Marty Niland: Guys like Roark, who come out of nowhere, are what's great about baseball

Marty Niland: Guys like Roark, who come out of nowhere, are what's great about baseball
The #Nats sector of the Twitterverse was abuzz Saturday as Tanner Roark stroked the canvas that was the mound at Nationals Park. When he had finished his masterpiece, a complete-game, three-hit shutout of the San Diego Padres, the accolades came quickly and lasted longer than the 2 hours, 19 minutes it took the 27-year-old to dispatch the Padres. The most prescient among those followed here came from @TheNatidude, who tweeted, "You can see Harper, Stras & Rendon coming a mile away, but...

Andrew Stetka: Readying All-Star ballot, with an eye toward 2016

Andrew Stetka: Readying All-Star ballot, with an eye toward 2016
I realize it's only April, but Major League Baseball seems to think it's time to start voting for the All-Star Game. Ballots were released this weekend for the July 15 affair at Target Field in Minneapolis. It's clear that by the end of April, we have no idea who will earn spots on the team. There's plenty of baseball left to be played before then. I think the only thing that is clear is that the Twins' Joe Mauer will probably be starting on the American League squad in his home park. All...

Prove that you like "Our Guys" with Orioles' upcoming promotion
When you watch Orioles games or hear Buck Showalter talk about his players, one thing is obvious: The O's skipper is proud of his team.

And like Showalter, you too have the chance to prove your loyalty toward the 2014 Orioles. On Wednesday, April 30, the Orioles will be giving away "I Like Our Guys" t-shirts to all fans in attendance. Not only...

Patrick Reddington: The takeaway from Williams on Harper's benching

Patrick Reddington: The takeaway from Williams on Harper's benching
Late in the 2012 campaign, former Nationals manager Davey Johnson, who was tasked with helping to oversee the first two years of Bryce Harper's development as a major leaguer, was asked if there was anything he would like to see the then-19-year-old change? He said, "No," initially. "I like him just the way he is, to answer your question," Johnson told the reporter who asked. The all-out, hard-nosed, free-wheeling, super-aggressive approach Harper, the No. 1 overall pick in 2010, brought...

Matthew Taylor: An historical look at multi-homer games by Orioles

Matthew Taylor: An historical look at multi-homer games by Orioles
Nelson Cruz had the Orioles' first multi-homer game of the 2014 season on Wednesday. It continues a career-long streak for Cruz, who has had at least one multi-homer game in each of his big league seasons. The lone exception, if you can call it that, came in 2005 when he had seven at-bats as part of a late-season call-up with the Brewers. With Wednesday's performance, Cruz's streak of seasons with a multi-homer game has reached nine. Since I had multi-homer games on the brain, I went back...

David Huzzard: Tracking the Nationals and their trends

David Huzzard: Tracking the Nationals and their trends
There are times that I forget that baseball is about the journey and not the destination, but I become so focused on the destination, the unknown future, that I get frustrated when it isn't reached. These Nationals are predicted to win a World Series at some point. The ultimate potential of players like Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg is too great for them not to be a winning team for the foreseeable future, or at least that is what the experts say. So far with those two players together,...

Zach Wilt: O's guaranteed winning record during grueling stretch against AL East foes
Wednesday night's dramatic 10-8 victory against Toronto may have taken a few years off the lives of Orioles fans, or at least caused some gray hairs, but it was a crucial comeback victory that guaranteed a winning record in one of the most grueling stretches of the O's schedule. This evening, the Birds conclude an extremely difficult 15-game span against American League East opponents. It began with a three-game series in New York against the Yankees way back on April 7, the Bronx Bombers'...

Daniel Clark: For O's and Britton, that sinking feeling is pretty good
Human nature can be defined as the general psychological characteristics, feelings and behavioural traits of humankind, regarded as being shared by all humans. One such characteristic is that most of us enjoy hearing about a genuine feel-good story. In life, feel-good stories often focus on achievements by individuals who have had to fight to overcome adversity, and in the world of sports, that exact sentiment rings true. A feel-good story is never far away in professional baseball and each new...
