ST. LOUIS – Alex Call returned to his hotel room late Wednesday night and couldn’t help but think about it. A short while earlier, Call had found himself right in the middle of the play that decided the Nationals’ game against the Cardinals. Having pinch-run for Riley Adams in the top of the eighth, he was now in left field during a harrowing botto

He may have gotten off to a slow start with Triple-A Norfolk - he was 3-for-31 there through Wednesday - but O’s 2021 top draft pick Colton Cowser had a heckuva run during his 49-game stint at Double-A Bowie before the outfielder moved up. To say the least Bowie manager Kyle Moore was impressed with Cowser and his entire game after he joined the Ba

This is where the Orioles get up, brush off the dirt and go back to work. The first two steps probably were completed before today. Otherwise, an off-day was wasted. The last-place Red Sox are in town for three games, an unexpected 5 ½ behind the Orioles in the division standings. They lost three in a row, won five straight and just got swept in a

ST. LOUIS – When a familiar situation presented itself this afternoon at Busch Stadium, his team holding a late lead against the Cardinals, Davey Martinez opted to once again entrust that lead to Kyle Finnegan. The only difference: This time, Finnegan got the ball for the bottom of the eighth, not the bottom of the ninth. Actually, there was anothe

ST LOUIS – Had the Nationals hung on to win Wednesday night, instead of watching as Kyle Finnegan blew a four-run lead in the bottom of the ninth, the story of that victory might well have focused on Erasmo Ramirez, who quietly strung together 2 2/3 perfect innings of relief to keep the game close and put his teammates in position to rally in the t

ST LOUIS – The Nationals were one out away Wednesday night of victory, of securing at least a four-game split here at Busch Stadium and of clinching a winning road trip against two division leaders. And then … well, you know what happened in the bottom of the ninth. They still have an opportunity today, however, to achieve all of the above and head

It was a nice honor for an Orioles prospect that might be flying a bit under the radar this year. This despite being tied for the organization lead in home runs with 23. But Connor Norby, Double-A Bowie second baseman, got some recognition yesterday when he was named the Eastern League Player of the Month for August. Over 26 games during the month,

The regular season is down to 25 games. Six against the Blue Jays, who lead them by 4 1/2 in the wild card race. What the Orioles do over these last four weeks will be an entertaining watch. It’s about more than results on the field, though, who isn’t dying to find out what happens? Baseball really matters in Baltimore while the Ravens get set for
