Orioles thoughts and observations on Jones getting out of his slump, Rickard's key at bat and Brad Brach

Anyone who has watched the Orioles this season has seen how much Adam Jones has struggled at the plate, but manager Buck Showalter also sees how hard Jones has worked to get himself out of his season-long slump.

“The bus leaves [after the game was postponed] and [bench coach] John Russell and I were here and you hear this thump down in the cage,” Showalter said. “Adam’s here last night after everybody left. He wants to be as good as he’s capable of. And that’s a feel-good. He’s got a great way about him, not taking himself too seriously.
