Nats clubhouse remains determined despite trades of Murphy and Adams

Nats clubhouse remains determined despite trades of Murphy and Adams
Second baseman Daniel Murphy was making his way through the Nationals clubhouse about one hour after it was announced he had been traded to the Chicago Cubs. He was in his civilian clothes with a backpack on his back. He was talking and shaking hands with now former teammates and team personnel. Nationals clubhouse manager Mike "Wally" Wallace was taping together moving boxes and placing them by Murphy's locker. Two lockers over from Murphy's, first baseman Ryan Zimmerman addressed the...

Montanez gone (w/lineup change and Jones update)

Montanez gone (w/lineup change and Jones update)
The Orioles optioned Lou Montanez to Triple-A Norfolk before today's game. If you're counting, that's 32 players left in camp. Montanez never had a chance to make the club without an injury opening up a spot in the outfield. He hit .319 with three doubles, one triple and eight RBIs. His 20 at-bats ranked second to Robert Andino's 21. Meanwhile, Adam Jones has been scratched from the lineup. Felix Pie will bat second and play center field. Nolan Reimold moves down to fifth. No word on...

Guthrie update

Guthrie update
The Yankees loaded the bases against Jeremy Guthrie with no outs in the fourth inning. They must want him to pitch from the stretch, like Rick Kranitz did with Brian Matusz in the intrasquad game. Nick Johnson struck out looking before David Winfree, who replaced Mark Teixeira and shouldn't be confused with David Winfield, grounded to first. Yankees 5, Orioles 1. Guthrie began the inning by hitting Francisco Cervelli, and shortstop Cesar Izturis complicated it by committing an error....

Tillman on Tillman

Tillman on Tillman
Robert Andino dropped a fly ball in left field in the eighth inning. He looked like a shortstop trying to play the outfield. Hard to pile too much blame on him. Chris Tillman found some positive aspects about tonight's start, but he didn't have many kind things to say about his 27-pitch third inning. He kept going back to how long that inning lasted, though he threw five more pitches in the second. "I thought it went well overall, but that third inning, those kinds of innings are...

No shortage of bullpen candidates

No shortage of bullpen candidates
If you want to point to an area where there will likely be jobs to be won in spring training in March, it's the Orioles' bullpen. There are a lot of questions right now. Will Koji be the closer? Can Sarfate and Ray come back from injury? Will Kam Mickolio emerge with that mid 90's fastball? Here are some candidates for next year's bullpen that maybe you haven't thought much about.
