The season officially ends today

The season officially ends today
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - We're reached Game No. 162 in a season that offered such promise in May and a glimmer of hope in August, but otherwise disappointed to the highest degree. It could result in the lowest finish. No playoffs in another odd year. A losing record for the first time since 2011. A clear winter agenda for anyone who bothered to pay the slightest bit of attention. Executive vice president Dan Duquette will list the rotation as the main priority. It also should be the second and...

Orioles avoid shutout but lose again, 4-3 (with quotes)

Orioles avoid shutout but lose again, 4-3 (with quotes)
ST. PETERBURG, Fla. - The Orioles weren't going to get a deep start tonight from Miguel Castro. They knew it was going to be a bullpen game. The only question was how long it would take for the phone to ring. Castro escaped jams in back-to-back innings before Brad Miller broke a scoreless tie in the fourth with a three-run homer, and the Orioles lost again 4-3 before an announced crowd of 15,416 at Tropicana Field. The Orioles have dropped 18 of their last 22 games and are 75-86 overall and...

Showalter on resting players, Jones rejects rebuild (O's down 4-2)

Showalter on resting players, Jones rejects rebuild (O's down 4-2)
ST. PETERBURG, Fla. - Orioles manager Buck Showalter made the usual rounds earlier today to check on the health of certain players and the availability of his relievers. Shortstop Tim Beckham's hamstring tightened on him again last night, and he isn't likely to play again this weekend. Center fielder Adam Jones is resigned to sitting out the entire road trip that wraps up the 2017 season. "I talk to him every day about it," Showalter said. "We get updated. He's played what, 147 games this...

Adam Jones on his season, his future and the club's needs

Adam Jones on his season, his future and the club's needs
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Orioles center fielder Adam Jones remains out of the lineup tonight and won't play again in 2017. Jones hasn't been on the field since Sunday afternoon at Camden Yards, when he received two at-bats before exiting again with soreness in his legs. He left on a roll with eight hits in 18 at-bats over his last five games, but he didn't hit a home run in September. "Physically, I feel better," he said earlier today while meeting with the beat writers on the trip. "I just...

Coolbaugh on Santander: "I like what I see from him"

Coolbaugh on Santander: "I like what I see from him"
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Rule 5 pick Anthony Santander cooled off last night inside Tropicana Field, where it's always 72 degrees and able to withstand heavy rains like the kind that pummeled it for much of the game. Santander had five hits in his last eight at-bats, including three doubles, before going 0-for-4 in the Orioles' 7-0 loss to the Rays. The Orioles were held to four hits and suffered their 11th shutout of the season. Their 80 runs in September are the fewest in the majors. Manager...

Orioles walk toward their 17th loss in 21 games (with quotes)

Orioles walk toward their 17th loss in 21 games (with quotes)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Through four innings of tonight's game against the Rays, Orioles left-hander Wade Miley had struck out six batters and also issued five walks. He kept missing bats and the strike zone. He kept playing good pitcher, bad pitcher, but in a solo act. Miley was making his final start in 2017 and quite possibly his last with the Orioles, who hold a $12 million option for next season. Are they ready to walk away from Miley? Evan Longoria led off the fifth with a home run, Logan...

Castro's first start, Santander's latest start and more (O's down 7-0)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The Orioles haven't made a roster move today. Infielder Steve Wilkerson stopped by Tropicana Field to work out before heading to the Arizona Fall League. He isn't on the bench. A pitcher could be added Saturday with manager Buck Showalter deciding to give Miguel Castro his first major league start. "We were leaning that way," Showalter said. "Roger (McDowell) and I spent a lot of time with all the guys about their history and their innings and everything. He was...

Pedro Álvarez remains the designated hitter, with Mark Trumbo on the bench. Rule 5 pick Anthony Santander is in right field. Adam Jones remains out of the lineup with leg soreness. Double-A Bowie infielder Steve Wilkerson has joined the team, but he isn't listed on the lineup card. He may be here only to work out. Jonathan Schoop is 10-for-27 (.370) with four...

September struggles and the final season series

September struggles and the final season series
The Orioles are down to their last three games of the season and it can't be said that they're stumbling to the finish. To stumble would require a semblance of footing. They've lost 16 of their last 20 games and are 7-18 this month. A nasty and abrupt reversal from their 17-11 August record that raised false hopes. This is more like crawling to the finish line and trying not to be trampled. The pitching staff has registered a 4.94 ERA this season that ranked 27th in the majors before last...

Miguel Castro listed as Saturday starter

Miguel Castro listed as Saturday starter
The Orioles apparently will close out their season this weekend with a new member in their rotation. The Rays are listing Miguel Castro and Chris Archer as Saturday's starters at Tropicana Field. Manager Buck Showalter hinted yesterday that Castro could get the ball despite earlier indications that the Orioles preferred to keep the young right-hander in the bullpen. Tampa Bay's game notes provide confirmation. Never say never with the Orioles, who also are starting Kevin Gausman on Sunday...

This, that and the other

This, that and the other
PITTSBURGH - While the Orioles continue their evaluation of Austin Hays as a potential starting outfielder on opening day, they also must decide whether he should play left or right. Hays has made nine starts and 14 appearances in right with the Orioles and four starts and five appearances in center, but there's been talk of Trey Mancini switching sides with him. It certainly isn't because of Hays' arm, which is a plus tool. No matter the arrangement, an outfield consisting of Mancini, Hays...

Orioles fall 5-3 for 16th loss in 20 games (with quotes)
PITTSBURGH - The games still count for the Orioles, but so do the impressions made by young players who are getting an opportunity to compete with nothing on the line beyond pride. The Orioles can distract themselves from another defeat by focusing on the production offered tonight by catcher Chance Sisco and outfielders Anthony Santander and Austin Hays. They can peer into the future while the present continues to disappoint. Gabriel Ynoa allowed runs in all three of his innings before being...

"An inconsistent two months" for Hellickson (O's lose 5-3)

"An inconsistent two months" for Hellickson (O's lose 5-3)
PITTSBURGH - Jeremy Hellickson confirmed this afternoon that he's not expecting to make a start this weekend. The Orioles are shutting him down. Hellickson has some tightness in his back that surfaced on Sept. 16 in New York. He turned in a quality start in his last outing against the Rays at Camden Yards, allowing three runs over six innings in a 9-6 loss. Wade Miley is starting Friday night's series opener at Tropicana Field and Kevin Gausman is likely to start on Sunday. Hellickson isn't...

Gausman expected to start Sunday (and other notes)
PITTSBURGH - So much for Kevin Gausman making his final start last night. Gausman is expected to pitch Sunday against the Rays at Tropicana Field to wrap up the 2017 season. He'd be working on regular rest after allowing six runs last night in four innings. "He'd like to pitch one more time," said manager Buck Showalter. "We'll see how we get through. That's one of the things we're contemplating." Gausman has equaled his 2016 innings total with 179 2/3. He's made 33 starts, three more...

Possible roster addition and Ynoa's latest opportunity

Possible roster addition and Ynoa's latest opportunity
PITTSBURGH - The Orioles may bring up a pitcher from their minicamp before tonight's game against the Pirates, which closes out their brief interleague series. The candidates include Alec Asher, Stefan Crichton, Chris Lee and Yefry Ramirez, the latter having made six starts at Double-A Bowie after the Orioles acquired him from the Yankees on July 31 for international signing bonus pool money. All four pitchers are on the 40-man roster. Asher and Crichton have been used by the Orioles this...

McCutchen's 8 RBIs lead Pirates over Orioles 10-1 (with quotes)
PITTSBURGH - The Orioles broke out a lineup tonight that included three rookie outfielders for the first time in 44 years. A veteran outfielder on the other side struck the biggest blows. Andrew McCutchen hit his first grand slam in nine major league seasons and finished with eight RBIs, and Kevin Gausman's final start of 2017 ended with the Orioles losing to the Pirates 10-1 before an announced crowd of 19,318 at PNC Park. Gausman allowed two runs in the first inning on RBI doubles by...

PITTSBURGH - The Orioles begin tonight's game against the Pirates with four rookies in their lineup - center fielder Austin Hays, left fielder Trey Mancini, catcher Chance Sisco and Rule 5 pick Anthony Santander, who's starting in right field. An all-rookie outfield? Doesn't happen every night. We go back to the balancing act between putting your best foot forward and evaluating younger players who might be part of the opening day roster in 2018. "It depends how you define 'best foot...

Hellickson latest to come out of rotation (plus other notes)

Hellickson latest to come out of rotation (plus other notes)
PITTSBURGH - The rotation for the final series of the year at Tropicana Field probably won't include Jeremy Hellickson. The veteran right-hander, who's posted a 6.97 ERA in 10 starts with the Orioles, is bothered by tightness in his back and could be shut down. "He's been fighting through it," said manager Buck Showalter. "He's kind of fought through a lot of different things that all pitchers do between starts, but he was talking to Richie (Bancells) about it today that usually it's a...
