Jimenez on today's outing, poor start plus Davis and Wieters quotes

Jimenez on today's outing, poor start plus Davis and Wieters quotes
In a very quiet Orioles clubhouse Ubaldo Jimenez talked about his third straight poor start for his new team. "Tough one, really bad one," Jimenez said. "Couldn't be there for the team once again. I've been missing right down the middle of the plate. I've been making too many mistakes right down the middle. That is something I have to work on. Executing the pitches. If I want to go away, make it be there, instead of right down the middle of the plate." Jimenez gave up 10 hits and five...

Jimenez hit hard as O's lose series finale 11-3

Jimenez hit hard as O's lose series finale 11-3
Ubaldo Jimenez was hoping to put it all together today in his third Orioles start, but it didn't happen. Jimenez allowed five runs this afternoon as Toronto crushed the Orioles 11-3 in front of 39,281 at Camden Yards. The right-hander, who came in with an 0-2 record and 6.75 ERA, gave up a long homer to Colby Rasmus, the second batter he faced. It didn't get much better after that throughout the day. He was knocked out during Toronto's biggest inning of the year, a five-run top of the...

O's game blog: Jimenez looks for his first win as an Oriole

O's game blog: Jimenez looks for his first win as an Oriole
The Orioles will try to win another series today after losing the first game. That is hard to do, but the O's did it at New York and will try to do it this afternoon against Toronto. The Orioles have lost the series opener three straight times this, but the one time this year they won the first game was opening day and they then lost the next two to Boston. Ubaldo Jimenez tries to get into the good pitching column today. Suddenly the O's have some starters putting good outings together and...

Zach Britton on his good start, a Zach Davies update and a marquee minor league matchup
During his pregame press conference today Orioles manager Buck Showalter talked briefly about Double-A Bowie right-hander Zach Davies. Davies, the club's 11th-ranked prospect according to Baseball America, left his start in the second inning at Akron yesterday when he took a line drive off his right forearm, very close to his pitching elbow. "I think Davies is okay," Showalter said. "Our guys said he might miss a start. He's a little sore. I saw the tape of it, he got smoked." Davies...

Ubaldo Jimenez: "I want to put everything together"

Ubaldo Jimenez: "I want to put everything together"
After two starts when he has not been at his best, new Orioles pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez hopes to show the home fans his stuff today when he pitches against the Blue Jays at Camden Yards. "I haven't been able to be there for the team the first two games," Jimenez said Saturday. "But I look forward to doing that (today). As I get out on the mound I feel more comfortable. I want to put everything together. My last game I was able to have a good fastball, but I didn't have my breaking...

The Orioles got outstanding pitching and finally ended a 15-inning scoreless streak in the last of the seventh inning. Tommy Hunter suffered his first blown save, but his teammates picked him up as the O's improved to 5-6. Here are some quotes from around the winning...

David Lough with a walk-off single in the 12th as O's top Toronto
It took longer than they wanted, but the Orioles picked up a hard-earned win tonight at Camden Yards. After they lost a 1-0 lead with two outs in the ninth, they won it 2-1 in 12 innings. With one out in the 12th, Steve Lombardozzi tripled to right off Todd Redmond. David Lough followed with a line-drive single to left for the walk-off victory. Your browser does not support iframes. Zach Britton got the win with two scoreless innings of relief and he has now pitched 8 1/3 scoreless on the...

O's game blog: Bud Norris on the mound against Toronto

O's game blog: Bud Norris on the mound against Toronto
Bud Norris makes his second start of the season here tonight against Toronto. His first went well for a short time. He needed just 25 pitches to sail through the first two innings last Saturday at Detroit, but he then gave up five runs over the next three innings on 78 pitches. Norris made five Camden Yards starts last season and went 2-1 with an ERA of 7.30, but the Orioles went 4-1 in those games. It's certainly not a trend for him since he ranked second in the National League in home ERA...

Steve Clevenger on batting fifth and an update on Bowie pitcher Zach Davies
Precautionary X-rays on the right arm of Double-A Bowie pitcher Zach Davies were negative today and he's listed as day-to-day. Davies got the start this afternoon for Bowie at Akron. But he left the game in the last of the second when he was struck by a line drive on the right arm, specifically his pitching elbow according to the team's Twitter feed. Matt Bischoff came on to pitch. Over 1 1/3 innings, Davies gave up two hits and one run with two walks and one strikeout. He threw 26 pitches....

Hardy and Lough talk about returning to the Oriole lineup

Hardy and Lough talk about returning to the Oriole lineup
J.J. Hardy is back in the Orioles lineup tonight and feeling pretty excited about that. "Really good. It's been a long week for me," Hardy said this afternoon. "These back spasms are no fun. I hope they are behind me and I won't have to deal with them for the rest of the year." Hardy hasn't played since a week ago today at Detroit when he went 2-for-3 with a walk. He is batting .333 (5-for-15) on the season. The back spasms and tightness have kept him out of the last five games and six...

O's minor leaguer hospitalized after being hit by a pitch last night (Davies exits Bowie start)

O's minor leaguer hospitalized after being hit by a pitch last night (Davies exits Bowie start)
Orioles minor league infielder Anthony Caronia is in a Baltimore hospital after getting hit in the face by a pitch last night while playing for the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds at home against Greensboro. During his first at-bat, in the last of the third inning, Caronia took a fastball from Greensboro starter right-hander Domingo German up and in and the lefty hitter could not avoid getting hit. He walked off the field with a trainer, but was later transported from Salisbury to...

Ten games into the new season the Orioles are still looking for consistency

Ten games into the new season the Orioles are still looking for consistency
OK, through 10 games to start the 2014 season, the Orioles have not played overall crisp baseball. I think we are certainly going to see better. So far, we've seen some baserunning mistakes and some mental errors. We saw a couple of physical miscues that were costly last night. The Orioles had made just one error all year until Jonathan Schoop made two at third base within a span of three batters in the top of the fourth. He just made two bad throws. The O's had just 10 multi-error games all...

Schoop, Jones and Tillman comment after the O's loss to Toronto

Schoop, Jones and Tillman comment after the O's loss to Toronto
Chris Tillman gave up just three singles over eight innings and no earned runs tonight, but he took the 2-0 loss against Toronto. One of his teammates said he could not have done much more to get a win. "I told him after the game. That was one of the best I've ever seen Tillman throw. They've got some thump over there. He threw the ball tremendous," Adam Jones said. Tillman falls to 1-1 and has given up just two earned runs over 21 1/3 innings for an ERA of 0.84 after three...

Tillman takes tough loss as O's fall 2-0 to Toronto

Tillman takes tough loss as O's fall 2-0 to Toronto
The Orioles had a tough night on offense and in the field, but a good night on the mound. But it did not produce a victory as the Toronto Blue Jays used a pair of unearned runs to post a 2-0 win in front of 22,327 at Camden Yards. The Orioles lose the opener of this six-game homestand to fall to 4-6. Toronto took a 2-0 lead in the fourth and the rally was aided by shaky O's defense. Jonathan Schoop made two throwing errors in the inning and the O's failed to turn a potential 3-6-1...

O's game blog: Orioles host Toronto in series opener

O's game blog: Orioles host Toronto in series opener
The Orioles are 3-0 this year when the opposing starter has been Jon Lester, Justin Verlander or Masahiro Tanaka. So how difficult can it be to beat Dustin McGowan? Actually, it doesn't work that way and the O's will have to earn a win tonight if they get one. But McGowan is 0-3 with a 6.99 career ERA against the Orioles in 13 games, six as a starter. Chris Tillman starts for the Orioles. He is 1-0 with a 1.35 ERA through two starts. Over his last 24 starts dating to June 4, Tillman is 13-5...

Chris Davis on the search for his first homer and rookie Schoop

Chris Davis on the search for his first homer and rookie Schoop
Chris Davis was a rookie and top prospect once. So he can relate to Jonathan Schoop as the Orioles' 22-year-old infielder begins to settle in as a big league player. "I think he's starting to find it a little bit," Davis said. "The first few games he was swinging at a lot of pitches. The more he's up here, the more he gets a chance to understand what they are trying to do to him. "From what I've seen so far, his work ethic hasn't changed, which is good. He's kept his approach. I...

Hardy: I've made "big strides the past couple days"
Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy will not be in the starting lineup tonight for the fifth game in a row and for the sixth time in seven games. He's been out due to lower back spasms and stiffness. After being hopeful of playing the last few games, Hardy hopes this time he really is one day away from rejoining the lineup. "I've made a bunch of big strides the past couple days," he said this afternoon in the Orioles clubhouse. "I came in today early and took some ground balls and took some...

As Schoop has big league success, O's minor league staff looks on with pride

As Schoop has big league success, O's minor league staff looks on with pride
When Jonathan Schoop first made the major leagues - and that happened last September - he beat the odds. Most young players drafted or signed at an early age never see the majors. Some get released before they even get to the higher levels of the minors. But Schoop made it all the way from the Dominican Summer League - his first pro ball destination - to Baltimore. And now he's making significant contributions to Orioles wins. In 2004, Schoop played on the team from Curacao that won the Little...

Tillman on the mound as O's homestand begins, plus minor league scores and notes
The Orioles are in a stretch where they play 16 consecutive games against American League East opponents. Tonight is the fourth game of that stretch that will see them open the year with 19 of 22 against the AL East. They will face Toronto six times over the next 13 games, starting with tonight's homestand-opening contest at Camden Yards. One of the many reasons it was good to see the team break out of its seven-game offensive funk was simply the fact that the schedule is so division-heavy...

With expectations high, Hunter Harvey makes home debut tonight

With expectations high, Hunter Harvey makes home debut tonight
For the third year in a row, the Orioles selected a talented right-handed pitcher with their first-round draft pick in 2013. Just like Dylan Bundy and Kevin Gausman before him, Hunter Harvey is beginning his first full season in the organization this year amid the high expectations that come with being a high pick. Harvey made a very good first impression when he pitched a few innings on the farm last summer after the Orioles selected him with the 22nd pick out of Bandys High School in Catawba,...
