Game 101 lineups: Nats vs. Padres

The Nationals couldn’t have asked for a better start to their second half, sweeping the Reds over the weekend in impressive fashion. Now they’ll have to try to keep it going against a team that recently swept them. The Padres are in town, and it was only four weeks ago when they won three straight against the Nationals during a wild series in San D

One example of O's drafting a college pitcher and making him better
Steve Melewski
Orioles
It was a question that came up during the recent MLB Draft. Why do the O’s draft some college pitchers with modest stats? What do they see here? Said O’s vice president of player development and domestic scouting Matt Blood: “It’s usually a combination of raw stuff, physical capacity, the athleticism, the way they move and then performance. It’s so
Yepez making most of unexpected opportunity with Nats

For three months, as he produced decent – but hardly spectacular – numbers in Rochester, Juan Yepez had little reason to believe he was a simple phone call away from Washington. He was, like so many others with big league experience, stuck at Triple-A, trying to make the best of a frustrating situation. “For sure, I felt like the call felt far,” he
Some thoughts on Orioles offense, Santander's hot stretch and trade deadline rumors (McDermott in Miami)

Orioles
The 2025 schedule is much kinder to the Orioles, in case you hadn’t perused it. Four days off in April, four in May, three in June, three in July along with the All-Star break, three in August and four in September. They began the second half by winning two of three games in Texas and were off yesterday. Seems early after the break, but they won’t
Finnegan won't soon forget hectic, thrilling, successful week

Forgive Kyle Finnegan if he has trouble remembering what day it currently is, or where he’s been over the last week. A quick refresher course, then. On Sunday, Finnegan was with the Nationals in Milwaukee, having just pitched three straight days. On Monday, he and his family were in Hershey, Pa., enjoying their All-Star break at an amusement park.
Not just any rumor: O's said to have interest in Detroit's Tarik Skubal

Orioles
The Orioles that played in Texas over the weekend look more like the Orioles we saw for most of this season and not the Orioles who went 1-5 on their homestand heading into the All-Star break. Perhaps whatever ailed the team for several days of lackluster baseball is gone forever and more solid play and wins are ahead of us. What is directly ahead

ARLINGTON, Texas - The grind of the first half finally caught up to the mailbag. It lacked energy. It stranded questions. The break came at the ideal time. Let's get to the latest edition of the beloved 2008 original while the Orioles are enjoying an off-day - after playing only three games to begin the second half. There are worse places to be tha
Latest Santander homer too little to save Orioles in 3-2 loss (updated)

Orioles
ARLINGTON, Texas – The Orioles won’t begin the second half with a sweep. Former Orioles minor league catcher Jonah Heim hit a three-run homer off Dean Kremer today in the fourth inning and the Rangers avoided an early crash to post a 3-2 victory before an announced crowd of 31,808 at Globe Life Field. The Yankees lost again today to remain two game
