The Baltimore Orioles will play baseball again one day. But it won’t be tomorrow. They were supposed to open their 2020 season on Thursday, Mar. 26. It would have been the earliest start in the club’s history, which goes back two-thirds of a century. Now, it’ll be the... read more

I finally figured it out. Something’s been bothering me about the Orioles’ good five-season stretch from 2012 to 2016. And yes, it was a good stretch, despite the Orioles regularly bragging that during that period, they were the winningest team in the American... read more

No, I am not predicting that the Orioles’ season in 2020 will be like the “Why Not?” season of 1989. But I’ll share a little something I gleaned from the players who were in town for the 30th anniversary of that very special season. As those players came in to speak... read more

Retiring Orioles radio announcer Joe Angel had a signature home run call that seems to fit this column like a glove. “Wave it bye-bye!” Joe would say whenever a player hit one over the fence. In a similar vein, Baltimore recently lost three great parts of a storied... read more

(JTA) — Ten Jewish-American baseball players will become dual Israeli citizens partly to help the country’s team make the 2020 Olympics. Some of the players, who will visit Israel’s Interior Ministry next week to begin the process, also represented Israel in last... read more

An Adam Jones conversation devoid of numbers might be a good idea for the O’s. If you think the 2018 baseball season in Baltimore has been horrific, well, that’s certainly no news flash. At last, Orioles ownership and management has gone all in for a much-needed... read more
