Not even Prince Fielder(notes) really knows what he might have done if a phalanx of security guards and teammates hadn’t prevented the furious Milwaukee slugger from entering the Los Angeles clubhouse after a ninth-inning beaning.

(W)hen the opportunity to play for my hometown team came up, I couldn't turn it down.

"He's everything you want to see in a pitcher," Beatty said before Tuesday's game against Hickory at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium. "He's very aggressive, has a lot of energy on the mound and he gets it done quickly. The guy goes out there and throws like 30 pitches in three innings. That's a pitching coach's dream right there."

Trembley addressed the series of key base-running mistakes during his pre-game media briefing Monday, though he didn't really outline any solution to what has become a chronic problem. The Orioles, according to club officials, easily lead the major leagues in making outs on the base paths.

"It's certainly not something you want to put on a highlight film or use as an instructional video," Trembley said Monday. "What you learn from it is, that decision that was made wasn't the right one. They were aggressive mistakes, but they were out-of-control base running decisions. I don't like to give away outs."

Orioles manager Dave Trembley said that he told hitting coach Terry Crowley before the inning that he thought the team would score five runs in the seventh.

"If there are any Little Leaguers watching, turn the TV off," Brenly instructed viewers.

It might be the best of both worlds. The wins and losses officially go on Orlando Gomez's record, despite the fact that the Delmarva Shorebirds skipper has spent the last week in Puerto Rico tending to family matters, while Ryan Minor gets his first taste of managing.

Question: What's the best concert you've ever been to? 

Matt Wieters: Hootie and the Blowfish

"It inspires me a lot," Shorebirds second baseman L.J. Hoes said. "It inspires me just to keep working hard, that the O's are looking at our minor league farm system, so the hard work pays off."

Orioles catcher Chad Moeller has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk, where he is expected to report Friday.

Moeller was designated for assignment last Friday when the Orioles added top prospect Matt Wieters to the roster.

Moeller, 34, hit .200 with one home run and two RBIs in 15 games with the Orioles. He has played parts of 10 seasons with seven major league clubs. Moeller signed a minor league deal with the Orioles in December and made the team out of spring training.
