Major League Baseball released the schedules this afternoon The Orioles roll out the orange carpet on March 28, followed by an off-day and two more games. The Royals are next in town for a three-game series before the Orioles

Orioles CEO and Chairman John Angelos and Gov.

Angelos told the media in February, du

There was no baseball Wednesday. It’s the first time that was the case since mid-February, before pitchers and catchers reported to Florida and Arizona.

In fact there are just six teams that average even 90 or more pitches per night from their starters among the 30 clubs in the major leagues ri

The Nationals entered the 2022 season with modest expectations. Such is life when you lost 107 games the previous year and spent a grand total of $17 million on free agents over the winter. When they reached the All-Star break this week, the Nats found themselves with a 36-54 record, which equates to a 65-97 record over a full season. So while that

The 2023 MLB Draft is over and the Nationals have their new class of young prospects. The Nats made 20 picks in this week’s draft, highlighted by No. 2 overall selection Dylan Crews, the highly touted outfielder from Louisiana State University and Golden Spikes Award winner.
