Music and Orioles baseball go together, from the pregame rendition of the national anthem to crowd-pumping between-innings tunes to "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" during the seventh-inning stretch at Camden Yards. And who doesn't like to hear "Orioles Magic" as a celebratory nod when the Orioles win at home?
Furthering the special connection between music and the national pastime, the Orioles will host the third annual Nashville's Music Row Comes to the Ballpark - a one-of-a-kind,...
The Orioles will host the third annual "Nashville's Music Row Comes to the Ballpark" - a one-of-a-kind, all-access event taking charitable donors behind the scenes of the sports and music worlds to enjoy an exclusive concert event with Orioles players and Nashville songwriters and artists.
The four-day weekend of charitable activity begins on March 1 with a cocktail reception at the team training facility at 6:30 p.m. ET, followed immediately by an intimate concert event on the field, as...
SARASOTA, Fla. - Eddie Gamboa has a better grip on his pitching future.
Gamboa has conceded after much prodding from the Orioles that he needs to go exclusively with his knuckleball. No more mixing it in 50 percent of the time. No more fastball first and then the secondary stuff.
If Gamboa is going to get back to the majors after appearing in seven games with the Rays in 2016, his only exposure to the highest level, he's going to do it strictly as a knuckleball pitcher.
"Absolutely, yeah,"...
The Nationals have won the National League East two seasons in a row and are favored to win their third straight division title in 2018.
MLB Network analyst Dan O'Dowd, a former major league general manager with the Rockies, feels very good about the Nationals' chances, as long as Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg can survive the rigors of a long season and are close to 100 percent healthy come Oct. 1.
"I believe this is their season. I believe they are going to get over the hump this...
SARASOTA, Fla. - Andrew Susac has a plan. And a color scheme.
Susac feels right as home with the Orioles, who acquired him on Feb. 2 to compete for a job as backup catcher. It isn't strictly his welcoming teammates or a hankering for grouper. Orange and black work for him.
"I think it's awesome," he said. "It seems like I can't get out of an orange and black jersey. Ever since Little League. I played for the Orioles in Little League. Funny story. From there to Oregon State and then the...
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - As anticipated, yesterday was a light day at The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches. Well, aside from the media horde that descended upon the other side of the complex, where the defending World Series champion Astros officially reported for work.
On the Nationals side, pitchers and catchers wandered through the clubhouse, training areas and weight rooms. Some went out to the back fields to play catch. Nothing organized, just the mundane stuff pitchers do every day to keep...
SARASOTA, Fla. - Rule 5 pick José Mesa will be used as a starter in camp instead of working out of the bullpen. The Orioles added him to the mix earlier today, with the right-hander joining Dylan Bundy, Kevin Gausman, Mike Wright, Gabriel Ynoa, Miguel Castro, Hunter Harvey and Rule 5 pick Nestor Cortes Jr.
Mesa, son of the former Orioles pitcher of the same name, has made nine starts among his 78 minor league appearances in the Yankees system. He's gone 12-4 with a 2.86 ERA and 1.15 WHIP...
In December, we began a new series in this space. We are introducing you to some Orioles scouts before the new season begins. Some fans may not even know their names. Hopefully, after reading this and upcoming posts, you'll know a lot more than that. So on we go ...
When the Orioles ended a 14-year run of losing seasons and returned to the playoffs in 2012, it was huge for the organization. So many players, manager Buck Showalter and his coaches, scouts and front office members helped the team...
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Adam Eaton arrived in Florida, family in tow, on Jan. 19. There weren't many others around The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches at that ridiculously early date. But when you've spent nine months rehabbing from a torn ACL and the entire winter cooped up inside your snowed-in Michigan home, there's no reporting date that's too early.
"I needed the warm weather," Eaton said, referring not only to his own physical needs, but the needs of his soon-to-be 2-year-old son...
SARASOTA, Fla. - With 35 pitchers in camp, the Orioles offered a heavy dose of bullpen sessions this afternoon on the first day of workouts.
The group consisted of Dylan Bundy, Jayson Aquino, Jhan Mariñez, Donnie Hart, Richard Bleier, Miguel Castro, Nestor Cortes Jr., Jeff Ferrell, Stefan Crichton, Jimmy Yacabonis, Eddie Gamboa, Jason Gurka, Hunter Harvey, Joely RodrÃguez, David Hess and Pedro Araujo.
Michael Kelly stepped on the mound but didn't stay long.
Manager Buck Showalter joked...
