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

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)

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...

O's game blog: The homestand begins against Detroit
After losing two of three at Colorado in a quick road trip two times zone away, the Orioles return home this afternoon to host the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers (19-31) will be at Camden Yards for three games and, after Thursday's off day, the San Francisco Giants play three in Baltimore starting Friday night to complete a six-game homestand. The Orioles (16-37) are 6-19 at home and have lost eight of the last nine games at Camden Yards. They were swept four straight at home by the New York...

O's head home reeling, Lowther duels Mize, Yaz in the show

O's head home reeling, Lowther duels Mize, Yaz in the show
They rallied from 5-1 and 6-4 deficits to take the lead in the top of the eighth. But they lost again in a walk-off defeat in the last of the ninth. The Orioles' latest gut-punch loss was their second walk-off loss in the weekend series wrapped around a win at Colorado. At least they got the win, but late Sunday afternoon it sure felt like they should have had two at Coors Field. Mychal Givens is still struggling and probably could use at least two days off at this point. Maybe more. The O's...

O's game blog: Looking for a series win in Colorado
The Orioles beat Colorado last night 9-6 and produced a season-high 17 hits. That sets them up with a chance to win the series today at Coors Field in the series finale. The club's last series win was at home versus the Chicago White Sox April 22-24. Since then they have lost seven series and tied one. The Orioles' Renato Núñez has homered in four straight games, the longest streak by an Oriole since Jonathan Schoop homered in five straight from July 22-27, 2018. It is tied for the...

Talking homers allowed with a catcher, plus farm notes

Talking homers allowed with a catcher, plus farm notes
Whenever an Orioles pitcher gives up a homer - and they've allowed the most in the majors this year - there is always a catcher on the other end waiting for a pitch that never gets to his mitt. The catcher can be just as frustrated as anyone that the pitch went out and Pedro Severino has been there, done that this year for the Orioles. "We all feel really bad because we don't want to miss (the location of) pitches," he told me recently. "This is the big leagues man, we are making mistakes...

O's game blog: Cashner has four quality starts his last five games
With a record of 15-36 and without a win in eight days, the Orioles take the field tonight at Coors Field against Colorado. They are out to snap a seven-game losing streak following Friday's 8-6 walk-off loss. O's pitchers allowed four homers Friday - two each to Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story - and they lead the majors with 111 through 51 games. Seattle ranks second in the majors with 92 allowed. Baltimore has a home ERA of 6.43, yielding 2.56 homers per game at Oriole Park. Their road ERA...

Delmarva manager on Rodriguez, Hall and more (plus O's notes)

Delmarva manager on Rodriguez, Hall and more (plus O's notes)
It has been a little over two weeks since my trek to Salisbury, Md. and Perdue Stadium to see up close how the Orioles' Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds affiliate had gotten off to a remarkable 24-4 start. The Shorebirds were playing at a .857 winning percentage through 28 games and they were obviously going to cool off some. But it hasn't been much. After last night's 12-2 home win over Lakewood, the Shorebirds are 36-10 (.783). That is still easily the best-record in all of minor league full...

O's game blog: Orioles make first trip to Colorado in 15 years
Trying to snap a season-long six-game losing streak, the Orioles are in Colorado for a three-game weekend series. The Orioles were swept at home in a four-game series by the New York Yankees that ended yesterday. After this quick one-series road trip, they'll be back at home Monday afternoon. This series marks just the second trip for the Orioles to Coors Field in Colorado. The O's only other visit to the park came in June 2004. The Orioles lost the first two games of that series, then won...

As the losses mount, how is Birdland dealing with them?

As the losses mount, how is Birdland dealing with them?
So the Orioles had chances to win a couple of games in the series with the New York Yankees, but they went 0-4. They've now lost six in a row and take a 15-35 record into their game in Colorado tonight. As the losses mount, some fans in Birdland are venting, but to me, it appears a large segment of Birdland expected exactly this. They knew rebuilding would be painful in the won-loss column and they actually get it. They want to see some positives and they have and they are not yet getting too...

O's tie it in eighth, but lose in ninth to Yankees for four-game sweep

O's tie it in eighth, but lose in ninth to Yankees for four-game sweep
Down to their final six outs to avoid a four-game sweep, the Orioles bat came to life today. They tied the game. But that just led to another frustrating loss when right-hander Mychal Givens walked in the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth. The New York Yankees won 6-5 to complete a four-game sweep and improve to 7-0 this year at Camden Yards and to 10-2 versus the Orioles with nine straight wins. They've won 12 in a row in Baltimore dating to last year. Givens came on in the ninth after the...

O's game blog: Needing a win to avoid a four-game sweep
The Orioles need a win this afternoon to avoid getting swept in a series for the fifth time this year. The first four have come twice against New York and twice against Minnesota. The Orioles lost three straight at Camden Yards to the Yankees from April 4-7. They were swept in a doubleheader, which technically counts as a series, on May 15 at Yankee Stadium. The Orioles are 3-10-2 in 15 series this year, going 1-5-1 at home and 2-5-1 on the road. Today they are trying to break a five-game...

Mike Elias on Triple-A Norfolk players, plus some Yankees-O's notes
A couple of hours before they took the field last night for Triple-A Norfolk, Orioles executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias said some nice things about catcher Chance Sisco and outfielder DJ Stewart. He indicated the Orioles are watching them closely, have noticed the strong seasons they are having on the farm and could be calling them up. Maybe sooner than later. Then last night, that duo went out and combined for five of Norfolk's eight hits in an 8-4 loss to Durham at...

Orioles can't climb out of big early hole in latest loss to Yankees

Orioles can't climb out of big early hole in latest loss to Yankees
There were more New York Yankees homers. The O's starter didn't pitch deep into the game. The Orioles lost to the Yankees again at Oriole Park with a familiar script. Swept here three straight by New York early last month, the Orioles lost 7-5 tonight and have lost the first three of a four-game series that concludes Thursday afternoon. Struggling right-hander Dan Straily got hit around again at Camden Yards as New York opened a 6-1 lead in the fourth. Straily lasted just four innings and...

O's game blog: It's Straily against Sabathia at Camden Yards
After losing by 10-7 and 11-4 the last two nights, the Orioles host the New York Yankees again tonight. It's the third contest of a four-game series. The outlook doesn't look too positive for the O's tonight. Right-hander Dan Straily (1-3, 8.51 ERA), who has been struggling, especially at home, goes against a Yankees team that enjoys mashing homers at Oriole Park. But that's why they play the games, so we're about to find out how this is going to go. Straily has been a big disappointment...

Elias on "largest international signing period" club has ever had
While the Orioles are struggling at the major league level and have lost seven of eight and 17 of 22 games to fall to 15-33, the ball is rolling behind the scenes to continue to acquire young amateur talent, both on the domestic and international fronts. During a wide-ranging interview with reporters this afternoon, executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias updated the club's efforts. Not only do the Orioles have the top pick June 3 in the First-Year Player Draft, but a month...

Núñez trying to work out of extended slump

Núñez trying to work out of extended slump
When Monday's game against the New York Yankees began, Renato Núñez saw his batting average down to .211 and his OPS at .632. He had just three hits his last 47 at-bats and six in his previous 68. But Núñez not only got two extra-base hits in that game, he drew two walks. This is a player who recently had a stretch of 18 games without drawing one walk. But Monday he hit a solo homer and added a double in three at-bats. It was his first multi-hit game since May 1. Over the weekend,...

Hess allows nine runs in O's loss to Yankees

Hess allows nine runs in O's loss to Yankees
The 2019 season was off to a good start for Orioles right-hander David Hess. Two scoreless in relief on opening day followed by 6 1/3 no-hit innings in Toronto. But since then it's been mostly a series of shaky pitching marked by opponent home runs. That trend continued tonight at Camden Yards. A night after their 10-7 come-from-behind win over the Orioles, the Yankees were swinging big again. Hess allowed nine runs as New York beat the O's 11-4 to take the first two games of this four-game...
