Orioles executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias sat on the dugout bench this afternoon, media crowded around him, and held a piece of paper that he referred to as his “crib notes.” To memorize the injuries and updates would require a special skill that’s rare in baseball circles, though the Orioles keep testing their front office and ma
PITTSBURGH – The temperature has dropped about 30 degrees since Monday, with a strong wind now blowing in from the west, making the conditions at PNC Park far different than they were for the series opener. Maybe that can be a good thing for the Nationals, because they sure didn’t play well under Monday’s conditions en route to their third straight
Jordan Westburg is leading off tonight and playing third base as the Orioles begin their series against the Guardians. The lineup is heavy in right-handed bats against Guardians left-hander Logan Allen. Gary Sánchez is catching, with Adley Rutschman serving as designated hitter. Ramón Laureano is in left field and Jorge Mateo is playing second base
The Orioles optioned reliever Colin Selby to Triple-A Norfolk today and activated pitcher Scott Blewett, who was claimed on waivers yesterday from the Twins. Selby allowed two runs and three hits in his only inning in Arizona after the Orioles recalled him Wednesday as the roster replacement for Zach Eflin, who’s on the injured list with a right la
The Orioles have made the following roster moves: Activated RHP Scott Blewett. He will wear No. 67.Optioned RHP Colin Selby to Triple-A Norfolk.
Takes of all temperatures are flown about a variety of Orioles spaces. But one take should be freezing cold: this team sure knows how to draft. The minor league season is underway, and there are plenty of outstanding performances to highlight. The Orioles are in the midst of a long homestand, so let’s take some time to take a look down on the far
PITTSBURGH – There have been times in club history when the Nationals bullpen garnered too much attention for the wrong reasons. Think of the first half of the 2017 season, when Dusty Baker went through three different closers before Mike Rizzo finally acquired Sean Doolittle at the trade deadline. Think of the first half of the 2019 season, when D
The Orioles are in the midst of their longest homestand of the season with the Guardians, the second of three opponents, visiting Camden Yards tonight for a three-game series. Cleveland is 8-7 but only 3-6 on the road. The latest off-day arrived with the Orioles still in search of their first series and back-to-back wins. They’re batting .235/.302/
PITTSBURGH – They weren’t going to come right out and say it, but the Nationals understood the monumental task staring them in the face this evening. His name is Paul Skenes, and he’s the most intimidating pitcher on the planet right now. The Nats had managed to avoid the hulking Pirates right-hander during his ballyhooed rookie season. They finall
PITTSBURGH – Nasim Nuñez spent the entire 2024 season in the big leagues. Walking into the Nationals clubhouse this weekend shouldn’t have been a big deal for the 24-year-old infielder. It is different this time around, though. Nuñez may have been a big leaguer all last season, but he was the 26th player on a 26-man roster, a Rule 5 Draft pick task
