Updates on Teagarden and Markakis after 7-7 tie (with quotes)
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Tampa Bay Rays scored five runs in the top of the ninth against relievers Oscar Villarreal and Stu Pomeranz to take a 7-5 lead, but Rule 5 pick Ryan Flaherty responded with a two-out, two-run homer to send the game to the 10th. Steve Johnson retired the side in order, striking out the last batter, and the Orioles failed to score after loading the bases with no outs. We had to settle for a 7-7 tie. Caleb Joseph tapped into a force at the plate, Jai Miller struck out and...

Jason Hammel started for the Orioles and allowed one run and one hit, walked one and struck out two. His only real mistake was a 2-0 fastball to Matt Joyce that cleared the right field fence. "Before in the past, I'd give up...

Miller homers off Price (Hammel and Reimold updates)

Miller homers off Price (Hammel and Reimold updates)
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles' bats must be thawing out today. They scored four runs in the second inning off Rays left-hander David Price, their biggest uprising in an inning this spring. They've scored more than four runs in a game only once this spring. Jai Miller crushed a three-run homer to straightaway center field with one out in the second to give the Orioles a 4-1 lead. The ball easily cleared the 400-foot sign. Miller and Chris Davis have hit the only home runs for the Orioles...

Showalter on Teagarden and more

Showalter on Teagarden and more
SAROSOTA, Fla. - Manager Buck Showalter had his usual pregame session with the media today while his team took batting practice. Here are a few highlights: On Taylor Teagarden seeing a back specialist: "An MRI would show something with everybody unless you take it before 15 years old or something. But there are some things we want him to take a look at there and see what the next step is. So far, I'm not going to elaborate, but I think identifying what he's having some discomfort about. The...

Roberts takes another step in his progression

Roberts takes another step in his progression
SARASOTA, Fla. - Rather than take batting practice on one of the back fields after teammates retreated to the clubhouse, Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts hit from both sides of the plate today against minor league pitching coach Alan Mills on the Ed Smith Stadium field. Once his round was completed, he moved to second base and scooped up ground balls from minor league instructor Bobby Dickerson - first at the edge of the infield grass and later from the edge of the outfield grass. He made...

Teagarden seeing back specialist

Teagarden seeing back specialist
SARASOTA, Fla. - I wanted to pass along a few items before heading back to the Orioles' clubhouse. I'll pass along quotes later. Catcher Taylor Teagarden is seeing a back specialist in St. Petersburg today to determine whether his MRI reveals any structural damage. So far, surgery is not being discussed. The Orioles are simply trying to determine the source of his discomfort. Brian Roberts took batting practice on the Ed Smith Stadium field in a group that included Matt Wieters and Endy...

Patton pitching today, Berken still rehabbing

Patton pitching today, Berken still rehabbing
SARASOTA, Fla. - Left-hander Troy Patton is scheduled to pitch today for the first time since Thursday, when he recorded the last three outs to pick up the save against the Braves. I suggested that the Orioles were holding him back for the next time they needed another lead protected in the ninth, but he wasn't buying it. Actually, Patton was supposed to take one day off and throw again, but he requested an extra day because he was "a little bit sore still." "Ideally, I would have...

Reimold ready for return

Reimold ready for return
SARASOTA, Fla. - The swelling in Nolan Reimold's left cheek is almost gone. Though he's not ready to devour a steak - too much chewing - he's progressed from shakes to soft foods. And he's taking hard swings in the batting cage. Reimold will return to the Orioles' lineup tomorrow afternoon against the Tampa Bay Rays, only four days after being drilled in the face by an Alex Cobb fastball in Port Charlotte. "It's healing pretty fast," he said this morning after taking batting...

Checking on Chen (O's lose 4-1)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Over in Dunedin, left-hander Wei-Yin Chen allowed one run in three innings to the Toronto Blue Jays and has been replaced by Armando Galarraga. Chen gave up two hits, walked a batter and struck out two. He threw 52 pitches, 29 for strikes. The run scored on a Colby Rasmus double. In two spring starts, Chen has allowed one run and three hits in five innings, with with one walk and five strikeouts. I'm not including his intrasquad outing, when he failed to retire a third...

Lindstrom completes bullpen session without a hitch

Lindstrom completes bullpen session without a hitch
SARASOTA, Fla. - Reliever Matt Lindstrom threw 30 pitches from a bullpen mound this morning and is tentatively set to pitch Wednesday against the Pirates in Sarasota. Lindstrom said he threw everything, first from a windup to get his rhythm and then the stretch. "I'm not trying to throw 100 percent, obviously, since I haven't been on a mound since four or five days ago," he said. "The ball felt good coming out of my hand. And it's not like I've taken a bunch of days off since...

Talking to Tillman and Paulino

Talking to Tillman and Paulino
SARASOTA, Fla. - Manny Machado is on the travel roster today. Manager Buck Showalter just can't quit him. Nolan Reimold is still scheduled to play Tuesday. The swelling on his left cheek has gone down considerably. Chris Tillman was ambushed by reporters this morning after throwing three scoreless innings yesterday against the Red Sox and hitting 95 mph with his fastball. "I enjoyed it. It was fun. It was good to get back out there," he said. "Physically, I felt good. Stuff was good....

Updating a few injuries

Updating a few injuries
SARASOTA, Fla. - Tommy Hunter is scheduled to throw four innings Friday, but the location hasn't been determined. Hunter, who's no longer bothered by lower back soreness, will throw 60-65 pitches against the Twins in Fort Myers or in a minor league game at Twin Lakes Park. The smart money is Twin Lakes. No sense making Hunter travel that far. Hunter threw 42 pitches yesterday in a B game and said he felt good. "The ball was coming out, got a few on their hands," he said. "They weren't...

Orioles lineup vs. Blue Jays
SARASOTA, Fla. - Jai Miller is starting in center field today for the Orioles, which is a switch. He's been a corner outfielder. Also, Wei-Yin Chen gets the start against the Blue Jays, a decision that manager Buck Showalter confirmed after yesterday's game. And John Hester is behind the plate again today instead of Taylor Teagarden, who's been receiving treatment for lower back stiffness.

Orioles option three players and reassign five

Orioles option three players and reassign five
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles made their first round of cuts today, reducing their camp roster by eight players and leaving them with 49. The Orioles optioned infielders Ryan Adams and Josh Bell to Triple-A Norfolk, and pitcher Dylan Bundy to Single-A Delmarva. Also, outfielders Xavier Avery and LJ Hoes, catchers Michael Ohlman and Brian Ward, and pitcher Steve Johnson were reassigned to minor league camp because they're not on the 40-man roster. You're optioned if you're on the 40-man,...

A few comments from Showalter after 6-1 loss

A few comments from Showalter after 6-1 loss
SARASOTA, Fla. - I'm still waiting for the Orioles to send out the names of the players who were involved in the first round of cuts. There won't be any major surprises. Maybe one name will make you say, "Wow, already?" But I'll wait until it's official. So what did manager Buck Showalter think of left-hander Dana Eveland today? "You can see why he's had some success, but as you move up levels, there's a fine line," Showalter said. "He does things that allowed him to have success...

O'Day scratched, five cuts confirmed
SARASOTA, Fla. - Reliever Darren O'Day was supposed to pitch the ninth inning today, but he was scratched because of some tightness in his groin. Oliver Drake worked the ninth and gave up a run in a 6-1 loss to the Red Sox. The Orioles were held to three hits, including Steve Tolleson's leadoff double in the ninth. Tolleson was thrown out at the plate to end the game. He briefly disputed the call. As for O'Day, he said the discomfort surfaced while he was warming up in the...

Eveland's assessment of himself today: "Not very good"

Eveland's assessment of himself today: "Not very good"
SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles left-hander Dana Eveland was charged with only one earned run in two innings today. A run wouldn't have scored in the first if he gloved Ryan Sweeney's comebacker with two outs. He would have been spared two unearned runs in the second if Chris Davis made a better throw to second base. None of that mattered to Eveland, who allowed six hits and fell behind too many batters. He didn't try to put a positive spin on his outing, much to his credit. "Not very good," he...

Eveland done after two innings

Eveland done after two innings
SARASOTA, Fla. - The Red Sox brought a few of their top players to Ed Smith Stadium today, perhaps their way of jabbing at manager Buck Showalter for the lineup he posted at their Fort Myers complex. Just a hunch. Dana Eveland allowed three runs in two innings today, but only one was earned because of Chris Davis' throwing error with one out in the second. Nate Spears flied out, which should have put Eveland back in the dugout, but Dustin Pedroia followed with a two-run double to left-center...

B game, Reimold, Wada, Wieters, etc. (corrected)
SARASOTA, Fla. - Tommy Hunter went three innings and recorded 13 outs in today's B game against the Red Sox on the Camden Yards field. The Orioles want to increase his pitch count, so they kept him on the mound for the extra batters. Hunter threw 42 pitches. He gave up two hits, though the second one came after he had retired the first three batters. Kevin Gregg threw 15 pitches in the fourth and gave up a solo homer to Juan Carlos Linares. He struck out one batter. Linares glanced back at...
