Patrick Reddington: Will Strasburg be the Nationals' Game 1 starter?

Patrick Reddington: Will Strasburg be the Nationals' Game 1 starter?
When the Washington Nationals realigned their starting rotation going into back-to-back doubleheaders with the New York Mets and Miami Marlins, it worked out so that Stephen Strasburg would go in the next-to-last game of the year and Jordan Zimmermann would pitch in the 162nd game of the season. Manager Matt Williams explained to reporters that the decision gave Zimmermann a little extra rest after he suffered a bruised shoulder on a liner back to the mound during his last outing. Moving him...

Matthew Taylor: Postseason moments aren't always savored

Matthew Taylor: Postseason moments aren't always savored
When you think of great postseason moments, which ones come to mind? Chances are there are a fair number of home runs in the mix. Carlton Fisk. Kirk Gibson. Kirby Puckett. Joe Carter. David Freese. Playoff home runs are tailor-made for highlight reels. They tell quick, dramatic stories that often come to define a game and even a series. As the Orioles approach the 2014 playoffs, I've spent time wondering about the postseason moments that await. My daydreaming about the good things that could...

Williams, Zimmerman recap Nats' 7-4 loss (Game 2 lineups)

Williams, Zimmerman recap Nats' 7-4 loss (Game 2 lineups)
The Nationals are busy trying to clinch the top seed in the National League postseason. Ryan Zimmerman is just trying to get back to full strength. Zimmerman - playing in just his second game since July 23 - played seven innings Thursday, going 1-for-4 and scoring a run in the Nationals' 7-4 loss to the Mets. The final score wasn't what Zimmerman or the Nationals wanted, but for the 29-year-old, it meant another step toward recovery. "I was running at the same percentage," Zimmerman...

Musicians Margaret Valentine and Eric Hutchinson celebrate Orioles with exciting New York City performance

Musicians Margaret Valentine and Eric Hutchinson celebrate Orioles with exciting New York City performance
Listen to songs like "Catfish" by Bob Dylan or the "The Greatest" by Kenny Rogers and one thing is obvious: Baseball and music are better together. While in different fields, baseball players are often compared to musicians and called "rock stars." Although they have completely different jobs, both know how to thrill a crowd, unite a city and get people cheering. Oh yeah, and they both know how to celebrate! On Tuesday, Sept. 16, the Orioles celebrated clinching the American League East...

David Huzzard: Waiting for October

David Huzzard: Waiting for October
The day after the Nationals clinched the division, they put out a lineup that was more Triple-A Syracuse than it was Washington and it was a sign of things to come. Post clinch baseball is weird. A couple of days later, with the Nationals going for a four game sweep of the Marlins, and Stephen Strasburg through seven innings with a pitch count in the 80's, Craig Stammen entered for the eighth and disposed closer Rafael Soriano for the ninth. Post clinch baseball is somewhere between spring...

Zach Wilt: Comparing Nelson Cruz to Frank Robinson

Zach Wilt: Comparing Nelson Cruz to Frank Robinson
Nelson Cruz's career year couldn't have come at a better time. The Orioles slugger will likely finish the season with the Major League lead in home runs, assuming Jose Abreu doesn't go on an absolute tear. He currently sits at 40 homers, seven more than his previous career-high in 2009 and his 108 RBIs are also more than he's ever driven in, he finished with 90 in 2012. Cruz has totaled more doubles and taken more free passes this year than he had in any of his previous nine seasons in the...

Rachel Levitin: Younger Nats fans lucky to experience winning baseball in D.C.

Rachel Levitin: Younger Nats fans lucky to experience winning baseball in D.C.
The last (and first) time the Nationals clinched the National League East championship, it was Oct. 1, 2012. It was the end of the season. Stakes were high. Adrenaline was ever-present. It was all new territory and they were able to secure the victory while also celebrating on their home turf at Nationals Park. The second time around, things were a little different. The Nats clinched their division on Sept. 16 in Atlanta at Turner Field with a couple of weeks still left in the season. Sure, it...

Jon Shepherd: Voices in the stands

Jon Shepherd: Voices in the stands
In 2007, I was where you are. I voraciously read about the Orioles and participated on message boards. My thoughts and discussions about baseball were largely limited to reacting to written pieces or the dizzying pace at the old Baltimore Sun Orioles forum. Perhaps different from you, I was becoming more and more a message board hero armed with a set of sabermetric concepts, but without much understanding of the underlying data science. As I became aware of my path to be an internet...

Andrew Stetka: Sizing up the O's potential playoff foes

Andrew Stetka: Sizing up the O's potential playoff foes
In just over a week, the Orioles will dive into the postseason for the second time in three years. In 2012 there was a happy-to-be-here mindset, maybe not with the team, but definitely with the fan base. Things are different this time. There is an expectation. There won't be a one-game wild card playoff for the O's. They are guaranteed a five-game series in the American League Division Series and are going to have home field advantage. The only thing that remains unclear entering the final...
