Long on hitters: "We've had a lot of room to grow"

Long on hitters: "We've had a lot of room to grow"
Because the terms of manager Brandon Hyde's contract with the Orioles weren't shared with the public - and that does include the media, even if some of us shouldn't be allowed to mingle - it's more of an assumption than solid confirmation that his three-year deal includes an option for the 2022 season. The expectation is that he's returning, though nothing official has come across. The outlook is more uncertain for the coaching staff, which routinely seems to undergo changes. Doug Brocail...

Orioles rally for lead and relinquish it in ninth in 4-3 loss (updated)

Orioles rally for lead and relinquish it in ninth in 4-3 loss (updated)
Gary Sánchez drove a fastball to deep center field tonight in the second inning, flipping his bat on the backswing, and began his trip around the bases. Where else was he going after making that kind of contact? Cedric Mullins sprinted to the ball, timed his leap at the fence and reached high above it, came down, hopped twice to his left - sticking the landing wasn't important in this event - and flipped it to Austin Hays. Hays would flip the lead later and watch it spin back. John Means...

Notes on Mancini, Severino, Means, Mullins, Mountcastle and more

Notes on Mancini, Severino, Means, Mullins, Mountcastle and more
Trey Mancini was written into today's lineup as the designated hitter, but he swung in the cage, felt more discomfort in his right oblique/abdomen and moved to the bench for the game. "Just still feels it a little bit," said manager Brandon Hyde. "We're not going to push him on this and the right thing to do is to give it another day or two and just kind of evaluate it every single day. I'm not going to throw him out there if he still feels it a little bit in kind of a sensitive area...

Orioles lineup vs. Yankees (updated)

Orioles lineup vs. Yankees (updated)
The Orioles will try to end a four-game losing streak with Trey Mancini staying in the lineup and Pedro Severino removed from it. Mancini came out of last night's game after one plate appearance with right abdominal soreness. Severino struggled to get up the first base line on a double play grounder in the sixth inning due to soreness in his leg/groin area, and Austin Wynns replaced him. Mancini is the first Oriole to walk in eight consecutive games since Brian Roberts in 2009. Ryan...

Orioles surrender five home runs in 7-2 loss (updated)

Orioles surrender five home runs in 7-2 loss (updated)
Alexander Wells trailed by two runs tonight just two batters into his latest start with the Orioles. The first three batters produced three hits. The flashbacks to the past three games, with 44 runs surrendered, were blinding. It never got that bad. There was no need to begin researching past records within the organization or the league. But the Orioles assumed the position and fell again on hard times. Wells followed a scoreless second inning by serving up back-to-back home runs in the third,...

Season shutdowns slow evaluation process for Orioles

Season shutdowns slow evaluation process for Orioles
The perk of a last-place team being able to audition and evaluate younger players while looking ahead to next spring training crumbles with each injury. The Orioles won't win any Gold Gloves for catching breaks. Jorge López made a good impression as a reliever, but only for eight games before a sprained ankle put him on the shelf for the remainder of the season. A freakish injury sustained while performing the routine task of covering first base on a ground ball. Jorge Mateo appeared in 32...

Mancini on Clemente Award nomination and good health

Mancini on Clemente Award nomination and good health
Rather than gather players on the field to surprise Trey Mancini with his nomination for the prestigious Roberto Clemente Award, Orioles manager Brandon Hyde chose a team flight to announce the news. Opinions of Mancini keep soaring like the charters. To coincide with Mancini's nomination, Major League Baseball is making a $7,500 donation to The Food Project, a Baltimore-based organization that provides cooking, farming, restaurant skills, job opportunities, sustainable food sources and...

Orioles and Yankees lineups (plus notes)

Orioles and Yankees lineups (plus notes)
Pat Valaika is starting at shortstop tonight in his first game with the Orioles since Aug. 3 at Yankee Stadium. Valaika had his contract selected among a flurry of roster moves that included Jorge Mateo going on the 60-day injured list with right lumbar inflammation. Mateo tried to play through the soreness in his lower back and finally had to be shelved. "Very disappointing because this guy was getting a chance to play in the big leagues, getting regular at-bats and we're moving him around a...

Orioles place Scott and Mateo on injured lists

Orioles place Scott and Mateo on injured lists
The Orioles recalled reliever Marcos Diplán from Triple-A Norfolk this afternoon and selected the contract of infielder Pat Valaika. In corresponding moves, the club placed reliever Tanner Scott on the 10-day injured list with a left knee sprain and put infielder Jorge Mateo on the 60-day injured list with right lumbar inflammation. The move with Mateo frees up a spot for Valaika on the 40-man roster. Mateo batted .280/.328/.421 in 32 games after the Orioles claimed him off waivers from the...

This, that and the other

This, that and the other
The Orioles went through their off-day without making any changes to their roster. There's still time to tweak the pitching staff before the series opener against the Yankees at Camden Yards. I've seen a lot in my 25 years on the beat, much of it good and some stuff that made me rub my eyes and wish I could cleanse my mind. Pretty much the entire 2018 season needs to be burned like unwanted film. And that 30-3 loss to the Rangers in 2007. And every attempt to interview Erik Bedard. Losing a...

Mancini: "Mentally ... a year unlike anything I've been through"

Mancini: "Mentally ... a year unlike anything I've been through"
The penultimate off-day has arrived on the 2021 schedule. One last collective reset for the Orioles, who are waiting to host the Yankees in a three-game series. Trey Mancini has played in 132 games and made 561 plate appearances. There were no real expectations. They can't exist for a cancer survivor who endured six months of chemotherapy treatments and could only hope and pray that he'd survive them and resume his career. Manager Brandon Hyde is asked about Mancini's fatigue during those...

Hanhold joins Orioles (plus today's lineups)

Hanhold joins Orioles (plus today's lineups)
The Orioles found a fresh arm for their bullpen this morning, selecting the contract of reliever Eric Hanhold from Triple-A Norfolk. Hanhold replaces Manny Barreda, who was optioned after Game 2 of last night's stunning 11-2 loss. Barreda served up Teoscar Hernández's 445-foot, three-run homer in the Jays' 11-run seventh inning. Matt Harvey was transferred to the 60-day injured list with right knee inflammation to make room for Hanhold on the 40-man roster. Harvey's season is...

Mancini on Hyde: "He's going to back us up in any situation"

Mancini on Hyde: "He's going to back us up in any situation"
The Orioles and Blue Jays made it through two games yesterday without any blowups and only one stunning blowout. No hits through six innings in the nightcap and no hitters drilled after the opposing pitcher surrendered a couple of home runs. No bickering over a misunderstanding or false accusations. No TV-MA rating for the television broadcast. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde took some social media heat - as if that's a unique development - for his language Friday directed at Rays starter Robbie...

Orioles no-hit Jays for six innings and lose 11-2 (updated)

Orioles no-hit Jays for six innings and lose 11-2 (updated)
The starts will keep coming to Orioles left-hander Keegan Akin. What he does with them is up to him. The Orioles can only provide the opportunities, sit back and hope that he flourishes. Just as they did while making Cedric Mullins their everyday center fielder. Akin issued a leadoff walk to George Springer tonight in the second game of the doubleheader, retired 15 batters in a row and turned in six hitless innings, and Mullins belted his 29th home run. But the Orioles still couldn't achieve...

Orioles lose lead in seventh and drop Game 1 11-10 (updated)
Dean Kremer was handed the ball today and given no promises. Lots of run support, but no promises. The 29th man for a September doubleheader knows his way back to the minors. But there are no rules against him staying, just that someone must be optioned after the nightcap. Kremer's first start with the Orioles in more than two months lasted four innings and included more strikes, but also three home runs among six extra-base hits and leads that shrank or disappeared. The Orioles wouldn't let...

Orioles and Blue Jays Game 1 lineups (updated)
The Orioles are sending rookies Keegan Akin and Dean Kremer to the mound for today's doubleheader against the Blue Jays at Camden Yards. Kremer is starting the opener. Kremer has been recalled from Triple-A Norfolk as the 29th man, rejoining a team he hasn't pitched for since June 24 in Buffalo, where he allowed six runs and walked five batters in one-third of an inning. In his previous start, he held the Jays to two runs and three hits with six strikeouts in six innings at Camden Yards....

Mountcastle on rookie heels of Ripken and Murray

Mountcastle on rookie heels of Ripken and Murray
The comparisons came to Ryan Mountcastle almost from the minute that the Orioles selected him with their second pick in the 2015 draft. His size, the position he played. There was an attachment to Cal Ripken Jr. long before he approached the Hall of Famer's club record for most home runs by a rookie in a season. Mountcastle enters today's doubleheader needing only one to tie Eddie Murray for second place with 27 and leave him one behind Ripken, baseball's Iron Man. Two legends of the game....

Santander's tiebreaking homer pushes Orioles past Jays (updated)

Santander's tiebreaking homer pushes Orioles past Jays (updated)
The Orioles know exactly what's at stake. The importance of the remaining games for each opponent that's in a pennant race. Vying for a division title or the distinction of a wild card. A team buried in last place can wield plenty of influence. And the Orioles are going to take their biggest swings at it. Don't strive to be a spoiler but hope to succeed at it. Cedric Mullins and Ryan McKenna homered in the first inning tonight and rookie Chris Ellis grinded through the fifth before the Blue...

More on Harvey and López being shut down for season
The Orioles are shutting down pitchers Matt Harvey and Jorge López for the remainder of the season, leaving their futures in the organization in varying states of uncertainty. Harvey went on the 10-day injured list yesterday with inflammation in his right knee. López beat him to it after leaving Monday's game against the Royals with a sprained right ankle. Manager Brandon Hyde announced both decisions earlier today. Harvey underwent further testing on the knee, which he injured Aug. 4...

Jorge Mateo and Ramón Urías are out of the lineup tonight due to their physical issues, which puts Richie Martin back in the Orioles lineup for the series opener against the Blue Jays at Camden Yards. Martin is playing shortstop in his first game since the Orioles recalled him. Urías continues to receive treatment on his right upper leg and Mateo is enduring some unspecified discomfort. Manager Brandon Hyde saw Mateo struggle to get out of the box last night and wondered if the...
