Liz Barr: Another All-Star Game, another snub for Anthony Rendon

Liz Barr: Another All-Star Game, another snub for Anthony Rendon
There were a number of deserving players left off the All-Star Game rosters, and perhaps none more than Anthony Rendon, who was not even given the Final Vote treatment that teammate Trea Turner received. It feels like we say this about Rendon every year around the All-Star break, but he always plays fantastic baseball and nobody ever gives him the time of day or recognizes his accomplishments on the diamond. It's no stretch to say that Rendon is worthy of a nod. Maybe not the most overwhelming...

Josh Michael: Ryan McKenna is hitting his stride at Double-A Bowie

Josh Michael: Ryan McKenna is hitting his stride at Double-A Bowie
No Orioles minor league player has risen more this season in terms of general O's fans knowing about him than outfielder Ryan McKenna. His performance this year has skyrocketed him into the limelight and he is hitting his stride at the plate with the Double-A Bowie Baysox in July. McKenna, 21, was drafted by the Orioles in the fourth round of the 2015 First-Year Player Draft out of St. Thomas Aquinas High School in New Hampshire. The 5-foot-11, 185-lb. right-handed hitting outfielder had three...

Marty Niland: Cracker Jack Classic brought stars to baseball-hungry D.C.

Marty Niland: Cracker Jack Classic brought stars to baseball-hungry D.C.
Now that the starting lineups have been announced and the rosters filled, Washington is abuzz about the 89th Major League Baseball All-Star game. Many historians will tell you will that the July 17 game will be the fifth All-Star meeting in the nation's capital, the first since 1969, and they'd be technically correct. However, each summer from 1982 to 1987, Washington baseball fans saw something arguably better come to RFK Stadium. The Cracker Jack Old Timers Baseball Classic featured lineups...

Andrew Stetka: A farfetched solution to deal with tanking teams

Andrew Stetka: A farfetched solution to deal with tanking teams
The Orioles are in the midst of an historically bad season, that much is clear. They are likely going to challenge the 1988 team for the worst record in franchise history. That squad finished 54-107 for a .335 win percentage after starting the season with an major league-record 0-21 mark. Neither this year's team or the 1988 squad were tanking, but that word has come up a bunch in recent baseball memory. Some point to the Astros or Cubs as examples of teams that tanked for a few years in order...

Ryan Sullivan: Hey, now, (I hope) you're an All-Star
After years of hype and anticipation, the 2018 Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Washington, D.C., is only 11 days away. The fan vote concluded Thursday and on Sunday, the American and National League will announce 31 of the 32 members of the 2018 All-Star Game rosters. It would be a travesty if Trea Turner is not selected. Somewhat lost amid this peculiar season for the Nationals has been Turner's development as perhaps the best shortstop in the NL and one of the best in the majors. The...

Zach Wilt: O's last blockbuster set franchise up for next decade

Zach Wilt: O's last blockbuster set franchise up for next decade
On every Orioles road trip this season, I wonder if Manny Machado will return home with the rest of the club. Was Sunday's 8-2 victory over the Angels the last time Machado played in front of the home crowd at Camden Yards as an Oriole or will we see him suit up again on Monday against the Yankees? We'll see what happens over the next three days as the Birds take on the Twins in Minnesota. Like many in Birdland, I've got my eyes glued to Twitter, waiting for that breaking news about an...

Liz Barr: Finding the positives during a rough stretch for Nationals

Liz Barr: Finding the positives during a rough stretch for Nationals
The last month or so of Nationals baseball has been a little bit rough. It's been tough for the team and tough for fans, and at times it's been hard to watch. They keep finding new ways to lose, and it seems like there are never enough runs scored, they can't get that big hit and there are always runners left on base. It's frustrating. But we can't wallow in misery. If we only talk about failures and what the team isn't doing right, we're going to drive ourselves crazy. Yeah, things...

Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden's baseball roots aren't in Washington, but she knows the sense of pride that baseball fans in the nation's capital feel toward their team and national pastime. "They represent the capital, and the team in the capital, and this is the all-American game," she said, previewing the Library of Congress' new exhibit, "Baseball Americana," which opened Friday amid the buildup to the 89th All-Star Game on July 17 at Nationals Park.

Andrew Stetka: Reaching a career crossroads, Jones' legacy is secure

Andrew Stetka: Reaching a career crossroads, Jones' legacy is secure
It feels like a yearly rite of passage for me at this point. Writing something about my admiration for Adam Jones has become commonplace. I guess in a way, I'm making fun of myself a bit for being so obsessed with the captain of the Orioles. But who can blame me at this point? He's been a transcendental figure on and off the field for the team in an important era. In fact, he has kind of defined an entire era of this franchise. Since signing a six-year extension with the Orioles as a...

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt"
Dave Sims is the television voice of the Seattle Mariners. He has been so for a dozen years. Our friendship goes back to our days in New York when he was doing an NBC nightly sports talk show and I was doing the Mets and New Jersey Devils. I am very happy it is a friendship that has endured. When in Baltimore recently, he graciously offered us comments on his favorite book, "The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt" by Edmund Morris. Sims is a long time consistent reader, particularly history. We spent...

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "The Razor's Edge"

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "The Razor's Edge"
"The Razor's Edge" by W. Somerset Maugham was published in 1944 and sold over 3 million copies, remaining on the best seller list for a year and a half. Many consider this to be Maugham at his best. Maugham moved from fact to fiction in his stories effortlessly. So many of his works carry pieces of himself. That may be true for all writers, but Maugham is more forward in these presentations than most. He wrote in 1938: "Fact and fiction are so intermingled in my work that now, looking back...

Ryan Sullivan: Saying farewell to Jayson Werth

Ryan Sullivan: Saying farewell to Jayson Werth
Earlier this week, Jayson Werth publicly acknowledged his baseball career is over, failing to specifically use the word retirement, but effectively ending his playing days. After the Nationals decided not to offer him a contract, Werth signed a minor league pact with Seattle in March to attempt to earn his way back to the majors. Unfortunately, nagging injuries and mediocre statistical performance was baseball's way of telling him his playing days were finished. Werth had a fascinating career,...
