There is one area where it might be tough for the 2023 Orioles to match the 2022 version. It’s an area that we won’t be able to compare on a stat sheet. It’s team chemistry and camaraderie. For the 83-win Orioles this year, it was exceptional. Players cited it throughout the year and as the season went on, it was hard not to notice how close-knit t

We know the 2022 season wasn’t a success for the Nationals at the major league level. Was it at least at the minor league level? It certainly was a season of improvement, not that the organization had anywhere to go but up. The Nats entered 2021 with the lowest-ranked farm system in baseball according to MLB Pipeline. They moved up from No. 30 to N

Dillon Tate can be pleased with his 2022 season. He probably should be ecstatic. How he led the Orioles in appearances with 67 and also established a career high in innings. How he posted the lowest ERA and walk average in his four years in the majors. How he became a trusted late-inning reliever on a contending team with 16 holds and five saves as

When I asked Orioles outfielder Austin Hays to analyze his own season before Wednesday’s doubleheader, the first point he made was an important one and I could tell it really mattered to him. He stayed on the field this year. There were a few bumps and bruises along the way, but he played in a career-high 145 games taking a career-high 535 at-bats.

While speaking to reporters in New York a few days ago to wrap up the 2022 regular season, general manager Mike Rizzo said this year was a “disappointment” for the Nationals. That should be a given after the Nats finished with the worst record in the major leagues at 55-107, setting a new club record for the most losses in a single season. When we

A tweak of the 40-man roster yesterday was similar to cleansing the palate before the main course. Likely the first and only time that Anthony Bemboom has been compared to a sorbet. The Orioles can’t really get busy with their offseason until after the World Series. The free agent market opens. Executives discuss potential trades. Decisions are mad

The Orioles made an adjustment to their 40-man roster on the first day of their offseason. Catcher Anthony Bemboom’s contract was selected this afternoon from Triple-A Norfolk, and right-hander Anthony Castro was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Bemboom didn’t play for the Orioles after No. 1 prospect Adley Rutschman arrived on Ma

The Orioles have made the following roster moves:   Selected the contract of C Anthony Bemboom from Triple-A Norfolk.Designated RHP Anthony Castro for assignment.

Major League Baseball’s expanded postseason bracket takes center stage for the first time this October. Even without the Nationals involved for the third straight season, it should be an interesting month of playoff baseball. Instead of two teams playing in each of the Wild Card Games that were used in nine of the last 10 seasons (the shortened 202

NEW YORK – There is no way to sugarcoat a 55-107 season, no silver lining to setting a club record for losses, no justifying the worst record in baseball. This was, undoubtedly, the worst of the Nationals’ 18 seasons since they arrived in the District in 2005. They lost more games than the awful 2008-09 teams. The rotation’s 5.97 ERA was far worse
