O's can't hold late lead, move to extras (O's win 7-3 in 14)

O's can't hold late lead, move to extras (O's win 7-3 in 14)
NEW YORK - The Orioles and Yankees will determine a winner tonight in extra innings. Didi Gregorius homered off reliever Miguel Castro with one out in the eighth inning to produce the third tie of the night. Castro returned for the ninth and retired the side in order to move the game past regulation with the score 3-3. The Orioles wasted two Aroldis Chapman walks in the top of the ninth, with Caleb Joseph bouncing into a force at third base and Trey Mancini striking out. Chapman received two...

Cobb's next start coming in extended spring (tied 3-3)

Cobb's next start coming in extended spring (tied 3-3)
NEW YORK - Alex Cobb will make his next start in extended spring training in Sarasota. Cobb will face the Twins on Monday in a noon game at Ed Smith Stadium. He's slated to go six innings after working four and five in simulated games. The extra start in Florida pushes back Cobb's debut with the Orioles to April 14 or 15 against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. There's the slim chance that he could stay down for another outing, but he's more likely to be recalled for the Boston series. Cobb had...

Rasmus trying to remove himself from early slump

Rasmus trying to remove himself from early slump
NEW YORK - The Triple-A Norfolk Tides open their season tonight after unveiling their official roster, which currently includes outfielders Joey Rickard, Alex Presley, Jaycob Brugman and DJ Stewart. Rickard is the only right-handed hitter in the group. The Orioles signed Michael Saunders to a minor league deal earlier this week to round out their lefty quartet. They won't contemplate a roster move this early in the season, but Colby Rasmus certainly needs to heat up in these frigid...

Wrapping up a 5-2 win

Wrapping up a 5-2 win
NEW YORK - Give the Orioles a Thursday game and they're liable to win it. Adam Jones hit his third home run - and his second on a Thursday, including his opening day walk-off - and the Orioles defeated the Yankees 5-2 in the Bronx. Jones has accounted for half of the Orioles' home runs, with all of them coming in the sixth inning or later, including tonight's two-run shot in the seventh that erased a 1-0 deficit against Masahiro Tanaka. Tonight marked Jones' first homer with a runner on...

Orioles snap five-game losing streak with a 5-2 win

Orioles snap five-game losing streak with a 5-2 win
NEW YORK - Andrew Cashner was working on a one-hit shutout tonight with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning when Aaron Judge strolled to the plate and launched a home run to right-center field to break a scoreless tie. Masahiro Tanaka was working on a three-hit shutout in the top of the seventh when Jonathan Schoop led off with a single and Adam Jones lifted a fly ball to left field that eluded Giancarlo Stanton's leaping attempt for a two-run homer and a 2-1 lead. Pitching lines and a...

Showalter on Cobb, Trumbo, leadoff spot and more (O's lead 5-2)
NEW YORK - The Orioles still haven't committed to a date for Alex Cobb's debut, waiting again for his upcoming work day and input from the right-hander before plotting the next move. Cobb went five innings yesterday in a simulated game in Sarasota. He could go six next week at extended spring training or join the Orioles. Manager Buck Showalter said Cobb will throw in the bullpen Friday or Saturday, "depending how he feels." Showalter suggested that Cobb could pitch Monday or Tuesday in...

Machado on trade rumors, pending free agency, and more

Machado on trade rumors, pending free agency, and more
NEW YORK - A handful of New York reporters congregated near Manny Machado's locker this afternoon in the visiting clubhouse at Yankee Stadium, waiting for his arrival and switch from street clothes to batting practice attire. Machado eventually stood up, turned toward them and faced the music. He easily could have named the tune. The Yankees were one of the clubs engaged in winter trade talks with the Orioles regarding Machado and are forecast as the early favorites to sign him as a free agent...

Handling the good and bad through six games

Handling the good and bad through six games
It's not going to get any easier for the Orioles. Swept by the Astros in a three-game series in Houston and now headed for a four-game set in the Bronx, if the Yankee Stadium field isn't buried beneath a foot of snow. The early portion of the season already requires some strenuous digging to find positive developments. Dylan Bundy has turned in back-to-back quality starts, allowing one earned run (two total) in 13 innings with three walks and 15 strikeouts. He still doesn't have a win,...

Update on Cobb's simulated game

Update on Cobb's simulated game
Alex Cobb's progression toward his Orioles debut continued today without a hitch at the Ed Smith Stadium complex in Sarasota. Facing a batch of Orioles minor leaguers and Mark Trumbo, who's rehabbing his strained right quadriceps muscle, Cobb worked five innings and allowed one run and three hits with two walks and four strikeouts. A club official also passed along that Cobb threw 74 pitches. The progress is significant on multiple fronts. Cobb increased his innings total from four to five...

Talking about Cobb, tonight's matchup and Ysla
While the Orioles prepare to close out their series in Houston today and board a flight to New York, the early schedule unforgiving and unfair to a team that's exhausted itself trying to get its pitching and offense on track - give some love to Mike Wright Jr. if you can spare it - Alex Cobb is back on the mound down in Sarasota and inching closer to his debut. Cobb is scheduled to go five innings in another simulated environment after working four last week. He'll blow past the 48 pitches he...

Orioles and Astros lineups
In an attempt to infuse some energy into a lethargic lineup, Orioles manager Buck Showalter is putting rookie Chance Sisco behind the plate tonight and Rule 5 pick Anthony Santander in right field in the continuation of a three-game series against the Astros. The offense is in a collective funk to start the season, posting a .134/.231/.260 slash line that easily ranks last in the majors. The Orioles have scored only six runs and none of them have come against starters Jake Odorizzi, Kyle...

Wright taking the fifth in Orioles rotation - for now
Breaking camp as the fifth starter in a rotation already creates a layer of uncertainty. When does he debut? How does the rainout day following the opener potentially influence him? How often is he going to be pushed back or skipped? Try walking in Mike Wright Jr.'s shoes while Alex Cobb is throwing down in Sarasota and preparing to join Double-A Bowie's roster. . Wright steps on the mound tonight at Minute Maid Park, in those shoes, focused only on his current assignment against the World...

Orioles acquire left-hander Luis Ysla from Dodgers
It's been a busy transactional day for the Orioles before they open a three-game series in Houston. Already making two earlier moves involving outfielder Michael Saunders and pitcher Stefan Crichton, the Orioles announced early this evening that they acquired left-hander Luis Ysla from the Dodgers for pitcher Jesus Liranzo and assigned him to Double-A Bowie. Ysla, 25, went a combined 1-5 with a 5.28 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in 36 relief appearances at Double-A Portland and Tulsa. He walked 39 batters...

He's walked 20 batters and struck out...

Orioles trade Stefan Crichton to Diamondbacks

Orioles trade Stefan Crichton to Diamondbacks
After designating four pitchers for assignment in order to create room on the 40-man roster prior to opening day, the Orioles have found closure with one of them by orchestrating a trade. Right-hander Stefan Crichton has been dealt to the Diamondbacks for a player to be named later or cash considerations. Crichton was optioned to Triple-A Reno. Crichton, 26, rode the shuttle hard between the majors and Triple-A Norfolk last summer, having six stints with the Orioles, and posted an 8.03 ERA and...

Michael Saunders signs minor league deal with Orioles

Michael Saunders signs minor league deal with Orioles
With previous interest in Michael Saunders carrying over to spring training, the Orioles finally landed the veteran outfielder today by reaching agreement on a minor league contract. Saunders, 31, will report to Triple-A Norfolk. He can earn $1.5 million guaranteed if he reaches the majors. The Orioles negotiated with Saunders' agent at the 2016 Winter Meetings and kept him on their board this spring while searching for another left-handed hitting outfielder. They already traded for Jaycob...

The Sisco bunting controversy and other notes off first series

The Sisco bunting controversy and other notes off first series
While waiting for Gabe Kapler to signal for the other team's reliever ... I was going to devote this blog entry to an assortment of observations on the Orioles' first series of the 2018 season and I intend to stick with the narrative, but only after chiming in on the Twins taking exception to rookie Chance Sisco's bunt single in the ninth inning. Let me set up my mini-rant with a few quotes from the Twins clubhouse, courtesy of their beat writers: "Obviously we're not a fan of it," said...
