BOWIE – The last two full minor league seasons have ended with the Double-A Bowie Baysox playing for a league championship. The Baysox came up short both times, but they went 76-64 in 2019 and 73-47 last year, with a fast start and sizzling finish, to wrap up a postseason berth. Results like that and the highly ranked players that helped produce al

There were moments during tonight’s season opener in which the optimistic among the crowd of 35,052 at Nationals Park could squint and see the potential. Keibert Ruiz shined at the plate and behind the plate. Alcides Escobar made a fantastic play in the field to prevent a run from scoring. Patrick Corbin looked quite good, at least for 3 2/3 inning

SARASOTA, Fla. - Opening day finally has arrived for the Orioles. They made it through the lockout, a camp cut short and yesterday's workout at Tropicana Field. The 28-man roster is set. A lineup is going to be posted later this morning, with first pitch at 3:10 p.m. before a sellout crowd. The Orioles will load up their lineup with right-handed hi

As their teammates prepare to take over the first base line at Nationals Park and be introduced before the opening night crowd, the six players who are opening the season on the injured list find themselves in Florida, left to prepare for their eventual 2022 debuts from afar. Stephen Strasburg, Will Harris, Ehire Adrianza, Joe Ross, Carter Kieboom

And away we go ... The weather outside may be frightful, but the vibe inside Nationals Park tonight should be delightful, because there’s going to be a ballgame. Hopefully on-time at 7:05 p.m. The forecast looks promising, at least from the standpoint of the rain ending. It’s still going to be cold and possibly windy, so if you’re coming to the bal

It’s finally here: Today is opening day! You can’t help but be excited for the start of a new season (especially after a 99-day lockout). Opening day is just a special day on the calendar, no matter a team’s expectations. The Nationals have a new organizational direction this season after last summer’s sell-off at the trade deadline. But players, c

SARASOTA, Fla. - The Orioles didn’t make any changes to their 28-man roster as the noon deadline passed to submit them. No late waiver claims or trades, at least so far. The roster remains at the same 14 pitchers and 14 position players for Friday’s opener against the Rays at Tropicana Field. Here it is again: Pitchers (14) Keegan Akin Bryan Baker

Well, here we are. It’s opening day. Er, make that opening night after the Nationals pushed back first pitch against the Mets from 4:05 p.m. to 7:05 p.m. in hopes that all the rain will clear out before the team takes the field for the first time. This promises to be a season unlike any we’ve experienced around here in a long time. For the first ti

SARASOTA, Fla. - Wise men say that only fools rush in, you should always expect the unexpected in spring training, don’t fall in love with a dreamer or exhibition numbers, and don’t underwrite an injury. Also, beware of ballpark fish. The Orioles’ 2022 camp gave us a lot to digest in a short period of time. Some storylines stretched until the end.
