Mike Elias on first day of draft and O's three picks

Mike Elias on first day of draft and O's three picks
The first night of the First-Year Player Draft found the Orioles select three position players in a catcher No. 1 overall followed by a high school shortstop and college center fielder. There were no pitchers selected yet by the Orioles and the draft began with the O's on the clock for the second time in team history. The club selected Oregon State junior catcher Adley Rutschman with the No. 1 pick. He became the first catcher taken 1/1 since Minnesota selected Joe Mauer in 2001. After his...

Elias on Rutschman: "It's a total package" (updated)

Elias on Rutschman: "It's a total package" (updated)
In a live interview tonight on "MASN All Access" coverage of the First-Year Player Draft, Orioles executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias explained his reasons for making Oregon State catcher Adley Rutschman the No. 1 pick. "Well, just the switch-hitter (aspect). A polished college bat," said Elias, minutes after making the selection. "The approach, the plus hit, plus power from both sides. Really, the mental makeup, I think, is a separator with him. He brings leadership...

Draft day arrives: O's pick No. 1 for second time in team history

Draft day arrives: O's pick No. 1 for second time in team history
When you select with the No. 1 pick in the First-Year Player Draft, as the Orioles will do tonight, you could select a future Hall of Famer like Ken Griffey Jr. or Chipper Jones. You could also select Matt Bush, Matt Anderson or Brien Taylor. Who? Exactly. There are no guarantees, no sure things, no such thing as can't miss. They can all miss. You aim for the stars and hope you don't just produce wind with a big swing and miss. But the baseball draft is very different from all others. You...

Advanced data and analytics will factor in big this draft

Advanced data and analytics will factor in big this draft
As with any and every decision the Orioles make under their new front office, advanced data and analytics will factor into the Monday's First-Year Player Draft as well. There is much more data available on college players, but there is also some available for high school players. On MASN's "O's Xtra" on Saturday, Mike Bordick interviewed Sig Mejdal, the Orioles' vice president and assistant general manager for analytics. How much will the data factor in for this draft? "It's quite a...

O's game blog: Looking for a series win against the Giants
After their 9-6 win over the San Francisco Giants last night the Orioles will win this series if they get a victory either today or tomorrow. That would give the team its first series victory since April 22-24 at Oriole Park against the Chicago White Sox. The Orioles scored just seven runs in three games earlier this week against Detroit. Last night they had eight by the second inning. Their night included Dwight Smith Jr.'s grand slam in the first, Trey Mancini's two-run shot in the second...

O's game blog: Andrew Cashner pitches series opener
After losing two of three to Detroit to start this homestand, the Orioles host the San Francisco Giants this weekend. It's their second interleague series after losing two of three at Colorado. The Orioles last met the Giants in August 2016, and they won two of three in Baltimore. They have hosted San Francisco at Oriole Park just once before and lost two of three in June 2004 when Barry Bonds hit two homers and drove in five runs. Right-hander Andrew Cashner (5-2, 4.55 ERA) will take the...

Mancini on Yaz, Blaine Knight on Grayson Rodriguez

Mancini on Yaz, Blaine Knight on Grayson Rodriguez
When the Orioles host the San Francisco Giants this weekend, a few members of the Orioles 2013 draft class, to include Austin Wynns and Trey Mancini, plan to get together with the 14th-round pick that year. That is outfielder Mike Yastrzemski. A non-roster invitee to O's spring training this year, Yaz went 3-for-18 (.167) in spring games, was optioned to minors camp at Twin Lakes park and on March 23 was traded by the Orioles to the Giants for pitcher Tyler Herb, who is 3-2 with a 5.06 ERA for...

One that got away: O's lose lead in the eighth and tie in ninth in loss

One that got away: O's lose lead in the eighth and tie in ninth in loss
For the Orioles, it was another night of strong pitching by left-hander John Means. He was on his way to his sixth win with a strong six-inning outing and a one-run lead. But Mychal Givens, tasked with pitching a second inning, gave up a game-tying home run. Branden Kline, tasked with holding the tie, gave up a two-run homer in the ninth and Detroit stormed back to win. Scoring three times the last two innings, Detroit beat the Orioles 4-2 tonight at Camden Yards. The Orioles were going for...

Just like on the farm: Austin Wynns catches John Means tonight

Just like on the farm: Austin Wynns catches John Means tonight
When Austin Wynns catches lefty John Means tonight for the Orioles in the Detroit series finale, it will be the first time he's caught Means in the bigs this year. But far from their first time ever. Wynns caught Means' big league debut late last year at Boston and this pairing took place often on the farm. Wynns wasn't even sure how many times he has caught Means over the years - too many to even hazard a guess - but he knows him very well and it's been a lot. This will be a comfortable...

Knight and Sedlock check out the Yard, plus more from Stewart
The Orioles welcomed two young pitchers from the Single-A Frederick Keys last night as right-handers Blaine Knight and Cody Sedlock came to Camden Yards on an off-night for their team. Before the game, they met some Orioles players, saw the sights at Camden Yards and did a round of interviews. Knight, drafted in round three last year out of the University of Arkansas, made five starts at Single-A Delmarva to begin this season, pitched to an ERA of 0.68 and was promoted to Single-A Frederick.

Matthew Boyd outduels Dylan Bundy as Tigers even series

Matthew Boyd outduels Dylan Bundy as Tigers even series
Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy threw a strong game, recorded a quality start and picked up his 500th career strikeout tonight. And DJ Stewart had three hits in his season debut. But Detroit lefty Matthew Boyd outdueled Bundy and overcame Stewart's strong night. Boyd threw scoreless ball over six innings plus two batters as the Tigers beat the Orioles 3-0 to even this three-game set a win each. The rubber match is Wednesday night. Detroit, which had lost three in a row and 12 of its past 13,...

O's game blog: Dylan Bundy faces Tigers at Oriole Park
The Orioles last had a two-game winning streak on May 6 when they wrapped up wins versus Tampa Bay and Boston around a rainout. They'll try for two in a row tonight when they host Detroit at Camden Yards. Renato Núñez hit a two-run homer, his 13th, and Jonathan Villar's 456-foot solo shot was No. 7 in Monday's 5-3 win over the Tigers at Oriole Park. Núñez has hit five homers his last six games and six in his last eight. Nunez has recorded an RBI in a career-high six straight...

DJ Stewart talks about getting his call to the Orioles

DJ Stewart talks about getting his call to the Orioles
DJ Stewart got into 17 games in the major leagues last September, batting .250 (10-for-40) with three doubles, three home runs and 10 RBIs after joining the Orioles' expanded roster and making his major league debut on Sept. 12. It was exciting to be called to the majors. But when Stewart found out he was coming to join the Orioles today from Triple-A Norfolk, it was a different feeling - and, he said, an even better excitement level for him. And he's starting tonight in right field, batting...

Remembering draft day: The O's took Dylan Bundy No. 4 in 2011
The Orioles are now days away from making the first pick in the first round of the First-Year Player Draft. That selection will be made on Monday night. The Orioles hold the No. 1 overall pick for just the second time since the draft began in 1965. In 1989 they chose LSU right-hander Ben McDonald 1/1. In the Orioles clubhouse this week the player that can most relate to being taken with the first pick is pitcher Dylan Bundy, who came close to that. He was the No. 4 overall pick out of Owassa...

Straily solid in relief in win, O's make roster moves (updated)

Straily solid in relief in win, O's make roster moves (updated)
When the first two hitters he faced today combined to produce a run, it looked like right-hander Dan Straily might have another rough outing. But he turned it around and gave the Orioles a solid long-relief job as the Orioles beat the Tigers 5-3 at Oriole Park. As the Orioles won for just the third time in 14 games, Straily allowed just one run over four innings. He began the game with an ERA of 9.09 overall and 12.09 at home and had recently been moved from the starting rotation. In fact,...

Hyde on Givens' struggles, Trumbo's return (game update)
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said after his recent struggles that reliever Mychal Givens - he was on the mound for two walk-off losses at Colorado - may pitch in lower-leverage situations in the short term moving forward. Over his last four games Givens has allowed eight runs on seven hits and six walks in three innings. He's suffered two blown saves and three losses in this span. "I think it's just command," Hyde said this morning. "I look at his numbers at this point last year and he's...
