Remembering time spent with Peter G. Angelos upon his passing

The dates and maybe even the actual years they occurred all seem to run together now. But I think it was sometime during the year 1999 that I first met and had lunch with Orioles owner Peter G. Angelos. At one point he said to me, "How is your sandwich?" I said, "Really good, thanks." He asked more questions about how I felt about the restaurant (I

JUPITER, Fla. – It hadn’t really dawned on Jake Irvin that his final start of the spring came against what very well may be the Cardinals’ Opening Day lineup, which the young Nationals right-hander proceeded to hold to one hit and two weeks over six sparkling innings. Asked if he felt it was significant he performed that well against a full major l

SARASOTA, Fla. – Peter G. Angelos, the longtime Orioles owner, famed class-action attorney and political activist in the city of Baltimore, died earlier today. He was 94. Angelos has been in poor healthy for many years, with son John taking control of the team and running the daily operations in 2018. The club issued a statement on behalf of the An

SARASOTA, Fla. – Last night’s cancellation has moved Corbin Burnes into tonight’s starting role against the Blue Jays in Sarasota and put Tyler Wells in the bullpen behind him. Burnes has allowed 11 earned runs (12 total) and 14 hits in 10 2/3 innings and surrendered five home runs in his five outings. His next start after tonight comes on Opening
Williams on short leash as No. 5 starter; Wood headed to Rochester

JUPITER, Fla. – Trevor Williams will open the season in the Nationals’ rotation, but the leash on the veteran right-hander could be short. In granting Zach Davies his unconditional release Friday, the Nats also selected Williams for the final spot in the Opening Day rotation, hoping the 31-year-old can bounce back from a difficult 2023 season. But
Split-squad lineups: Nats vs. Cardinals and Marlins

JUPITER, Fla. – The Nationals weren’t able to play Friday night due to persistent rain across the entire state of Florida. So they’ll try to play two today … even though neither is a makeup game against the Astros! See, the Nats already had a day-night, split-squad doubleheader scheduled. (Such great planning for the second-to-last day of spring tr
The Jackson Holliday news headlined a day of some O's roster clarity
Steve Melewski
Orioles
As it turns out the bigger surprise may have come during the Winter Meetings in Nashville in December. For anyone then pondering whether Jackson Holliday could make the O's Opening Day roster after just 18 Triple-A games (22 counting playoffs), there was logic and reason to say that that was just too few.  The kid could use more seasoning. So repor
More thoughts on Holliday's reassignment and some unexpected spring developments (lineup vs. Rays)
Roch Kubatko
Orioles
SARASOTA, Fla. – To say that Jackson Holliday’s exclusion from the Opening Day roster is a stunning development wouldn’t be accurate. I felt like I kept advising people to brace for bad news, that it wasn’t a sure thing. It ain’t on ‘till it’s on. I gave Holliday less than a 50 percent chance before the Winter Meetings, jumped into the 60-70 percen
