Showalter pregame on O'Day and the challenge of the Texas trip

Showalter pregame on O'Day and the challenge of the Texas trip
Orioles reliever Darren O'Day, on the disabled list since June 3 with a right hamstring strain, did some throwing on the field today at Camden Yards, but not yet on a mound. Manger Buck Showalter was asked if he has a timetable yet for O'Day's return. "We can see one developing," Showalter said. "You know he has played catch and thrown but today was the first day where he simulated his delivery on flat ground and felt good. That is a good sign. So hopefully we are headed that way, but...

Brach on Britton: "I knew a double play was coming" (plus 101-year-old fan's first pitch)

Brach on Britton: "I knew a double play was coming" (plus 101-year-old fan's first pitch)
About the time O's closer Zach Britton allowed a single and back-to-back walks to load the bases in the ninth inning yesterday, Brad Brach thought, 'What, me worry?' Brach has seen Britton pitch too well too many times to think this one would get away from one of the best closers in baseball. Seconds later, Brach was on the field shaking hands after Britton got Josh Donaldson to bounce into a game-ending double play and the Orioles had a much-needed 4-2 win over Toronto. "I knew a double...

Machado on dropping appeal of suspension (plus Gallardo quotes)
Orioles manager Buck Showalter announced after today's game that Manny Machado will drop his appeal of a four-game suspension and begin serving the ban tomorrow when the Orioles host Toronto. Minutes later in the O's clubhouse, Machado said he made the decision in consultation with team management. "First off, just trying to get this past us," Machado said. "It has been lingering for a while now. Me, Buck and Dan (Duquette), we all sat down and came up with a situation. Try to see what was...

Yovani Gallardo allows two runs over five innings, O's beat Jays

Yovani Gallardo allows two runs over five innings, O's beat Jays
Since the Toronto Blue Jays had scored 34 runs in their last three games against Orioles pitching, a starter holding them to two runs over five innings today was a step forward. Right-hander Yovani Gallardo returned to the O's rotation this afternoon for the first time since April 22 and held Toronto in check as the Orioles posted a 4-2 win to even the series at a victory each. The Orioles improved to 39-28, winning for the 11th time in their last 17 games. After being outscored 12-2 in the...

Notes on O's pitching, Yovani Gallardo and Michael Saunders

Notes on O's pitching, Yovani Gallardo and Michael Saunders
Captain Obvious said the Orioles need to start giving up fewer runs against the Toronto Blue Jays. They have allowed 10, 11 and 13 runs in their last three games against the Blue Jays. They actually almost won one of those games, losing 10-9 last Sunday at Rogers Centre. But the O's are 3-5 this year against the Blue Jays and they've allowed 52 runs in those games. Over those last three games, the Orioles have allowed 34 runs, 40 hits and 10 homers against Toronto. There has to be a concern...

Mike Wright on his poor outing, J.J. Hardy on returning to the Orioles (updated)

Mike Wright on his poor outing, J.J. Hardy on returning to the Orioles (updated)
It was a little over a year ago when Orioles right-hander Mike Wright pitched 14 1/3 scoreless innings over his first two big league starts. But his current struggles reached another low point tonight. He gave up a career-worst eight runs and six hits, including three homers, over just 3 2/3 innings. The team that has tormented him before did it again, as he took the loss in the Orioles' 13-3 defeat against Toronto. His last two starts have come against this team and Wright has allowed 12 runs...

Michael Saunders homers three times as Blue Jays rout Orioles
When the Orioles last saw the them - last weekend at Rogers Centre - the Toronto Blue Jays scored 11 runs Saturday and 10 runs on Sunday. The Blue Jays' pounding of O's pitching continued tonight at Camden Yards. Toronto scored seven runs in the fourth to open an 11-2 lead and went on to win 13-3 in the series opener. Toronto left fielder Michael Saunders has feasted on O's pitching this year. Tonight, he hit three-run homers in the first and fourth innings, and added a two-run homer in the...

Tyler Wilson pitches eight scoreless as O's take series in Boston
Right-hander Tyler Wilson pitched a huge game at Fenway Park for the Orioles tonight, leading the Birds past the Red Sox 5-1 and back alone in first place in the American League East.

O's starters had pitched just 10 1/3 innings the past three games. * The Orioles won the series at Fenway Park. * The O's end with a respectable 3-4 road trip to Toronto and Boston, rather than going 2-5. *...

Scott Coolbaugh talks about Machado (plus O's-Boston notes)

Scott Coolbaugh talks about Machado (plus O's-Boston notes)
If you thought Orioles infielder Manny Machado had a great year in 2015 - and he certainly did - take a look at his 2016 stats and see where they might him lead him by the end of this year. In 2015, Machado hit .286/.359/.502 with 30 doubles, a triple, 35 homers, 86 RBIs and an OPS of .861. It was a tremendous season. But his numbers are better this year across the board and his power numbers, projected out through 162 games, will blow by what he recorded last year. He is batting .302/.369/.597...

After losing the last three games in Toronto and giving up 21 runs the previous two games, the Orioles were looking for a well-pitched game last night. Enter Chris Tillman. Remember when we were discussing the strong possibility this winter that he could have a bounce-back season based on his track record? He's having it. Comparing two top AL pitchers:* Chris Tillman is 9-1 with a 2.87 ERA and 8.7 strikeouts/9 innings.* Chris Sale is 10-2 with a 2.87 ERA and 8.5 strikeouts/9 innings. The...
