O's Mike Elias talks offseason, 2020 rotation and more (Bowie wins)

O's Mike Elias talks offseason, 2020 rotation and more (Bowie wins)
When the offseason begins for the Orioles soon, they'll have a general manager in place to hit the ground running for the fall and winter. O's executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias was hired last year on Nov. 16. So he was not here as the offseason began after 2018 and had to play catch-up. That is not true this year. A few days ago Ben McDonald and I interviewed Elias on the pregame show on the Orioles Radio Network. Here are a few of the questions and answers. What are...

O's game blog: Out to end a losing streak

O's game blog: Out to end a losing streak
The Orioles' last win was in Game 1 of a doubleheader a week ago yesterday on the road against the Tampa Bay Rays by a 4-2 score. They have lost six in a row since. The last three of this streak, they've lost by a combined 26-11 score. In those three games the O's starters - Aaron Brooks, Asher Wojciechowski and Ty Blach - pitched a combined seven innings, allowing 21 hits and 17 runs (16 earned) along with three home runs. Meanwhile, O's batters have scored 11 runs over the past three...

For Hanser Alberto, low strikeouts led to high batting average

For Hanser Alberto, low strikeouts led to high batting average
As play begins in Major League Baseball tonight, the Orioles' Hanser Alberto ranks fourth in the American League and ninth in the major leagues with a batting average of .320. Not bad for a hitter that before this year had a total of 192 plate appearances spread over parts of three seasons with Texas and hit just .192. One reason that Alberto has hit for a high average is a low number of strikeouts. He never struck out more than 49 times in a year in the minors and this year has fanned just 43...

Bowie loses Game 1, O's loss streak reaches six

Bowie loses Game 1, O's loss streak reaches six
On the first night of the Eastern League Championship Series, the Double-A Bowie Baysox took a 2-0 lead three batters into the game. The Baysox had some early momentum. But then they failed to score the rest of the night and lost the series opener 6-2 at Trenton. The Thunder scored two in the third to tie it and one in the fifth to get the lead. A three-run Trenton sixth put the game away as Trenton took the lead in the best-of-five finals. In that inning, Kellin Deglan hit a two-run triple for...

O's fall behind big early as Dodgers win to clinch NL West (updated)

O's fall behind big early as Dodgers win to clinch NL West (updated)
The Orioles fell behind right-hander Walker Buehler and the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-0 tonight in the first inning. That was not going to be a formula to knock off the National League's winningest team and one of the league's best pitchers. Buehler allowed just four singles in seven scoreless innings as Los Angeles beat the Orioles 7-3 to open a three-game series at Oriole Park. The win also is the one that clinched a seventh straight NL West championship for the Dodgers (94-52). Los Angeles has...

O's game blog: O's open a series with the Los Angeles Dodgers
The soon-to-be National League West champion Los Angeles Dodgers (93-52) are in Baltimore tonight to begin a three-game interleague series. The Dodgers have a magic number of one to clinch their seventh straight NL West crown and officially advance to the playoffs. With a lead of 17 1/2 games over Arizona, it's been in the bag for a while and now it's about to become official with their next win or Diamondbacks loss. On the mound facing them tonight is lefty Ty Blach (1-2, 10.95 ERA). He is...

In pursuit of championship, Bowie has to go through MLB pitchers
The Double-A Bowie Baysox play at Trenton tonight at 7:00 p.m. in Game 1 of the best-of-five Eastern League Championship Series. Bowie is in the finals for the second time in the club's 27-year history, looking for its second title. The Baysox came from down 1-2 in games to beat Reading in Games 4 and 5 in 2015 to win its only Eastern League championship. That team included Trey Mancini, Chance Sisco and David Hess. Mychal Givens also pitched for Bowie that year, but only in the regular...

Can Hanser Alberto go from waiver claim to claiming a batting title?

Can Hanser Alberto go from waiver claim to claiming a batting title?
If we put our minds to it, we could probably come up with some storylines involving the 2019 Orioles that would produce some amazing scenarios. But a player claimed off waivers four times before the start of the 2019 season and then going on to win a batting title might top the list. Hanser Alberto ended the 2018 season with the Texas Rangers. Then he was claimed via waivers by the New York Yankees on Nov. 2, the Orioles on Jan. 11, the San Francisco Giants on Feb. 22 and the Orioles again on...

Dillon Tate pitching well out of O's 'pen (plus Bowie and Delmarva updates)
When Orioles right-handed reliever Dillon Tate took the ball in the ninth last night, he pitched for the first time in the majors against the team that drafted him. He faced the Texas Rangers, who selected him No. 4 overall in the 2015 draft out of California-Santa Barbara. Tate showed them some good stuff. He kept the Orioles down 7-6 with a scoreless 15-pitch inning with two strikeouts. He topped at 95 mph and got three swings and misses on three changeups. Acquired by the Orioles last July...

Trey Mancini remembers the 2015 Bowie Baysox champs
As Double-A Bowie and Single-A Delmarva began the minor league playoffs this week, the Orioles' Trey Mancini remembered one of the best years of his baseball life. Mancini was on the 2015 Bowie team that won the Eastern League championship. It remains to present day the only title in Baysox history and the last title won by an Orioles' affiliate. In the opening round, Bowie lost Game 1 to Altoona but won three straight to advance to face a prospect-laden Reading team for the title. Reading...
