The best plays from the Orioles' first half

The best plays from the Orioles' first half
From walk-offs to diving plays and more, the Orioles have made their 52 first-half wins exciting to watch. Without further ado, let's relive some of our favorite plays from the Birds' first half of the season. Nick Markakis made a great diving catch, then threw to second to complete the double play.

National buzz surrounding Nats after first half of season

National buzz surrounding Nats after first half of season
Baseball is back! After a brief hiatus, the Nationals will kick off their second half of the season at home. While we're technically past the halfway point of the season, the All-Star break seems like a natural time to evaluate the first halves of teams' seasons. The Nats sit in a first-place tie with the Braves in the National League East with a 51-42 record. Before the Brewers-Nationals series kicks off tonight, let's take a look back at what national writers are saying about the Nats...

National buzz surrounding O's after first half of the season

National buzz surrounding O's after first half of the season
Although teams have technically played more than half of their games, the All-Star festivities serve as a clean break in the season, offering a time for players, managers, front offices, spectators and national writers to evaluate teams' seasons so far. And for the O's, all seems well when looking at their record. The Orioles, who in the offseason were projected to sit toward the bottom of the tough American League East, are in first place and have a four-game lead over the second-place Blue...

Patrick Reddington: Strasburg hopes for better results against Brewers

Patrick Reddington: Strasburg hopes for better results against Brewers
The Nationals were looking for a strong outing from Stephen Strasburg during the finale of the last series they played with the Milwaukee Brewers during Washington's trip to Miller Park in late June. The previous night's 16-inning marathon left the Nats bullpen depleted, but they'd outlasted the Brewers and set themselves up with an opportunity for a three-game sweep of the National League Central's first-place team. Strasburg was in the midst of a rough stretch of starts, however, in which...

Matthew Taylor: Where O's record is concerned, no apologies necessary

Matthew Taylor: Where O's record is concerned, no apologies necessary
Baseball's intermission is over. The second act of the 2014 season is about to get under way. Before we dim the house lights and take in the rest of the show, let's be clear about one thing: Orioles fans don't need to apologize for the team's success. The Orioles have their share of critics despite leading the American League East at the All-Star break for the first time since 1997. I was reminded of that reality by a fellow baseball fan this week when he commented of the O's first-place...

Zimmermann avoiding DL for now

Zimmermann avoiding DL for now
The Nationals have no plans to place Jordan Zimmermann on the disabled list at the moment, manager Matt Williams told the media after tonight's win. The right-hander's MRI results came back positive, revealing only a slight biceps strain in his pitching arm. That's good news for a pitcher who had Tommy John surgery in 2009 and is a relief for the club. Zimmermann had to leave his start Friday after just 49 pitches and 3 1/3 innings. He didn't seem overly concerned at the time. "The...

Nats get to Hamels in first (Nats win 5-3 in 10 innings)

Nats get to Hamels in first (Nats win 5-3 in 10 innings)
Left-hander Cole Hamels entered the night leading the Phillies rotation with a 2.87 ERA, having not allowed more than three runs since May 27. But the Nationals got to him right away tonight, taking a 1-0 lead in the first. Denard Span drew a leadoff walk and a double by Anthony Rendon put runners on second and third with no outs. Jayson Werth grounded out to short, bringing Span home and moving Rendon to third. But the Nats couldn't push another run across. Hamels minimized the damage by...

Patrick Reddington: Wondering what Zimmermann's future holds
While Ian Desmond's name was in the headline of FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal's article this week about the Nationals being in the market for a young shortstop who could potentially replace the 28-year-old infielder if he leaves as a free agent after the 2015 campaign, Jordan Zimmermann's name came up, as well. The Nats' 2007 second-round pick is due to become a free agent after next season. Both Desmond and Zimmermann were rumored to be discussing long-term deals last winter before each...

Matthew Taylor: The hits just keep coming
The Orioles had two batters log five hits in a game within the course of two days this past week. Nelson Cruz went 5-for-5 in a 7-4 win against the Red Sox. Manny Machado then followed suit with a 5-for-6 night at the plate in Monday's 8-2 win against the Nationals. Both players fell one hit short of the team record, which Cal Ripken Jr. established on June 13, 1999 at Atlanta. Had Cruz and Machado been playing at home, they would have matched the team record for most hits in a home game,...
