Some Orioles opening day notes and quotes
Some Orioles opening day notes and quotes

Well, we know one Orioles opening day streak will end today. They have won the last three opening days in walk-off fashion, the last two in extra innings. Adam Jones' leadoff homer in the 11th last year at Camden Yards provided a 3-2 win over Minnesota. But as the visitors, the Orioles cannot get a walk-off today in the Bronx. The Orioles, who went 47-115 last year, open their 66th season this afternoon in New York versus the Yankees, who went 100-62 in 2018. The Orioles have won on opening...

The wait is over. And for the first time in a long time, we aren't talking about the wait for Bryce Harper to sign with somebody. No, we're talking about the Nationals' long, six-month wait to get back on the field after a disappointing 2018 season. It finally happens today in the opener of what might just be the most compelling division race we've ever seen around here. And it starts right off with a showdown between two of the four teams that come into opening day believing they can win...

Hey, do you know what today is? Yes, of course you do. And because you know it's opening day, you also know it's media prediction day! Ah yes, media prediction day, when my colleagues and I make complete fools of ourselves (some more than others) in trying to guess how the Nationals' season is going to play out. This is now the 10th consecutive year we've done this, via three different media outlets. And our pool of participants has both grown and changed dramatically in that time. We've...

NEW YORK - A rotation that already is going to be slower to evolve than the standard models became more unpredictable with Alex Cobb's groin injury and subsequent trip to the 10-day injured list. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde has given Andrew Cashner the opening day assignment this afternoon at Yankee Stadium. Cashner and Dylan Bundy were supposed to vie for Saturday's start, but it goes to Nate Karns as the season's first "opener." Bundy takes the mound for Sunday's series finale and...

The Nationals reported for spring training last month with a pretty good idea already who would fill out their 25-man roster. There were only a handful of jobs up for grabs, and even those seemed fairly set in stone, barring something unexpected developing over the course of six weeks in Florida. Well, something unexpected did happen. His name is Jake Noll, and thanks to one of the most unexpected spring training performances in recent club history the 25-year-old infielder is about to make his...

In another interview with Baltimore reporters yesterday, Orioles executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias spoke again about the long-range outlook he has to build up the talent level organization-wide. When asked about a message to fans that are on the fence about attending games in 2019, Elias spoke about trying to put together a "perennial contending organization." He said he didn't want a one-year wonder and then have the Orioles later have to dig out of another hole. "We...
