Orioles
The 2022 season may have seen the Orioles produce their first winning record since 2016. And it saw them lose fewer than 100 games in a full-season for the first time since 2017. In the end there were 83 wins for the Orioles, and a winning percentage of .512. But it didn’t start all that well. They were 0-3 after being swept to start the year in St

We continue today with a look at players not on the team’s 40-man roster who might still have a shot to make the Opening Day roster … For a team coming off a miserable, 107-loss season, the Nationa
Looking for Orioles locks heading into spring training

So close to the start of spring training, so insecure about how much I’m willing to guarantee about the 2023 Orioles. They won’t move out of Baltimore during the season. Bet the house on it. They won’t change managers. They won’t change mascots. They won’t change Boog’s BBQ into a vegan concession stand. But what about the team itself prior to open
