Showalter on position players pitching (O's lose 5-2 at Seattle)

Showalter on position players pitching (O's lose 5-2 at Seattle)
SEATTLE - In the clubhouse this afternoon, Orioles players were watching the Cleveland-Toronto game with great interest. The Indians ended up winning 2-1 in 19 innings. The losing pitcher was Toronto infielder Darwin Barney. That led Orioles manager Buck Showalter to tell reporters he knew which position player he would use on the mound in a similar situation, but he wasn't volunteering any names. Of course, Chris Davis once took the mound and got a win for the Orioles. "I'll never tell,...

Notes on Kim's start, O'Day's injury, Britton's velocity

Notes on Kim's start, O'Day's injury, Britton's velocity
SEATTLE - Orioles outfielder Hyun Soo Kim has 122 at-bats this year, but just four against left-handed pitchers. He is starting tonight versus Seattle lefty Wade LeBlanc. It's his first start against a southpaw. "LeBlanc is a reverse split guy with the changeup. So we'll see," manager Buck Showalter said. Reverse splits means LeBlanc does worse against left-handed batters over right-handed hitters. In his career lefties hit .317 off LeBlanc and right-handed batters hit .259. Kim also has 12...

Chaz Roe talks about his callup to the Orioles

Chaz Roe talks about his callup to the Orioles
SEATTLE - After clearing waivers April 1 and heading to Triple-A Norfolk, right-hander Chaz Roe pitched quite well this year on the farm and he rejoined the Orioles yesterday at Safeco Field. Manager Buck Showalter said Roe was throwing as well as anyone in Norfolk and the O's added him to their bullpen on Thursday. With the Tides, Roe went 1-2 with a 2.39 ERA. His last 15 outings were scoreless, covering 15 2/3 innings with two walks and 15 strikeouts. "Went down there to work on a few...

O's notes: The 50-RBI club, Joseph's one liner and more

O's notes: The 50-RBI club, Joseph's one liner and more
SEATTLE - When the Orioles' Manny Machado drove in a run with an eighth-inning single Thursday at Seattle, it was his 50th RBI of the 2016 season. The Orioles now have four players with 50 RBIs or more, as Mark Trumbo has 60, Chris Davis 52 and Machado and Adam Jones have 50 each. The Orioles have played less than half the season at 78 games. So obviously, those four players have a shot to drive in 100 runs. Jonathan Schoop has 46 RBIs and he is on a 95-RBI pace. There are 22 players in the...

Orioles played .679 ball in June and surged into first place

Orioles played .679 ball in June and surged into first place
SEATTLE - For the Orioles, the month of June ended with Thursday's 5-3 loss to Seattle at Safeco Field, but what a month it was overall. It just may have set the tone for the Orioles to push toward a second American League East crown in three years. Hyun Soo Kim's homer last night gave the O's a major league record 56 home runs in June, breaking their tie with the 1996 Oakland A's. But most important of all, the Orioles went 19-9 in during the month. When June started, they were in second...

Kim on record-breaking homer, plus other O's quotes after loss
SEATTLE - The Orioles broke their tie with Oakland and stand alone as the club hitting the most homers ever in June. But it came in a 5-3 loss to Seattle that ended their seven-game win streak tonight at Safeco Field. That took some of the shine off the homer Hyun Soo Kim hit in the seventh inning. He homered for the second straight game and gave the Orioles the major league mark of 56 homers for the month. They had been tied with the 1996 Oakland A's for most homers in June with 55. Kim...

Orioles set MLB record for June homers, but fall 5-3 at Seattle

Orioles set MLB record for June homers, but fall 5-3 at Seattle
SEATTLE - Early in tonight's game, Mariners right-hander Taijuan Walker has been up for the challenge of facing this red-hot Orioles team. Walker retired the first nine Orioles on just 34 pitches as Seattle led 1-0 after three innings. The 23-year-old needed 12 pitches to get through the first and second frames, and retired the Orioles on 10 pitches in the third. His defense provided plenty of help. Third baseman Kyle Seager made a diving stop to rob Adam Jones to start the game. Center...

Showalter on today's roster moves and Jimenez starting Sunday
SEATTLE - The Orioles roster has a new look tonight for the opener of a four-game series at Safeco Field. Caleb Joseph and Vance Worley have been activated off the disabled list and Chaz Roe has been added from Triple-A Norfolk. Roe had to be added to the 40-man roster and the Orioles had one spot open to add him. The O's are down to just one lefty - Zach Britton - in their bullpen, as T.J. McFarland goes to the DL with a left knee injury. He first got hurt in Norfolk and the knee is bothering...

O'Day provides an injury update, Joseph on return to O's
SEATTLE - There is still no timetable for Orioles reliever Darren O'Day to be activated from the disabled list. He last pitched June 1 and is on the DL with a right hamstring strain He has thrown two bullpen sessions and manager Buck Showalter said the second was not as encouraging as the first. For now, it looks like the next step will be another bullpen at some point before he can advance to throwing in a simulated game. "We are just trying to take it slow and do it right," O'Day said...

The Orioles' relentless offense leads team to another seven-game win streak
SEATTLE - The Orioles' pitching staff gave up 24 runs the last four games. But the Orioles offense scored 43. At some point, the O's offense will slow down, but it sure didn't happen in San Diego. Over the last four games, the Orioles have scored 8, 12, 11 and 12 runs. That is 35 runs in three games and 43 in four. In that four-game stretch, the Orioles are 60-for-155 (.387) with 15 doubles and 11 home runs. They have gone 20-for-42 (.476) with runners in scoring position in the four...

With Dylan Bundy pitching longer outings, is a spot in rotation in the future?

With Dylan Bundy pitching longer outings, is a spot in rotation in the future?
It is one of the most-asked questions from fans this year: Will Dylan Bundy enter the starting rotation this season? That was not very likely going into the season, since he is on about a 75-inning limit for this season. Bundy had Tommy John surgery in 2013 and shoulder issues last year. He did not pitch at all in 2013, pitched 41 1/3 innings in 2014 and threw 22 innings last year in the minor leagues for Double-A Bowie. There is no way the Orioles can pack too many innings on him this year...

Notes on DJ Stewart, Hunter Harvey and more (plus draft notes, Joseph in Frederick)
Even though he was hitting just .230 at Single-A Delmarva, the Orioles recently promoted their 2015 first-round draft pick, outfielder DJ Stewart to Single-A Frederick. The 25th overall pick last June, Stewart is trying to find the form that saw him hit .351 and .318 his last two seasons at Florida State. He was named the 2014 ACC Player of the Year. But the left-handed-hitting left fielder hit just .218 last year at short season Single-A Aberdeen in his pro debut. In 62 games this season with...

A look at the Orioles' outstanding offense in June (plus other notes)
The Orioles offense in June has been in a word, well, spectacular. The Orioles have hit 51 home runs this month. If they hit five more homers in the remaining three games in June, they will set a major league record for most homers in the month. The current mark is 55 by the 1996 Oakland Athletics. If the Orioles hit eight homers over the next three games, they will set a major league record for most homers in any single month. The current mark is 58 held by the 1987 Orioles and the 1999...
