The search for rotation help (O's trail 6-1)

The search for rotation help (O's trail 6-1)
CHICAGO - With a rotation ERA that has now ballooned to 5.27 to rank last in the American League, the Orioles have some improving to do there. Coming into tonight's second game of this series against the White Sox, Orioles starters have pitched to a 15.56 ERA the past six games, and a 6.70 ERA while the team has gone 9-21 since its 22-10 start. Will the club look for reinforcement outside the organization? Manger Buck Showalter, not surprisingly, would not bite on that one today. "That's not...

Buck Showalter updates Chris Davis' status, plus other notes

Buck Showalter updates Chris Davis' status, plus other notes
CHICAGO - Orioles first baseman Chris Davis is headed for the 10-day disabled list but just not yet. For now, Davis is headed back to Baltimore after an MRI here this morning showed a Grade I right oblique injury. This is on the lesser scale, but it appears that Davis still could miss several weeks. The Orioles are expected to replace Davis with Norfolk first baseman David Washington, but Showalter would not confirm that yet. Washington was scratched from Norfolk's lineup today and the...

Trey Mancini on playing first base tonight

Trey Mancini on playing first base tonight
CHICAGO - Just when Trey Mancini started to get this left field thing down and was doing well with the glove out there, he is moving back to first base. At least for tonight, and we'll see for how long. With Chris Davis not starting tonight and possibly headed for the disabled list with what is apparently an oblique injury, Mancini is starting tonight at first base, his original position. "I've been playing there my whole life," he said this afternoon. "In going out to the outfield it's...

O's game blog: Alec Asher on the mound in Chicago
CHICAGO - The Orioles try to end two losing streaks while also trying to avoid falling under the .500 mark here tonight. After last night's 10-7 loss, the Orioles (31-31) play the White Sox in the second game of a four-game series. During a five-game losing skid, the Orioles have been outscored 54-16. Their starters' ERA is 15.56 the past six games, and is 6.70 the last 30 games, during which the team has gone 9-21. The Birds have lost 10 in a row on the road, and 14 of the last 15 away from...

O's take a college pitcher in the third round (updated)

When will it end? The slide of O's rotation continued last night

When will it end? The slide of O's rotation continued last night
CHICAGO - The Orioles were 22-10 and playing great baseball. They had a winning percentage of .688 and were on a 111-win pace. We knew that could not continue to that extent, but just over a month after that hot start, the O's could be under .500 with a loss tonight. This has not been a slump, this has been a collapse of a pitching staff. Sure, the offense shares blame, too. But right now, the rotation's shortcomings are glaring. Since that start where the O's got 12 games over .500 they are...

Hearing from O's scouting director Gary Rajsich and DL Hall

Hearing from O's scouting director Gary Rajsich and DL Hall
CHICAGO - In a bit of a surprise, with many analysts expecting the Orioles to take a college player in the first round, they selected a high-school, left-handed pitcher with their No. 21 overall selection Monday night in the First-Year Player Draft. The O's selected DL Hall from Valdosta (Ga.) High School with the pick that began what will be 41 selections over three days for the Orioles. Hall throws a fastball that sits between 92 and 95 mph, touching 96, along with a curveball and changeup....

Wade Miley takes fall for latest loss as frustration mounts

Wade Miley takes fall for latest loss as frustration mounts
CHICAGO - As the losses mount, so does the frustration. That was clear tonight as O's starter Wade Miley pointed the finger at himself after the Orioles' 10-7 loss to the Chicago White Sox. And then he kept blaming himself. Miley suffered his second straight short start, allowing six runs and six hits over 2 1/3 innings. By the end of the fourth, the Orioles had fallen into an 8-3 hole. O's starters have an ERA of 15.56 the past six games. The team has lost 10 straight on the road. They...

O's dig early hole, lose fifth straight to fall to .500

O's dig early hole, lose fifth straight to fall to .500
CHICAGO - It was one thing for the Orioles to lose big to the first-place New York Yankees. Not that it was acceptable, but the Yanks are a hot team with the second-best record in the league. But tonight the Orioles trailed big early and then lost 10-7 in Chicago to a White Sox team that began today with the American League's worst record. Chicago knocked O's starter Wade Miley out during a four-run third inning on its way to the win at Guaranteed Rate Field to start a four-game series. On...

Pregame notes on Machado, Britton and Flaherty

Pregame notes on Machado, Britton and Flaherty
CHICAGO - Manager Buck Showalter, who almost always proceeds with caution when talking about players returning from injury, was not ready to pronounce third baseman Manny Machado officially yet back in the lineup when he met with reporters here earlier. Machado is in the posted lineup, but the skipper said he needs to make sure Machado gets through batting practice fine. That is the expectation. What will it mean to have him back? "We're capable of winning with and without him but it...

Manny Machado on returning to Orioles lineup tonight

Manny Machado on returning to Orioles lineup tonight
CHICAGO - Orioles third baseman Manny Machado returns to the lineup tonight for the first time since Wednesday, when he got inadvertantly spiked by Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen. He missed the next four games. But his strained left wrist and sore hand made progress each day and he passed the final test here this afternoon when he took early batting practice and fielded grounders. It went well. "Good. Ready to play and go out there and help my team do whatever we can to get back on the right...

O's game blog: O's trying to avoid a sweep in the Bronx (O's lose 14-3)

Bashed in the Bronx: Can O's regroup in series finale?

Bashed in the Bronx: Can O's regroup in series finale?
It was Wednesday night when the Orioles pulled off a second straight rally in the ninth inning against Pittsburgh that led to a second straight extra innings win. Trey Mancini homered in the ninth to tie it and in the 11th to win. It was pretty special stuff. Since then the Orioles have lost three in a row and been outscored 30-6. The Yankees have hit eight homers the past two nights. The Yankees are averaging 10.8 runs per game at Yankee Stadium against Baltimore pitching in going 4-1 this...

As they have fallen 4 1/2 games out in the American League East to tie a season high, the Orioles (31-28) play the Yankees tonight for the second game of three this weekend in the Bronx. New York is 35-23 and leading Boston by three games for first place. New York is 20-9 at home, 5-3 in June and 14-14 since moving a season-best 12 games over .500 at 21-9 on May 8. They have now tied that mark. O's right-hander Chris Tillman (1-3, 5.59 ERA) will make his seventh start. He has two quality...

More concerns emerge as O's lose opener at New York

More concerns emerge as O's lose opener at New York
So much for the feel-good vibe that surrounded the Orioles on Wednesday night after Trey Mancini's heroics against the Pittsburgh Pirates. They went back on the road and the losing resumed. They've scored three runs in two games at Washington and New York. Their bullpen collapsed late in the game last night. Doom and gloom returned to Birdland. The bigger concern is that a stretch of 12 losses in 18 games has the Orioles currently looking nothing like the team that was 22-10 on May 9. A...

O's game blog: Bundy on mound in series opener (O's lose 8-2)
Will the Orioles get at least one hit tonight with a runner in scoring position? If they do it will be the first hit with RISP that New York Yankees pitching has given up this month. Over the seven games in June, Yankee opponents are 0-for-35 with RISP. According to Elias Sports, opponents are 0-for-their-last-36 overall with RISP dating back to May 31 at Baltimore. That is the team's longest streak of hitless at-bats with RISP in the Expansion Era (since 1961) and the majors' longest streak...
