O's game blog: Alex Cobb faces the Red Sox at Fenway

O's game blog: Alex Cobb faces the Red Sox at Fenway
If the Orioles can win at Boston tonight, some losing streaks will fall. They have lost 13 in a row on the road. They have lost seven in a row versus Boston. And the Orioles have lost all six games started by right-hander Alex Cobb this year. The 6-2 loss to Boston on Thursday night matched a team record for consecutive road losses. That was set from April 8-28, 1988. The O's have been outscored 84-41 during the 13 losses with a rotation ERA of 6.93. The Orioles have their first seven-game...

O's promote righty Michael Baumann in series of minors pitching moves

O's promote righty Michael Baumann in series of minors pitching moves
He's been the most dominant starting pitcher this year on the O's farm, and now right-hander Michael Baumann will get the challenge of facing hitters in the Carolina League. We learned late last night that the Orioles are promoting Baumann from Single-A Delmarva to Single-A Frederick as part of moves involving eight players and all four full-season affiliates. A third-round round pick out of Jacksonville University in June 2017, Baumann has dominant numbers since joining the pro ranks. In...

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman pitches the Boston series opener

O's game blog: Kevin Gausman pitches the Boston series opener
After allowing just two runs over 16 1/3 innings his past two starts, does Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman stay on a roll tonight? He'll try to pitch the team to a win in the opener of a four-game series at Boston that is the beginning of an 11-game road trip versus the Red Sox, White Sox and Rays. In his first two starts this season, Gausman had a 8.00 ERA, but over his past six he is 3-1 with a 2.14 ERA. Over 42 innings in that span, he's allowed 37 hits with nine walks and 34...

A look at the O's challenge in Boston, and other notes

A look at the O's challenge in Boston, and other notes
Since the 2012 season - when they returned to the playoffs after 14 losing seasons - the Orioles have a winning record in head-to-head matchups with the Boston Red Sox. In fact, the Orioles have won the season series in five of the last six years since then. That includes a 10-9 mark last season, when the Red Sox won 93 games and their second straight American League East title. But now the Orioles may have some trouble beating the Red Sox. They got swept three straight at Fenway Park in April...

Cashner on his outing, Jones on Pivetta and more after O's loss
The Orioles offense had scored 58 runs and hit 19 homers in going 5-2 during this long homestand. But those bats got shutdown today by Philadelphia 25-year-old right-hander Nick Pivetta. Throwing a 94 mph fastball and some plus sliders and curves, Pivetta held the Orioles to a pair of hits over seven innings today, as Philadelphia beat the Orioles 4-1. Pivetta retired 17 of the final 19 batters he faced improving to 3-2 with a 3.72 ERA. He got 23 swings and misses among 99 pitches. At least one...

Chance Sisco on his strong caught stealing percentage

Chance Sisco on his strong caught stealing percentage
For years, Orioles catcher Chance Sisco could read scouting reports and articles where prospects analysts questioned his defense. Not long after he was drafted you could find some evaluators that felt he'd never catch a day in the major leagues. Well, the American League leader in caught stealing percentage today is Sisco. He has the best mark in the league. AL leaders, caught stealing percentage: .471 - Chance Sisco, Orioles (8-of-17) .429 - Mike Zunino, Seattle (6-of-14) .400 - Jason Castro,...

Notes on Orioles hitters, the Phillies and the farm

Notes on Orioles hitters, the Phillies and the farm

During a 5-2 stand, the Orioles have hit 19 homers, 13 doubles and scored 58 runs. They beat Tampa Bay 17-1 on Sunday. Some Orioles individual hitting notes: * Jonathan...

Did club official hint team is pondering a rebuild in radio interview?

Did club official hint team is pondering a rebuild in radio interview?
The Orioles are 13-28 and for now stuck at the bottom of the American League East. It is a record that would indicate that the team's management should at least consider rebuilding the roster. Having several players that can become free agents at the end of the year could hasten such a decision. But so far we have not heard anyone from the club say that rebuilding is in the plans, even if it is being discussed behind the scenes. We have not heard that the team could begin to look more and more...

Better late than never, the longballs and runs arrive

Better late than never, the longballs and runs arrive
Remember that time when the Orioles scored three runs or less 20 times in their first 34 games? The Orioles returned home and the home runs are back - and so are some big numbers on offense. In those first 34 games, the Orioles hit 34 homers and averaged 3.4 runs per game. In the last seven games, during what has so far been a 5-2 homestand, the Orioles have hit 19 homers and have averaged 8.3 runs per game. Yep, quite a change. The Orioles have hit three or more homers in a game nine times...

Dylan Bundy on returning to form, plus other clubhouse quotes

Dylan Bundy on returning to form, plus other clubhouse quotes
On a day that the Orioles had 19 hits, including four homers, and beat Tampa Bay 17-1, the biggest development was right-hander Dylan Bundy returning to his previous form. After pitching to a 1.42 ERA through five starts, Bundy had allowed 22 runs and 23 hits with nine homers over his last three starts and nine innings. On Tuesday night he became the first pitcher to allow four homers and not get one out. But it was much different today as Bundy gave up just two hits - a pair doubles - while...

Dylan Bundy gets the win and offense rolls in 17-1 victory

Dylan Bundy gets the win and offense rolls in 17-1 victory
It was a day where right-hander Dylan Bundy got back on track. And, after scoring just three runs last night in the second of three games against the Tampa Bay Rays, so did the Orioles offense. Big time. That was an impressive combination on Mother's Day at the Yard that led the Orioles to a 17-1 romp over the Rays in front of a crowd of 25,257. They win three of four in this series and have back-to-back series wins for the first time in 2018. Bundy had pitched to a 19.00 ERA, allowing nine...

The Orioles split a doubleheader with Tampa Bay on Saturday and have taken two of three in this series.

David Hess led three homegrown pitchers to a win Saturday

David Hess led three homegrown pitchers to a win Saturday
In Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader, the Orioles used three homegrown pitchers to beat the Tampa Bay Rays with right-hander David Hess getting his first major league chance and making the most of it. Even though he was pitching on three days' rest, and even though he gave up a three-run homer to Rays' Matt Duffy in the first inning, Hess didn't buckle under any pressure and he showed some talent and poise out there. It was a day that Hess (round 5, 2014), Tanner Scott (round 6, 2014) and...

Making his major league debut today, Orioles right-hander David Hess gave up a three-run homer to the fourth batter he faced. It got better for him after that. A lot better.

They are 4-1 on this homestand and 12-27 for the season. The Rays have lost five straight and eight of 11. Hess got Denard Span to fly out to start his day. But two...

Machado's postgame props for Coolbaugh and other notes
After Manny Machado had a huge game with two homers and six RBIs in a win over Tampa Bay last night, he took time to throw some props to his hitting coach Scott Coolbaugh. Machado said this during a live interview on MASN: "Working with Coolbaugh has been the key to the success this year. Going in the cage and doing my routine every day. Coolbaugh gave me the approach that I need. Staying on top of me every day and trying to stay with a routine. With him helping me out every day it's paying...
