Ryan Sullivan: Thinking about some under-the-radar Nats prospects

Ryan Sullivan: Thinking about some under-the-radar Nats prospects
Earlier this week, I was driving by a Bob Evans restaurant and noticed in the window a large sticker with the words "Down on the Farm." Not only did this display get me hungry and wishing I was wearing my fat pants, it got me thinking about the Nationals farm system and some under-the-radar prospects in the organization. In this space, I have discussed young players like Juan Soto, Carter Kieboom and Luis Garcia this season, among others. But in the spirit of looking ahead toward next year,...

Zach Wilt: What Adam Jones has meant to the Orioles

Zach Wilt: What Adam Jones has meant to the Orioles
Every season in Birdland concludes with Fan Appreciation Weekend. The Orioles organization thanks the fans for their support with video tributes, experiences and giveaways. This season is no different. From Sept. 27-30, the O's host the defending World Series champion Astros for a four-game series that includes an alumni autograph series, as well as giveaways for a coaster set, puffy vest and duffle bag. While I am sure people will be lined up along the gates at Eutaw Street for their duffle...

Liz Barr: Strong defense has been consistent for Nationals

Liz Barr: Strong defense has been consistent for Nationals
To say that this season has been a roller coaster for the Nationals would be an understatement. They've struggled to find consistency. Sometimes they score double-digit runs and sometimes they get shut out multiple games in a row. Finding rhythm has been difficult. The pitching has been up and down, the offense has been up and down. But there's one thing the Nationals have been very consistent at all year, something they've done very well all year long: defense. Sure, they're going to have...

Josh Michael: Checking in on the Gulf Coast League Orioles
There may be a little over a month left in the 2018 season for the big leaguers, but minor league affiliates are nearing the end of the campaign, and for some, the season has already concluded. The Orioles' Rookie-level affiliate, the Gulf Coast League Orioles, wrapped up their season Saturday and despite their record, there were some standouts worth mentioning. The GCL Orioles did not do so well this season record-wise, as they finished the year 13-42, the worst record in the GCL. They...

Marty Niland: Nationals end streak of futility before hitting record books

Marty Niland: Nationals end streak of futility before hitting record books
The only thing consistent about the 2018 Nationals has been their inconsistency. It was on full display in last weekend's series against the Mets, which saw them end a 32-inning scoreless skid in Sunday's 15-0 rout. The scoring drought was miserable, but it could have been worse. Juan Soto's sixth-inning grounder to score Trea Turner stemmed the streak before it could grow long enough for the record books or the longest runs of futility by Washington teams. The major league record for...

Andrew Stetka: More O's youth could be on display in September
Later this week, baseball's rules will change as the season draws to a close. With a month to go before the playoffs, Major League Baseball will allow teams to expand their rosters from 25 players to 40 players. Is there another sport where the rules are not only different depending on which league you play in, but also where they change the rules with a month left in the season? It will completely alter the dynamics of postseason races, as it does every season. For the Orioles, it could...

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "The Sun Does Shine"

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "The Sun Does Shine"
For 30 years, Anthony Ray Hinton, author of "The Sun Does Shine," served in solitary confinement in Alabama jails, convicted of murders he did not commit. He was 29 when he went to prison and was not released until 2015. We know there are wrongful convictions that lead to death row and executions. When spoken of in the abstract, we seem to take such horrors as conditions of life. When face to face with a man who lives the horrors, as happens in this read, one realizes these unjustified deaths...

Ryan Sullivan: What will Nationals lineup look like in 2019?

Ryan Sullivan: What will Nationals lineup look like in 2019?
Earlier this week, the Nationals traded Matt Adams to the Cardinals and Daniel Murphy to the Cubs, the first legitimate signs Washington had essentially conceded its playoff chances this season. These two deals netted an intriguing prospect in Andruw Monasterio, while hopefully trimming payroll below the luxury tax figure, both positives for the future. Also, it will give players like Wilmer Difo significant playing time in September to earn spots for next season. But this left me speculating...

Zach Wilt: Sample size is small, but Cedric Mullins has impressed so far
The 2018 campaign is a lost season for the Orioles that resulted in the front office disassembling the team at the trade deadline and planning for their long-term future. Fan favorites like Manny Machado, Jonathan Schoop and Zach Britton were shipped off the Dodgers, Brewers and Yankees for prospects. Left in Baltimore was the team's leader and current longest-tenured Oriole, Adam Jones, who is in the final year of his contract. The veteran center fielder watched as his team was stripped for...

Liz Barr: Can Juan Soto win NL Rookie of the Year?
Let's think about awards, shall we? Individual awards are the main things going for Nationals for the rest of the season, and individual accomplishment cannot be overlooked, no matter what the team is doing. Now the question that's been on everyone's mind for the past few months: Can Juan Soto win National League Rookie of the Year? The automatic thought is yes, he can. For the longest time, Soto appeared to be a shoe-in for Rookie of the Year. He was tearing up the league like no one else,...

Marty Niland: Ramos deserves a hearty "horns up" from Nats fans this week
When Nationals Park is filled with hometown fans, there's no love lost crowd for opposing players, especially on a division rival like Philadelphia. However, when the Phillies play in Washington this week, even the most diehard Nationals partisans should give a hearty cheer and a "horns up" for the newest Phillie, catcher Wilson Ramos. Nats fans remember watching Ramos mature from a promising rookie into the game's top-hitting catcher from 2011-2016 as he helped the team blossom from an...

Andrew Stetka: Rebuilding Orioles need to overhaul offensive identity

Andrew Stetka: Rebuilding Orioles need to overhaul offensive identity
The Orioles have an offensive identity that they've worn like a heavy backpack for a few years now. Because it's a heavy one, it slows them down. It makes them less versatile and only allows them to do so much. They've been an offense that relied on free swingers and the three-run homer, or the "Earl Weaver special," if you will. In recent memory, it has served them fairly well. From 2012-2017, the Orioles ranked second, first, first, third, first and fifth in home runs in the major...
