A look at the longest O's at-bat of the year, plus farm notes

A look at the longest O's at-bat of the year, plus farm notes
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - On Monday for the Orioles at Tropicana Field, there was a comeback by Baltimore from a 4-0 deficit, there was a starter going seven innings, there was some gas thrown late in the game by bullpen pitchers. But in the end there was an extra-innings loss as the Orioles fell 5-4 in 10 to Tampa Bay. There was also a clutch 13-pitch at-bat in the top of the sixth that was the longest this year by any Oriole. In the sixth, with the O's down a run and Mark Trumbo at second base,...

Remembering a time when Anthony Santander tried to make it as a pitcher

Remembering a time when Anthony Santander tried to make it as a pitcher
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Watching the Orioles' Anthony Santander hit rockets around various ballparks in the second half of this season, it might be hard to imagine a day he tried to make it as a pitcher. Or a day when he was not a switch-hitter. But on a pregame interview yesterday on the Orioles Radio Network, Santander told me that as a teenager in Venezuela, he was trying to get a pro contract as a pitcher. And he didn't come to switch-hitting until a year before he entered pro ball. "I...

More on John Means' emotional win Friday, plus other notes
KANSAS CITY - When the Orioles crushed the Kansas City Royals on Friday night, the offense stood out, producing season highs in runs (14) and hits (21).

After Friday's game, it was learned that Means had been away from the team to return home as his father, Alan, had been diagnosed with cancer. Home for...

Martin embraces family ties to Negro Leagues (plus other notes)
KANSAS CITY - For Orioles shortstop Richie Martin, Friday was not just another day on the baseball calender. It was a special day where he learned more about the grandfather who passed away before he was born and realized further the legacy he carries on in the sport. Martin's granddad, Walter "Bancy" Thomas, played in the Negro Leagues for several seasons and was on the 1945 Kansas City Monarchs. His teammates that season included Hall of Famers Jackie Robinson and Satchel Paige. Thomas...

A look at some of the top pitchers at Delmarva
KANSAS CITY - As the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds charge toward next month's South Atlantic League playoffs we got another reminder this week of how special their pitching staff has been this year. It started Tuesday night with lefty Drew Rom and continued the last two nights with right-handers Gray Fenter and Grayson Rodriguez. The trio combined to pitch 16 no-hit innings, allowing one unearned run with two walks to 24 strikeouts. They seem to be getting better as this season goes on. Behind...

Hanser Alberto is putting the finishing touches on a strong season
The Orioles' Hanser Alberto began play Wednesday night ranked fourth in the American League and 10th in Major League Baseball batting .316. If only the teams that waived him over the winter knew he was capable of that. Alberto's .407 batting average against left-handed pitchers is the highest in MLB among qualifying hitters. If only those teams knew he would do that. After a winter that started with him playing for Texas, Alberto was claimed via waivers by the Yankees, then by the Orioles,...

More on Harvey's wild eighth inning and Mountcastle's MVP
WASHINGTON - On a night the Orioles shut out a hot-hitting Washington Nationals team and starter Aaron Brooks did the heavy lifting for six innings, right-hander Hunter Harvey's eighth inning will be the one remembered around Birdland for a while. Pitching in just his fourth big league game, the kid was called on to protect a 2-0 lead on the road in the eighth. And against a team that was 15-4 in its last 19 games scoring 143 runs. Harvey threw a couple of 98 mph fastballs to pinch-hitter...
