Nolan Reimold said he feels he can avoid the disabled list

Nolan Reimold said he feels he can avoid the disabled list
He is not in tonight's starting lineup, but Orioles outfielder Nolan Reimold is hopeful that he will soon be in there. For now, he feels like his neck spasms are making progress to that end and that he will avoid going on the disabled list. "I assume I can and am going to (avoid the DL). I think I'm almost ready," Reimold said. "I think we are being cautious. It was there when I played in Anaheim (on Friday) and then it just tightened up real bad after the game and the next morning. I...

The 2012 Delmarva Shorebirds: Young and fun to watch

The 2012 Delmarva Shorebirds: Young and fun to watch
I kind of came to this conclusion long before yesterday, but being at Perdue Stadium on Tuesday afternoon and night reinforced the thought: The Delmarva Shorebirds are going to be an exciting young team to watch this year and that team may have a heckuva season in 2012. Led by a young pitching staff filled with good arms, some of the organization's top picks from the 2011 draft and a speedy outfield, I think there is a decent chance that Delmarva, which is 10-8 now, could really take off over...

Dylan Bundy talks about tonight's strong outing for Delmarva

Dylan Bundy talks about tonight's strong outing for Delmarva
SALISBURY, Md. - After another outing where he was dominant and once again didn't allow a single baserunner, Dylan Bundy said he is not looking down the road for a possible promotion within the Orioles farm system. He said for now, the Orioles have not said if or when he will move to a higher level. "Nope. I really don't even want to get into that," Bundy said. "It's whatever they decide and I'm happy with it. I'm happy here, getting all my innings in, getting used to pro ball and...

Another dominant outing for Dylan Bundy (updated)

Another dominant outing for Dylan Bundy (updated)
SALISBURY, Md - Dylan Bundy was clearly up for the challenge tonight in his latest outing for the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds. Matched up with Matt Barnes, Boston's first-round pick (No. 19 overall) last year, Bundy retired all 12 Greenville batters he faced with six strikeouts over four perfect innings. The game was scoreless heading to the top of the fifth as Barnes fanned nine Shorebirds over four shutout frames. Bundy seemed to get better as the game wore on as he needed 15 pitches in...

Ryan Minor on Dylan Bundy: "He's going to be a special one"

Ryan Minor on Dylan Bundy: "He's going to be a special one"
SALISBURY, Md. - It is hard to find someone that has seen Dylan Bundy pitch this year that is not raving about his talent and work ethic. The Orioles' 2011 first-round draft pick has pitched nine hitless and shutout innings in three outings so far for the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds as he prepares tonight to face Greenville at 7:05 at Perdue Stadium in his fourth professional start. Delmarva manager Ryan Minor has seen a lot of young hot shots come along over the years and said Bundy, it...

Marquee matchup: Dylan Bundy vs. Matt Barnes tonight at Delmarva

Marquee matchup: Dylan Bundy vs. Matt Barnes tonight at Delmarva
They have been two of the best pitchers in the Single-A South Atlantic League this year, and tonight they face each other at Salisbury's Perdue Stadium when the Delmarva Shorebirds host the Greenville Drive. It's Dylan Bundy making his fourth start for the Shorebirds and right-hander Matt Barnes for Greenville, a Red Sox affiliate. The two pitchers were both first-round picks last year, with Bundy No. 4 and Barnes No. 19, and have combined to pitch 25 shutout innings this season. The...

Nolan Reimold starts fast, now can he stay on the field?

Nolan Reimold starts fast, now can he stay on the field?
So far, during this 2012 season, it seems that leg cramps and neck spasms can slow Nolan Reimold's bat better than American League pitchers can. Flashing some of the potential that Orioles fans have seen before, Reimold is off to a fast start - when he can get on the field. In 11 games and 46 at-bats, he is batting .370 with four doubles, five homers, nine runs scored and a stolen base. He has a slugging percentage of .783 and an OPS of 1.166. If he had enough at-bats to quality for the...

Chen was good while Reynolds still is struggling

Chen was good while Reynolds still is struggling
In his first three starts as an Oriole, pitcher Wei-Yin Chen is 1-0 with an ERA of 2.60. He has allowed two earned runs or less in each outing and the Orioles have won two of his three starts. Chen recorded his first career quality start Sunday in Anaheim, pitching a season-high 6 1/3 innings. He has a 15-to-6, strikeout-to-walk ratio in 17 1/3 innings. There are certainly some things to like about Chen. They include the fact he is left-handed, is just 26 years old, has some solid experience...

Nick Markakis ends RBI drought as Orioles beat Angels

Nick Markakis ends RBI drought as Orioles beat Angels
Nick Markakis began today in a 6-for-33 stretch, without an RBI over his last eight games and with just one over his past 13 contests. But the Orioles right fielder delivered huge hits this afternoon in the eighth and 10th innings as the Orioles beat the Angels 3-2 in 10 innings. The win allowed the Orioles to finish their trip through Toronto, Chicago and Anaheim with a 6-4 record. The last time the Orioles had a winning record on a 10-game trip, they went 6-4 at Toronto, Minnesota and Boston...

The offense continues to struggle so far today

The offense continues to struggle so far today
The Orioles have not put any runs on the board so far today through five innings against Angels right-hander Dan Haren. They trail 1-0 after four and a half innings. The Orioles are just 3-for-17 at bat today with three singles and eight strikeouts and have put just one runner in scoring position. The Orioles' bats have been scuffling a bit since that late-game homer explosion Monday night at Chicago. In the five games since, they have scored just 15 runs on 31 hits with a team average of...

Dontrelle Willis moved to the restricted list at Triple-A

Dontrelle Willis moved to the restricted list at Triple-A
The Orioles have placed left-hander Dontrelle Willis on the restricted list at Triple-A Norfolk. He had been on the minor league seven-day disabled list with a left forearm strain, but was moved to the restricted list Friday. When asked if Willis is healthy enough to pitch now, a club official said, "Yes," but would not comment on exactly why Willis is on the restricted list. I'll make an assumption here that everything is not smooth for some reason right now between Willis and the club...

After falling out of first place, O's look to regroup today in Anaheim

After falling out of first place, O's look to regroup today in Anaheim
After falling behind early Friday night and then watching Jake Arrieta give up a 2-0 lead in the last of the fifth last night, the Orioles need a win today against the Angels to avoid being swept three straight for the second time in 2012. In the last few days - almost suddenly, it seems - the Orioles have had their share of problems on offense, defense and with their starting pitching. The offense: Over the last five games, the Orioles have scored just 15 runs on 31 hits with a team batting...

Angels come up with big fifth inning to beat the Orioles

Angels come up with big fifth inning to beat the Orioles
For four innings tonight, it looked like Jake Arrieta was pitching with some dominant stuff in Anaheim. But then he failed to make it through the last of the fifth inning. Matt Wieters gave the Orioles a 2-0 lead on a home run, getting a green light on a 3-0 pitch from Jered Weaver in the top of the fifth, but then Los Angeles scored five in its half against Arrieta on the way to a 6-3 win to take the first two games of this series. This means the Orioles will not win all three series on a...

Angels knock Arrieta out in the fifth to take the lead

Angels knock Arrieta out in the fifth to take the lead
It is not often you see a pitcher cruising with what looks like some dominant stuff suddenly give up five runs. But it happened tonight to Jake Arrieta and the Orioles. After Matt Wieters got the green light and gave the Orioles a 2-0 lead on a 3-0 pitch against Jered Weaver in the top of the fifth, Arrieta failed to make it through the last of the fifth. He had a one-hit shutout and had retired 12 batters in a row heading into that half inning. But he then gave up five singles, three walks,...

O's will not play error-free ball tonight (Wieters homers for 2-0 lead)

O's will not play error-free ball tonight (Wieters homers for 2-0 lead)
The Orioles are 3-0 this year when they play error-free ball but they won't add to that tonight. Jake Arrieta bounced a pickoff throw past Chris Davis at first base in the first inning for the Orioles' first error of the game and 17th on the season. Arrieta was able to strand a runner at second base in the first. Tonight's game is scoreless heading to the third inning with Arrieta matching up against Jered Weaver. Nick Johnson grounded out his first time up to go 0-for-21 on the year. The...

Josh Bell traded to Arizona (updated)

Josh Bell traded to Arizona (updated)
The Orioles have traded Josh Bell to the Arizona Diamondbacks, a team source has confirmed. Bell was designated for assignment by the team Tuesday. He was hitting just .094 (3-for-32) this season with Triple-A Norfolk with one homer, three RBIs and an OPS of .506. The 25-year-old Bell hit .164 in 26 games and 61 Orioles at-bats last year and hit .253 with 19 homers and 57 RBIs for the Tides in 2011. He came to the Orioles from the Los Angeles Dodgers with pitcher Steve Johnson, who is now...

Checking some stats on the pitching, defense and minors

Checking some stats on the pitching, defense and minors
While awaiting tonight's second game of the series in Anaheim, it is clear that the Orioles need to begin to come up with some better pitching and defense pretty soon. Pitching and defense were staples of the club during the glory years of the '60s and '70s, but is eluding them in recent games. The Orioles made three errors last night. In addition to that, the club has just two quality starts from pitchers over the last 11 games and the starters' ERA is 5.69 in that stretch. Nolan...

ESPN analyst criticizes O's handling of Bundy

ESPN analyst criticizes O's handling of Bundy
Whenever ESPN's Keith Law speaks, it seems, the Orioles fans listen. He got them stirred up when he criticized the team's signing of Vlad Guerrero before last year at a time when many fans were excited over the addition. But while Law now looked right with that opinion, he spoke again on the Orioles this week and I think he took a huge swing and a miss. The topic was pitcher Dylan Bundy, the Orioles' 2011 first-round draft pick. Bundy has pitched nine hitless and scoreless innings with 15...
