Manny Machado talks about decision to not start both games of doubleheader

Manny Machado talks about decision to not start both games of doubleheader
So Manny Machado has made his way back to the Orioles' active roster, but not the starting lineup quite yet. The Orioles decided it would not be the best move for him to play 18 innings today, so he'll start the second game of today's doubleheader against Pittsburgh. It's a move Machado had input into and agrees with. "I don't think it's a great idea if I go out and play two games on my first day," he said. "It's all right. Everything happens for a reason. I'm here and I'll be...

J.J. Hardy talks about the return of Manny Machado

J.J. Hardy talks about the return of Manny Machado
J.J. Hardy clearly knows how much Manny Machado means to the Orioles and what it means to have him back on the team. He is very aware he led the American League with 51 doubles last year and that he won both Gold and Platinum Gloves. He has a great view to watch Machado's amazing glove and arm at work at third base. But despite all that, Hardy said we should not expect Machado to play like the budding superstar that he is the minute he plays his first O's game in 2014 today against...

Getting to know you: Weeks familiar with several current teammates before trade

Getting to know you: Weeks familiar with several current teammates before trade
No truth to the rumor that the last time we saw the Orioles play, Brooks Robinson was at third and Boog Powell at first. It's been a while and finally, hopefully today the team gets back on the field. They'll host Pittsburgh at 4:05 p.m. in a single-admission doubleheader. The O's will have to make a roster move to activate Manny Machado and one of the infielders is likely to get optioned to the minors. Will it be Jemile Weeks? He just got here over the weekend and has done a nice job in...

A look at the handling of Kevin Gausman and Costas' MLB Network comment

A look at the handling of Kevin Gausman and Costas' MLB Network comment
Each time Kevin Gausman pitches and comes out of the game mid-game. the question follows from some fans: How come Gausman only threw 75 pitches?

Minor league notes on Rodriguez, Johnson, Sisco and more
Double-A Bowie left-handed pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez is progressing well from a sprained knee. He has been in Sarasota, Fla. the last four days and could potentially return to the Baysox within two weeks. "He's doing well," Orioles director of player development Brian Graham said this morning. "He's throwing and his knee is doing very well. It's just a matter of taking the time to make sure it's 100 percent. "He's going to have a throwing progression prior to coming back to Bowie....

In first full pro year, Dariel Alvarez is showing a well-rounded game at Bowie

In first full pro year, Dariel Alvarez is showing a well-rounded game at Bowie
Cuban outfielder Dariel Alvarez was signed by the Orioles in the middle of last summer. Now, less than a year later, and after just 44 minor league games, he is flashing some impressive tools and talents for Double-A Bowie and it has been showing up on the stat sheet as well. Going into last night's game, the 25-year-old right-handed hitter had four straight multi-hit games, going 11-for-20 with four doubles, a homer and six RBIs. Alvarez defected from the Cuban national team in January of...

Orioles offense has come up short far too often so far

Orioles offense has come up short far too often so far
Will the real Orioles offense please stand up? Just when it seems the team is scoring some runs and taking off on offense, they don't. The Orioles scored a combined 21 runs Wednesday and Thursday at Toronto. Then they got shut out by Kansas City on Friday night and scored six runs in three games over the weekend. The Orioles scored 10 runs on Wednesday and 11 on Thursday at Rogers Centre. It was the first time the Orioles have scored 10 or more runs in back-to-back games since Aug. 14-15, 2008...

Postgame clubhouse comments after O's loss to Kansas City

Postgame clubhouse comments after O's loss to Kansas City
Kansas City right-hander James Shields gave up just three hits over seven innings today as the Royals beat the Orioles 9-3. One was a two-run homer by Nelson Cruz in the sixth inning. But other than that, the O's didn't get much going against him today. "He is one of the toughest pitchers in the league," Cruz said. "His changeup is always working good. He had a good cutter today. He barely misses with his pitches and commands basically all of them. "He has two or three secondary pitches...

Infante's big day leads Kansas City past the O's in series finale

Infante's big day leads Kansas City past the O's in series finale
Omar Infante began today with just 11 RBIs this season, and he was only 1-for-8 in the first two games of this series. But the Kansas City second baseman had a huge day at the expense of the Orioles, driving in six runs as the Royals beat the O's 9-3 in front of 38,368 at Camden Yards. For the 10th time in 11 home games, the Orioles scored three or fewer runs. They've scored just 27 runs at the Yard this season. Infante had an RBI groundout in the first, a sac fly in the third, a two-run...

Pregame clubhouse chatter with Steve Clevenger, David Lough and Jemile Weeks

Pregame clubhouse chatter with Steve Clevenger, David Lough and Jemile Weeks
The Orioles will play today and for several days without first baseman Chris Davis, now that he has gone on the disabled list. The team has need a next-man-up philosophy this year, playing without Manny Machado to this point, with J.J. Hardy also missing some games. "We are still going to be a good team," catcher Steve Clevenger said. "He's our clean-up hitter, but I think we'll be all right until he gets back in the lineup. "We are playing well at one game over .500 and we are still...

O's offense has struggled at home, Machado spreads baseball wisdom in Frederick

O's offense has struggled at home, Machado spreads baseball wisdom in Frederick
After spending two days covering Manny Machado playing in Frederick, I'm heading back to cover the big leaguers at Camden Yards today. I hear it's the same game, but the ballparks are bigger and the players are paid a little better. The Orioles won in walk-off fashion last night when Nick Markakis plated the winning run with a single down the left field line with the bases loaded. There are probably not many players that could have hit the backdoor slider thrown to Markakis there the way he...

Manny Machado on his first two rehab games at Frederick

Manny Machado on his first two rehab games at Frederick
FREDERICK, Md. - Manny Machado's second game in Frederick did not produce the same excitement from his at-bats as the first did, but he's quite pleased with his two days so far at Single-A Frederick. Machado went 1-for-4 with a fourth-inning single today as the Keys lost 4-2 to Carolina. He is 4-for-8 in two Keys games. "Great day," he said. "Felt good to be out there playing in the field. Definitely, I got the work in. I got the ground balls, and it was overall a good day. I got some...

Frederick Keys game blog: Machado goes 1-for-4 in second rehab game
FREDERICK, Md. - Manny Machado is playing third base and batting second today for the Single-A Frederick Keys on the second day of his rehab assignment. Machado was modest when talking about how good his swing was last night when he went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a triple. He has to be pleased with that swing, right? "I guess. Not completely there. But (I) feel good at the plate, feel good overall, that is the most important thing," he said. Even though Machado is one of the youngest...

FREDERICK, Md. - Manny Machado's rehab assignment moves to another level today when he plays nine innings for the first time, something he didn't do during extended spring training games in Florida. He will also play the field at third today here in Frederick and bat second for the Keys in their 2 p.m. game against the Carolina Mudcats at Harry Grove Stadium. "I'm excited for it and looking forward to it," Machado said earlier outside the Keys' clubhouse. "It's the next step in the...

More on Machado in Frederick, updating Sisco and other notes
FREDERICK, Md. - So Manny Machado took a big step toward returning to the Orioles, while Chris Davis left last night's game after four innings with a strained left oblique. Just another Friday night with the Baltimore Orioles. If you would have seen the amount of rain that fell on Harry Grove Stadium late yesterday afternoon, you would have been surprised, maybe shocked, they were able to play baseball there by 8 p.m. The Keys staff did an amazing job getting that field ready to play and...

Manny Machado in Frederick: "Definitely an overall great day"
FREDERICK, Md. - After getting three extra-base hits in four at-bats tonight for Single-A Frederick, Manny Machado was quite pleased with his first rehab game. But despite coming up with two doubles, a triple and two runs scored and hitting all three balls hard, Machado did not pronounce himself ready for a quick return to the major leagues. "You know, this is something, if I would have hit four home runs I'm not going to go tomorrow to play in the big leagues," Machado said. "That's not...

FREDERICK, Md. - As the rain continues to fall steadily, it's looking more and more like Manny Machado's first rehab game with the Single-A Frederick Keys may have to wait another day. As of this hour, the tarp is still on the field, but the game has not yet been postponed. Machado took some ground balls at third base around 3 p.m. before the rains hit and can still handle himself at a press conference. He just held one with reporters here in one of the Keys' second-level suites at Harry...
