Chris Davis talks about playing third base and batting second
With Manny Machado on the disabled list, Chris Davis moves over from first and gets the start at third base tonight. This will be Davis' third start this year at third base. The Orioles are 1-1 in the first two games. Davis made 17 starts for the Orioles at third in the 2011 season and has made 68 big league starts at the position. "I figured it was something that was probably going to be asked of me with Manny being out and J.J. being out. Kind of limited on options, I know we called up...

Dan Duquette on Manny Machado and Cord Phelps

Dan Duquette on Manny Machado and Cord Phelps
Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette said Manny Machado could return to the team by the end of his disabled list stint. Machado was placed on the 15-day disabled list today, retroactive to August 12, with a right knee sprain. "That's possible," Duquette said. "We'll see how it goes. Today he's feeling pretty good, he's walking around." To fill Machado's roster spot, the Orioles called up infielder Cord Phelps from Triple-A Norfolk. Phelps, 27, has batted .258/.358/.380 with...

A look at the O's-Yankees season series and the third base situation

A look at the O's-Yankees season series and the third base situation
Jinx alert. About to write about the Orioles beating up on the Yankees this year and what it could mean. Those that believe in jinxes should probably check out right about now. But for the rest of you... The Orioles are 7-3 this season against the Yankees. If they win just three of the remaining nine games between these teams, the Orioles will take the season series from New York for the first time since 1997 when they went 8-4. The Orioles went 9-9 versus New York in 2007 and 2012. But they...

MLB commissioner Bud Selig: Baltimore is prime candidate to host 2016 All-Star Game
At a press conference at Camden Yards in advance of Major League Baseball's owners meetings to be held Wednesday and Thursday in Baltimore, MLB commissioner Bud Selig said Baltimore remains a strong candidate to host the 2016 All-Star Game. Previously, Baltimore hosted the game in 1958 at Memorial Stadium and 1993 at Camden Yards. The 2016 season will be the Orioles' 25th at Oriole Park. "Baltimore certainly is a prime candidate," Selig said. He was also asked about Washington as a...

Jones on O's 60th anniversary celebration and other notes
So if you think you enjoyed the Orioles 60th anniversary celebration after the game on Friday night, check out how Adam Jones felt about it. "The Orioles, and it starts at the top, they outdid themselves," Jones said. "During the last decade-and-a-half or something, I'm sure it's been difficult to get that group together. But, for one night, Peter (Angelos) did ... that was big league. Every facet of it was big league. "I'm sure the old time guys appreciated it and the younger players...

Manny Machado talks about his right knee injury (plus Davis and Norris quotes)
Leaving the game with a right knee sprain after falling to the ground in a third-inning groundout tonight, Manny Machado said he doesn't yet know how long he will be out or the severity of his injury. "We don't know. X-rays came out negative. The MRI tomorrow will tell us what is going on. How long or how many days I'm going to be out. We'll know more tomorrow," he said after the game in the Orioles clubhouse. Is Machado optimistic about tomorrow? "I have no idea. Doesn't feel too...

Machado injured, while Cruz, Schoop and Davis homer as O's beat New York

Machado injured, while Cruz, Schoop and Davis homer as O's beat New York
In the third inning, Manny Machado left the game injured. In the fifth inning, the player that replaced him hit a go-ahead homer. The Orioles were far from done on offense at that point. So it wasn't all bad tonight for the Orioles. Chris Davis entered for Machado and hit a two-run shot off New York's Chris Capuano in the fifth as the O's moved ahead by one run. They added to that lead with three in the seventh for a four-run edge and turned it into a rout with four in the eighth for an...

O's game blog: Adam Jones on O's AL East lead and other notes
No one is calculating magic numbers in the Orioles clubhouse these days but O's center fielder Adam Jones talked about the club holding the largest division lead of any team in baseball. As they open a three-game series at home against the Yankees tonight they lead Toronto by five games and New York by six games. "Well, we are in a unique position," Jones said. "A position that most of us haven't been in. We're just grinding it out. We're expecting to go out there and play good...

J.J. Hardy provides an update on his injured thumb
Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy is not in the starting lineup for the second day in a row due to a sprained left thumb. Before the lineup was posted today he indicated it was doubtful he would be in it. "I hope tomorrow," Hardy said. "Every day I hope I wake up and it's fine and I can play that day. Little sore today, probably about the same as yesterday. Just still trying to get past that point where I feel like I can go out and play and not hurt it worse." If he were absolutely needed...

Orioles continue to win, but Chris Davis continues to struggle

Orioles continue to win, but Chris Davis continues to struggle
In the big picture, the Orioles had a good weekend. They rolled off a seventh straight series win. They opened a six-game lead atop the division, their largest since 1997, on Saturday. They are just one game behind the Angels for the second-best record in the majors. But some frustrations seemed to surface for fans again on Sunday. One was seeing the team go 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position. Another was seeing Chris Davis leave all those runners on base. Davis has batted seventh twice...

Kevin Gausman on his outing today against St. Louis

Kevin Gausman on his outing today against St. Louis
Kevin Gausman had a streak of three straight quality starts end this afternoon. He was struggling almost from the start, allowing two runs and four hits in the first inning as the Orioles lost 8-3 to St. Louis. "From the first inning on, it was kind of a battle of keeping my pitch count down," Gausman said. "I did a good job of bouncing back in the second inning. That first inning was a rough one. "It kind of seemed like wherever they hit the ball, we didn't have a guy there. Sometimes...

St. Louis gets early lead, pulls away late to beat O's and avoid sweep

St. Louis gets early lead, pulls away late to beat O's and avoid sweep
There were no homers this time. Not enough clutch hits either. And on a day when the Orioles were playing catch-up from the start, they never did quite catch up and the Cardinals pulled away late. St. Louis scored two runs in the first today and three in the ninth on their way to an 8-3 over the Orioles to avoid getting swept. Four times today the Orioles fell behind by two runs and three times they pulled back within a run. But they never did tie or take the lead as they fall to...

O's game blog: A look at the offense this series and Joseph on his power
The Orioles are batting .413 with nine homers in their series against the St. Louis Cardinals. They scored 12 runs on 15 hits Friday and added 10 runs on 16 hits yesterday. They have hit those nine homers against a St. Louis team that began this series allowing the fewest homers in the majors with 71. The last time a Cardinals team allowed nine homers over two games was in May 2003 against Pittsburgh, according to MLB.com. This is the second time this season that the Orioles have scored 10 or...

Delmon Young on O's power surge and his time in Baltimore

Delmon Young on O's power surge and his time in Baltimore
Delmon Young said it is not hard to explain why the Orioles have hit nine homers in the series against St. Louis. "We're not missing pitches out over the plate that we were missing before," he said simply. Young went 2-for-4 with a double, homer and three RBIs on Saturday. He's now batting .321 with five homers and 19 RBIs in 156 at-bats. Young, who is 9-for-17 as a pinch-hitter, has a .474 slugging percentage and .828 OPS. He is batting .368 since the All-Star break. He has shown an...

Notes on the offense, Aberdeen's All-Stars and more with the Hall of Famers

Notes on the offense, Aberdeen's All-Stars and more with the Hall of Famers
Will the real Orioles offense stand up? Is it the group that scored just three runs on six hits in the last two games of the Toronto series? Or is it the group that scored 22 runs on 31 hits with nine homers the last two games against St. Louis? Chris Tillman and Ubaldo Jimenez probably don't want to analyze it. They are happy to get that run support, and the Orioles look for the sweep this afternoon at Camden Yards. After scoring nine or more runs in just five of their first 111 games, the...

Joseph on his homer streak, Jimenez on his outing and the win
Caleb Joseph today became the 15th catcher since 1914 to homer in five consecutive games. For a player that not long ago had a hard time getting out of Double-A, he's been on quite a run. And he showed some emotion today with a fist pump when he hit that one. "It's just a big whirlwind of kind of emotions," he said. "You set a record and maybe seven or eight months ago, I was thinking about hanging it up. "Every day in the big leagues is such a blessing, and especially to be on this...

O's game blog: Jimenez returns to rotation and some homer notes
Well, we know the Orioles rely a lot on the home run ball. At least they hit them often, and that is not just referring to the six they hit last night. The Orioles lead the majors with 42 games where they have hit two or more homers. They are 32-10 in those multi-homer games. They are 55-25 when they hit even one homer in a game. The Orioles now lead the majors with 144 homers. Here are the top six teams: 1. Orioles, 144 2. Toronto, 137 3. Houston, 128 4. Colorado, 127 t5. Milwaukee and...

Looking back on an amazing night, Jimenez on his start and more
For an Orioles fan, does it get much better than last night? The Orioles hit six homers, routed a good team, started a homestand off big and capped the night with an amazing show linking their proud past with their promising present. It ends with the O's Hall of Famers and the current Orioles on the field together as their adoring fans cheer until they can't anymore. Perfect. That is what it was. I don't know if they'll be able to top that for a while. Maybe with something in...

Chris Tillman said it well in one sentence during his postgame interview. "It was a good night to do what we did," he said after the Orioles' 12-2 win over St. Louis. The Orioles put on a great show tonight for the crowd and for the 23 Orioles Hall of Famers that returned as part of the 60th anniversary celebration tonight. They were introduced during an amazing postgame ceremony. It ended with the 2014 Orioles joining the former O's on the field. Yes, it was amazing. "With all these...
