#TBT to "Nationals Classics": A healthy filling of homers for Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving, NatsTown! I hope your Turkey Day is filled with family, friends, delicious food and drink, and football! But if your family is more of a baseball-first kind of group, then we've got a treat for you. Instead of watching the traditional slate of football games this afternoon, tune in to MASN for the first of not one, not two, but three(!) "Nationals Classics" from this past season we're airing this week as part of our Throwback Thursdays! Our holiday special is one of two...

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Trumbo crushes first opening day walk-off homer in O's history

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Trumbo crushes first opening day walk-off homer in O's history
On April 3, Orioles fans were spoiled with a dramatic and thrilling opening day contest in a 2016 American League wild card game rematch against the Blue Jays. Tied 2-2 with two outs and two strikes in the bottom of the 11th inning, O's slugger Mark Trumbo picked up right where he left off in 2016, when he led the majors with 47 home runs during the regular season. A solo shot to left-center field notched his sixth career walk-off homer, this one coming off Jason Grilli, which led the Birds to...

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Taylor's inside-the-park grand slam and Wieters' slam

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Taylor's inside-the-park grand slam and Wieters' slam
We're very thankful for "Nationals Classics" during this time of year. With no baseball being played and the holidays approaching, we've stacked not one, but two "Nationals Classics" from this past year into this week's Throwback Thursday. First up this week is one of the most exciting games we saw in 2017. After falling behind early to the Phillies on Sept. 8, the Nationals put together a furious comeback behind Michael A. Taylor, who had one the best games of his career. The highlight...

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Kendrick's walk-off grand slam lifts Nats

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Kendrick's walk-off grand slam lifts Nats
The Nationals were busy at the non-waiver trade deadline this season. Even with a double-digit lead in the National League East, general manager Mike Rizzo still needed to make moves to set the team up for the postseason. Obviously, the bullpen needed reinforcements, so Rizzo acquired Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson immediately after the All-Star break, and then also Brandon Kintzler right at the July 31 deadline. But while Nationals fans were clamoring for new relief arms, Rizzo made another...

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Britton notches 55th consecutive save to break AL record

"Orioles Classics" #TBT: Britton notches 55th consecutive save to break AL record
We continue our #ThrowbackThursday offseason series with a look at one of the top pitching milestones of the 2017 season. On July 23, in the Orioles' 9-7 comeback win over the eventual World Series champion Astros, closer Zach Britton locked down his 55th consecutive save to set a new American League record, which was previously held by Red Sox closer Tom "Flash" Gordon (54, April 19, 1998-May 31, 1999). Britton's dominant streak continued until Aug. 21, when he converted his 60th...

#TBT: Max Scherzer's two no-hitters

#TBT: Max Scherzer's two no-hitters
Four days until opening day in Atlanta and one week until the home opener at Nationals Park! But who's counting? Opening day in four days means we're right around the corner from seeing ace Max Scherzer take the mound for the first time. And, as we know, when Scherzer is on, he is absolutely dominant. How could we go an entire offseason of #TBT posts without looking at the Nationals' two biggest standout moments from 2016? Check out Scherzer's two historic no-hitters below to get you pumped...

#TBT: Wieters wins it with walk-off homer in the 11th
Four. More. Days. We're just four days away from opening day in Birdland and we can't wait. For hot dogs in the stands. For the stands to be filled with a sea of orange. For the opportunity to meet fans at our booth on Eutaw Street. For home runs landing on Eutaw Street. And, of course, for walk-off wins. Get a taste of what's to come with this huge homer from catcher Matt Wieters that had it all. Into the 11th inning, the Orioles and Braves were locked at 1-1. Wieters stepped to the plate...

#TBT: Nats explode for 16 runs in rout of Rays

#TBT: Nats explode for 16 runs in rout of Rays
Yesterday was a great day for a MASN broadcast of a Nationals game. But then again, when is there ever not a great day to watch a baseball game on MASN? Stephen Strasburg stole the show against the Yankees at Space Coast Stadium yesterday. He only pitched five innings against a non-regular Yankees lineup, but he struck out nine on just 68 pitches. It's good to see Strasburg is ready for the regular season. But overshadowed by Strasburg's performance was the Nationals' offensive onslaught...

#TBT: Tyler Wilson impresses in first major league start

#TBT: Tyler Wilson impresses in first major league start
We're at that point in spring training where tough decisions must be made. If you read Roch Kubatko's morning post on the importance of today's Orioles exhibition game, then you know it's a big day for starting pitcher Tyler Wilson, who, amid Miguel Gonzalez's command struggles this spring, finds himself competing for a spot in the starting rotation. Wilson has a 2.89 ERA over four spring appearances, including two starts, while giving up just four runs (three earned) and 11 hits. With...

#TBT: Ian Desmond receives ovation in last home start in D.C.

#TBT: Ian Desmond receives ovation in last home start in D.C.
Drafted by the Expos in 2004, longtime National Ian Desmond was a staple in the infield. Over seven big league seasons with the Nationals, Desmond earned three Silver Slugger Awards and was named an All-Star in 2012. In 2015, as the Nats' season began to wind down, Desmond and fans knew that the shortstop's time in D.C. was likely coming to an end. In Desmond's last home game of the season, Trea Turner entered the game at shortstop in the ninth inning as manager Matt Williams allowed fans to...

#TBT: Schoop corrals Joseph's throw, puts tag on Duda
The first spring training game on MASN is around the corner and baseball in Baltimore is right on its heels! In just a few days, I'll be heading down to sunny Sarasota, Fla., to see games with my own two eyes for the first time in 2016. It's so close I can almost hear the sound of bats cracking and balls popping into mitts! While real games are a month and a day away, there are still many questions that need to be answered, including: * With Matt Wieters returning, how much time will Caleb...

#TBT: Nationals pull off circus play against Giants

#TBT: Nationals pull off circus play against Giants
One player who has made an early impression in spring training is flamethrower Felipe Rivero. "Boy, that lefty out there throwing 100 mph, he's got a pretty good chance," manager Dusty Baker said earlier this week. Last season, over 49 appearances, Rivero pitched to a 2.79 ERA. Headed into his sophomore season, will the 24-year-old be able to keep up his reputation as a staple in the bullpen? Leave a comment with your predictions and check out one of the Nationals' best plays from last...

#TBT: Rookie Mychal Givens snags scorching liner

#TBT: Rookie Mychal Givens snags scorching liner
Reliever Mychal Givens made quite the impression in his rookie season. The shortstop-turned-pitcher appeared in 22 games for the Orioles in 2015 and pitched to a stellar 1.80 ERA. Now heading into his sophomore campaign, there are many questions surrounding Givens. Although the 25-year-old is expected to break camp with the team, he is one of the few optionable pieces that make up the Orioles bullpen. Will he be with the O's to begin the 2016 regular season or will he be shuttled back and...

#TBT: Joe Ross strikes out 11 in third career start
BASEBALL. IS. BACK. Pitchers and catchers report today, which means that Nationals baseball is officially here for the 2016 season! Spring training will answer a lot of questions surrounding the Nationals, including how the bullpen and starting rotation will shape up. Tanner Roark is likely to rejoin the rotation since he had an impressive 2014 campaign as a starter, posting a 15-10 record and a 2.85 ERA. Pitching out of the bullpen last season, he pitched to a 4.38 ERA. Another pitcher likely...

#TBT: Kevin Gausman ends season on high note
BASEBALL IS BACK! Orioles pitchers and catchers report today, officially signifying the start of the 2016 season! While dreaming of warm weather and baseball games under the lights, we're looking back at a player who will be heavily looked at this season: pitcher Kevin Gausman. The right-hander shuttled back and forth between Triple-A Norfolk and Baltimore last season. However, this season, he's expected to be a staple in the rotation. Will he fare better with stability this season? For this...

#TBT: Max Scherzer strikes out 16 in dominant performance

#TBT: Max Scherzer strikes out 16 in dominant performance
When reflecting on Max Scherzer's 2015 season, two no-hitters immediately come to mind - and rightfully so. However, I could argue that a performance that wasn't a no-hitter may have been his best start of the season. This game is a standout, as the Nationals ace simply made Brewer after Brewer look silly. In the shutout victory, Scherzer allowed just one bloop single and one walk while striking out 16. Yes, 16 batters! While he went on to record a nearly perfect no-hitter in his next start,...

#TBT: Henry Urrutia smacks walk-off homer for first career longball

#TBT: Henry Urrutia smacks walk-off homer for first career longball
This spring training will be a big one for outfielder Henry Urrutia, who will try to show that he deserves a spot on the Orioles' 25-man roster. While O's fans have only seen Urrutia in two short stints in the big leagues - one in 2013 and one in 2015 - he has made an impact. Last season, he hit .265 (9-for-34) in 10 games with the Orioles. Of those nine hits, none topped the throwback moment we're looking at today. The Orioles and Mets were tied at 4-4 in the bottom of the ninth when...

#TBT: Anthony Rendon charges grounder, makes great play to first

#TBT: Anthony Rendon charges grounder, makes great play to first
He's got pop in his bat and range while manning the hot corner. Unfortunately, third baseman Anthony Rendon was limited to 80 games last season due to injury. However, some experts are saying that Rendon could become a top infielder in the National League in 2016. Rendon certainly showed off his talent in the 2014 season. He scored 111 runs en route to finishing fifth in National League MVP voting and being named a Silver Slugger. So what could be on deck for a healthy Rendon? Hopefully, many...
