David Huzzard: The dilemma of picking MVP between Harper and Turner

David Huzzard: The dilemma of picking MVP between Harper and Turner
I have a bit of a dilemma. It isn't a bad dilemma. It is a situation Nationals fans would be agreeable to and one many would call me an overly bright-eyed optimist for predicting, and it is this: I can't decide who to pick for National League MVP, Bryce Harper or Trea Turner. From all indications, Harper is poised to have a season much like 2015 and Turner is ready to pick up where he left off in 2016. That makes it a hard choice. Is it the shortstop who is likely to hit 20 homers and steal...

Luke Erickson: The arc of a minor league season

Luke Erickson: The arc of a minor league season
Greetings from the "New Kid on the Block" at MASNsports.com! Well, except I'm not new, I'm not a kid, and my wife is the one from South Boston. What I am is a minor celebrity in the "Natmosphere," as I've been covering the Nationals' farm system for eight seasons at NationalsProspects.com, with the help of some volunteers and some gratuitous use of bulldogs. Tomorrow is opening day for Washington's four full-season affiliates - low Single-A Hagerstown, high Single-A Potomac, Double-A...

Dillon Atkinson: Orioles have tough decisions to make with pitching additions looming

Dillon Atkinson: Orioles have tough decisions to make with pitching additions looming
As many fans have already noticed, the Orioles have gone with an odd roster to start the 2017 season. In most years, the Birds roll with five starting pitchers, seven relief pitchers and 13 hitters. This year, the roster was announced, and it wasn't a familiar look: three starting pitchers, eight relievers and 14 hitters. The club was able to do this because they don't need to add the other two starting pitchers until April 9 and April 15, respectively. Manager Buck Showalter and executive...

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "The Way of the Writer"

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "The Way of the Writer"
At the urging of editor Pete Kerzel and videographer Olivia Witherite of MASNsports.com, who for reasons only they can explain wished to be part of another season of this column, here we meet again. As in past seasons, a reminder that this is not a book review space. The concept is a column on books I have read and enjoyed, most while traversing the skies of baseball, with the hope you might enjoy them, as well. Reading matters for one's growth and for the growth of mankind. As Charles Johnson...

Andrew Stetka: Anticipation for new season brings new expectations

Andrew Stetka: Anticipation for new season brings new expectations
There's something different in the air as the Orioles start a new baseball season. It's not the smell of fresh cut grass or Boog's BBQ; those are the mainstays in Birdland. It's not even all that obvious to many. It's something that has happened over time, slowly but surely. There's an atmosphere that's been created by the current Orioles regime of expectation, and it's one that fans are hanging on to entering 2017. Being a writer for EutawStreetReport.com, I'm familiar with the pulse...

Marty Niland: Three keys to success for the Nationals in 2017

Marty Niland: Three keys to success for the Nationals in 2017
Washington sports fans are a demanding lot. We're not satisfied with merely winning. We are disappointed if our teams don't improve. We're not entitled like New Yorkers, who expect to contend for a championship every year. But neither do we feel cursed, like Cubs fans before their team broke its 107-year record of futility last October. This is city where few living souls can remember its only World Series title, and folks have seen six presidential inaugurations since its last championship...

John P. Angelos discusses Sarasota, future of MLB with WBAL Radio's Brett Hollander
SARASOTA, Fla. - With spring training kicking off, Orioles executive vice president and MASN president John P. Angelos took some time to sit down with WBAL Radio's Brett Hollander and preview the 2017 season. While the O's full squad has reported to Sarasota, they'll fly north in less than two months for opening day, looking for their sixth straight season of at least .500 ball. Although the players and coaches will head back to Baltimore after spring, make no mistake: the Orioles have a...

Camden Yards once again welcomed millions of fans during the 2016 season.

It was another season to remember at the ballpark that changed baseball, with the Birds notching...

Marty Niland: Lobaton's homer was no October surprise to Baker
The National League Division Series between the Nationals and Dodgers may be knotted at one game apiece, bit when it comes to drama and momentum, the Nats are clearly ahead after Sunday's 5-2 victory And while fans are rightly cheering backup catcher Jose Lobaton as the unlikely hero the team needed to even the series, let's not overlook one clear advantage the Nats have in this series that made his momentous fourth-inning swing possible: manager Dusty Baker. It's easy to criticize a...

Blue Jays fan praises Adam Jones for inspiring social change

Blue Jays fan praises Adam Jones for inspiring social change
Beyond the sting of the Orioles' loss at Rogers Centre, O's fans were angered at an on-field incident that put left fielder Hyun Soo Kim in danger while fielding a fly ball. A fan in attendance threw a full beer at the outfielder, which led to All-Star center fielder Adam Jones exchanging choice words in defense of his teammate. "First and foremost that's about as pathetic as it gets between the lines," Jones told reporters in Toronto. "You don't do that. I don't care how passionate you...
