Will Feldman be a Joe Saunders-type acquisition for the Orioles?

Will Feldman be a Joe Saunders-type acquisition for the Orioles?
The Orioles struck quickly today in adding a pitcher for their starting rotation. It will be possibly as soon as tomorrow when we begin to find out if Scott Feldman will be a key addition for this team like Joe Saunders was late last season. Feldman was having a solid year for the Cubs going 7-6 with a 3.46 ERA and nine quality starts in 15 outings. Opposing batters are hitting just .234 against him, a stat that puts him ahead of Chris Tillman, Miguel Gonzalez and Jason Hammel. Feldman could...

With new pitch and better results, Gamboa's stock is now on the rise

With new pitch and better results, Gamboa's stock is now on the rise
Right-hander Eddie Gamboa has pitched well enough the last few seasons for Double-A Bowie to keep his spot on the staff, but never quite well enough to get a promotion or to be considered one of the club's top pitching prospects. Gamboa is back at Bowie again this season. But armed with a new pitch and now producing strong results, Gamboa is finally getting noticed. Now his dream of someday making it with the Orioles doesn't seem like the real long shot it once did. The Orioles discovered...

Minor league notes on Ohlman's hot bat and Drake's good start for Bowie (draft pick signing)

Minor league notes on Ohlman's hot bat and Drake's good start for Bowie (draft pick signing)
When the Orioles announce their minor league player of the month for June, Michael Ohlman should get some strong consideration. The Single-A Frederick catcher batted .356 with five homers, 17 RBIs and an OPS of 1.104 in June. His scorching hot bat finally cooled off during an 0-for-4 day on Sunday. But, in the four games before that, Ohlman went 10-for-15 with four doubles, one homer and eight RBIs. The 22-year-old right-handed hitter has battled some injuries over the years including a right...

The Orioles and their fans showed their stuff on a big stage over the weekend

The Orioles and their fans showed their stuff on a big stage over the weekend
I've covered Baltimore sports long enough and hosted enough radio shows over the years to know that Baltimore sports fans spend a lot of time, almost obsessive, over what the national media is saying about their sports teams. That being the case - and I don't really agree with it, but I don't deny it's true - the fans had to love the last two days. Orioles fans got to see their team win over the New York Yankees on two different national networks as the announcers heaped praise on the...

Roberts talks on the win, thanks crowd for its support (with other player quotes)

Roberts talks on the win, thanks crowd for its support (with other player quotes)
In his first game back with the Orioles since April 4, Brian Roberts went 1-for-2 and produced a key insurance run with a sac fly. He received several big ovations from the crowd of 40,878 during the Orioles' 4-2 win over the Yankees. "My first at-bat was special for me," Roberts said. "To be here as long as I have and to be through so many ups and downs, you don't really know if people are just tired of you or if they really want you out there still. "My journey, so many people can...

O's win to complete first three-game home sweep of Yankees since 2005
In their fourth attempt to get a three-game series sweep, the Orioles picked up their first of the year tonight. A large enthusiastic crowd of 40,878 saw Chris Tillman gain his 10th win as the Orioles beat the Yankees 4-2 to complete a three-game sweep in their first home game on ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" since July 31, 2005. The Orioles completed their first three-game home sweep of New York since April 15-17, 2005. It also is their fifth straight home win against New York - their...

Hiroki Kuroda has had two very different starts against the O's this year (updated)

Hiroki Kuroda has had two very different starts against the O's this year (updated)
Yankees right-hander Hiroki Kuroda makes the start against the Orioles here tonight. He is 7-5 with an ERA of 2.77 in 16 starts. Kuroda ranks fifth in the American League in ERA and has had two very different starts this year against the Orioles. On April 14 at New York, in another ESPN Sunday Night Baseball game, he pitched a five-hit shutout, throwing 113 pitches. On May 22 here at Camden Yards, Kuroda went two innings plus two batters and gave up eight hits and five runs, throwing 55...

Jair Jurrjens on today's roster move; Eddie Gamboa no-hitter notes and quotes

Jair Jurrjens on today's roster move; Eddie Gamboa no-hitter notes and quotes
It was a new one for me today when Jair Jurrjens was designated for assignment off the 25-man roster. There is a difference between DFA and this designation of DFA "off the roster." To cut to the chase, it appears that Jurrjens, after a 48-hour window, is very likely to remain in the organization, and will likely head back to pitch for Triple-A Norfolk. "They needed to put B-Rob on the roster, and I was the guy that came out from the bullpen yesterday. I'm the guy out," Jurrjens said...

Brian Roberts on his latest return to the Orioles and more
Brian Roberts' latest comeback continues tonight at Camden Yards. The Orioles activated him off the 60-day disabled list today, and he'll bat ninth and serve as the DH against the Yankees. Roberts had surgery to repair his injured right hamstring in early May after getting hurt in the third game of this season. "It's great, I'm excited. Should be a great atmosphere and looking forward to being a part of it," he said about being back. He has played in just 118 games since 2010, and he...

ESPN's Olney says the time is now for O's to sign Machado to a 10-year contract

ESPN's Olney says the time is now for O's to sign Machado to a 10-year contract
Even though he doesn't have even a full year's worth of service time yet and has played just 133 career games with the club, ESPN's Buster Olney said the time is now for the Orioles to sign Manny Machado to a long-term, megabucks contract. "That is going to be kind of a turning point in the franchise's history because he clearly is that kind of player," Olney said this week in an interview with MASNsports.com. A former O's beat writer for The Baltimore Sun, Olney and the ESPN broadcast...

In Bowie, Chen says he feels ready to return to O's rotation

In Bowie, Chen says he feels ready to return to O's rotation
BOWIE, Md. - Left-hander Wei-Yin Chen, out since mid-May with a strained right oblique, said he's ready to return to the Orioles rotation after pitching tonight for Double-A Bowie. Now we wait to find out if the O's brass agrees with him. He had one bad inning - giving up four runs in the fourth - over a five-inning outing for the Baysox. Chen gave up five hits with two walks and five strikeouts. He threw 79 pitches. He used all his pitches and took a two-hit shutout to the fourth. He was...

Chen fans Harper, two scoreless tonight for Bowie (done after five)
BOWIE, Md - Wearing a No. 16 home white jersey, the same number he wears for the Orioles, left-hander Wei-Yin Chen has pitched two shutout innings tonight for the Double-A Bowie Baysox in a rehab start against the Harrisburg Senators. In the top of the first, he struck out Bryce Harper. Brian Goodwin singled to right to lead off the game before Chen fanned Harper looking on a 2-2 fastball over the outside corner. Chen then picked Goodwin off first before he struck out Jerad Head swinging to...

In Bowie, Nolan Reimold says hamstring is fine and he's ready to return to Orioles
BOWIE, Md - Since June 18, Nolan Reimold has been playing with the Double-A Bowie Baysox for the first time since 2008. But his minor league rehab stint may only have two games to go. Reimold will play left field and bat third tonight and he expects to play in at least one game of Sunday's doubleheader. After that, he could be rejoining the Orioles for their road trip that begins Tuesday. Reimold hasn't played in the majors since May 11 due a right hamstring injury, but he says he's ready...

BOWIE, Md. - Wei-Yin Chen's rehab assignment, which could be a short one, begins tonight at Prince George's Stadium and Nolan Reimold's rehab continues as the Double-A Bowie Baysox host the Harrisburg Senators. Bryce Harper will play left field and bat second for Harrisburg, putting three current big leaguers on the field at first pitch tonight.

Orioles were strong in the late innings, and postgame interviews last night

Orioles were strong in the late innings, and postgame interviews last night
After an impressive Orioles win last night reporters had an impressive array of postgame interviews at our disposal. In one corner of the clubhouse Kevin Gausman was talking about his first win, and pitching in relief. In another corner, Manny Machado was talking about tagging up to get to third base where he could score a key run later on an infield hit. And then there was Nate McLouth talking about hitting a key go-ahead homer. McLouth provided maybe the quote of the night when asked if his...

Clubhouse quotes after the Orioles beat Yankees

Clubhouse quotes after the Orioles beat Yankees
Here is a sampling of some of the quotes from around the O's clubhouse after their comeback, 4-3 win over the New York Yankees tonight: Nate McLouth on his homer in the seventh: "It was a breaking ball, elevated, pretty much down the middle. I'm sure he didn't want to throw it there, but was able to put a good part of the bat on it." McLouth on the team win: "(Kevin) Gausman came in and I'm sure he hadn't come out of the bullpen yet in pro ball and that is not easy. It's totally...

McLouth hits go-ahead homer, Gausman gets first major league win as O's top Yankees

McLouth hits go-ahead homer, Gausman gets first major league win as O's top Yankees
Nate McLouth doesn't start much against left-handed pitchers but he came through tonight against a southpaw, CC Sabathia. Kevin Gausman is not usually a reliever, but he came through tonight out of the 'pen. And the Orioles rallied to beat the Yankees 4-3 in front of 40,041 at Camden Yards. After the Yankees scored three runs on seven hits in 2 2/3 innings off starter T.J. McFarland, Gausman came on the third and shut down the Yankees after that to get his first major league win. McLouth...

How will T.J. McFarland do against the Yankees tonight? (Gausman comes on in third)

How will T.J. McFarland do against the Yankees tonight? (Gausman comes on in third)
Tonight T.J. McFarland gets a big opportunity. It's his first chance to show the Orioles what he can do as a starting pitcher as he takes the mound against the Yankees. McFarland is 1-0 with a 4.14 ERA, and the Rule 5 pick has been effective in a long relief role. But he's been a starter most of his minor league career. He made 116 career appearances before this season and 107 were as a starter. Every outing he had the last two years came as a starter, with most of those at Double-A and some...

Nate McLouth on the home crowd, facing Sabathia and more (draft picks head to Aberdeen)
It was after one of the late season games last season when the Orioles' Nate McLouth compared the Camden Yards fans to a college football crowd. He thought the home-field advantage was that good then. McLouth would like to see the same turnout this weekend, when big crowds are expected for all three games of the Yankees-Orioles series that starts here tonight. "I can just speak on what I'd heard that Camden Yards seemed to be a place in the past where a lot of New York fans would come and...

ESPN's Buster Olney on the Orioles-Yankees rivalry
The Orioles turned around several years of losing to the Yankees in 2012, the year they ended their long playoff drought. After going 5-13 against New York from 2009-11, the Orioles went 9-9 vs. the Yankees in the regular season last year. They lost the first four games the teams played and are 12-8 in the last 20 regular season games. The teams have split six games this season with New York scoring 22 runs to the O's 20.
