When they play the All-Star game next Tuesday night in Arlington, Texas, the O’s participants will have a homegrown flavor. Three of the four players repping the Orioles were drafted and developed by the Orioles in Adley Rutschman, Gunnar Henderson and Jordan Westburg. The fourth player going, pitcher Corbin Burnes, was acquired in a trade of O’s p

The latest heat advisory mentions how mailbags could go up in flames and to keep them indoors. I’m not taking any chances. It’s my responsibility to empty mine and save the neighborhood from total destruction. You ask, I answer, and yada, yada, yada. If you ever catch me editing for clarity, length or style, drag me in an alley and have me beaten.

After scoring 14 runs in the last two games of the series at Oakland over the weekend, it looked like the Orioles offense was starting to roll again. But tonight, early on, it didn’t look that way as they faced Chicago Cubs lefty Shota Imanaga in the second game of the series.  Coming into this game the O’s had scored three runs or fewer five times

NEW YORK – Davey Martinez needed to shake up his lineup. For the most part, it hasn’t been getting the job done as is over the past couple of weeks. Sure there were a few offensive outbursts here and there, but it definitely needed a kickstart to be more consistent. So what did the Nationals manager do against Mets right-hander Luis Severino? He st

NEW YORK – James Wood’s movement up the Nationals lineup continues today as he gets bumped up to the No. 2 spot against Mets right-handed starter Luis Severino. In fact, all of the Nats’ left-handed hitters moved up the order for tonight’s second game of this three-game set in Queens. To face Severino, who held the Nats to one run on seven hits, no

With a team ERA of 5.78 the last 17 games, and having allowed 19 runs Saturday and nine last night, the Orioles could use a well pitched game tonight in the second of their series with the Chicago Cubs. Enter right-hander Corbin Burnes (9-3, 2.32 ERA), who is looking to become a 10-game winner in his 19th start of 2024. Burnes was selected to pitch

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde gave some props to the fans today. The Orioles-Cubs game last night, the series opener that Chicago won 9-2, saw an attendance of 30,373. According to the Baltimore Sun, that was the largest Tuesday night crowd at Oriole Park since the Orioles and Mets drew 34,068 on Aug. 18, 2015. “You know, I remember it when we had s

NEW YORK – The Nationals are hoping to start tonight’s game like they finished last night’s. Down 6-0 going into the eighth, they hit two two-run home runs and scored a fifth run over the game’s last two innings. And by doing so, they made the Mets use four relievers, including closer Edwin Díaz, in a game they should have run away with. The Nats w

NEW YORK – This first half has been forgettable for Keibert Ruiz. Ever since he landed on the 10-day injured list, missed 10 games and lost almost 20 pounds with a bad case of the flu in April, his season has been thrown out of whack. But surely – and albeit slowly – the young catcher is starting to see some consistent positive results at the plate

Take it one day at a time. Worry about today’s game. Don’t look too far ahead or much ahead at all. It can be a bit boring creed, but for the Orioles it is working. Their latest example of how they quickly deal with adversity and then move past it just happened Sunday at Oakland. After giving up 19 runs the day before, they scored four in the first
