Offseason to-do lists for AL East teams

Offseason to-do lists for AL East teams
The Cleveland Indians haven't won a World Series since 1948 and it's going to stay that way for at least another year. The Cubs beat the Indians 8-7 in 10 innings in Game 7 of the World Series. Interesting that the Cleveland Cavaliers came back from a 3-1 deficit to win the NBA championship last June, but the Indians blew a 3-1 lead in the World Series. The Indians, who lost Game 7 of the 1997 World Series in extra innings to the Marlins, have three key free agents - Mike Napoli, Raijai...

Showalter on Gausman, Trumbo on No. 40 and more clubhouse quotes

Showalter on Gausman, Trumbo on No. 40 and more clubhouse quotes
NEW YORK - Considering that the New York Yankees had torched Orioles pitching for 27 runs on 36 hits the past two days, throwing a shutout this afternoon was a nice upgrade. And, it provided a much-needed Orioles win. Right-hander Kevin Gausman gave up seven hits and fanned nine over seven innings as the Orioles beat the Yankees 5-0 to avoid a sweep and record their fifth shutout. Gausman improved to 6-10 with a 3.73 ERA and has thrown 13 scoreless his past two starts. He is 1-1 with an ERA of...

Davis on blowout losses, Hunter on O's reunion (O's win, 5-0)

Davis on blowout losses, Hunter on O's reunion (O's win, 5-0)
NEW YORK - The Orioles have suffered two blowout losses at Yankee Stadium the last two days. While all losses count the same, they may not feel the same. Orioles first baseman Chris Davis seemed to agree with that sentiment when I asked him this morning about the recent run of blowout losses. "We don't like it," Davis said. "It is one thing to get beat and it's one thing to kind of get your face rubbed in it. It can be something that really unites a team and ignites a fire. I think with...

Orioles sign Tommy Hunter, recall Oliver Drake (updated)

Orioles sign Tommy Hunter, recall Oliver Drake (updated)
The Orioles added two more pitchers to the active roster today, including Tommy Hunter, their former set-up man and closer who signed as a free agent after the Indians released him last week. Oliver Drake has been recalled from Triple-A Norfolk, the latest changes to a bullpen that's stayed busy in New York. The lineup card no longer lists left-hander T.J. McFarland, who apparently has been optioned, and outfielder Julio Borbon, who's out of options and must have been designated for...

O's blog: Orioles look to salvage series finale at Yankee Stadium

O's blog: Orioles look to salvage series finale at Yankee Stadium
NEW YORK - Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman is out to end a long streak of unsuccessful outings on the road. Gausman is winless in his last 25 road starts. His last win away from Camden Yards was on Aug. 17, 2014 at Cleveland. In his 25 road starts since, Gausman is 0-16 with an ERA of 5.55. This season, Gausman has looked very different on the home and on the road. In 10 starts at Oriole Park, he is 5-1 with a 2.48 ERA. In 13 road starts, he is 0-9 with a 5.32 ERA and .296 batting average...

Gausman vs. Sabathia today in the Bronx

Gausman vs. Sabathia today in the Bronx
Should your main concerns rest upon a rotation that's surrendered 12 earned runs and 13 hits over 5 1/3 innings in the first two games in the Bronx? Or should it be the bullpen with the revolving door and the sudden inability to cover for the rotation? T.J. McFarland, Mychal Givens, Donnie Hart and Brad Brach combined yesterday to allow eight earned runs and 11 hits in four innings. Or should it be center fielder Adam Jones, who remains day-to-day with a strained left hamstring, while Chris...

Adam Jones on his injury, other clubhouse quotes after loss

Adam Jones on his injury, other clubhouse quotes after loss
NEW YORK - Well, Manny Machado hit two home runs. Other than that, not a lot went right for the Orioles tonight. This was a disastrous start to a big three-game series in the Bronx, as the O's got hammered 14-4 by the Yankees. The Orioles certainly could not build on their run of three wins in four games against the Nationals. Tonight they trailed 8-1 after the second inning. Before the second inning was over, both starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo and center fielder Adam Jones were out of the...

Jones leaves with hamstring strain (O's blown out 14-4)

Jones leaves with hamstring strain (O's blown out 14-4)
NEW YORK - Before today's game, it seemed clear that Orioles manager Buck Showalter was not convinced that center fielder Adam Jones was going to start tonight's game. That was after Jones was pinch-hit for the in ninth inning last night due to cramping in his hamstring. Tonight, Jones did start, batted once and was removed when the Orioles took the field for the second inning. It was announced that Jones left the game with a left hamstring strain. Nolan Reimold was in the on-deck circle to...

Showalter pregame on Adam Jones, the roster move and more
NEW YORK - Orioles center fielder Adam Jones was pinch-hit for in the ninth inning in Washington last night, but he's in the starting lineup tonight for the series opener against the Yankees in New York. Jones was removed from the game due to cramping in his hamstring, but said after that contest at Nats Park that he would play tonight. When asked today about his health, he said simply, "I'm in the lineup, right?" Manager Buck Showalter said Jones has tested the hamstring a few times here...

Orioles and Yankees lineups, McFarland off DL (updated)
Adam Jones is in center field tonight in New York after leaving last night's game in the ninth inning with cramping in his hamstring. Francisco Pena is catching Yovani Gallardo in the series opener against the Yankees. The Orioles will activate left-hander T.J. McFarland from the disabled list, as expected. Update: The Orioles announced that they designated Logan Ondrusek for assignment off the 25-man roster. Not the same as a DFA. If memory serves, he stays in the organzation. They're not...

Notes after the non-waiver trade deadline

Notes after the non-waiver trade deadline
The Cleveland Indians acquired a game-changing lefty, Andrew Miller, for their bullpen and an outfielder with a dependable bat, Brandon Guyer. The Texas Rangers picked up Jeremy Jeffress, Carlos Beltran and Jonathan Lucroy. So as the non-waiver trade deadline rumors end and the dust settles, the Rangers and Indians are the most improved teams in baseball. A couple of months after the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Golden State Warriors to win the NBA championship, the Indians are set to make a...

The sixth inning proves pivotal as the Orioles fall at New York

The sixth inning proves pivotal as the Orioles fall at New York
It was one inning in one game, but it was pivotal tonight. In the sixth inning at Yankee Stadium, the Orioles failed to maximize a rally. Meanwhile, the Yankees took advantage of a rally of their own. It led to another O's loss, this one 7-1 to New York. The Orioles have dropped three straight games, scoring just four runs in that span. The Birds fall to 2-3 on this road trip after a 2-0 start and to 53-39 for the season. The Orioles were down 3-0 and Yankees starter Nathan Eovaldi had thrown...

With home runs aplenty, is there any pitching in the AL East?

With home runs aplenty, is there any pitching in the AL East?
We know there is hitting aplenty in the American League East, but can any of the contenders pitch? The Blue Jays won the AL home run title and the division last season. This season, the Orioles led the majors in home runs while Toronto is fourth and Boston sixth. The Red Sox lead the AL in runs with 369. The Orioles are third and the Blue Jays tied for sixth. The Red Sox have the highest average (.291) and on-base percentage (.357). So while there's plenty of hitting, there is a common thread...

One man's memory of George Steinbrenner

One man's memory of George Steinbrenner
You've probably heard that George Steinbrenner passed away this morning at the age of 80. I wanted to share with you some of my thoughts from being able to meet and interview him over the years to just being able to hear how he impacted so many people's lives, including my own. I met Mr. Steinbrenner some 20 years ago, first as a player and then as a broadcaster. He was always nice, respectful, and down to earth. He always made me feel better about myself after spending some time...
