One down, three to go. Hopefully, this is the last time this season the Nationals will play a doubleheader as they try to get tonight’s nightcap in before the remnants of Hurricane Ian hit our area. Unfortunately, the forecast doesn’t look good, even though I’m furiously knocking on wood. The Nationals have been dreadful against National League Eas

If this is the way the Nationals are going to play all weekend, they’re probably going to help the Phillies clinch their first postseason berth in 11 years. With a chance to deal their fading division rivals a serious blow in their attempt to hold off the Brewers for the final wild card berth in the National League, the Nats put forth a lackluster

NEW YORK – A weekend series at Yankee Stadium brings so much baggage to the Orioles. They could be eliminated from the wild card race. They could surrender Aaron Judge’s record-setting 62nd home run of the season. This is a unique visit that didn’t turn out as they wanted.

Gore, who was acquired from the Padres while on the 15-day IL with left elbow inflammation, had been bu

And away we go … It’s the final home series of the season, or at least it’s supposed to be the final home series of the season. Rain and the Phillies’ standing in the wild card race could force everyone to come back here Thursday to play however many games still need to be played to decide the race.

No team from the Orioles farm system won a league championship in the minors this year with High-A Aberdeen coming close and losing out on the final game of the playoffs. But it’s been a great year for the Orioles farm and one big reason is that it’s considered among the best farm systems in the sport. That is not the Orioles saying that, but outsi

Nationals
The final week of the season, with seven games against NL East contenders crammed into six days, always loomed as a tough closing stretch for the Nationals. But now that stretch looks even tougher. And it might have to be extended to a seventh day, depending on a variety of factors. When Major League Baseball put outs its initial 2022 schedule, thi
