Teagarden on trying to get his bat going plus some minor league notes

Teagarden on trying to get his bat going plus some minor league notes
Taylor Teagarden makes his seventh start behind the plate today for the Orioles. The club is 3-3 in his first six starts, but Teagarden is 0-for-20 at bat and trying to get into the hit column here today. "I've been taking tons of swings," he said. "I'm just trying to get my bat speed going and shorten the curve or whatever to get back to what I'm capable of hitting. I have high expectations for myself and hopefully we get it going soon." Today he is catching Freddy Garcia, who has...

Jake Arrieta talks about the possibility of a future bullpen role

Jake Arrieta talks about the possibility of a future bullpen role
Orioles pitcher Jake Arrieta was called up from Triple-A Norfolk yesterday to provide a fresh arm for the Orioles' bullpen, but what if the Orioles wanted to move him permanently to the bullpen or at least temporarily give it a shot? Arrieta is very open to that and sounds almost like he expects to see that happen. "I've talked to my family and my wife about this," Arrieta said. "I just want to have success again in the big leagues. If that is as a starter or reliever, it doesn't matter...

My take: Kevin Gausman should return from the minors ASAP

My take: Kevin Gausman should return from the minors ASAP
He has a record of 0-3 and ERA of 7.66 in five major league starts. He has given up seven runs twice in a game already. Maybe this is the exact right time to send Kevin Gausman to the minor leagues. I don't think it is. I understand the move in sending Gausman to Triple-A after Thursday's game so they could get a fresh arm for the bullpen. I understand that Gausman may have to stay in the minors for 10 days unless they put Miguel Gonzalez on the paternity leave list and can get him back...

Machado talks doubles after O's win over Boston (plus Tillman and Davis quotes)
After tonight's game - a game where he added two more doubles and the Orioles beat Boston 2-0 - I asked Manny Machado about the latest impressive stat for him. According to ESPN Stats and Info, here are the leaders for most doubles through 68 team games by a player under age 22 since 1920: 30 - Manny Machado, 2013 25 - Ted Williams, 1939 24 - Joe DiMaggio, 1936 "Talking about Ted Williams, one of the best players to play the game. To be mentioned in that category, it's a great honor,"...

Tillman and the bullpen blank Boston 2-0

Tillman and the bullpen blank Boston 2-0
Chris Tillman struggled to throw consistent strikes early in this game tonight, but that didn't stop him from shutting down the team that leads the majors in runs scored. Tillman pitched six scoreless innings as the Orioles beat Boston 2-0 in front of 39,158 at Camden Yards. With the win, the Orioles are 16-8 over the last 24 games and moved to within 1 1/2 games of first-place Boston. Tillman gave up just three hits with four walks and three strikeouts. He threw 106 pitches and improved...

O's come to terms with Sisco and Seabrooke; Wieters talks about Gausman
The Orioles have reached contract agreements with two more draft picks, coming to terms with their second-round selection, California high school catcher Chance Sisco, and their fifth-round pick, left-handed pitcher Travis Seabrooke from Crestwood Secondary School in Ontario, Canada. The signings will not become official until the players pass physicals and that is still to come for both. An 18-year-old lefty hitter, Sisco was the 61st pick in the draft. The 17-year-old Seabrooke was the...

A look at the Orioles' recent winning ways against the Red Sox
From 2006-09, the Orioles went 3-15, 6-12, 6-12 and then 2-16 in the season series against the Boston Red Sox. Looks like those days are over. Last year, the Orioles went 13-5 against the Red Sox. With last night's win, the Orioles are 3-1 this season against Boston. The Orioles have now won 12 of the last 16 against Boston. Since July 19, 2011, they are 22-9 against Boston.

Wieters and Ellsbury: Round 2 is tonight

Wieters and Ellsbury: Round 2 is tonight
At Camden Yards this evening, it's night two of a game within a game. The Orioles are playing the first-place Red Sox and once again, the league's best basestealer may challenge the league's best catcher throwing out runners. Last night, Jacoby Ellsbury tried twice and got thrown out once by Matt Wieters. When Wieters gunned down Ellsbury in the seventh inning with an amazing throw, that snapped Ellsbury's streak of stealing 18 consecutive bases. Ellsbury is 30-for-33 on the year and...

New Aberdeen manager brings energy and family baseball history to O's organization
Matt Merullo is a positive, upbeat guy. He is also a real solid baseball man. He is also in his first year as a manager in the Orioles organization and about to lead the short-season Single-A Aberdeen IronBirds into a new season, beginning Monday night at Ripken Stadium. He brings a lot of experience to the O's and his job in Aberbeen. He was a backup catcher in the big leagues with the White Sox, Indians and Twins.

O's option Gausman to Triple-A
After a game where the Orioles played 13 innings and used six bullpen pitchers, they are going to need a fresh arm for Friday's game. And to add a player to their roster for Friday's game, they optioned Kevin Gausman to Triple-A Norfolk after Thursday's game. A corresponding roster move will be announced before Friday's game with Boston. Gausman was in line for his first big league win tonight until the Red Sox tied the game 4-4 in the top of the seventh.

Chris Davis on the win in the opener of a big series with Boston (plus Gausman and McFarland quotes)

Chris Davis on the win in the opener of a big series with Boston (plus Gausman and McFarland quotes)
Of course, after a long extra-innings game with the Boston Red Sox, during an interview with Chris Davis, someone had to ask him if he thought he'd get on the mound tonight. "Yeah, I thought about it," Davis said. "Once it gets late in extra innings, you start going through all the scenarios. Who we have on the bench, whose DHing, who would play first if I had to go in. Hopefully that is something I'll never have to do again and I can go ride off into the sunset. "I'm not going to say...

Davis' bloop single lifts Orioles to 5-4 win in extras

Davis' bloop single lifts Orioles to 5-4 win in extras
They won it on a bloop. Major league homer leader Chris Davis dropped a bloop single into short left field in the last of the 13th and it scored Nick Markakis and the O's outlasted Boston 5-4 with a walkoff win in the 13th. With two outs against Alex Wilson, Markakis walked and Adam Jones singled to right. That set the stage for the walkoff blooper by Davis and the O's victory. Tommy Hunter kept this game tied at 4-4 and gave the O's some momentum on the mound tonight. He pitched 2 1/3...

How about the Wieters vs. Ellsbury matchup in this series? (O's get early lead)

How about the Wieters vs. Ellsbury matchup in this series? (O's get early lead)
The next four days we have a matchup at Camden Yards of the Orioles and Red Sox. We also have a matchup of the American League's stolen base leader and the best catcher in the AL in throwing out runners. Boston's Jacoby Ellsbury is 29-for-31 (93.5) in stealing bases and Matt Wieters has thrown out 52.2 percent at 12-for-23. If you can get on a roll stealing bases, Ellsbury is on one. He has stolen at least one base in his last five games, tying his career high (June 13-18, 2009) and tying...

Pedro Strop: "I can't wait to pitch again"
Pedro Strop said he is turning the page. Even as he is the primary topic on the local talk shows. and the focus of stories and blogs and message boards, Strop said he is focusing now on the next game and not his last game. "This is a new day," he said moments ago in the Orioles clubhouse. "I can't wait to pitch again. I can't wait to be back on the mound and do whatever I have to do to help my team win." He was asked if he is physically sound right now. "Yeah, my body feels pretty...

Should Strop have heard the boo birds? (plus Aberdeen's preliminary roster)

Should Strop have heard the boo birds? (plus Aberdeen's preliminary roster)
There is no question that fans have a right to boo. They pay good money to attend the games at Camden Yards and that is a way to show their displeasure with a player's performance. That doesn't mean I have to like it. As he struggled on the mound and was hearing a chorus of boos when he left it yesterday, I was feeling for Pedro Strop. He pitched very poorly and his performance directly contributed to a loss. He wasn't the only reason the Orioles lost. I believe Jason Hammel was...

Strop and Hammel weigh in on O's loss to Angels
In the quiet of the Orioles clubhouse after today's game, I interviewed Pedro Strop for the "O's Xtra" postgame show on MASN. Here are his comments after he allowed four runs and three hits today in just one-third of an inning to take the loss for the Orioles. Q: You could not hold the lead today. What is your take on the outing? Strop: "Not good. Only thing I can say. I couldn't do the job." Q: Do you think it was location or stuff or a combination? Strop: "I would say location....

O's lose 4-2 lead as Angels avoid sweep at Camden Yards

O's lose 4-2 lead as Angels avoid sweep at Camden Yards
This one got away. The Orioles took a 4-2 lead to the top of the seventh this afternoon, but Jason Hammel appeared to tire and Pedro Strop struggled yet again. The Angels scored six times that inning to take an 8-4 lead and went on to post a 9-5 win over the Orioles. Hammel issued a single and walk to end his day. Strop got Hank Conger to hit a high chopper toward the mound. Had he fielded it cleanly or even let it go, it might have been a double play, but it hit off his glove for a single...
