The O's farm report: A take from Baseball America's John Manuel

The O's farm report: A take from Baseball America's John Manuel
The Orioles minor leagues had a good year in 2017. That is the opinion of several national analysts I have spoken to in the last week. Starting today we'll roll out some of their opinions and comments on the O's farm from those interviews. It was a year where outfielder Austin Hays moved from Single-A Frederick to Double-A Bowie and then to the majors. He was a finalist for Baseball America's Player of the Year award. The Orioles had four players ranked among the top 20 prospects in the...

O's game blog: Gabriel Ynoa makes his fourth start for the O's

O's game blog: Gabriel Ynoa makes his fourth start for the O's
The Orioles have four games to play to wrap up the 2017 season. After a 10-1 loss at Pittsburgh last night, the Orioles play at PNC Park tonight to conclude a brief two-game series. Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen hit his first career grand slam Tuesday night and collected a career-high eight RBIs while going 4-for-4 with four runs scored. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, McCutchen became the third Pirates player since 1920 (when RBIs were first officially recorded) to record at least...

Gausman's interleague struggles, slow month of offense and more

Gausman's interleague struggles, slow month of offense and more
If it turns out as expected that last night was, in fact, Kevin Gausman's last start of 2017, he went out with a rough one. Gausman allowed Andrew McCutchen's grand slam in the second inning as Pittsburgh routed the Orioles 10-1 to start a two-game series Gausman allowed six runs over four innings and is 11-11 with a 4.81 ERA. Gausman needed to go 4 1/3 innings to set a new career high for innings pitched. He came up an out short. He has thrown 179 2/3 innings, the exact same number he had in...

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman has 3.09 ERA in second-half

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman has 3.09 ERA in second-half
Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman is having another strong second half. He'll try to finish off his strong pitching this half when he faces the Pirates in Pittsburgh tonight to start a two-game series. Gausman (11-10, 4.61 ERA) will make his 33rd start, which is a career-high. On Tuesday versus Boston he threw eight scoreless innings allowing just three singles on 106 pitches. He has given up one run over 15 innings his past two starts. After pitching to a 5.85 ERA before the All-Star game,...

Trumbo's take: Veteran opines on his season and more

Trumbo's take: Veteran opines on his season and more
Mark Trumbo will get deserved criticism for having a sub-par season. His power numbers fell off big time from his 2016 season. In a recent interview, Trumbo took the time to analyze his own season and look at some other aspects from his second season with the Orioles. Trumbo hit .256/.316/.533 last year with 27 doubles, a triple, 47 homers, 108 RBIs and an OPS of .850. He led the majors in homers. At the outset of free agency after the 2016 season, he declined a qualifying offer and hit free...

Honoring Hardy, Sisco's first start, Scott's second game and more

Honoring Hardy, Sisco's first start, Scott's second game and more
It is not often when a player gets a standing ovation that players in the dugouts join in. But that happened for Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy yesterday when he came to bat in the bottom of the first inning. It was a pretty special moment at Camden Yards. "I did notice that," Hardy said. "It was special. Those are guys that I played against for the last seven years. I have all the respect for all of them, and it was pretty cool to see them also clapping." The Orioles fans were very aware...

J.J. Hardy hits go-ahead homer as O's win home finale (with quotes)

J.J. Hardy hits go-ahead homer as O's win home finale (with quotes)
On a day that seems likely to be his final one playing as an Oriole at Camden Yards, shortstop J.J. Hardy hit a go-ahead homer as the Orioles beat the Tampa Bay Rays 9-4 to complete their home season. Hardy got a standing ovation, including applause from players on both teams, and waved to the crowd before he batted in the bottom of the first. Then he got a curtain call after his two-run homer in the fourth broke a 4-4 tie. Hardy hit a 3-2 slider from Chris Archer 400 feet for his first homer...

The official ending of a playoff run, plus more from minor league award winners

The official ending of a playoff run, plus more from minor league award winners
The Orioles' playoff hopes for 2017 were dashed a while ago. But it became official last night that they will not make the postseason. It had looked in the last few days like a losing season was in the offing for the Orioles. That became official last night as well. Double dagger. With their 9-6 loss to Tampa Bay, the Orioles are 74-82 with six games left. They are assured of their first losing season since 2011. With the team having lost 17 of their last 23 games, the Orioles are basically...

O's offense quiet until the ninth in loss to Rays (quotes added)
Right-hander Jeremy Hellickson gave the Orioles a quality start. But an offense that has been in a slumber for most of September was dormant again for most of tonight. The Orioles were held to five hits through eight innings and lost to Tampa Bay 9-6 in front of 42,802 at Camden Yards. The loss guarantees that the Orioles will have a losing season for the first time since 2011. They are 74-82 with six games to go. They were also officially eliminated from the American League wild card...

O's game blog : Hellickson on the mound against Tampa Bay
After winning 3-1 over Tampa Bay on Thursday and losing 8-3 last night, the Orioles host the Rays tonight in Game 3 of the final home series of the year. At 74-81 with seven games to play, the only thing standing between the Orioles and finishing this season with a losing record is one more loss. Anything short of a 7-0 finish will ensure that. The Orioles have lost seven of nine and 13 of 16. Since they won seven in a row to improve to three games over .500 on Aug. 30, they are...

O's game blog: Jiménez faces Cobb at Camden Yards
The Orioles ended a three-game losing streak and won for just the second time in eight games when they beat Tampa Bay 3-1 on Thursday night. The Orioles host the Rays tonight in the second game of a four-game series to end the home schedule for 2017. At 74-80, the Orioles need to go 7-1 or 8-0 the rest of the way for a .500 or better finish. They have lost 15 of 21 games and are 45-33 at home. The win last night improved the Orioles' record to just 16-54 when they score three runs or less....

Mancini talks Hays and Sisco, Ynoa impresses and prospect rankings

Mancini talks Hays and Sisco, Ynoa impresses and prospect rankings
Trey Mancini is a rookie that feels two other rookies on the Orioles are doing very well with their September call-ups. Mancini has played in 144 big league games. Austin Hays and Chance Sisco have played in a combined 18 games with the Orioles. Mancini got his September call-up last year and has gone where Hays and Sisco would like to go - he's become an everyday player for the Orioles. For now, the 25-year-old Mancini is pretty impressed with 22-year-old youngsters Hays and Sisco. Mancini...

Gabriel Ynoa pitches a gem as O's top Tampa Bay (quotes added)
Orioles right-hander Gabriel Ynoa was making just his sixth career major league start tonight and third with the Orioles. If this was any sort of audition for him to be a rotation candidate for 2018, he passed the test tonight. Ynoa allowed five hits over a career-high eight innings as the Orioles beat Tampa Bay 3-1 to start a four-game series. It is the final home series of the season. Ynoa was in control most of the night. From the third batter of the third inning through the first of the...

O's game blog: Gabriel Ynoa makes his third start
Right-hander Gabriel Ynoa (1-2, 4.18 ERA) will make his eighth appearance and third start for the Orioles as they open a four-game series tonight with the Tampa Bay Rays. It is the last home series of the 2017 season. Ynoa is getting a chance to show what he can do and maybe even get a jump on the competition for a 2018 rotation spot. His first start was at Cleveland and he went 4 2/3 innings, allowing seven hits and three runs on 77 pitches. In his last start at New York, he went 4 1/3 innings...

Tanner Scott talks about his major league debut

Tanner Scott talks about his major league debut
Orioles lefty pitching prospect Tanner Scott got a quick introduction to the big leagues in his major league debut last night. Pitching in the eighth inning against Boston, he faced first baseman Sam Travis to start his inning. Scott threw a 99 mph fastball for ball one. He threw another at 99 mph and Travis tried to check his swing. But bat met ball and it looped into right field for a base hit. Welcome to the show, kid. "I mean, right when Sam Travis hit that I was like, 'Wow, that is how...

O's latest loss featured frustration, a hit streak and an MLB debut

O's latest loss featured frustration, a hit streak and an MLB debut
There was frustration evident in the Orioles clubhouse last night as the team lost for the 15th time in 20 games. From the starting pitcher who provided a brief postgame interview to the closer who realized his 2017 season might be over. Six days after the shortest start of his career, one in which he allowed six runs, left-hander Wade Miley allowed six runs again. But this time he was around longer. Miley got one out and gave up six runs on 19 pitches Sept. 14 at New York. Last night he...

Chris Sale fans 13 and Boston completes sweep (with Britton update)

Chris Sale fans 13 and Boston completes sweep (with Britton update)
For a while, Orioles lefty Wade Miley was holding the Boston Red Sox at bay. He pitched out a bases-loaded jam in the third and had not allowed a hit to that point. Earlier this season, he held Boston to two runs in 12 innings over two starts. But that run of success quickly came to a stop as Boston homered twice in the fourth to lead 4-0. The Red Sox went on to a 9-0 win tonight behind Chris Sale to improve to 88-64, sweep the three-game series and restore their American League East lead to...
