Showalter speaks after 7-0 loss

Showalter speaks after 7-0 loss
Five hits on opening day, three last night and three more today - the last two coming in the ninth inning. The Orioles didn't trend in the right direction in the first series of the 2018 season and proved again that momentum in baseball is the next day's starting pitcher. And the one after that. Walk-off home runs don't influence the rest of the schedule. Fortunate to avoid a sweep by the Twins, the Orioles lost today 7-0 and dropped the last two games of the series. Twins right-hander...

Gausman serves up three homers in four innings (O's lose 7-0)

Gausman serves up three homers in four innings (O's lose 7-0)
Andrew Cashner allowed three home runs last night in the first four innings in his Orioles debut. On the mound less than 24 hours later, Kevin Gausman served up three homers within three innings while falling behind the Twins 6-0. Gausman lasted four innings, one fewer than Cashner. He was charged with six runs and seven hits with two walks, five strikeouts and two wild pitches to go along with the three home runs. Rule 5 pick Pedro Araujo entered the game in the fifth after Gausman threw 73...

Trumbo on his recovery, and other notes (O's down 6-0)

Trumbo on his recovery, and other notes (O's down 6-0)
A peek ahead to upcoming roster adjustments for the Orioles must include designated hitter Mark Trumbo, who's making significant progress in his recovery from a Grade 2 strain of his right quadriceps muscle. Trumbo will fly down to Sarasota after today's game and take batting practice on Monday. He could play in his first extended spring training game on Friday. "See how everything checks out and keep going," he said. Trumbo said he could come off the disabled list "fairly soon." "Need...

Wrapping up 6-2 loss

Wrapping up 6-2 loss
The Orioles followed a dramatic 11th-inning walk-off home run on opening day by almost being no-hit tonight by the Twins. Kyle Gibson handled the first six innings, walking five batters and throwing 102 pitches. Ryan Pressly retired the first five batters he faced, but he walked Manny Machado with two outs in the eighth and Jonathan Schoop grounded a single up the middle on the next pitch, an 89 mph slider that got through the infield and drew an ovation for what remained of an announced crowd...

Cashner surrenders three home runs in Orioles debut

Cashner surrenders three home runs in Orioles debut
Three pitches from Andrew Cashner tonight and his first strikeout with the Orioles was in the books. Three batters into the game and he allowed his first home run. There would be more strikeouts and more home runs for Cashner over five innings, and an unsuccessful debut in front of the home crowd. Cashner was charged with five runs (four earned) and six hits, with two walks, five strikeouts and three home runs. He threw 79 pitches, 53 for strikes. Rule 5 pick Nestor Cortes Jr. made his major...

Brach hoping to get another save chance tonight (O's lose 6-2)

Brach hoping to get another save chance tonight (O's lose 6-2)
Though the blown save came on opening day, Orioles reliever Brad Brach is treating it like only one game out of 162. Time to move on from it. And if there's another save situation tonight, he wants the ball. Brach gave up Robbie Grossman's two-run single in the ninth inning Thursday that erased a 2-0 lead and set up Adam Jones' dramatic walk-off homer in the 11th. He walked two batters, but he also was victimized by a chopper that first baseman Chris Davis lost in the lights and Grossman's...

Notes on Cobb, Trumbo, Britton, upcoming starters and more
Alex Cobb isn't expected to debut with the Orioles before April 14. Cobb worked four innings and threw 48 pitches yesterday in extended spring training in Sarasota. He'll build up to five and six innings in his next two outings. The veteran right-hander must be placed on Double-A Bowie's roster on April 9, but he probably won't pitch in an Eastern League game. Cobb isn't allowed to use a major league baseball since he isn't on an injury rehab assignment, though the Orioles tried to obtain...

Gentry's latest chance and tonight's pitching matchup

Gentry's latest chance and tonight's pitching matchup
Craig Gentry is developing a knack for signing minor league deals with the Orioles in February and breaking camp with the team. Not the easiest path to take and certainly not his first choice, but he's really making the most of it. Gentry's first start last season occurred on April 9 after coming off the bench in four games with no plate appearances. He was in the opening day lineup Thursday afternoon and made a couple of outstanding plays in right field in a 3-2, 11-inning win over the...

Orioles hoping to be defensive in 2018

Orioles hoping to be defensive in 2018
Manager Buck Showalter gets another day to plot his Game 2 lineup after the second-guessers descended upon him in the opener. Chris Davis batting leadoff wasn't the only move that stirred the masses. Craig Gentry was given the start in right field over Colby Rasmus and switch-hitting spring training darling Anthony Santander. We'll never know whether Rasmus or Santander would have caught Eddie Rosario's fly ball to the track in right-center field leading off the top of the second inning, but...

Showalter on Jones, Bundy, bullpen and 3-2 11-inning win

Showalter on Jones, Bundy, bullpen and 3-2 11-inning win
Adam Jones saw one pitch today from Twins reliever Fernando Rodney leading off the bottom of the 11th inning. That's all he needed. Jones demolished a 92 mph fastball, sending it into the left field seats to give the Orioles a 3-2 win on opening day and the center fielder his first walk-off hit since a single against the Mariners in 2012. This is the third career walk-off home run for Jones, who's batting .341 with six doubles, one triple, two home runs, eight RBIs and seven runs scored in 11...

O'Day's advice to Araujo: "Don't trip" (Jones walkoff homer)

O'Day's advice to Araujo: "Don't trip" (Jones walkoff homer)
Reliever Pedro Araujo, the Rule 5 pick who's making the jump from Single-A Myrtle Beach to the majors, came out of the Orioles bullpen for the first time this afternoon. It wasn't a save situation. Araujo didn't protect a slim lead and no one had to save him. Veteran Darren O'Day played the role of adviser to Araujo, with more tips to come later in the day. The first step was to make sure he didn't lose his footing upon being introduced to the crowd. "My first advice is don't trip going...

Showalter on roster moves, Davis leading off and more
The Orioles set their 25-man roster today shortly before the noon deadline and the moves included the removals of pitchers Alec Asher, Stefan Crichton, Michael Kelly and Jesus Liranzo from the 40-man roster to accommodate Colby Rasmus, Danny Valencia, Pedro Álvarez and Craig Gentry. Four pitchers for four position players. "Our hope is that they clear and put them back in the system," said manager Buck Showalter. "If not them, then who? I know there was a lot of discussion back and forth....

Orioles lineup includes Chris Davis leading off (with 40-man moves)
Chris Davis is leading off today for the Orioles as they open against the Twins at Camden Yards. It wasn't just talk and speculation. Davis has never batted first during the regular season. He had a handful of chances toward the end of spring training. Craig Gentry is in right field instead of Colby Rasmus, likely a concession to Twins starter Jake Odorizzi's reverse splits. However, Pedro Álvarez is the designated hitter. For the Orioles Chris Davis 1B Manny Machado SS Jonathan Schoop 2B...

More on Bundy, Davis and the catching situation
Dylan Bundy already had expressed his opinions back in Sarasota on being the opening day starter, getting in touch with whatever feelings were circulating inside him. As a light rain fell yesterday at Camden Yards, Bundy again had to sort through his emotions after finishing a pickoff drill. Not much changed besides the weather. Asked if anything seemed different to him now that he was in Baltimore, his assignment less than 24 hours away, Bundy said, "No, it doesn't feel much different. Just...

Workout day notes on Beckham, Mancini, Davis, lineup and more
Today's rain forced the Orioles inside to take batting practice after the Twins were able to hit on the field. Pitchers squeezed in some defensive drills before heading for cover. "The weather is getting progressively worse," said manager Buck Showalter. "It's supposed to be good tomorrow, or better temperature-wise. I'd like for that snow to melt. That's not a good look." Showalter won't reveal his lineup for opening day until rosters are submitted, with a noon deadline on...

Bancells chosen to throw out ceremonial first pitch (Mesa update)

Bancells chosen to throw out ceremonial first pitch (Mesa update)
Whenever Richie Bancells appeared on the field and play was halted, it usually drew concerns based on his role as Orioles head athletic trainer and the likelihood that somone had sustained an injury. Seeing him bolt out of the dugout was a bad sign. Not anymore. Bancells, who retired after the 2017 season, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch Thursday as part of the opening day festivities at Camden Yards. His appearance will bring an ovation from the crowd instead of hushed...

Wondering about the lineup as opening day approaches
The Orioles will work out later today at Camden Yards in their final preparation for Thursday's season opener against the Twins. Unless you count batting practice the following day, of course. But this afternoon marks the last time that the Orioles gather before the games are real. The roster appears to be set. The Orioles aren't expected to make any late moves to alter it, though no one is issuing promises. Manager Buck Showalter told the media Monday in Norfolk that he sat with executive...
