second base and Jonathan Villar has moved over to shortstop for Game 2 of today's doubleheader against the Red Sox. Villar is batting second behind Peterson. Manager Buck Showalter has made a few other tweaks to his lineup, including Trey Mancini starting at first base and Chris Davis serving as the designated hitter. Mancini is batting cleanup ahead of Davis, who struck out three times in Game 1. Cedric Mullins has moved up to seventh in the order after batting...

Orioles suffer shutout for 10th time in 5-0 loss in Game 1 (updated)

Orioles suffer shutout for 10th time in 5-0 loss in Game 1 (updated)
Because baseball tends to repel any form of logic, Jimmy Yacabonis joined the Orioles today as the 26th man and starter in Game 1 of a doubleheader after back-to-back duds with Triple-A Norfolk and plowed through a Red Sox lineup through four innings as if it were made of straw. Because baseball also can be incredibly fickle and elite teams have a tendency to counterpunch with steel gloves, the Red Sox mashed a couple of two-seam fastballs in the fifth inning, put three runs on the board and...

Orioles option Hart to make room for Gilmartin (O's down 4-0)
The Orioles optioned left-hander Donnie Hart to Triple-A Norfolk today to make roster room for southpaw reliever Sean Gilmartin, the former first-round pick whose contract was selected from the Tides. Gilmartin joins Tanner Scott and Paul Fry as lefties in an eight-man bullpen. Hart has registered a 5.79 ERA and 2.286 WHIP in 15 appearances this season. He's allowed nine earned runs (10 total) and 24 hits and walked eight batters in 14 innings. In 27 games with the Tides, Hart has allowed only...

Orioles selecting Gilmartin's contract
The Orioles are selecting the contract of left-hander Sean Gilmartin from Triple-A Norfolk and he's going to be in the bullpen for Game 1 of today's doubleheader against the Red Sox. The corresponding move could involve left-hander Donnie Hart, who last night allowed three inherited runners and three of his own to score in only one-third of an inning. He's been recalled eight times this season. Gilmartin, 28 signed a minor league deal on July 13 and has gone 2-0 with a 3.14 ERA in seven...

Adam Jones continues to play right field. Mark Trumbo has a 12-game hitting streak that ties his career high. He's 19-for-47 (.404) with five home runs, 14 RBIs and 11 runs scored. Tim...

Bumbry on Mullins: "He can run, he can field, he can throw"
The two biggest foolers in baseball tend to be spring training and September stats. What you see isn't necessarily what you get outside the confines of a small sample size. Manager Buck Showalter has issued the warning on multiple occasions. Not to keep picking on Jake Fox, but he was Babe Ruth in exhibition games. The media created an imaginary award in his honor. The plays that Cedric Mullins kept making in center field were real and didn't come with any warnings. The diving catches on...

Mullins' debut a bright spot in 19-12 loss (with quotes)

Mullins' debut a bright spot in 19-12 loss (with quotes)
As the Orioles ran onto the field tonight for the anthem at Camden Yards, Adam Jones found his mark and stood next to Trey Mancini with his back to the infield. Cedric Mullins trailed them, despite Jones' urging that he leave the dugout first, and stepped in between, finding his niche as the new center fielder. He wasn't too bad as the No. 9 hitter. Mullins lined an RBI double to right field off Nathan Eovaldi in his first major league at-bat in the second inning, bringing the Orioles'...

More on Mullins' arrival and outfield plans (O's down 14-10)
Orioles manager Buck Showalter expects to keep rookie Cedric Mullins in center field and Adam Jones in right beyond tonight's series opener against the Red Sox at Camden Yards. Showalter won't go back and forth unless circumstances force him to adjust the plan. "Adam will play right and Cedric will play center," Showalter said. "That's the way I perceive it. Something happens with Cedric, we'll see. If something happens with Adam. I hope nothing does. "Adam's playing right field today...

Cedric Mullins summoned to Camden Yards (updated)

Cedric Mullins summoned to Camden Yards (updated)
Outfielder Cedric Mullins is at Camden Yards today and the Orioles are expected to select his contract from Triple-A Norfolk in a roster move that's been anticipated for much of the summer. Mullins has missed the last three games with Triple-A Norfolk due to an illness. He's batting a combined .288/.346/.465 in 108 games with Double-A Bowie (49) and Norfolk (59). The Orioles promoted Mullins to Norfolk after he batted .313/.362/.512 with 12 doubles, five triples, six home runs and 28 RBIs...

Chris Davis on struggles, false theories and whether he'd quit

Chris Davis on struggles, false theories and whether he'd quit
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Chris Davis walked up the left field line at Tropicana Field before batting practice this week, found a box seat in the second row and joked about becoming the guy whose name was etched in a tiny gold plate. If only it were that simple for Davis to escape his own skin. He isn't looking for pity, which rarely comes to a man who's being paid $161 million to play a sport. But the chance to duck the spotlight and the steady flow of criticism was embraced beneath the...

Rickard makes another statement but Rays get last word (with quotes)

Rickard makes another statement but Rays get last word (with quotes)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - While the buzz continues surrounding Triple-A center fielder Cedric Mullins and his anticipated arrival in Baltimore, perhaps on the upcoming homestand, maybe as early as the weekend, Joey Rickard is fighting to hold onto his roster spot. He's gotten used to it, his minor league options always placing him on the bubble. But give him more games against the Rays and he'd become immovable. Plucked from Tampa Bay's organization in the 2015 Rule 5 draft, Rickard appears to...

Notes on Jones, Roberts, rotation and more (O's down 5-4)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Adam Jones is out of the Orioles' lineup tonight for the usual reason at Tropicana Field or Rogers Centre in Toronto. Manager Buck Showalter wanted to get Jones off the artificial surface and allow him to rest his legs. It's become a common practice. "We kind of talked about that long before we came in here," Showalter said. "We talked about it before we came here for the series. This is one of the places, really a lot of wear and tear on his legs here. "He'll be...
