Can Scott Feldman pitch for the Orioles like he did for the Cubs this year? (Seabrooke update)

Can Scott Feldman pitch for the Orioles like he did for the Cubs this year? (Seabrooke update)
It is a big if, but if Scott Feldman pitches for the Orioles at the same level that he pitched for the Cubs this season, he could become one of the best starting pitchers on the O's staff. Here is where he ranks this year against the other O's starters in 2013. WHIP: 1.14 - Scott Feldman 1.19 - Miguel Gonzalez 1.20 - Wei-Yin Chen 1.30 - Chris Tillman 1.40 - Jason Hammel 1.73 - Zach Britton Innings per start: 6.3 - Gonzalez 6.1 - Feldman 5.9 - Chen, Hammel, Tillman 5.5 - Britton Feldman...

As deadline approaches, O's still hope to sign a few more draft picks

As deadline approaches, O's still hope to sign a few more draft picks
Even though they have signed 14 of their first 15 and 18 of their first 21 draft picks, the Orioles are still trying to get a few more signed between now and the July 12 deadline to sign this year's picks. The most recent selection to agree to terms was right-handed pitcher Jon Keller, taken in round 22 out of the University of Tampa. He pitched for the University of Nebraska for his first two seasons. The Orioles' only remaining unsigned top 10 round pick is Drew Dosch, a third baseman...

A take on Hammel's homers and Feldman's addition

A take on Hammel's homers and Feldman's addition
For whatever reason, it seems Jason Hammel is not getting the consistent sink on his fastball that he got last year for the Orioles. He had the best homer ratio of his career last season and now he has the worst. He gave up just nine homers in 118 innings in 2012 and he has given up 18 in 100 2/3 in 2013. He has gone from 0.7 homers allowed every nine innings to 1.6 homers every nine innings. As an aside, Chris Tillman has also given up 18 homers, so you can give up the longball and still...

Hammel takes the loss as White Sox beat Orioles in series opener

Hammel takes the loss as White Sox beat Orioles in series opener
On the day the Orioles added a pitcher, they needed more from their bats at Chicago. The Orioles were held to eight hits in a 5-2 loss to the White Sox in the opener of a six-game road trip. Winning pitcher John Danks gave up two runs on six hits over seven innings, throwing 93 pitches to improve to 2-5 with an ERA of 4.20 in eight starts. The Orioles' four-game winning streak came to an end and they came up short in their shot to go 12 games over the .500 mark for the first time all year,...

Former O's executive Jim Duquette provides his take on Feldman trade (draft picks debut)

Former O's executive Jim Duquette provides his take on Feldman trade (draft picks debut)
Former Orioles executive Jim Duquette feels the club made a good trade today when it acquired pitcher Scott Feldman from the Chicago Cubs, sending Jake Arrieta and Pedro Strop to Chicago. "I like it because they took two struggling pieces and turned it into a real consistent contributor in Scott Feldman," Duquette said. "He's not a top-of-rotation starter, but that would have cost you a top prospect like (Dylan) Bundy or (Kevin) Gausman. "The other benefit they got is getting out front...

Will Feldman be a Joe Saunders-type acquisition for the Orioles?

Will Feldman be a Joe Saunders-type acquisition for the Orioles?
The Orioles struck quickly today in adding a pitcher for their starting rotation. It will be possibly as soon as tomorrow when we begin to find out if Scott Feldman will be a key addition for this team like Joe Saunders was late last season. Feldman was having a solid year for the Cubs going 7-6 with a 3.46 ERA and nine quality starts in 15 outings. Opposing batters are hitting just .234 against him, a stat that puts him ahead of Chris Tillman, Miguel Gonzalez and Jason Hammel. Feldman could...

With new pitch and better results, Gamboa's stock is now on the rise

With new pitch and better results, Gamboa's stock is now on the rise
Right-hander Eddie Gamboa has pitched well enough the last few seasons for Double-A Bowie to keep his spot on the staff, but never quite well enough to get a promotion or to be considered one of the club's top pitching prospects. Gamboa is back at Bowie again this season. But armed with a new pitch and now producing strong results, Gamboa is finally getting noticed. Now his dream of someday making it with the Orioles doesn't seem like the real long shot it once did. The Orioles discovered...

Minor league notes on Ohlman's hot bat and Drake's good start for Bowie (draft pick signing)

Minor league notes on Ohlman's hot bat and Drake's good start for Bowie (draft pick signing)
When the Orioles announce their minor league player of the month for June, Michael Ohlman should get some strong consideration. The Single-A Frederick catcher batted .356 with five homers, 17 RBIs and an OPS of 1.104 in June. His scorching hot bat finally cooled off during an 0-for-4 day on Sunday. But, in the four games before that, Ohlman went 10-for-15 with four doubles, one homer and eight RBIs. The 22-year-old right-handed hitter has battled some injuries over the years including a right...

The Orioles and their fans showed their stuff on a big stage over the weekend

The Orioles and their fans showed their stuff on a big stage over the weekend
I've covered Baltimore sports long enough and hosted enough radio shows over the years to know that Baltimore sports fans spend a lot of time, almost obsessive, over what the national media is saying about their sports teams. That being the case - and I don't really agree with it, but I don't deny it's true - the fans had to love the last two days. Orioles fans got to see their team win over the New York Yankees on two different national networks as the announcers heaped praise on the...

Roberts talks on the win, thanks crowd for its support (with other player quotes)
In his first game back with the Orioles since April 4, Brian Roberts went 1-for-2 and produced a key insurance run with a sac fly. He received several big ovations from the crowd of 40,878 during the Orioles' 4-2 win over the Yankees. "My first at-bat was special for me," Roberts said. "To be here as long as I have and to be through so many ups and downs, you don't really know if people are just tired of you or if they really want you out there still. "My journey, so many people can...

Hiroki Kuroda has had two very different starts against the O's this year (updated)
Yankees right-hander Hiroki Kuroda makes the start against the Orioles here tonight. He is 7-5 with an ERA of 2.77 in 16 starts. Kuroda ranks fifth in the American League in ERA and has had two very different starts this year against the Orioles. On April 14 at New York, in another ESPN Sunday Night Baseball game, he pitched a five-hit shutout, throwing 113 pitches. On May 22 here at Camden Yards, Kuroda went two innings plus two batters and gave up eight hits and five runs, throwing 55...

Jair Jurrjens on today's roster move; Eddie Gamboa no-hitter notes and quotes

Jair Jurrjens on today's roster move; Eddie Gamboa no-hitter notes and quotes
It was a new one for me today when Jair Jurrjens was designated for assignment off the 25-man roster. There is a difference between DFA and this designation of DFA "off the roster." To cut to the chase, it appears that Jurrjens, after a 48-hour window, is very likely to remain in the organization, and will likely head back to pitch for Triple-A Norfolk. "They needed to put B-Rob on the roster, and I was the guy that came out from the bullpen yesterday. I'm the guy out," Jurrjens said...

Brian Roberts on his latest return to the Orioles and more
Brian Roberts' latest comeback continues tonight at Camden Yards. The Orioles activated him off the 60-day disabled list today, and he'll bat ninth and serve as the DH against the Yankees. Roberts had surgery to repair his injured right hamstring in early May after getting hurt in the third game of this season. "It's great, I'm excited. Should be a great atmosphere and looking forward to being a part of it," he said about being back. He has played in just 118 games since 2010, and he...

ESPN's Olney says the time is now for O's to sign Machado to a 10-year contract

ESPN's Olney says the time is now for O's to sign Machado to a 10-year contract
Even though he doesn't have even a full year's worth of service time yet and has played just 133 career games with the club, ESPN's Buster Olney said the time is now for the Orioles to sign Manny Machado to a long-term, megabucks contract. "That is going to be kind of a turning point in the franchise's history because he clearly is that kind of player," Olney said this week in an interview with MASNsports.com. A former O's beat writer for The Baltimore Sun, Olney and the ESPN broadcast...

In Bowie, Chen says he feels ready to return to O's rotation
BOWIE, Md. - Left-hander Wei-Yin Chen, out since mid-May with a strained right oblique, said he's ready to return to the Orioles rotation after pitching tonight for Double-A Bowie. Now we wait to find out if the O's brass agrees with him. He had one bad inning - giving up four runs in the fourth - over a five-inning outing for the Baysox. Chen gave up five hits with two walks and five strikeouts. He threw 79 pitches. He used all his pitches and took a two-hit shutout to the fourth. He was...

Chen fans Harper, two scoreless tonight for Bowie (done after five)
BOWIE, Md - Wearing a No. 16 home white jersey, the same number he wears for the Orioles, left-hander Wei-Yin Chen has pitched two shutout innings tonight for the Double-A Bowie Baysox in a rehab start against the Harrisburg Senators. In the top of the first, he struck out Bryce Harper. Brian Goodwin singled to right to lead off the game before Chen fanned Harper looking on a 2-2 fastball over the outside corner.

BOWIE, Md - Since June 18, Nolan Reimold has been playing with the Double-A Bowie Baysox for the first time since 2008. But his minor league rehab stint may only have two games to go. Reimold will play left field and bat third tonight and he expects to play in at least one game of Sunday's doubleheader. After that, he could be rejoining the Orioles for their road trip that begins Tuesday. Reimold hasn't played in the majors since May 11 due a right hamstring injury, but he says he's ready...

Orioles were strong in the late innings, and postgame interviews last night

Orioles were strong in the late innings, and postgame interviews last night
After an impressive Orioles win last night reporters had an impressive array of postgame interviews at our disposal. In one corner of the clubhouse Kevin Gausman was talking about his first win, and pitching in relief. In another corner, Manny Machado was talking about tagging up to get to third base where he could score a key run later on an infield hit. And then there was Nate McLouth talking about hitting a key go-ahead homer. McLouth provided maybe the quote of the night when asked if his...
