SEATTLE – Danny Coulombe hasn’t thrown a pitch for the Orioles since June 8. He faced six batters at Tropicana Field, retired all of them and struck out the side in the eighth inning. Five straight scoreless appearances lowered his ERA to 2.42. Talk of a possible berth in the All-Star Game sounded legit. Out of the many losses to the roster due to

This was always going to be James Wood Night at Nationals Park, no matter how the 21-year-old performed in his major league debut, no matter the outcome of the Nats’ series opener against the Mets. But as early evening turned to dusk turned to night on South Capitol Street, it became clear this game was going to come down to Wood at the plate – or

James Wood’s arrival date had been known since Friday. What wasn’t known was the identity of the player whose roster spot the Nationals’ top prospect would take. That question finally was answered this morning when the Nats designated Eddie Rosario for assignment, bringing an end to the veteran outfielder’s frustrating three months with the organiz

It ended with a blowout loss 11-2 last night, but for the most part the Orioles did a nice job through their extremely demanding stretch of 30 games over 31 days that ended on Sunday Night Baseball. The team today will have its first day off since June 17 and just its second since May 30. They played .600 ball during this run, going 18-12. When the

There has been no darker day in recent Nationals history – maybe in all of Nationals history – than Aug. 2, 2022, when general manager Mike Rizzo made the decision to trade Juan Soto to the Padres. The only saving grace that day was the glimmer of hope that the blockbuster move to deal a 23-year-old superstar (plus Josh Bell) in exchange for six pl

Connor Norby has stepped inside the Camden Yards home clubhouse a few times this season without actually being on the active roster. At least catcher David Bañuelos had his contract selected twice before the Orioles outrighted him. Norby was optioned June 11 after the Orioles returned from St. Petersburg, Fla. He got to Baltimore, had a locker set
