David Huzzard: Looking ahead to free agency after 2018 season

David Huzzard: Looking ahead to free agency after 2018 season
There is a lot of talk about where Bryce Harper will land when he becomes a free agent after the 2018 season. There is also a lot of discussion of who else is available and if a Golden State Warriors-like super team could be formed in Major League Baseball. It is perfectly possible. Daniel Murphy and Harper are scheduled to be free agents from the Nats, Manny Machado and Josh Donaldson will both be free agents at third base, Charlie Blackmon and Adam Jones will join Harper as available...

SLAP tear prevention tips for baseball and softball players (via Johns Hopkins Medicine)
A SLAP tear can be a serious injury no matter your age or professional level. It is common in baseball and softball pitchers, position players and other athletes who do a lot of overhead arm motions similar to throwing. The majority of SLAP tears don't happen in one day and are usually a result of repetitive trauma inside the shoulder. Whether you are a baseball or softball player, a coach or a concerned parent, there are things you can do to prevent SLAP tears. Johns Hopkins sports medicine...

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "The Nuremberg Legacy"

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "The Nuremberg Legacy"
Norbert Ehrenfreund covered the Nuremberg trials as a journalist for the Stars and Stripes. He went on to become a lawyer and judge in California. Thus, "The Nuremberg Legacy "brings an insight from one who witnessed what went on at the trials and the insight of an attorney who has given great thought to what the trials meant then and now. Throughout "The Nuremberg Legacy," there is a voice of "let us not forget." The continued lunacy of those who preach there was no Holocaust requires...

Yard Work: Episode 8

Yard Work: Episode 8
Hey, O's fans. Welcome to another edition of Yard Work. On this week's episode ... It's hard to believe, but June is here already. And as the weather heats up, so has the competition in the American League East, where it seems the Orioles are always battling it out against a divisional foe. That might not be a bad thing, mind you, as the Birds are 21-13 vs. the AL East and sit just 2 1/2 games out of first place. On the offensive side of things, did we see Manny Machado return to form during...

Dillon Atkinson: Adding Tejada creates questions in Orioles infield

Dillon Atkinson: Adding Tejada creates questions in Orioles infield
On Tuesday afternoon, the Orioles added Triple-A Norfolk infielder Rubén Tejada to the 25-man roster and designated infielder Paul Janish for assignment. Janish, 34, has appeared in 14 games in each of the 2015 and 2016 seasons for the Birds, as well as three games this year. The 27-year-old Tejada was acquired by the Orioles on Sunday evening in a trade that involved sending cash considerations to the Yankees. Tejada has played in seven major league seasons, mostly with the Mets. He played...

Luke Erickson: Is too much attention being paid to Tebow?

Luke Erickson: Is too much attention being paid to Tebow?
A lot of attention was paid this past weekend to the 29-year-old left fielder for the visiting Columbia Fireflies in a four-game series at the Nationals' Single-A Hagerstown affiliate, a matchup of the third-place team in the Southern Division against the first-place team in the Northern Division. From a baseball perspective, this is puzzling. After Sunday's game, he had 16 RBIs and 16 walks, 53 strikeouts and 53 total bases in 47 games. His OPS (on-base plus slugging) is .629 - roughly 60...

Marty Niland: NL-best Nats should be well represented in All-Star Game

Marty Niland: NL-best Nats should be well represented in All-Star Game
These are great days to be a Nationals fan. Once upon a time, Washington was ridiculed as "first in war, first in peace and last in the American League." Now, after winning five of the first six games on their current West Coast road trip, the Nats are first in the National League, and first in just about everything else. At 35-20, the Nats have the edge on the 36-23 Rockies for the league's best record, and that's not all. Who is leading not only the National League but all of baseball in...

Andrew Stetka: Machado presents greatest conundrum in years for O's

Andrew Stetka: Machado presents greatest conundrum in years for O's
Manny Machado spent the weekend doing what appeared to be working his way out of a major slump. No one can say for sure, but Machado went 6-for-15 with two home runs, two doubles and five runs scored over the course of four games against the Red Sox. Perhaps it's just Boston that brings out the bat for the All-Star third baseman. Six of his 12 home runs and 11 of his 27 RBIs have come against the Red Sox this season. But I suppose there could be some extra motivation behind that offensive...

David Huzzard: It's safe to love Zimmerman again
Every now and then, my new life in Virginia Beach, Va., takes me down Princess Anne Road to West Neck Road and past Kellam High School. Whenever I drive that way, I think of Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman. An autographed picture of him also hangs in my favorite seafood restaurant, Margie and Ray's, and after the last two seasons and before this one, whenever I thought of Zimmerman, I was filled with sadness. As a longtime fan of the Nationals, Zimmerman is a part of many of my best...

Zach Wilt: Jones' return a positive development for Orioles

Zach Wilt: Jones' return a positive development for Orioles
For four long days, the Orioles were without their captain in center field and his absence was felt for all 96 hours. Adam Jones rested a sore ankle and hip for three games, then was scratched from Tuesday's lineup when rain was in the forecast. The O's went 1-3 in those contests and then welcomed back No. 10 with open arms on Thursday. It's hard to imagine the Orioles without Jones. It just doesn't feel natural. For the last decade, he's been the guy out there consistently day after day....

Yard Work: Episode 7

Yard Work: Episode 7
Hey, Orioles fans. Welcome to another installment of Yard Work. In this week's episode ... It seems obvious that the key to the Orioles' success this season lies in the hands of the Yard Work podcast. After all, scheduling conflicts forced us to miss an episode last week and since then, the Birds have taken a turn for the worse. In all seriousness, it was a rough end of May for the O's as they find themselves in third place heading into tonight's series opener against the Red Sox. Both the...

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "Curtain and The Mysterious Affair at Styles"

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "Curtain and The Mysterious Affair at Styles"
Sometimes one needs to read just for the joy of it all. Such is the love for Agatha Christie's works that have survived multitudinous changes in societies worldwide. The 1975 publication of Christie's "Curtain and The Mysterious Affair at Styles" is a combination of a beginning and an end. "Styles" was the first book she published and "Curtain" was the last of her works involving the investigating hero of so many of her fiction: Hercule Poirot. The story goes that her first work was the...

Dillon Atkinson: Orioles need to be extremely active on summer trade market
The July 31 non-waiver trade deadline is two months away, and it will be the time of year where every baseball fan is refreshing his or her social media feed, waiting to see what blockbusters are going down around the league. The Orioles have made a few noteworthy moves prior to the non-waiver trade deadline in years past: They traded Eduardo Rodriguez to the Red Sox for Andrew Miller in 2014, sent Zach Davies to the Brewers for Gerado Parra in 2015, and dealt Jonah Heim to the Rays for Steve...

Luke Erickson: Looking at the start of short-season ball
Now is the time when the Nationals' minor league system starts to expand to its full complement of seven affiliates. It begins with the launch of the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League and the DSL Nationals this weekend. They'll be joined by the short-season Single-A Auburn Doubledays of the New York-Penn League on June 19 and the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League and GCL Nationals a week later. Coverage in the DSL and GCL is nearly non-existent because of the timing (late-morning to noon...

Marty Niland: Wounded warriors were part of 1945 contenders

Marty Niland: Wounded warriors were part of 1945 contenders
During every game at Nationals Park, the Nationals and their fans pay tribute to members of the United States military who have recently returned from combat, some who were wounded in the line of duty. The fans seemed especially appreciative of World War II veterans in Sunday's pregame Memorial Day Tribute, giving them a rousing welcome. Imagine then, a Washington team where wounded service members were not only honored, but were an actual part of a ballclub that contended for a pennant....

Zach Wilt: What's happened to the Orioles?

Zach Wilt: What's happened to the Orioles?
It's been a tough stretch for the Orioles. They have lost 10 of their last 13 games and gone from a team that had a half-game lead in the American League East on May 14 to being 2 1/2 games back of the Yankees today. The way they have lost these games has been difficult to stomach. Seven of their last 10 losses have been by one run and they have seen some significant leads vanish throughout this span. They had a 5-0 lead against the Royals on May 14 and lost 9-8. The O's were up 5-0 and then...
