The Orioles and Maryland Stadium Authority (MSA) today announced that after a multi-year effort of research and enhancements, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has awarded Oriole Park at Camden Yards with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification for an existing building. Oriole Park joins AT&T Park in San Francisco, Calif., Marlins Park in Miami, Fla., and Target Field in Minneapolis, Minn., as LEED Gold certified ballparks in Major League...
BOSTON - The Orioles are preparing to make another adjustment to their roster in Detroit, where they begin a three-game series Tuesday night.
Unable to play today due to rain, the Orioles announced that they optioned right-hander David Hess to Triple-A Norfolk one day after recalling him. No word on the corresponding move.
Hess arrived in Boston yesterday while the Orioles optioned Donnie Hart to Norfolk. Hart wasn't going to be available for a few days after pitching in back-to-back games and...
It was great to be at the Nationals Park on Jackie Robinson Day. Even if the crowd was sparse in the cool, wet weather, it was heartwarming to see all of the players wearing No. 42 in honor of the man who broke baseball's color barrier.
Reflecting on the legacy of Robinson and those who followed him, it's appropriate to look back at the Washington's history of civil rights and baseball as examples of how far sport and society have come, and to see how far we still have to go.
Washington was...
There's been lots of chatter in the last few days and weeks about the status of Orioles manager Buck Showalter. As everyone knows, Showalter is in the final year of his contract. He, executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette and a number of prominent players are all facing a walk year. But the Las Vegas sportsbook Bovada last week released its latest odds on the first major league manager to be fired, and Showalter topped the list at 3/2. He's leaped ahead of the likes of...
NEW YORK - It is the middle of April and the two-time defending N.L. East champion Washington Nationals find themselves six games behind the first place New York Mets.
There are 146 regular season games remaining. The Nats have yet to play a regular season game with Daniel Murphy in the lineup. Adam Eaton has been sidelined with a bone bruise on his left ankle. Anthony Rendon has missed the last two games after fouling a ball off his left big toe.

Davey Martinez won't look at the standings, certainly not in April. He doesn't believe it does him or his players any good to pay attention right now to the records of other teams in relation to their own record.
Which is all well and good except for one teensy little fact: The Nationals head to New York tonight for the opener of a three-game series trailing the Mets in the National League East division by six games.
Good luck ignoring the standings now, right?
"We've got to play...
BOSTON - With no morning game at Fenway Park due to a forecast that didn't provide a window to play, the Orioles are able to make adjustments to their rotation for the Tigers series that begins Tuesday night.
Andrew Cashner is pushed back to the opener at Comerica Park, followed by Kevin Gausman on Wednesday night and most likely Alex Cobb on Thursday afternoon.
The Orioles will withhold making a decision on the finale until Cobb's workday. Meanwhile, the Orioles appear to be skipping Chris...
During an 8-2 start, the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds pitching staff has been outstanding. Especially Delmarva's six-man rotation, which has seen its starters allow two earned runs or less nine time in 10 games.
The Shorebirds have seven pitchers on starters' schedules in a six-man rotation. Right-hander Michael Baumann started opening day and was followed by Cameron Bishop, Matthias Dietz, Brenan Hanifee, Zac Lowther and 2017 top draft pick DL Hall. Gray Fenter pitches in relief after...
There were outs inexplicably made on the bases. There were home runs being served up despite pitchers being in advantageous counts. There were countless opportunities for long, sustained rallies, the kind of opportunities made possible when you draw 10 walks to the opposition's one on the afternoon.
Consider all the reasons the Nationals should have won today's game against the Rockies, not the least of which was the desperation they exhibited today trying to salvage a four-game series split...
