The 2025 season hasn’t gone the way that anyone had hoped.  At 73-81, the Orioles are likely on their way to a losing season, playing spoiler rather than contender. Just two active members of Baltimore’s roster have played more than 85 games, and only two pitchers have started more than 20 contests.  Yet, despite disappointing results, there have b

The Orioles claimed right-hander Dom Hamel on waivers today from the Mets and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk. The 40-man roster is full. Hamel, 26, was a third-round draft pick in 2021 out of Dallas Baptist University. His only major league appearance came on Wednesday against the Padres and he tossed a scoreless inning with three hits allowed an

NEW YORK – Josiah Gray has made it through his prescribed rehab program healthy. Now the Nationals must decide if they want to activate the right-hander to make one final game appearance in the big leagues before season’s end, fully completing his return from last summer’s Tommy John surgery. Gray threw 45 pitches Friday night for Triple-A Rocheste

NEW YORK – Game one of this weekend series didn’t go so well for the Nationals, who took an early 4-1 lead over the Mets but ultimately lost 12-6 behind poor pitching and poor defense. New York, in the process, maintained its two-game lead over the victorious Reds for the final wild card berth in the National League with eight games to go. They’ll

The Orioles won’t have much of a presence in the voting for the four major awards, which is part of the fallout from being in last place and underachieving to such a large degree. The shows will go on without them. There’s always 2026. The Baseball Writers’ Association of America is adding a reliever award next year, but it wouldn’t have mattered t

NEW YORK – A Nationals roster loaded with rookies and a bunch of others with only slightly more experience stepped into the cauldron that is Citi Field on a Friday night in late September, recognizing it was going to require both productive and clean baseball to take down a Mets team fighting for its postseason life right now. They actually got the

Trevor Rogers sprinted from the dugout to the mound tonight after Jackson Holliday made the last out in the bottom of the fifth inning. Yankees players hadn’t started to come off the field and Rogers wanted to begin warming. He might have set a land speed record. Rogers exudes confidence, always in control, always giving the Orioles a chance, wheth

The Nationals are moving Mitchell Parker to the bullpen for the remainder of the season, a reflection both of the left-hander’s year-long struggles and the recent emergence of rookie Andrew Alvarez in the rotation. Parker, whose 16 losses and 5.85 ERA both rank last in the majors, was informed of the switch earlier this week and said he understands

Interim manager Tony Mansolino received the news of his bump from third base coach after a May 16 loss to the Nationals at Camden Yards, and his immediate thought turned to the rest of the staff. The uncertainty for everyone moving forward. He could relate and sympathize. Mansolino witnessed it through his childhood. He’s dealing with it now, unsur

NEW YORK – Hello from Citi Field, where tonight the Nationals open their final road trip of the season with the opener of a big weekend series against the Mets. Big for the Mets, that is. New York is clinging to a two-game lead over the Diamondbacks and Reds for the final Wild Card berth in the National League. These games mean a lot to the locals.
