The smiles appear before the response. Ask a few Orioles hitters for their immediate reactions to news that the club is moving in the left field wall, and their approval can be seen on their faces. “I mean, I’m not disappointed,” catcher Adley Rutschman said yesterday evening after the Birdland Caravan made a stop at PBR Baltimore. “It’s definitely

There will be no Max Scherzer reunion in D.C. this season, an idea that sounded good in theory but probably never had much serious chance of coming to fruition. Scherzer, after waiting out a prolonged Hot Stove League in search of a job, finally found a new home Thursday, reportedly agreeing to a one-year, $15.5 million deal with the Blue Jays. It’

Today I write my last blog entry for MASNsports.com. Those words make me emotional and a bit sad. But it’s been a heckuva run filled with memories of special people, players, media friends and O's staff along with too many nights at ballparks to count.

And then there were two. Just two days left to share a few thoughts here on the Orioles as I wrap up my 17 years with MASNSports.com. I continue to stay upbeat and am embracing whatever comes next. But in whatever manner I follow and/or cover the 2025 Orioles there are a few things I’m looking forward to. Can the team start fast?: They did last yea
