Mostly about me

It's true that I accepted The Sun's buyout package. My last day is Aug. 1. I'll have much more to say on the subject as the date draws closer. As for where I land, nothing is official yet. I'm weighing my options - and it's not like I have a lot of ...

Roster move

The Orioles optioned Radhames Liz to Triple-A Norfolk after the game and activated reliever Jamie Walker from the disabled list. Liz needs to work on his command in the minors. He pitches up in the strike zone and falls behind too many hitters. He wasn' ...

Quality start

Garrett Olson became only the third starter to go six innings in the last 11 games since the break. His pitch count stood at 89 after the sixth, and manager Dave Trembley sent him back out for the seventh. I'm sure that sparked a debate in a few ...

Updating Mora

Melvin Mora went down hard in the eighth inning after Angels reliever Darren Oliver buried a fastball behind his left knee. Mora said he couldn't feel his foot for about 45 seconds, but he seemed much better while standing at his locker after the game. ...

Kids today

I think that counts. But I wish the runs wouldn't count. Can we just have a free trial of young pitchers like we do with products? 30-day free trial and you can cancel before 30 days expires. That would be sweet. Yeah, when Liz was retiring these ...

Pre-game Trembley

The attachment to this topic involves the lack of viable options at Triple-A Norfolk or the bullpen. But it’s becoming clear that manager Dave Trembley won’t stand pat much longer. Finally, a Peter Finch reference from “Network.” It’s been a while. ...

The lineup

Looking at the condition of his bullpen, manager Dave Trembley said, "Liz better give us some innings. Otherwise, I'll be asking a little bit too much of some people." Dennis Sarfate was supposed to replace Matt Albers as the bridge to the set-up man. ...

Down on the farm

Thanks to all for wishing me good health. Chris Roberson is hitting .607 (17-for-28) in his last seven games at Triple-A Norfolk. Eric Perlozzo drove in three runs at Aberdeen. I’m back at the laptop today. We’ll see if I can stay here. I’m ...

Last entry tonight

Unfortunately, I won’t be working the blog tonight. I’m feeling under the weather and will be heading home. The press box is no place for a sick person (insert joke here). If you’re interested, here’s what manager Dave Trembley said about his lineup ...

Daniel Cabrera

Make that one win in his last 12 starts. If it wasn't for the Kansas City Royals, Daniel Cabrera would be looking for his first victory since May 20. He's gone the distance twice to defeat the Royals this season. He owns them. It's the rest of the ...
