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...

Throughout this past season, the Orioles celebrated the 25th anniversary of Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The team wore throwback uniforms, honored Orioles legends and highlighted some of the greatest games played at The Ballpark That Forever Changed Baseball. During last offseason leading up to opening day 2017, MASN aired a countdown of the 10 greatest games played at OPACY. And we're bringing you some of those "Oriole Park Classics Games" throughout this offseason to relive! We'll start...

Over the past few months, I've come up with eight questions confronting the Orioles in no particular order of importance. They existed as the club trudged through the offseason. One decision has been made with catcher Austin Wynns added to the 40-man roster to protect him in the Rule 5 draft. They like his defense and think he could be a major league backup in 2018. And he became more valuable to them after Welington Castillo declined his $7 million option and signed a two-year deal with the...

The next hurler on the list of top 10 Nationals prospects from Baseball America got a chance to pitch in the big leagues last season, and although it probably didn't go as well as he had hoped, the experience will be invaluable for him down the road. No. 3 RHP Erick Fedde "I think that's a great point," said Baseball America national writer Carlos Collazo. "I also think you can look at this season as one for Erick Fedde where you don't need to look too much into the numbers. They put him...

While fans and reporters debate what the Orioles need to do to improve for the 2018 season, the debate often seems to turn to the future for Manny Machado and Zach Britton. Will the team be able to sign either player beyond 2018, when they can become free agents? Will the team consider trading either player before they can hit the open market? But there is another key Oriole whose contract is up after the 2018 season, and he is seldom discussed in this conversation: center fielder Adam...

One week from now, we'll be neck-deep in the Winter Meetings, with (hopefully) plenty of newsy developments to discuss. For now, though, it's been a really quiet offseason for the Nationals, the notable exception being that minor change to the manager's office and coaching staff, of course. But there's plenty on the Nats' table as they prepare to head down to Walt Disney World for four days of wheeling and dealing, so let's try to anticipate some of what might happen while there. As...

The Orioles may not be able to resist making a selection or two in next week's Rule 5 draft. The temptation can be overwhelming. Beads of sweat form on the forehead as the pulse quickens. You can vow to lose weight, but another Baskin Robbins opens down the street, and there's 31 flavors and sprinkles and waffle cones and ... Diet starts next year. Having outfielder Anthony Santander on the 25-man roster for the first 44 days of the season, as required under Major League Baseball rules,...

If a picture's worth a thousand words, how many words would it take to quantify Orioles history, from the time the team landed in Baltimore from St. Louis in 1954 to the Trey Mancini strikeout that ended the Birds' 2017 campaign at Tropicana Field on Oct. 1? For Philadelphia artist Daniel Duffy, the answer is simple: 1,046, the number of players that have donned Orioles orange and black in the team's history. Duffy, 37, has created one of this year's hottest O's-themed holidays gifts: a...
