Showalter pregame on Trumbo and more (plus a game update)
TORONTO - The Orioles are still waiting to hear the decision by Mark Trumbo of the next course of action for his injured right knee. Trumbo went on the disabled list Monday with right knee inflammation. He has sought several opinions including one from Dr. James Andrews and one from Dr. Leigh Ann Curl, the head orthopaedic surgeon for the Baltimore Ravens. The Orioles would hate to lose Trumbo for an extended period. Since the All-Star break, he is hitting .284 with five homers and 16...

Message to Mullins: Make improvements or possibly give up switch-hitting

Message to Mullins: Make improvements or possibly give up switch-hitting
TORONTO - When it comes to exciting rookie center fielder Cedric Mullins, no doubt he has impressed Orioles manager Buck Showalter in many ways. With his speed, his defense, his maturity. But this year it was how he attacked a weakness during his time in the minor leagues that may have impressed his manager the most. In 2016 and 2017 on the farm, the switch-hitting Mullins produced much better numbers batting left-handed than he did hitting lefties from the right side. Mullins knew he needed to...

O's set most of rotation for weekend (plus a game update)
TORONTO - We are still waiting to hear further word on Mark Trumbo, who went on the disabled list yesterday due to right knee inflammation. He can come back off the DL for the game at Kansas City on Aug. 31. But whether he will make it back for that game seems to be in question. Manager Buck Showalter said the team got an update from the latest MRI, and that he might have more on that for reporters after the game. "He talked to Mike (Jacobs, team orthopedist) afterwards and he's exploring his...

Miguel Castro on meeting his baseball hero

Miguel Castro on meeting his baseball hero

Through the magic of television, he met his baseball hero yesterday, although he didn't know it was going to happen. Castro and interpreter Ramón Alarcón went on MLB...

Dylan Bundy pitches tonight, searching for answers and results

Dylan Bundy pitches tonight, searching for answers and results
TORONTO - When Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy takes the mound tonight at Toronto's Rogers Centre he will try to get his season - one that once looked very promising - turned back around. Bundy began the year with an ERA of 1.42 through five starts. In June his ERA was 1.98 for the month and 3.75 for the year as June ended. But that ERA has been on a steady climb upward lately and Bundy's homer rate has gone up again. In seven starts since the calender turned to July, he is 1-4 with an ERA...

O's lose 5-3, fall to 0-8 at Toronto for the season (with quotes)

A look at mounting strikeouts in MLB and the O's record in Toronto

A look at mounting strikeouts in MLB and the O's record in Toronto
This could prove to be a unique year in Major League Baseball. It could turn out to be the first one we've ever seen where there are more strikeouts than base hits. Years ago, there was no chance we would see that. But in an excellent column recently in the New York Times, Tyler Kepner wrote this: "This could be the first season in major league history to feature more strikeouts than hits, a slowdown that worries many league officials. Thirty years ago, batters compiled nearly 13,000 more...

After right-hander David Hess delivered the Orioles' fifth quality start in the last 10 games last night, right-hander Alex Cobb (3-15, 5.31 ERA) will look to add to that total this afternoon. After Friday's 2-1 loss at Cleveland, the Orioles play the second game of a three-game set with the Indians.

A few notes on Hess, Núñez, Hall and Thome
The Orioles are now 50 games under .500 at 36-86 after Friday's 2-1 loss at Cleveland. The Orioles are 15-46 on the road with 17 losses in their last 20 away from Oriole Park. With 40 games to go, the Orioles would have to go 27-13 to avoid 100 losses. Despite another loss, right-hander David Hess pitched well enough to win and that was a positive development. He recorded his first quality start since June 7 and his fifth on the year. After an extended stretch of tough starts, Hess may be...

After SEC success, Blaine Knight starts pro career at Aberdeen
ABERDEEN, Md. - He has pitched in big-time Southeastern Conference college games on Friday nights for two years. Those are high-intensity, high-pressure games in the top college league in the country. A lot is riding on every pitch. In the college game, Friday night starters are the aces for each club, and their rabid fans expect them to win. University of Arkansas right-hander Blaine Knight seemed to thrive in that pressure cooker. He pitched well enough this year to lead Arkansas to the...

A look at Zac Lowther, the O's minor league ERA leader
In a year in which a few Orioles pitchers have excelled on the farm there are more than a few contenders for the Jim Palmer award, which goes to the minor league Pitcher of the Year in the O's system. Just to name several in no particular order, there are Keegan Akin, DL Hall, Michael Baumann, Brenan Hanifee, Cameron Bishop, John Means and even the defending winner from 2017, Alex Wells, who pitched in the All-Star Futures Game. Those pitchers have been solid. But 22-year-old lefty Zac...
