Orioles surrender seven unanswered runs in 8-4 loss

Orioles surrender seven unanswered runs in 8-4 loss
Catcher Jesús Sucre set an outside target this afternoon with an 0-2 count on Gleyber Torres, the Orioles still holding a two-run lead with two outs in the sixth inning in their home opener. One more strike, one more out, and they could inch a little closer to their latest win. Mike Wright's 95 mph fastball tailed over the plate, moving up and in, and Torres didn't miss it. Contact was made and Sucre bolted out of his crouch, spun toward the home dugout and ripped off his mask. A chase...

Mancini hoping hot streak carries into home opener (O's down 8-4)

Mancini hoping hot streak carries into home opener (O's down 8-4)
The Orioles lost five of their first six games last season and Trey Mancini stumbled hard out of the gate, making what's transpired in the first week this year the ultimate script flip. Not as entertaining as a bat flip, but terribly important to Mancini. "Winning two series on the road to start the year, especially with so many young guys on our team," Mancini said, savoring a 4-2 start. "I think 11 of the 25 on opening day hadn't experienced one before, so that's really cool. And I'm...

Hyde: "We're real excited to play in front of our fans"

Hyde: "We're real excited to play in front of our fans"
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde has been warned about the orange carpet on opening day at Camden Yards. He's been prepped and has joked about how he's going to avoid an injury or embarrassing fall. "I'm hearing a lot about the carpet," he said. "I saw a picture, actually, this morning of what it looked like. Obviously, it's a very special tradition and can't wait to be a part of it." Hyde may borrow Deion Sander's high-step to ensure that his feet don't get tangled in the...

Yesterday's loss, today's game and making concessions

Yesterday's loss, today's game and making concessions
The disappointment of yesterday's 5-3 loss in Toronto should be softened by the realization that few people outside the most optimistic and unrealistic predicted four wins on a six-game road trip introducing a 2019 season that's extremely low on expectations. A season all about the rebuild and what's best for the long-term plan. Instant gratification isn't the primary goal, but can happen in spite of it. The big fear was an 0-6 start and a team staggering into today's home opener against...

Orioles designate Araujo for assignment (Wotherspoon optioned)

Orioles designate Araujo for assignment (Wotherspoon optioned)
The Orioles placed a fresh arm in their bullpen today in Toronto and have decided to end the Rule 5 experiment with Pedro Araujo. Araujo has been designated for assignment despite needing only 17 days from the start of the season to lose his Rule 5 status. The Orioles selected the contract of right-hander Matt Wotherspoon, who's been assigned No. 71 and will make his major league debut if appearing in a game. The Orioles can attempt to trade Araujo. Otherwise he must clear waivers and be...

Orioles saving best for last

Orioles saving best for last
The 2018 Orioles had five different pitchers register saves, led by Brad Brach with 11. Only Mychal Givens and Paul Fry remain with the club. Brach, Zack Britton and Darren O'Day were traded in July and Givens was anointed the closer this season by everyone except manager Brandon Hyde, who refused to hang the label on one reliever. He wasn't doing it just to throw everyone off the scent. The Orioles have won four games and four different relievers are credited with saves - Fry, Mike Wright,...

Orioles trade Susac to Royals

Orioles trade Susac to Royals
The Orioles loosened the catching logjam at Triple-A Norfolk. Andrew Susac has been traded to the Royals for cash considerations, with the announcement coming from both clubs. Chance Sisco and Carlos Pérez remain with the Tides and Austin Wynns is at extended spring training while recovering from a strained oblique. Norfolk didn't need a third catcher on the active roster. Martin Cervenka and Cael Brockmeyer were assigned to Double-A Bowie. The Orioles have been seeking a trade partner for...

Orioles lineup vs. Blue Jays
The Orioles will attempt tonight to match their longest winning streak of 2018 at four games. They went 0-10 at Rogers Centre last year, but they already notched their first victory this season after 6 1/3 hitless innings last night from David Hess and the bullpen's tightrope walk. Hanser Alberto gets his first start tonight, replacing Jonathan Villar at second base. Villar has moved to shortstop, with Rule 5 pick Richie Martin getting his first rest. Trey Mancini is 8-for-16 with five infield...

More early impressions of the Orioles
The education on the 2019 Orioles is ongoing and unable to be contained in one blog entry. What else have we learned through four games? Manager Brandon Hyde will push his pitchers in certain situations, but not all of them. Mychal Givens threw a career-high 49 pitches Sunday in the Bronx, but David Hess was removed last night in Toronto after 6 1/3 hitless innings and 82 pitches. Hess threw 42 on Thursday and came back on short rest. Fast forward to later in the season and Hess stays in the...

Early impressions of the Orioles
What did we learn about the Orioles through their first series of the 2019 season? Besides how the players were overjoyed that Brandon Hyde earned his first win as manager, the outpouring of affection coming from 12-ounce cans. They want to get all of the firsts out of the way as quickly as possible. Hyde's first win. Richie Martin's first hit. Mike Wright's first save. John Means' first win. All of it happening in the Bronx. What's next, Andrew Cashner's first shave? Hyde won't be a...

Bundy walks into trouble in season debut (O's win 7-5, updated)

Bundy walks into trouble in season debut (O's win 7-5, updated)
NEW YORK - Dylan Bundy couldn't begin to warm up for today's start, his first of the 2019 season, until the weather turned colder and the rain picked up in intensity. A delay clocked at 3 hours, 17 minutes didn't provide much relief for a pitcher who wanted to avoid the other kind for a while. The temperature kept dropping, down to 47 degrees at first pitch. The precipitation stopped and started again. But the Yankees took the field, Jonathan Villar stepped into the box and baseball was...

Martin on first hit, Yacabonis on win (O's lead 4-0)

Martin on first hit, Yacabonis on win (O's lead 4-0)
NEW YORK - The box score shows that Orioles Rule 5 pick Richie Martin singled yesterday in the sixth inning and later scored on a double steal and throwing error. It doesn't come with an explanation attached. How Martin sent a blooper over first base that two Yankees chased and couldn't touch. Maybe it becomes a scorching line drive in the retelling. It still counts as a hit, his first in the majors. "It felt great," he said this morning. "I was more excited about the team win. It didn't...

Hyde on lineup, Mullins, Mancini and closer role
NEW YORK - Orioles manager Brandon Hyde continues to switch players around the field and in the lineup. Not much has changed since Sarasota except for the weather and the importance of the games. Also, the intent. Trey Mancini is in right field for the first time since making two starts in 2017, the most recent at Yankee Stadium. Joey Rickard shifts over to center field. Chris Davis is playing again after a day spent on the bench. "I'm going to match up and move guys around still," Hyde...

Notes on Carroll injury, pending roster move, Jackson and Davis
NEW YORK - Reliever Cody Carroll, cut from the Orioles' camp roster on March 17 and optioned to Triple-A Norfolk, is headed to the injured list. Carroll is dealing with some soreness in his lower back that's keeping him off the break-camp roster. There didn't appear to be any health issues with Carroll before he reported to Twin Lakes Park. He recorded his third save in his final exhibition outing on March 16 and allowed two runs and five hits with one walk and nine strikeouts over seven...

Wrapping up the Orioles' 5-3 win over the Yankees

Wrapping up the Orioles' 5-3 win over the Yankees
NEW YORK - Brandon Hyde's first managerial win in the majors made him smell like he just rolled out of a brewery. What actually happened is Hyde was rolled into the shower area in a laundry cart and doused in beer, soda, water, syrup and anything else that players could find. Game 2 of the 2019 season felt like Game 7 of the postseason. The Orioles hung on to defeat the Yankees 5-3 and there wasn't a dry manager's eye in the house. "Well, I'm dripping right now. Who knows what that is?"...

Orioles get aggressive, opener works in 5-3 win

Orioles get aggressive, opener works in 5-3 win
NEW YORK - Orioles manager Brandon Hyde wants aggression from his team. On the mound and on the basepaths. He's been preaching it since the first day of camp and the start of the regular season doesn't alter the message. If they're going to make a mistake, don't let it come from being too passive. The Orioles took the lead over the Yankees this afternoon by sticking with that exact approach. Jesús Sucre tagging up and going second to third on a line drive to center. A double steal...

Hyde on lineup decisions and opener (O's ahead 5-1)
NEW YORK - The reverse splits that Yankees left-hander James Paxton brings into today's start couldn't convince Orioles manager Brandon Hyde to include Chris Davis in his lineup. Davis and Cedric Mullins are on the bench as the Orioles continue their opening series at Yankee Stadium. Davis struck out in all three at-bats Thursday, and Renato Núñez batted for him in the ninth inning against left-hander Aroldis Chapman. Mullins is a switch-hitter with much better numbers from the left...
