TOMMY HUNTER RUMORS & GOSSIP

On Tuesday night, the Orioles dropped their fourth game in a row as they lost to the Toronto Blue Jays, 8-6. With the loss, Baltimore has lost three straight series; however, they are still tied for first place in the American League East with the Tampa Bay Rays at 29-21. Once again, the Orioles got a shaky start from a pitcher – this time, Jake Arrieta – and much like Tommy...

It looks like after the loss on Monday night, the Orioles decided to make some moves. As I thought, the Orioles would demote Tommy Hunter today; however, they also sent Xavier Avery back to Triple-A after scuffling pretty badly as of late. Endy Chavez is back from the disabled list. Although Avery did well his first week up in Baltimore and his sample size doesn't indicate...

For the Orioles, it has been an amazing start to the season. However, have the real Birds – at least, from what we have known the last 14 years – finally shown up? The first six weeks were something to behold, as they looked like contenders and took the baseball world by storm; however, in the last eight days, the Orioles have gone 2-6, and the starting pitching – which...

The Baltimore Orioles recalled starting pitcher Tommy Hunter from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday and placed outfielder Endy Chavez on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained left oblique. Hunter, 25, is 2-1 with a 5.00 ERA in six starts this season. Chavez, 34, is batting .133 in 20 games for the Orioles this season. He signed a one-year contract as a free agent on December 20, 2011.

A small crowd last night at Camden Yards saw the Orioles win their second game in a row, and their 10th on the season, as they beat the Toronto Blue Jays, 2-1. There's nothing like a well-pitched, low-scoring ball game, and both teams did that last night. In the first contest of a three-game set, Tommy Hunter pitched six innings, and only gave up a run to record his second...

Tommy Hunter allowed three hits over six innings, Matt Wieters homered off the glove of left fielder Eric Thames, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 on Tuesday night. Hunter (2-1) allowed one run, walked three and struck out three. The only runner to get past first base against the right-hander was Thames, who hit a long home run in the third inning. Pedro...

This week, the Orioles have been riding high in Chicago; however, on Wednesday night it all came to screeching halt. The White Sox earned their first win of the series with an 8-1 drubbing of the Orioles in the Windy City. There’s not much to be said on part of the Orioles. Endy Chavez plated in a run in the second inning, but the bats were quiet after that. Jake Peavy –...

Tommy Hunter returned from a back injury to allowed two runs over five innings in his first start of spring training, and the Baltimore Orioles lost to the Toronto Blue Jays 6-3 on Wednesday. Hunter, who had been sidelined by a lower back injury, threw 74 pitches and gave up five hits and two walks with two strikeouts. He threw four innings last week in a minor league start. J...
