"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Machado's second walk-off of homestand gives O's win over A's
Our first Throwback Thursday moment of this offseason came all they way back on Nov. 2, when we highlighted Manny Machado's three-homer night capped off by a walk-off grand slam against the Angels. Well, for this weeks' #TBT moment, we're going back to the end of that very same homestand. After Machado opened the six-game stand at Camden Yards with the walk-off slam, he closed it with another walk-off home run against the Athletics. After having lost three of their previous four games,...

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Mancini makes game-saving leaping catch

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Mancini makes game-saving leaping catch
We had a great time at Orioles FanFest this past weekend! Thank you to all the fans who stopped by for their free Social Snapshots or just to say "Hey" to our team, and congrats to all of you who left with great prizes. Of course, some of the highlights of the day were the Orioles players and MASN talent stopping by to take Social Snapshots with you fans. And what a way to kick off the day by having outfielder Trey Mancini as our first visitor. Mancini was not just a highlight at FanFest, but...

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Trumbo gives O's 5-4 win over Beltway rivals

"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...

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Jackson helps Nats salvage nightcap of doubleheader

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Jackson helps Nats salvage nightcap of doubleheader
The major league hot stove has been ice cold so far this offseason. There are still plenty of big-name free agents available on the board with spring training less than three weeks away. Although the Nationals never figured to play a huge role in the free agent market this offseason, they have made a couple of re-signings to at least make this winter not completely uneventful. They re-signed Brandon Kintzler to a one-year deal to keep the Law Firm bullpen intact. Matt Adams was signed to a...

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Gonzalez shuts down Brew Crew at home

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Gonzalez shuts down Brew Crew at home
What more can be said about the season Gio Gonzalez had in 2017? The Nationals left-hander posted one of the best seasons of his career and one of the most consistent in all of baseball last year. He finished the year 15-9 with a 2.96 ERA (the second-best of his career) and continued to prove his durability by amassing 201 innings in 32 starts. The thing about Gonzalez last year is that while he was not as flashy as Max Scherzer or Stephen Strasburg, he got the job done on a nightly basis....

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Beckham quickly impresses in first week with Orioles

"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...

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Harper and Trout put on a show in L.A.

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Harper and Trout put on a show in L.A.
As we continue our Throwback Thursday posts, we'll defer to Bob Carpenter and his handy-dandy scorebook for this week's memorable moment from last season. We rarely get to see two of the best players in baseball go head to head, with Bryce Harper playing in the National League East and Mike Trout in the American League West. But the stars aligned - so to speak - in 2017 as the former MVPs met in, where else, the City of Angels for a two-game set. And, boy, did they put on a show from the...

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 these groups is the Battle of the Beltways.

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Trey Mancini gifts O's comeback win

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Trey Mancini gifts O's comeback win
Trey Mancini was the gift that kept on giving this past season for the Orioles. Coming into spring training with questions of whether he was ready, where he would play and if he could make the big league club, Mancini broke camp with the Orioles and produced one of the best rookie seasons in franchise history. In 147 games, he slashed .293/.338/.488 with 24 home runs and 78 RBIs, finishing third in American League Rookie of the Year voting, behind the Yankees' Aaron Judge and the Red Sox's...

"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...

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Harper ties career high in Nats' 14-6 rout of Cardinals

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Harper ties career high in Nats' 14-6 rout of Cardinals
April 10 wasn't exactly the prettiest night of baseball in D.C., but the Nationals overcame a flurry of ugly errors and missed opportunities with a seven-run eighth inning to win 14-6 against the Cardinals. The offense delivered, and to no surprise, Bryce Harper was one of the heroes at the plate. Harper had himself a night, as he reached base in all six of his plate appearances, finishing the night 4-for-4 (all singles) with two walks and three RBIs. His four hits tied a career high and it...
