A longer look at Beck (Orioles sign Costes)

Orioles
Selecting pitcher Jared Beck in the 13th round on the final day of the MLB Draft wasn’t a reach for the Orioles. And that’s just one of the many references to his height that will accompany his journey through the minors if he signs a professional contract. Beck must be used to it. There’s no hiding at 7 feet tall. The Orioles chose 12 pitchers. On

A look at a few things that went right in the first half for the O's

Orioles
They began the 2022 season by being swept at Tropicana Field, and were 2-6 after eight games. At the end of April they were 7-14. Same old Orioles. Except that would not turn out to be true. Not even close. By this point, even the harshest critics or those with misguided criticisms like “they’re still in last place” must realize the Baltimore Oriol
The good and the bad of the Nats' first half
Mark Zuckerman
Nationals
Look down upon the first half of the Nationals’ season from 30,000 feet in the air, and you can’t find much of anything to gloat about. How can you try to put a positive spin on a worst-in-baseball 31-63 record, a roster filled with ineffective stopgaps and all kinds of uncertainty at every level of the organization? You can’t. Look at the last 3 1

Today feels like an actual break in the 2022 baseball season. The MLB Draft is over, the All-Star Game was played last night and there’s only Trey Mancini’s inevitable – I’m calling it, anyway – ESPY tonight for Best Comeback Athlete. WNBA player Diamond DeShields, the daughter of former Orioles infielder Delino DeShields, had a tumor removed from

Orioles
Jorge López’s first All-Star Game experience was brief. Took him longer to warm up than to pitch. But it was perfection. López faced two batters in the bottom of the seventh inning and retired them on two ground balls. Total number of pitches: Three. One blink and you risked missing it. Replacing former Orioles Rule 5 pick Nestor Cortes Jr., López

Orioles
In his first three draft as Orioles executive vice president and general manager, Mike Elias selected just four pitchers in the first 10 rounds of those drafts. Of course the 2020 draft was just five rounds, but just four pitchers were taken over three drafts through that round. In 2019, the O’s first eight picks were position players until they se

The All-Star break, for better or worse, is all about the future of the Nationals. Juan Soto’s potentially dwindling future with the organization. Elijah Green and all the other 2022 draft picks’ potential future with the organization. These are franchise-altering days, developments that could determine whether this team has a chance to be a winner
