BALTIMORE – For the first time since 2018, the Nationals have won the Battle of the Beltways. Now they have a chance to sweep their first series at Camden Yards since that same 2018 season if they can pull off another victory in this afternoon’s finale. The Nats finally scored early and often against an opposing starter Saturday, knocking Kyle Gibs

The clubhouse was quiet and sparsely populated yesterday, which didn’t hint at a managerial change by the Orioles or other dramatic move. Most of the players were on the field, and confirmation came later with media access delayed by the firings of Brandon Hyde and major league field coordinator Tim Cossins and a meeting led by executive vice presi

BALTIMORE – Rarely have the Nationals had the opportunity to beat a team when it’s down. And given his close friendship with now former Orioles manager Brandon Hyde, Davey Martinez probably took little pleasure in rubbing salt in Baltimore’s wounds this afternoon. But there was a game to play regardless, and the Nats made the most of the opportunit

Tony Mansolino carried his own lineup card to home plate this afternoon, decked out in orange from chest to ankles. His first game as a major league manager, and the Orioles put him in an alternate uniform from the early ‘70s. Brightly lit on a dark day after Brandon Hyde’s dismissal. The alternative for Mansolino would have been to stay in his rol

BALTIMORE – Davey Martinez has no shortage of close contacts in baseball, having played with, coached with and ultimately managed with countless figures over the last four decades. Brandon Hyde, though, is high on Martinez’s list of close friends in the game, the two having worked together on the Cubs’ coaching staff for three seasons before eventu

BALTIMORE – Friday night’s series opener here at Camden Yards was one of the strangest games you’ll ever see. And it appears the Nationals’ 4-3 victory came at a very high cost for the Orioles, who just a few minutes ago announced they’ve fired manager Brandon Hyde. Maybe that move was inevitable at some point, given the team’s disappointment to da

The Baltimore Orioles today announced that Manager BRANDON HYDE has been relieved of his duties. “As the head of baseball operations, the poor start to our season is ultimately my responsibility,” said Orioles Executive Vice President and General Manager MIKE ELIAS. “Part of that responsibility is pursuing difficult changes in order to set a differ

The slow and disappointing start to the Orioles’ 2025 season has cost manager Brandon Hyde his job. The Orioles fired Hyde this morning, the news coming after they lost last night for the 17th time in 23 games. Major league field coordinator and catching instructor Tim Cossins, who worked out of the bullpen, also was relieved of his duties. Third b

Brandon Hyde walked into the auxiliary clubhouse again yesterday, also known as “the interview room,” where a table, chair and microphone are set up for him and the media waits for his arrival. Injury updates are a popular topic on this club, and the first questions focused on Tyler O’Neill’s removal from the lineup due to a sore left shoulder, Hes

BALTIMORE – A ballgame that had already defied conventional wisdom in countless ways for eight innings of course came down to a most unconventional conclusion in the ninth. On a night in which MacKenzie Gore was simultaneously hittable and unhittable, on a night in which neither team could score many runs despite one team more than tripling the oth
