Proud father Steenstra has two games to follow today

Proud father Steenstra has two games to follow today
As Triple-A Norfolk's pitching coach, Kennie Steenstra won't divide his attention this afternoon. His focus will stay on the field. He'll be locked into Tides starter Alexander Wells and anyone else who comes into the game. But the final out will send him scurrying for updates on the College World Series in Omaha, where son Logan's University of Tennessee Volunteers are playing the University of Virginia at 2 p.m. A coach can turn back into a nervous father real fast. Also a proud...

Orioles and Blue Jays lineups

Orioles and Blue Jays lineups
The Orioles ended their losing streak last night at eight games and Cedric Mullins took over the American League lead in hits with 84. They'll try to keep the momentum going this afternoon against the Blue Jays at Camden Yards. Mullins has five career home runs against the Blue Jays, the most versus any opponent. Last night's four RBIs set a new career high. Mullins tied the club record of being hit in three consecutive games. It's happened seven times, most recently with Jonathan Schoop in...

How could Orioles' catching changes impact 2022?

How could Orioles' catching changes impact 2022?
Yesterday's news that Chance Sisco had been designated for assignment provided the latest jolt to the catching position at Triple-A Norfolk and naturally led to questions regarding Adley Rutschman. They moves aren't related. But isn't it fun to wonder? Rutschman has played 38 games beyond the low Single-A level and figures to stick around Double-A Bowie for at least a little while longer, no matter how good he looks and how excited fans are to watch him progress through the system. The...

Mullins masterful again as Orioles end losing streak (updated)

Mullins masterful again as Orioles end losing streak (updated)
The questions aimed at Orioles manager Brandon Hyde earlier this season sought an explanation for his team's inability to play as well at home as on the road, where the majority of wins were achieved. After the Orioles dropped their 19th road game in a row yesterday, Hyde was asked before boarding a flight out of Cleveland how much he looked forward to getting back to Baltimore. The venues must not be the issue. And a neutral site isn't an option. There's no real science to it. The Orioles...

Hyde on Zimmermann: "He is progressing and he should be fine"

Hyde on Zimmermann: "He is progressing and he should be fine"
The Orioles can't get their rotation settled, losing another left-hander this afternoon to an injury. Rookie Bruce Zimmermann is on the 10-day injured list with left biceps tendinitis, but manager Brandon Hyde indicated this afternoon that the move is precautionary. Zimmermann worked 5 2/3 innings Sunday afternoon against the Rays at Tropicana Field, allowing three runs to keep his ERA at 4.83. "He was just a little sore after his last start, which was kind of normal soreness," Hyde said...

Orioles and Blue Jays lineups

Orioles and Blue Jays lineups
The Orioles are back home tonight and trying to end an eight-game losing streak with Thomas Eshelman making his 2021 debut against the Blue Jays. Eshelman had his contract selected today from Triple-A Norfolk, with Bruce Zimmermann placed on the 10-day injured list with left biceps tendinitis. Eshelman was 0-3 with a 6.41 ERA and 1.424 WHIP in six games (three starts) with the Tides. With his last outing on June 10, Eshelman provides a fresh arm and also prevents the Orioles from shuttling...

Orioles DFA Chance Sisco (updated)

Orioles DFA Chance Sisco (updated)
The Orioles have designated catcher Chance Sisco for assignment today, according to an industry source, and appear ready to add a pitcher to the 40-man roster prior to tonight's game against the Blue Jays at Camden Yards. Sisco's removal from the 40-man opens a spot. Sisco broke camp with the team again and was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on May 31 while the Orioles selected catcher Austin Wynn's contract from the Tides. Sisco, a second-round pick in the 2013 draft, was batting...

Coby Mayo: "I'm going to have a lot of fun"

Coby Mayo: "I'm going to have a lot of fun"
The Orioles are performing an exhausting juggling act with their prospects. The kind that doesn't bring joy, like when another player moves up the affiliate chain. They arrange an injury rehab assignment. They reinstate someone else from the injured list. They are forced to shut down someone else. Talk about having a lot of balls in the air. The club passed along good news this week regarding outfielder Yusniel Diaz, who joined Double-A Bowie on his rehab assignment. But wait, there's...

Trying to put a glove on defensive letdowns

Trying to put a glove on defensive letdowns
The recent box scores tally the seven errors committed by the Orioles in the first three games of their series against the Indians. Ample reason for a manager to grow concerned, and worse. What's missing, however, are the other breakdowns in fundamentals and execution, such as the rundown last night with no one covering second base and a trapped runner dashing to third. Players standing around, as Brandon Hyde noted after the 8-7 loss. There are missed cutoffs or poor decisions to let the ball...

Orioles lineup vs. Indians

Orioles lineup vs. Indians
The rotating outfield for the Orioles finds Austin Hays in left field this afternoon and Anthony Santander in right for the series finale in Cleveland that also concludes a brutal road trip. Trey Mancini is playing first base and Ryan Mountcastle is the designated hitter, with DJ Stewart going to the bench. Pat Valaika is the second baseman and Austin Wynns is catching. Jorge López faced the Indians on June 6 in Baltimore and allowed three runs and four hits in five innings. He walked three...

Orioles can't overcome more breakdowns in 8-7 loss (updated)

Orioles can't overcome more breakdowns in 8-7 loss (updated)
On the same day that Mike Elias and Brandon Hyde again spoke about the need to stay patient and focus on the big picture, no matter how much the losing hurts and frustrates in the moment, the Orioles collected two runs and four hits within the first 10 pitches of their game in Cleveland. A brief reprieve and then a jarring return to their reality. The present can be painful. No one disagrees. The Indians scored five runs off Keegan Akin in the third inning before he recorded an out, the Orioles...

Elias updates medical statuses of Kjerstad, Hall and Davis

Elias updates medical statuses of Kjerstad, Hall and Davis
The deliberate process of getting outfielder Heston Kjerstad built up physically and able to begin playing in games has been shelved again due to a medical issue. The same condition that kept him inactive following the 2020 draft. Kjerstad, the second-overall pick out of the University of Arkansas, was diagnosed with myocarditis last summer and couldn't participate in spring training earlier this year. He reported to the alternate camp site in Bowie and moved his baseball activities and...

Left to wonder about Orioles' rotation possibilities

Left to wonder about Orioles' rotation possibilities
There are reasons to keep deflecting attention from the 2021 season and imagining how the Orioles could look further down the road. Because of the struggles that are surfacing again this summer and the promise of better times ahead with the farm system in much better shape. Perhaps at a level that hasn't been achieved since players with no reason to stay in the minors returned in bunches to Triple-A Rochester and waited their turns, forcing the front office into making trades in order to...

Harvey's latest short start comes with miscues (updated)

Harvey's latest short start comes with miscues (updated)
As Matt Harvey's ERA rose and patience with his failed starts withered away, Orioles manager Brandon Hyde kept defending the veteran by pointing out mistakes committed in the field and run support that lacked. Harvey wasn't nearly as generous after his most recent game, crushing himself like cocktail ice after a loss to the Mets. Hyde, meanwhile, leaned on the dugout railing tonight, watched an unearned run score in the first inning and hated to be proven right. Hyde saw a missed cutoff in...

Armstrong reports to Triple-A confident in return to O's

Armstrong reports to Triple-A confident in return to O's
Shawn Armstrong received a phone call that he knew was coming. You don't have this much professional experience and self-awareness and become oblivious to the situation. Armstrong was struggling in the Orioles bullpen. He was out of minor league options. Someone had to step aside to make room for Hunter Harvey's return from the injured list. Orioles executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias was on the other end of the line on June 4. Armstrong had been designated for...

Orioles acquire José Berroa from Pirates (plus other notes)

Orioles acquire José Berroa from Pirates (plus other notes)
The Orioles have traded Triple-A Norfolk catcher Taylor Davis to the Pirates in exchange for outfielder José Berroa, who will be assigned to a Florida Complex team in Sarasota, Fla. Berroa, 19, was signed by the Pirates as an international free agent from Santo Domingo, D.R., on July 2, 2018. He appeared in a combined 56 games for the Pirates Rookie-level Dominican Summer League affiliates in 2019 and posted a .254 average (48-for-189) with a .678 OPS, six doubles, three triples, 21 RBIs and...

Mullins' low All-Star count, Kremer's read, Bannon update

Mullins' low All-Star count, Kremer's read, Bannon update
The structure of the voting for the 2021 All-Star Game allows the top nine outfielders in each league to advance to the next "phase," as Major League Baseball is calling it. Cedric Mullins is currently 10th with 145,537 votes. Of course it's ridiculous. His 2.9 WAR last night, per Fangraphs.com, ranked fifth in the American League at any position, his 78 hits were tied for third in the majors and he led off the game with a single, and his defense has been Gold Glove-worthy. But the All-Star...

Kremer makes impressive return in 4-3 loss (updated)
Dean Kremer made his 14th major league start tonight and could brag of being the most experienced pitcher among the three rookies now planted in the Orioles rotation for however long it lasts. Kremer was recalled this afternoon from Triple-A Norfolk, his reset complete, and joined left-handers Bruce Zimmermann and Keegan Akin, who have started in 12 and nine games, respectively. If fans want a distraction from the losing streaks that keep hounding this club, a trio of pitching prospects taking...
