Chris Davis talks about being a Sports Illustrated cover boy
As he continues his climb up the Orioles' single-season home run list, Chris Davis talked about his latest honor of sorts today. He is going to be a Sports Illustrated cover boy. Davis is being featured on one of the Aug. 26 issue's regional covers in a profile written by Tom Verducci. Davis said his knowledge of the magazine goes back to his childhood. "I was at my grandparents' house and I saw there were like 150 Sports Illustrated issues under the coffee table," he said. "I asked,...

These O's stats are not pretty right now

These O's stats are not pretty right now
Well, this morning, there is not too much to be cheerful about or encouraged about for the Orioles. It's been a disappointing series against Tampa Bay, one where they had a chance to gain ground on a key rival and make progress toward a playoff berth, but they have not. Check out these numbers: * The Orioles are now 5-9 against Tampa Bay, including a 2-6 mark at home. They have lost seven of the last eight meetings this year between the teams and should they lose tonight, they would be swept...

Aberdeen manager was very impressed with Hunter Harvey
ABERDEEN, Md - To say the least, Aberdeen manager Matt Merullo was impressed tonight when the Orioles 2013 first round draft pick, Hunter Harvey made his debut for the short-season, Single-A IronBirds.

"Very impressive," Merullo said. "Not only his stuff, but his poise, his presence. He looked like he'd...

When it comes to the close games, the O's have lacked that 2012 magic

When it comes to the close games, the O's have lacked that 2012 magic
For the Orioles, what a difference a year makes in one-run games. From an amazing 29-9 mark last season to 14-22 this year. Last season, from June 1 through the end of the regular season, the Orioles went 21-4 in one-run games. That is a remarkably low total of four one-run losses in four months. In comparison, the Orioles lost four one-run games on their last road trip of eight games. They have now lost six consecutive one-run decisions and are 1-8 in their last nine one-run games. That is...

Postgame comments from Jones, Wieters and Tillman
After the Orioles left a season-high 15 on base and went 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position, Adam Jones was asked if the players needed to change their approach tonight during some key at-bats? "You can't change your approach," Jones said. "Once you change, other things will start failing. If you are an aggressive hitter, you have to go up there and be aggressive. We are an aggressive team and sometimes (David) Price used that against us, getting us out the zone a little bit. "Any...

O's with missed chances all night in 4-3 loss to Tampa Bay
A long night of missed chances ended with the Orioles losing a key game to Tampa Bay and feeling like the result would have been much different with just one or two clutch hits that never came.

Chris Tillman takes another shot at his 15th win tonight

Chris Tillman takes another shot at his 15th win tonight
Chris Tillman tries for the third time tonight to become the Orioles' first 15-game winner since Erik Bedard in 2006. A win this evening would make Tillman the 29th O's pitcher to record a 15-win year. Tillman pitched well in two starts on the recent road trip - giving up just three runs over 14 innings - but didn't get a win as the O's went 1-1 in those games. He left with a lead in both. Still, the Orioles are a rather impressive 13-2 in Tillman's last 15 starts and 18-6 in his 24...

O's playoff push shifts into a higher gear starting tonight

O's playoff push shifts into a higher gear starting tonight
I'm sure Orioles players might tell us their playoff push began 123 games ago. They may even say it began weeks before that under the hot Florida sun on the back fields in Sarasota. But the playoff push really heats up tonight. The Orioles still have nine games remaining with Boston - and they'll see the Red Sox soon enough - but starting tonight they play back-to-back series with the two teams ahead of them for a pair of American League wild card spots. They host Tampa Bay for three...

Postgame comments from Jones, Davis and Feldman after the O's beat the Rockies
After they combined for seven hits, two homers and four RBIs today, Adam Jones talked about the combination of Chris Davis batting third with him fourth in the O's batting order. "I like the combination of me and Chris," Jones said. "If it's four and five (in the order), we've done the same damage. Me and him following each other, we both make each other better. We both drive the ball, we are both athletic to score on doubles. Whatever has been working with me and him, it's a pretty...

Troy Patton on the end of his run of 26 consecutive appearances without a walk
When Troy Patton came into the game last night and walked the only batter he faced in the sixth inning, it was news.

J.J. Hardy feels confident he can play on Sunday (plus Norris and Roberts quotes)
Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy, who was a late scratch from tonight's starting lineup due to back spasms, provided an update on that after tonight's game. "Today right before BP, I was getting my glove ready and got up out of my chair and my low back started to spasm on me," Hardy said. "Went in to get some treatment and it has loosened up a lot since." Does he think he can play on Sunday in the series finale? "Yeah, I think so," he said. "I feel like I probably could have played...

A look at Dariel Alvarez so far and his thoughts on joining the O's organization
Before having a big game last night at Harry Grove Stadium, Cuban outfielder Dariel Alvarez was a guest on the Frederick Keys radio network's pregame show. Through his interpreter, O's minor league coach Ramon Sambo, Alvarez took a few questions from Keys broadcaster Adam Pohl. The 24-year-old Alvarez talked about playing baseball in the United States. Has it been about what he expected? "It has been hard, like I expected it to be. I'm facing the pitching I thought I would, but you just...
