The Nationals are bringing back Sean Doolittle in 2023, re-signing the popular, rehabbing reliever only hours after he officially became a free agent. Doolittle, who appeared in only five games last season before suffering a major elbow injury, agreed to terms on a minor league contract that includes an invitation to big league camp next spring. He

Long gone, but never forgotten: Baltimore's Memorial Stadium

From 1954 to 1991, it was home for the Orioles. It was also home to the Baltimore Colts, the Canadian Football League’s Baltimore Stallions and for their first two seasons, the Baltimore Ravens. In 1993, it was even home for a season to the Bowie Baysox before Prince George’s Stadium was built. For some of us of a certain age, it just felt like ...

Armchair general managers remained on call throughout the World Series. Can't put away the cell phone or shut the laptop. There's lots of work to do. Never mind that your salary isn't enough to tip the DoorDash driver. You're in it for the love of the game. I already posed three questions: whether you’d re-sign first baseman Jesús Aguilar, whether

A look at O's pitch usage/mix from 2022

Orioles
We are getting into the weeds a bit here today, digging into some pitching numbers that might be interesting to look at and note. Maybe they actually tell us something about Orioles pitching as well. First, in the simplest terms, O’s pitchers, as a staff, threw fewer fastballs and changeups in 2022 compared to 2021. They threw more sliders and cutt

Servideo back in good health and working to stay that way
Roch Kubatko
Orioles
Helping a friend move yesterday wasn’t part of Anthony Servideo’s offseason workout program, but it offered further evidence of his improved health. Some heavy lifting that couldn’t be taken lightly after everything he’s gone through. The Orioles chose Servideo in the third round of the truncated 2020 draft out of the University of Mississippi, int

Cave was claimed off waivers from the Twins on Oct. 11, the Orioles’ second roster move following the season. The
