Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "Washington's Farewell"

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "Washington's Farewell"
We are back with the third season of Hitting the Books. I say "we" because without the help of Olivia Witherite producing and Pete Kerzel editing, Hitting the Books would not happen. And none of our work would matter if you, the reader/viewers weren't there. So thanks to all and I hope this year's books spark an interest to read on. The selections are mine, sometimes suggested by others, but I do the reading and writing. Again this year we will have guests to discuss their favorite books....
    

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Murphy has career night in rout of Cardinals

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Murphy has career night in rout of Cardinals
Daniel Murphy, runner-up for the 2016 National League MVP, silenced critics early in the 2017 campaign when he hit safely in the first 10 games of the season with a .444/.457/.711 slash line. At the time, his 10 games were tied for the longest streak in the majors in 2017 and it was the longest such streak to start a season in his career. We turn to Bob Carpenter (@scorebook_bob) to give you a recap of one of Murphy's best games during his outstanding start to the season, the Nationals' April...

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Zimmerman has huge day in rout of Marlins
If you needed something to distract you from this week's bone-chilling weather and Redskins news, we've got you, fam - Nationals pitchers and catchers reporting is just a baker's dozen days away! After you look up flights to West Palm Beach, read up on one of the many curly W's from MASN play-by-play announcer Bob Carpenter's 2017 scorebook: 10 for Gio and the Nats! Monster game for Zim with 2 HRs and 5 RBIs. RBI #906 is franchise record.Nats 10 Marlins 1 August 9...

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Trumbo gives O's 5-4 win over Beltway rivals
Just 19 days until Orioles pitchers and catchers report, folks! Until then, sit back with your second (or third) cup of coffee this morning and join us for a few more "Orioles Classics" moments to get you through the rest of the offseason. After Nationals ace Max Scherzer struck out 11 O's over eight innings on May 9, it looked as though a loss was imminent when the Birds were trailing 4-2. But they were able to pull even in the ninth inning with singles from Adam Jones and Manny Machado, an...

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Beckham quickly impresses in first week with Orioles
Tim Beckham became a welcome addition to the Orioles lineup when he joined the team at the 2017 trade deadline and immediately impressed fans in his first week with the club. He started things off with a 12-game hitting streak from Aug. 1-12, which led to him earning his first American League Player of the Week honor (for July 31-Aug. 6). Beckham became the third player since 1954 to have a hitting streak of at least 12 games to begin their O's career. In those first 12 games with Baltimore,...

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: O's turn two triple plays in one season

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: O's turn two triple plays in one season
The 2017 season was the year of the triple play for Baltimore. One of the rarest feats in baseball, the Orioles accomplished it twice in two different ballparks almost three months apart. The first was on May 2 at Fenway Park and was a bit unconventional. A popup from Jackie Bradley Jr. failed to meet J.J. Hardy's glove, but he quickly tossed the ball over to Jonathan Schoop, who tagged Mitch Moreland before touching second to force Dustin Pedroia out, then fired it over to Chris Davis to get...

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Players Weekend gets O's fired up in 16-3 win over Red Sox
Happy New Year, everyone! As we inch closer and closer to Spring Training and the 2018 season we'll continue to take at more memorable throwback moments from last year to get you through the next few weeks. One of the best parts of the 2017 season was MLB's new player-focused initiative, Players Weekend. With customized alternate jerseys, nicknames and commemorative patches, players got the chance to show us all a different, more personal side of themselves that they don't normally get to...

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Nats sweep Giants behind Scherzer's complete game
It's the most wonderful time of year. Out-of-office emails are set up, presents are piling up and end of the year "best of" lists are (hopefully) keeping you entertained. In case you've missed it, MASN Nationals broadcaster Bob Carpenter has been sharing some of his favorite scorekeeping moments from the season on his Twitter (@scorebook_bob). We've decided to take some inspiration from him for this week's #TBT post: Max goes the distance on 100 pitches w/11Ks, Zim hits #15 & drives...
    

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Adam Jones records career hit No. 1,500

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Adam Jones records career hit No. 1,500
The 2017 season was full of record-breaking games for Orioles outfielder Adam Jones. One of his first celebratory moments came on April 24, when he recorded his 1,500th career hit with a fifth-inning single against the Rays' Chris Archer. Always humble, Jones didn't realize he reached a milestone until after the game: His day wasn't over yet. In the seventh inning, Jones' 1,501st hit was a two-run homer that gave the O's the lead in a 6-3 win. Jones ended the season with 1,650 career...
    

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Rendon has record-breaking day in Nats' slugfest over Mets

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Rendon has record-breaking day in Nats' slugfest over Mets
On a gorgeous Sunday afternoon in our nation's capital, the Nationals put on a hitting clinic against the Mets pitching staff that ended in a 23-5 victory, making up for dropping the first two games of the series. What fans will remember most is the All-Star performance by third baseman Anthony Rendon. Rendon came out of an early season slump when he went 6-for-6 (including two singles and a double), blasted three homers and collected a career-high 10 RBIs (his previous career high was four...

Although the season is over, that doesn't necessarily mean players are done for the year. Earlier this afternoon, Trey Mancini, Mike Wright and Tim Beckham joined MASN broadcaster Jim Hunter and former Orioles Al Bumbry, Larry Bigbie and Scott McGregor at the annual Orioles REACH Holiday Party at the Dave & Busters at Arundel Mills Mall. Players went head-to-head with 80 third- through fifth-graders from John Ruhrah Elementary/Middle School, one of Baltimore's largest English as a Second...
