Throwback Thursday: From backhand to blind throw

Throwback Thursday: From backhand to blind throw
Early in the season, Anthony Rendon took over the hot corner, leaving the Nationals with a hole at second base. At the trade deadline, Mike Rizzo filled that opening with veteran Asdrubal Cabrera, adding an experienced glove and valuable bat as the Nats prepared for a postseason run. Cabrera has been known for flashing some leather throughout his career, and that proved to be no different during his time in the nation's capital. Cabrera performed as a human highlight reel at second base with...

Throwback Thursday: The Gonz show

Throwback Thursday: The Gonz show
Like every offseason, the Orioles starting rotation has become a primary focus. But this year is a little different than most. The O's seem to have too many starting pitchers, ending the season with six potential starters to fill five rotation spots. With that being said, a few of the O's hurlers have been mentioned in the never-ending rumor mill of trade talks. While Baltimore fans wait to see who stays and who goes, let's throw it back to one of the best pitching performances of 2014....

Daniel Clark: Recapping O's prospects' performances in Arizona Fall League
The summer of baseball has finished, and while most of the discussion has shifted to free agents, trades and roster moves, many of baseball's best young prospects have just completed play in the Arizona Fall League. Seven of those prospects - four pitchers and three position p layers - were wearing Orioles uniforms. Those seven minor leaguers were playing for the Glendale Desert Dogs, who won 14 games, lost 15 and tied two, finishing in last place in the AFL West Division. Here's how each...

Throwback Thursday: A celebratory "Cheers!"
Earlier this week, Matt Williams was named National League Manager of the Year by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

We got to see Williams and the Nats take it all in the night they clinched the division. In the middle of the craziness, Williams huddled the team together, raised a glass and shared a...
