Playing 2nd base and leading off tonight for the class AA Bowie Baysox, Brian Roberts had no official at bats in his first pro baseball game since May 16th, 2011. With RHP Zach Clark on the mound for the Baysox, Roberts came out for the top of the 1st inning and did not move to…

You hear both opinions often, but the Orioles seem to be sticking with their original plan. Some say that Dylan Bundy should have started the year at AA Bowie, while others think the Orioles should keep on their current track with slowly increasing his workload at a lower level. Let’s remember, the kid is only…

…over Mitch Atkins. And Rick VandenHurk. And Jo-Jo Reyes. Okay, maybe that last one is a bit of a stretch. The point is, Dana Eveland got the spot start for the Orioles last night with Jason Hammel being skipped for his start this week due to a sire right knee; and he performed just as…

Dylan Bundy pitched 9 innings of shutout baseball for the Delmarva Shorebirds, allowing no hits and striking out 15…over three separate appearances. The headline may be a stretch of the truth, but I wouldn’t doubt if it becomes a fact sooner than later. Through three starts for the Class A Delmarva Shorebirds, Bundy has pitched…

Manny Machado began his minor league career last season at Single-A Delmarva, and in his first game there, went 2-3 with a double and 2 RBIs. When he got promoted to Frederick mid-season, he went 1-4 in his 1st game there, tacking on a home run at the High-A level. After being promoted with 2B…

The Orioles named Tim Bascom their minor league pitcher of the year in 2011 after going 10-4 with a 2.97 ERA in 136.1 innings pitched between Frederick and Bowie, and it was a good sight to see last night when he took the mound in Bowie’s home and season opener versus the Harrisburg Senators and…
