Manager Buck Showalter confirmed again yesterday that the Orioles will bring up an infielder and likely go with an 11-man pitching staff when third baseman Manny Machado serves his suspension. Machado didn't drop his appeal and a hearing could take place next week in New York. Which infielder will get the call? Jemile Weeks hasn't played since May 27 due to a couple of health issues, the most recent being conjunctivitis. He also lacks typical utility skills, mostly playing second base and...

Reviewing the replay reversal with Williams, Desmond

Upon further review, Nationals manager Matt Williams isn't sure the on-field umpires conferring with New York-based replay officials got it right when they reversed a call on an apparent inside-the-park home run by Ian Desmond in a Friday's 2-1 loss to the Braves. Neither does Desmond, who acknowledges he doesn't know all the ins and outs of the new expanded replay but says he's seen plays in the past when outfielders have picked up a ball resting at the base of the wall and thrown it in...

Williams on replay challenge, Zimmerman at first, Fister's next step

VIERA, Fla. - When Matt Williams strolled out of the first base dugout in the seventh inning of Sunday's game to challenge a safe call by first base umpire Gary Cederstrom, the Nationals manager knew that the initial call was correct. So why did he endure a 1:56 replay review to confirm what he already knew? "At some point during the game, you have to practice and we want to work the process as much as we can. ... It wouldn't be right for us to go through the whole game and not use one if...

WIlliams requests replay review, call upheld

VIERA, Fla. - Nationals manager Matt Williams just challenged a call by first base umpire Gary Cederstrom, and was unsuccessful. With two down in the seventh, Ezequiel Carrera singled to left, but left fielder Bryce Harper fielded the ball and threw behind the runner at first, firing a strike to first baseman Ryan Zimmerman. Carrera appeared to get back to the bag ahead of Zimmerman's tag, but Williams strolled out of the dugout and requested the video replay to be reviewed. After review...

News and notes on replay, Desmond, Harper and Fister

JUPITER, Fla. - Matt Williams will manage the Nationals for the home portion of Sunday's split-squad games, when Justin Verlander and the Tigers roar into Space Coast Stadium. Triple-A Syracuse skipper Billy Gardner will manager the other split-squad game versus the Astros in Kissimmee. Williams and the Nats' major league staff will be in Viera because it's the team's second game with replay this spring - and the game's on MASN HD beginning at 1 p.m., to boot. But in order to get...

Some of this, some of that

In case you missed it late last night, the Nationals agreed to terms with Ross Detwiler on a contract for the 2014 season, one that will pay the left-hander $3 million with a chance to earn $50,000 more if he throws 180 innings. That leaves seven arbitration-eligible Nats players without contracts at this point: Jerry Blevins, Tyler Clippard, Ian Desmond, Doug Fister, Wilson Ramos, Drew Storen and Jordan Zimmermann. As I mentioned earlier in the week, expect a number of deals to come in a...

The Orioles and the 1976 incident that got scoreboard replays banned

Orioles

Tucked in at the end of the press release announcing Major League Baseball's new instant replay system - MASNsports.com's Steve Melewski has the full rundown here - is a paragraph announcing the return of one creative use of technology that has been absent from big league ballparks for 38 years. "Clubs will now have the right to show replays of all close plays on its ballpark scoreboard, regardless of whether the play is reviewed," reads the passage. Though it makes little sense,...
