Nate McLouth's walk-off homer against Yankees snaps Orioles' skid

2013-05-21 21:21:00

You could pick a number of storylines from a sticky, summer-like Tuesday evening at Camden Yards and really not go wrong. There was the obvious, made-for-TV clip of Nate McLouth lifting a game-ending homer over the right-field wall in the bottom of...

The Baltimore sports scene is blessed with a bunch of talented bloggers who bring their unique perspective to the conversation. Each week, I hope to chat with one of them in a regular feature called Blogger on Blogger. This week, I exchanged emails with...

Orioles notes and observations (Jim Johnson, Garcia, Showalter, Casilla)

2013-05-21 04:08:00

The knee-jerk reaction to Jim Johnson’s third straight blown save is to pull him from the closer’s spot for now. I’m probably in the minority here. But I don’t do it. And I know Orioles manager Buck Showalter won’t do it....

Orioles observations on the losing streak, starting rotation, second base and umpires

2013-05-20 05:20:00

OK, so the Orioles have lost five straight, but it’s not time to panic. Not yet. Last year’s team had just one losing streak over three games, a six-game skid from May 26 to June 1.� But just four of those losses came on the road, as...

Orioles send Ryan Flaherty to Norfolk

2013-05-18 18:03:00

The Orioles announced after Saturday’s 10-6 loss to the Tampa Bay rays that they optioned infielder Ryan Flaherty to Triple-A Norfolk. Flaherty, 26, was hitting .133 with a .228 on-base percentage and a .233 slugging percentage in 90 at-bats...

Navarro starting Friday against Rays; Could Flaherty be heading to Triple-A?

2013-05-17 14:23:00

The Orioles have an interesting starting lineup in tonight’s series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays, which includes Yamaico Navarro starting at second base. This could be the beginning of the Orioles taking an extended look at Navarro at the...

Jason Hammel struggles and comeback bid falls short as Orioles lose to Rays, 12-10

2013-05-17 21:03:00

The Orioles again proved Friday night that there are few deficits out of their reach, injecting late-inning suspense into a game that appeared to be a blowout. After trailing by eight runs in the eighth inning, they brought the tying run to the plate,...

Tides still hot after slugfest win against IronPigs

2013-05-15 03:44:02

IT WAS TURN BACK THE CLOCK NIGHT at Harbor Park on Tuesday, but not for the Norfolk Tides. There is no time like the present for a team that can practically do no wrong. Danny Valencia hit two home runs and Luis Exposito's two-out, two-run double in the...

Alex Burnett and Yamaico Navarro get the call -- again

2013-05-14 17:22:00

Right-handed reliever Alex Burnett, who was officially sent to the minors Saturday, was promoted to take Wei-Yin Chen’s place Tuesday (which is allowable under baseball’s rules because he was replacing an injured player). It’s the...

Orioles put LHP Chen on DL with oblique strain, recall RHP Burnett and INF Navarro

2013-05-14 13:09:03

BALTIMORE (AP) — Orioles left-hander Wei-Yin Chen has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a right oblique strain. Chen left Sunday's start against Minnesota with a pain in his right side. The move, made Tuesday, is retroactive to May 13....

Chen 'very disappointed' about oblique strain; Burnett, Navarro recalled

2013-05-14 12:49:00

Lefty Wei-Yin Chen, the Orioles' most consistent starter since the beginning of last season, is “very disappointed right now” to be going on the disabled list for the first time in his brief major league career. Chen confirmed that the...

Orioles pregame notes on Gonzalez, Jurrjens, Arrieta, Chen, Wada, Roberts

2013-05-14 14:08:00

Lots of pre-game notes here in addition to the roster moves (Wei-Yin Chen to the disabled list with a strained right oblique; infielder Yamaico Navarro and pitcher Alex Burnett recalled from Triple-A). Here goes: ** Miguel Gonzalez, currently on the...

Dickerson, in particular, has been very impressive, batting .333 in 16 games and launching two home runs in Tuesday night's slump-busting victory over the Yankees. Navarro has made some terrific defensive plays and has four hits in his first 12 Orioles at-bats.

2013-05-20 00:00:00

The Orioles traded minor league pitcher Jhondaniel Medina to the Pittsburgh Pirates for the 25-year-old infielder, who has a total of just 152 career big league at-bats with Pittsburgh, Boston and the Kansas City Royals. He's probably a long shot for the utility infield spot.

Even more so than the leadoff role, second base is Roberts' if he proves he is healthy and can play every day. Those are two separate questions, though. Roberts has appeared in just 115 games over the past three seasons and he's now 35.
