O's come to terms with Josh Hart, close in on Hunter Harvey (O's announce Sisco deal)
The Orioles have agreed to terms on a signing bonus for their second draft pick, high school outfielder Josh Hart, and are getting close to signing their top pick, pitcher Hunter Harvey, a Major League Baseball source said. Hart agreed to a signing bonus of $1.45 million, just under the slot value of $1,508,600 for that pick. Meanwhile, a source said the O's have made a contract offer to Harvey and the sides are considered very close to a deal at this point. Hart was taken out of Parkview...

An interview with the man that feels Manny Machado can get even better on defense

An interview with the man that feels Manny Machado can get even better on defense
Very few know Manny Machado the player and Manny the person better than Orioles third base/infield coach Bobby Dickerson. He worked closely with Machado in the minors and he was one of the instructors that helped him convert from shortstop to third base in those early pregame sessions at Bowie last year. I asked Dickerson what has made Machado so consistently good on defense at third. Dickerson provided some solid insight, but also some surprising insight as well. He thinks Machado can get...

Chris Davis becomes second-fastest Oriole to 25 homers as O's take series in Detroit
Well, it was not a bad last 24 hours for the Orioles. They beat Justin Verlander and Rick Porcello and took another series win against the first-place Detroit Tigers. The Orioles scored six runs in the fourth today, added three in the seventh and four in the ninth in a 13-3 win over Detroit. That is a season high in runs for the O's. The Orioles are 12-5 this season against the American League division leaders - Boston (5-2), Detroit (4-2) and Oakland (3-1). The Orioles have moved 11 games...

O's begin contract talks with Hunter Harvey, two top 10 picks pass physicals (updated)
The Orioles have begun serious negotiations with their top draft pick, right-hander Hunter Harvey out of Bandys High School in Catawba, N.C., according to an industry source. All along it has seemed like once the talks heated up that an agreement could follow pretty quickly. That is still quite possible. This may only take a few days. Harvey was rated by Baseball America as the 33rd-best player overall and the seventh-best right-hander in the draft after a senior year when he went 8-0 with an...

After struggles, Chris Tillman talks about how he took his game to another level

After struggles, Chris Tillman talks about how he took his game to another level
While a few young Orioles pitchers are trying to find some consistent big league success and live up to their potential, the one that has taken his game to the next level is Chris Tillman, who will start this afternoon at Detroit. From 2009-11, Tillman made 36 starts for the Orioles, going 7-15 with an ERA of 5.58. Since the start of last season, Tillman has made 29 starts with the O's, going 16-5 with a 3.26 ERA. Tillman finally has put it together at a time when other young O's hurlers...

Nolan Reimold talks about his night in Bowie

Nolan Reimold talks about his night in Bowie
BOWIE, Md. - Day one of his injury rehab stint with Double-A Bowie went fine for Nolan Reimold, even if he didn't have any hits in the Baysox's 9-1 loss to Harrisburg. Serving as the designated hitter and batting third, Reimold struck out swinging on a 1-2 pitch in the first and fanned swinging on an 0-2 pitch from right-hander Paul Demny in the fourth. In his third and final at bat of the night in the seventh inning, he drove a 3-2 pitch deep to left but it was caught a few steps in front...

Reimold strikes out in first rehab at-bat tonight at Bowie (updated)

Reimold strikes out in first rehab at-bat tonight at Bowie (updated)
BOWIE, Md. - Well, at least he got to see a few pitches. In his first at-bat tonight beginning his injury rehab assignment for Double-A Bowie, Nolan Reimold struck out against Harrisburg right-hander Paul Demny. Reimold chased a high fastball on a 1-2 count to end the Bowie first. He is batting third as the Baysox designated hitter and is expected to get three at-bats in tonight's game, which is being played in front of a sparse crowd on a cloudy night at Prince George's Stadium. Ty Kelly...

In Bowie, Nolan Reimold talks about beginning his injury rehab assignment
BOWIE, Md. - The last time Nolan Reimold played at Bowie's Prince George's Stadium, he hit three home runs. In his last at-bat here, Reimold hit a grand slam. That was in an Eastern League playoff game for the Baysox against Akron on Sept. 4, 2008. "Man, I should have just ended on a good note. Now obviously I can't live up to that," Reimold joked a few minutes ago in the Baysox clubhouse. He is back in Bowie, but this time not as a player working his way up the minor league ladder but...

Henry Urrutia expected to return to Double-A Bowie's lineup tomorrow (Reimold in Bowie lineup)
BOWIE, Md. - The Double-A Bowie Baysox are hoping to open up a six-game homestand tonight at Prince George's Stadium against Harrisburg. Nolan Reimold is expected to begin his injury rehab assignment with the Baysox tonight. But as of 3:50 p.m., a steady rain is falling, the tarp is on the field and there will not be any on-field batting practice. If the game is played, there is a chance that the Orioles could decide to hold Reimold out to keep a player coming back from a hamstring injury...

Report: O's will call up Ishikawa

Report: O's will call up Ishikawa
Norfolk first baseman Travis Ishikawa filed official paperwork over the weekend to opt out of his contract with the Orioles. At some point Tuesday, that was supposed to make him a free agent, but it appears the O's will not let that happen as they are planning to call up Ishikawa from Triple-A. Ishikawa has hit .316 in 49 Norfolk games with seven homers, 31 RBIs, a .413 OBP and a .939 OPS. Against right-handed pitching, he is batting .331 with an OPS of 1.002. The 29-year-old left-handed...

A take on Arrieta, updates on draft pick signings and agreements

A take on Arrieta, updates on draft pick signings and agreements
At this point it, must sound like a broken record when Jake Arrieta hears how he has great stuff. His latest subpar outing came last night in the loss against Detroit. The Orioles can't unlock the key to success for Jake. Arrieta can't do it, either. I've come to think that the constant talk about how good Arrieta can be has become almost a burden for him. There is potential and there are expectations he can't meet. Since his first year in the majors in 2010, his ERA has risen each year...

Arrieta takes the loss as Scherzer, Tigers top the Orioles

Arrieta takes the loss as Scherzer, Tigers top the Orioles
He was pitching for the first time in a big league game since April 21, but for struggling right-hander Jake Arrieta, the results were too similar to his first four starts of 2013 as Detroit beat the Orioles 5-1 at Comerica Park. He had an ERA of 6.63 in those April outings for the Orioles and tonight Arrieta allowed 10 hits and five runs over 4 2/3 innings to fall to 1-2 with a 7.23 ERA. Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer to right in the first and Austin Jackson's RBI single made it 3-1 in...

Orioles reach an agreement with their fourth-round draft pick
The Orioles have reached agreement tonight with their fourth-round draft pick, catcher Jonah Heim from Amherst (N.Y.) High School. It is believed he agreed to the slot money signing bonus of $389,700 as the 129th pick overall in the draft. Heim, who will turn 18 on June 27, is a switch-hitter. He batted .522 as a senior with two homers and 24 RBIs and just three strikeouts in 21 games. He was rated as the 170th-best prospect by Baseball America. He still needs to pass his physical and...

Bryan Harvey hopes son Hunter can sign with O's this week
Bryan Harvey, the former big league pitcher and father of the O's top draft pick, said he expects negotiations with the Orioles to sign Hunter Harvey to heat up and maybe even conclude this week. "Hopefully, they start talking today," Bryan Harvey said. "They called last week and said be patient. They had a couple things they wanted to get done, so hopefully we get everything going and it gets done this week. "I don't think there should be that big of a holdup. It's not like we're...

A look at Orioles' amazing bullpen performance in the Boston series

A look at Orioles' amazing bullpen performance in the Boston series
On Thursday at Camden Yards, in a game the Orioles would win in 13 innings, Brian Matusz came on in relief of Kevin Gausman in the sixth inning. In the seventh inning, Boston scored twice off Matusz. Why is that significant? Because Boston would not score against the Orioles bullpen for the rest of the four-game series. Beginning with the eighth inning Thursday through the end of Sunday's game - when Jim Johnson ended it getting his 25th save - the Red Sox did very little against the O's...

After nine years on mound for O's, Alan Mills now passes on experience to kids at Aberdeen
He pitched for the Orioles for nine seasons, including the 1996 and 1997 playoffs, and Alan Mills returned to the O's organization last year. For the second season in a row, he is the pitching coach at short-season Single-A Aberdeen and will lead his staff of young hurlers into a new season for the IronBirds that begins at 7:35 p.m. tonight against Hudson Valley at Ripken Stadium.

Postgame comments from Gonzalez, Davis and Markakis after O's win over Boston

Postgame comments from Gonzalez, Davis and Markakis after O's win over Boston
He is continuing to wait for the birth of his daughter, but while he was waiting, Miguel Gonzalez took some time today to pitch in a big league game. He pitched 6 1/3 innings to lead the Orioles past the Red Sox, improving to 3-0 with a 3.18 ERA in four career games against Boston. Has it been hard to pitch with matters at home on his mind? "It gets me pumped up. I'm excited," Gonzalez said. "I'm excited for her to come. She's taking a little longer than we thought, but just waiting...

He hasn't pitched in a game since April 21 for the Orioles but they need a starter for tomorrow's game in Detroit and it's going to be Jake Arrieta getting that start, Buck Showalter said after today's game. "Been waiting for an opportunity and I look forward to capitalizing on that and trying to help this team continue to win," Arrieta said after today's game.

Gonzalez tops Lester and Davis drives in three as O's win series vs. Boston
The Orioles beat Jon Lester. They won the series over Boston three games to one. They moved to within 1 ½ games of the first-place Sox.

The Orioles continued their recent dominance of the Red Sox by winning their sixth straight series against Boston and they have taken nine of the last ten series between the teams since Sept. 19, 2011.

It's Gonzalez against Lester in series finale (Urrutia out of Bowie lineup)

It's Gonzalez against Lester in series finale (Urrutia out of Bowie lineup)
As Jon Lester faces the Orioles at Camden Yards this afternoon, maybe his aura of invincibility against them is over. The Orioles pinned their first-ever loss on Lester the last time the Birds faced him on Sept. 21, when Lester went seven innings and gave up eight hits and four runs in a 4-2 Orioles win at Fenway Park. While Lester is 14-1 with an ERA of 2.63 in 21 career starts against Baltimore, he was 0-1 with an ERA of 4.26 in three starts last season. The Orioles were 3-0 in those games...
