Five Orioles predictions for 2023

Pitchers and catchers report next month. Somewhere in the middle of it. A long way from Opening Day on March 30 in Boston, but the distance is shrinking. The holiday themes are over unless I’m suddenly motivated by Valentine’s Day. Nothing so far about Cupid’s arrow, but I decided this morning to take a stab at some 2023 predictions. Here are five,
Looking at a few more available free agent pitchers

If the Orioles are going to add a pitcher they can slot at or near the top of their rotation, they are probably going to have to go the trade route at this point and potentially part with one or more of their top 30 prospects. But if they want to add a pitcher that can slot in the middle or back end of their rotation, they could still look to sign
Cishek retires after pitching for Nats in 13th MLB season

Nationals
In an alternate universe, Steve Cishek would’ve been a consistently effective setup man for the Nationals last season, effective enough to draw interest from other clubs over the summer and spend the rest of the year pitching for a contender while the Nats got a prospect or two in return. It didn’t happen that way, of course. Cishek, while effectiv

I’m finally done with 2022 except for those occasions when I reference it in relation to the upcoming season. Like, can the bullpen be as good or better than it was last summer?

As the New Year begins today, here is a wish for health and happiness for all of us. Without the first, it gets more difficult to have the second. Let’s all go two-for-two in 2023. As it relates to baseball and the Orioles, here is a wish list for a few people for the 2023 season. Manager Brandon Hyde: A wish that he not change one thing. Not anyth

It’s New Year’s Day, and you won’t find anybody associated with the Nationals not named Meneses who was disappointed to see 2022 come to an end. It was a miserable year, arguably the most miserable year in club history. But like Mark McGwire once tried to do in front of a congressional panel, let’s not talk about the past anymore. Let’s look ahead
Remembering some remaining 2022 moments as a new year arrives

Happy New Year. Hope you remembered to hydrate before going to bed. You’ll know if it wasn’t enough. One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was to order a water with every alcoholic beverage. You can thank me later. Do people still use a designated driver, or have Uber and Lyft made it obsolete? Anyway, the year 2022 is officially behind

On Aug. 30, 2020 the Orioles traded reliever Mychal Givens to the Colorado Rockies for three players, including Tyler Nevin.

We’ve reached the final week of the year, so it’s time to look back at the Nationals’ most significant stories of 2022.
