In four days, the Orioles will be defending their division title. Before they take the field, we're throwin' it back to the moment they clinched their first American League East championship in 17 years. Relive the madness from the Clinchmas celebration in the video below.

VIERA, Fla. - The Nationals have three days remaining before Sunday's deadline to trim their roster to 25 for opening day. Clint Robinson is in a place he's not familiar with. The 30-year-old has never made it this far in spring training with any big league club. Now he's on the doorstep of breaking camp in the majors with a team projected to win the World Series. "It's a 50/50 shot: You either make it or you don't," said Robinson. "I'm trying not to think about it. It's part of the...

Opening day is only four days away. That's right, Nationals fans. Only four more days until the defending National League East champions take the field. Speaking of NL East champions ... Before the Nationals begin to chase another division title, let's throw it back that moment. Yes, I am talking about that moment. Relive the Clinchmas celebration below. It truly never gets old.

SARASOTA, Fla. - Put on your Mickey ears and join me for the drive to Disney for tonight's game against the Braves. It's the happiest place on Earth, except for players who train in Sarasota and are making the bus trip to Orlando twice in three days. I'll ask again: Who makes out this schedule? Left-hander Wei-Yin Chen makes his final spring start tonight. He's allowed three earned runs (four total) in 13 1/3 innings in the Grapefruit League, and he logged another five-plus innings against...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Zach Davies will start Saturday against the Braves in Orlando, wrapping up the Grapefruit League schedule. Davies went 3 2/3 innings against the Rays on Monday and allowed one run on Evan Longoria's homer. Showalter is taking a handful of regulars to Orlando on Thursday, including Manny Machado, Delmon Young, Everth Cabrera and Steve Pearce. Nolan Reimold also is on the trip. Bud Norris threw 84 pitches today at Twin Lakes Park. Cabrera...

Since Baseball America released its first list of the top 100 prospects in baseball in 1990, just six Orioles minor leaguers have made the top six on that list. Here is the rundown: No. 1 - Matt Wieters in 2009 No. 2 - Dylan Bundy in 2013, Ben McDonald in 1990 No. 3 - Jeffrey Hammonds in 1994 No. 5 - Brian Matusz in 2010, Arthur Rhodes in 1992 No. 6 - Arthur Rhodes in 1991 New Oriole Travis Snider can relate to the players on this list. Coming up as a young player with the Toronto Blue Jays, he...

ORIOLES QUICK WRAP Score: Orioles 3, Pirates 3 Recap: Chris Tillman allowed two runs and three hits in five innings, with no walks and eight strikeouts. He retired 11 of the last 12 batters. Pedro Alvarez hit a two-run homer off Tillman in the second inning to break a scoreless tie. Everth Cabrera hit his first spring home run in the third inning, and he got all of it. He tied the game in the seventh with an RBI triple and scored on Alejandro De Aza's infield hit. Brian Matusz allowed four...

Orioles director of player development Brian Graham talked to minor league pitcher Pat Connaughton on Tuesday. Tonight, he told me about that conversation and sounded very much like someone who expects to see Connaughton return to the Orioles. He just doesn't know exactly when that might be. In an interview on Boston radio station WEEI Monday, Connaughton said there was a chance he would not report to the Orioles this year. He just completed his senior season on the Notre Dame basketball team...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Everth Cabrera didn't short-change himself tonight when hitting his first home run of the spring. Cabrera crushed one to left-center field off Francisco Liriano in the bottom of the third inning to reduce the Pirates' lead to 2-1. His season-high in home runs is four in 2013. Cabrera is 2-for-6 lifetime against Liriano in the regular season. Expected to get most of the starts at shortstop in J.J Hardy's absence, Cabrera is 15-for-54 (.278) with three doubles, a triple and...

SARASOTA, Fla. - Orioles right-hander Miguel Gonzalez will pitch in a minor league game on Friday while Ubaldo Jimenez starts against the Braves. Manager Buck Showalter is carefully lining up his starters as the final days of camp melt away. "It just kind of fits whether somebody ends up in the 'pen or starting, they're all available on Monday," Showalter said. "It keeps everybody in play. Plus, I do think Ubaldo's had enough of the gray (road) pants." The starter for Saturday's...
