Leftovers for breakfast

Leftovers for breakfast
The Orioles won't be able to measure the exact amount of damage done by the cancellation of the 2020 minor league season due to COVID-19. There isn't a device invented for it, despite the wealth of technology at their fingertips. They made the best of a very bad situation with their alternate training site in Bowie and fall instructional camp, as well as programs and innovative ideas transferred via Zoom calls to players kept home. There are scattered examples of prospects who are flourishing...

Orioles win in 10 innings to end road losing streak at 20 (updated)

Orioles win in 10 innings to end road losing streak at 20 (updated)
The pitch count didn't present an issue tonight for Matt Harvey. No inning so taxing that he became fatigued by the midpoint, which happened again in his last start. Harvey made it through the fifth inning for the first time in his last 10 starts, though two solo homers put him behind twice, letdowns that have been deadly with the Orioles unable to siphon runs out of a game. The offense wasn't on mute tonight, rare noise coming from a four-run eighth that created a tie. Harvey wouldn't...

Hyde on Kremer demotion, Wells and Wade on promotions

Hyde on Kremer demotion, Wells and Wade on promotions
The removal again of rookie Dean Kremer from the rotation and active roster this afternoon leaves Orioles manager Brandon Hyde contemplating a replacement with no days off on the schedule until Thursday. "The decision is pending," Hyde said on his media Zoom call. Alexander Wells is available out of the bullpen for tonight's game against the Blue Jays, and the Australian-born left-hander could start Tuesday in Houston. The Orioles needed fresh arms in relief and Wells and Konner Wade, who...

Orioles and Blue Jays lineups

Orioles and Blue Jays lineups
Are the Orioles and Blue Jays ready to rumble? Alek Manoah is on the mound tonight while appealing his five-game suspension for hitting Maikel Franco in Saturday's game in Baltimore after surrendering back-to-back home runs to Ryan Mountcastle and DJ Stewart. The benches and bullpens emptied. The managers jawed at each other. The rematch is tonight in Buffalo, with the Orioles, more importantly, trying to break a 20-game road losing streak. They have gone 24 consecutive innings without a...

Orioles call up Wells and Wade, option Kremer

Orioles call up Wells and Wade, option Kremer
Two more pitchers have a chance to make their major league debuts with the Orioles. The team announced today that it recalled left-hander Alexander Wells from Triple-A Norfolk and selected the contract of right-hander Konner Wade. They're in Buffalo tonight as the Orioles try to snap a 20-game road losing streak. Knuckleballer Mickey Jannis was designated for assignment to make room for Wade on the 40-man roster. Dean Kremer has been optioned to Norfolk after last night's disastrous outing...

Kremer retires only one batter in 9-0 loss (updated)

Kremer retires only one batter in 9-0 loss (updated)
After his second walk of the first inning tonight, Orioles starter Dean Kremer swatted at the ball with his glove while taking the throw from catcher Pedro Severino. After the third, he spun around with his back to the plate. Faced with a bases-loaded, no-out jam, no matter where he stood. The frustration only grew for Kremer, along with the deficit and pitch count. One batter retired, six runs against him, a seat on the bench with teammates patting him on the back in an attempt to encourage...

Orioles unable to carry two Rule 5 pitchers through season

Orioles unable to carry two Rule 5 pitchers through season
The rarity of breaking camp with two Rule 5 pitchers is followed by the rarity of keeping them through an entire season. The Orioles took a stab at it, needing right-handers Tyler Wells and Mac Sceroler to remain on the active roster for 90 days. Sceroler didn't make it. He was designated for assignment on Tuesday. Let me begin by pointing out that the reference order used to be Mac Sceroler and Tyler Wells based on their selections at the Winter Meetings, though the former had less...

Means won't return to Orioles until second half
John Means is playing catch down in Sarasota, Fla. and slowly building on his throwing progression, but Orioles manager Brandon Hyde doesn't anticipate having his ace in the rotation to close out the first half. Hyde said Means, on the injured list with a strained left shoulder, will start throwing side sessions when cleared to increase his activities. "I would expect him at some point right after the All-Star break," Hyde said during today's media Zoom call. Means can't be considered for...

Orioles lineup vs. Blue Jays

Orioles lineup vs. Blue Jays
The Orioles are in Buffalo tonight to play the Blue Jays, start a three-city trip and attempt to end their road losing streak at 19 games. Ryan Mountcastle is playing first base and Trey Mancini is the designated hitter. Austin Hays is in left field and Anthony Santander is starting in right. Cedric Mullins is hitting .441 (41-for-93) in the Orioles' 23 wins, the highest average in the majors. He's hitting .246 (46-for-187) in the 50 losses when he's played. Mullins is batting .403...

Jannis makes major league debut in 13-0 loss (updated)

Jannis makes major league debut in 13-0 loss (updated)
The countdown to Mickey Jannis' major league debut began tonight in the top of the second inning. He began warming in the fourth after Dillon Tate sat down. He walked through the gate in the fifth and into a chapter of his professional life that didn't seem plausible. Jannis finally pitched in a major league game, his small but vocal cheering section unleashed in front of the press box. The run he allowed in the sixth seemed inconsequential based on the score and his journey. Then came four...

Could Orioles have two players at All-Star Game?

Could Orioles have two players at All-Star Game?
Phase 1 of the All-Star voting concludes this afternoon at 4 p.m., which leads into Phase 2 and eventually the big reveal. The smoke will be black and orange if Cedric Mullins is chosen. The Orioles aren't expected to have a starter unless it's due to an injury. However, Mullins would be a massive snub if he isn't a reserve for the American League. Heading into last night's game against the Astros, Mullins was slashing .310/.379/.538 with 18 doubles, three triples, 13 home runs and 12...

Jannis talks about making the majors at age 33

Jannis talks about making the majors at age 33
The latest reliever swap by the Orioles has put knuckleballer Mickey Jannis in the bullpen, his major league debut at age 33 perhaps coming later tonight against the Astros. The Orioles selected Jannis' contract yesterday from Triple-A Norfolk, with the news passed along by Tides manager Gary Kendall via a phone call. The team didn't play yesterday. Kendall wanted to tell Jannis in person, but he couldn't do it. "I don't think I could put into words what this means," Jannis said earlier...

Anthony Santander took early batting practice and is in tonight's lineup against the Astros to close out the homestand. Santander didn't play Monday and struck out last night as a pinch-hitter. He's dealing with a sore left ankle, but is in right field tonight. Ryan Mountcastle is the designated hitter. He's 14-for-33 (.424) with four home runs and eight RBIs in his last eight games and is batting .361/.378/.694 in 18 games this month. He's batting .365 (27-for-74) with two outs this...

López gets into seventh, but bloop single stings Orioles (updated)
The perfect game and no-hit drama dissipated tonight just two batters into the bottom of the first inning after Freddy Galvis slapped a single into left field to beat the shift. Rain wasn't in the forecast. Umpires checking for sticky substances already felt like old news. The Orioles moved on from their lopsided and waterlogged defeat. Each day presents a fresh start. A new opposing pitcher and the latest opportunity to begin spinning their season in the right direction. Astros veteran Zack...

Checking back on Orioles 2022 roster

Checking back on Orioles 2022 roster
Three years ago, the staff at Baseball America took a shot at projecting the Orioles lineup, rotation and closer for the 2022 season. Let's just say the publication didn't bat 1.000. OK, let's say more. It's virtually impossible to hit on any team because of the variables that blow up predictions. The lists ran in October, after the Orioles began dismantling the team over the summer. The teardown started with the trades of Manny Machado, Zack Britton, Jonathan Schoop, Brad Brach, Kevin...

Orioles DFA Mac Sceroler and select Mickey Jannis' contract
The Orioles have cut ties with Rule 5 pitcher Mac Sceroler. The club designated Sceroler for assignment this afternoon and selected the contract of knuckleballer Mickey Jannis from Triple-A Norfolk. Jannis is wearing No. 76, a first in team history, and waiting to make his major league debut. Sceroler, the nephew of former Orioles pitcher and current MASN analyst Ben McDonald, made five appearances and allowed 12 earned runs (15 total) and 15 hits in 7 2/3 innings. He walked seven batters,...

Orioles avoid no-hitter but not a 10-2 loss (updated)

Orioles avoid no-hitter but not a 10-2 loss (updated)
The only stickiness for Keegan Akin tonight was a third-inning jam. A worse mess for the Orioles was their inability to get a hit until the eighth inning. Three Astros pitchers beginning with Jake Odorizzi combined for only a walk and hit batter before Maikel Franco's two-run homer off reliever Brandon Bielak in the Orioles' 10-2 loss before an announced crowd of 7,414, a potential eighth no-hitter against them and second at Camden Yards sailing into the bullpen. Bielak nailed Austin Hays on...

Taking another look at Matt Harvey's situation with Orioles

Taking another look at Matt Harvey's situation with Orioles
If the Orioles stick with their five-man rotation through a grueling stretch that doesn't bring an off-day until July 1, Matt Harvey would take his next turn Friday night in Buffalo. He'll be opposed by Josh Allen. But seriously, Harvey is lined up to face the Blue Jays in the second game of the series while a segment of the fan base - impossible to measure because the loudest dissenters tend to post more regularly on social media - wonder why he's still in the rotation. Or the...

Valdez on injured list, Santander updates ankle and more
The Orioles have placed reliever César Valdez on the 10-day injured list with a strained muscle in his lower back and recalled reliever Travis Lakins Sr. from Triple-A Norfolk. Valdez lost his closer's job and is carrying a 5.74 ERA and 1.650 WHIP in 25 appearances and 26 2/3 innings. He surrendered two more runs yesterday in the eighth inning and has allowed six runs and 11 hits this month in only seven innings. The slump has been extensive, with Valdez registering a 1.42 ERA and 1.105...
