There are moments that in an instant seem to encapsulate the Orioles’ 2025 season. You just have to look for them. They really aren’t hard to find. The latest example came tonight when they stranded three runners in the first inning and immediately fell behind, a nasty predicament for a team that was 4-19 when the opponent scored first and too ofte

BALTIMORE – Luis García Jr. is back on the Nationals’ active roster, but not back in the lineup quite yet. García was activated off the paternity list this afternoon, having spent the last three days away for the birth of his first child. Under the circumstances – and with left-hander Cade Povich starting for the Orioles – Davey Martinez wanted to

Tyler O’Neill was a lineup scratch again today. Recovered from the inflammation in his neck, O’Neill was sent to the bench for the series opener against the Nationals due to left shoulder discomfort. Ryan O’Hearn is replacing O’Neill in right field and batting fifth against Nationals left-hander MacKenzie Gore. Manager Brandon Hyde said O’Neill not

BALTIMORE – Hello from Camden Yards, where a couple of teams desperate to start winning more face off this weekend. The Nationals have lost eight of nine, falling to nine games under .500 in the process. The Orioles have lost nine of 11, falling to 12 games under .500 in the process. Something’s got to give. You already know this by now, but the Na

If the Orioles are going to make a run and escape last place in the division, this would be an ideal time to start. They’re 12 games below .500 for the first time since the conclusion of the 2021 season and 9 ½ out of first place. The Nationals, in town for a weekend series, are 18-27 and in fourth place in the National League East after losing eig

So how about those minor leagues, eh?  Without much going the O’s way up in the big leagues, let’s take some time to highlight some prospects who are thriving down on the farm.  Braxton Bragg How about starting with a pitcher that isn’t even currently ranked in MLB Pipeline’s 30 best Orioles prospects? Bragg has been utterly dominant in 2025, split

ATLANTA – The Nationals bullpen has been the most inconsistent and disappointing group to start the season. Entering yesterday’s finale against the Braves, Nats relievers owned the second-worst ERA in the majors. The group is still trying to mesh together. A few relievers have landed on the injured list and two that started the season on the roster

Ryan Mountcastle slowed for an instant yesterday as he prepared to pull into second base with a double, saw that Twins right fielder Kody Clemens bobbled the ball, and sped up to try for the triple. Clemens, playing his third position in four innings, fired to third baseman Royce Lewis for the out. Mountcastle rose from the dirt, his uniform covere

Cedric Mullins got the right break on the ball, with the proper angle and exceptional footspeed. He laid out for it, made the diving catch and held on through the crash landing. Tomoyuki Sugano waited for Mullins after the top of the second inning to give him a congratulatory pat, to thank him for the assist. It was the last moment today that the O

ATLANTA – After rallying to win last night, the Nationals were in position this afternoon to split this four-game series with the Braves. And given how the frustration mounted over the recent seven-game losing streak, that would have been considered a win in this first leg of a seven-game road trip. The Nats were able to overcome some early mistake
