I'm a writer living in New York with my wife, son and two crazy cats. I went to my first baseball game at the age of four and have been a fan since.

Craig Gentry Will Play Against The Twins on Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Craig Gentry (hamstring) will finally play in a spring training game on Tuesday. He's been held back by a balky hamstring, but he seems to be in better condition now. Gentry is a bit behind in the competition for an extra outfield slot, but there's still some time for him to be able […]


Tim Beckham Blasts Second Homer of Spring On Sunday

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Tim Beckham seems fairly comfortable manning the hot corner. He went 2-for-4 on Sunday with two RBI. One of them came on a solo homer and the other on a run-scoring single. The blast was his second of the 2018 Grapefruit League. O's fans have to hope that he's going to continue to show […]


Ozzie Albies Has Great Day At Plate For Braves

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies wants to lock down the job before the team breaks camp. He helped his cause on Sunday, going 2-for-3 with a run. Albies is now hitting .400 and it looks like it would take a total collapse for him to not be in Atlanta when the season starts.


Mike Foltynewicz Continues Strong Spring With Three Scoreless Innings

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz had three scoreless innings on Sunday. He struck out one and walked no one while allowing only one hit. Admittedly, it was against the Marlins, but he faced a lineup that had both Starlin Castro and Justin Bour in it, neither of them slouches with the bat. Keep an […]


Gabriel Ynoa Gets Rocked And Sees Fifth Starter Chances Diminish

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Gabriel Ynoa did not have a good day on Sunday. He gave up two homers and six runs in two innings. Ynoa had hoped to make the team as a fifth starter, but with Miguel Castro, Mike Wright and Nestor Cortes all in the mix, Ynoa's bad outing could bounce him. He'd have […]


Josh Bailey Records Assist No. 48 As Isles Fall In Overtime

New York Islanders right winger Josh Bailey assisted on defenseman Brandon Davidson's 19th goal in the first period. Ultimately, New York fell 3-2 to Pittsburgh in overtime. It was assist No. 48 for Bailey, who remains in striking distance for the league lead in that category. He remains nine behind Philadelphia's Jakub Voracek. If you […]


Anders Lee Scores Goal No. 31 In Overtime Loss To Penguins

New York Islanders left winger Anders Lee briefly put the Isles ahead in the second period of Saturday's overtime loss to Pittsburgh when he netted goal No. 31 of the season on a wrist shot. That was in part thanks to an assist from center John Tavares. Lee now has 50 points on the season. […]


Nick Markakis Continues Hot Spring With Two Hits On Saturday

Right now, Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis is so hot this Spring that his teammates probably have to douse him with buckets just to be able to sit next to him. He went 2-for-2 with an RBI to raise his batting average to .714. Yes, this is Spring Training and it's not even 10-at-bats. Still, […]


Kevin Gausman Hurls Three No-Hit Innings Vs. Phillies

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kevin Gausman, who avoided serious injury in his previous start, went three innings on Saturday against Philadelphia. He looked like the pitcher that many in the organization hope he can be, not allowing a hit or a walk and striking out five. Let's hope he keeps building on that.


Julio Teheran Throws Three Scoreless Innings Versus Cardinals

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Julio Teheran, who is looking to start off strong to wipe out the memories of a terrible 2017 season, is doing just that so far. He went three innings against St. Louis, striking out three and walking one while allowing one hit. He's yet to allow a run this Spring.


Danny Valencia Still Sees Himself As A Major Leaguer

Third baseman Danny Valencia, who just signed a minor league deal with the Baltimore Orioles, said he won't accept being sent down to the minors after spring training. He wants to make the team and he said that he's been productive while in the bigs. He may get that chance should first baseman Chris Davis find […]


Chris Davis Getting MRI on Forearm

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis will be getting an MRI on his troublesome forearm. This is not a welcome development for him and might be an indicator of a more serious injury than first thought. We'll let you know as soon as the results come in.


Dylan Bundy Has Another Rough Spring Outing on Friday

It was another ugly day for Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dylan Bundy. He gave up five runs on seven hits over the course of his 2 1/3 innings. He didn't walk or strike out anyone. That's 10 runs in four innings, which means a 20.77 ERA. Good thing it's spring training, huh? Don't worry, yet. A […]


Jacoby Ellsbury A Late Scratch Against Braves

New York Yankees outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury was scratched from Friday's game against the Braves due to tightness in his right side. Estevan Florial took his spot in center field. Ellsbury missed 50 games last year after being fairly durable for most of his time in New York, save for his 111-game season in '15. He's […]


Danny Valencia Signs Minors Deal With Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles signed free-agent third baseman Danny Valencia to a minor league deal. It'll become official when he passes a physical on Saturday. Valencia played for the Orioles once before, in 2013. He'll provide some depth at third and the outfield should there be any injuries. He's not a fantasy star by any stretch […]


Brad Brach Will Pitch For First Time On Saturday

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Brad Brach will see game action for the first time this Spring when Baltimore goes up against the Phillies. Brach is holding down the fort at the closer position until Zach Britton returns from his Achilles injury.


Miguel Castro Throws Two Innings in B Game

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Miguel Castro (knees) went two innings in Friday's "B" game against the Pirates. According to Roch Kubatko of MASN, Castro threw 37 pitches, 26 of them for strikes. Castro gave up a run on two hits while walking one and striking out three. He said that his troublesome knees and his back […]


Ronald Acuna Has Big Day, But Braves Should Stay Cautious

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna went 2-for-3 and stole a base on Thursday. So far, he's hitting .313. The 20-year-old may make the team think hard about bringing him with them when the regular season starts, but there's always the risk that rushing him too fast may put him in a hole much like the […]


Chris Davis Will Rest on Friday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (forearm) will either serve as the designated hitter or not play in the spring game Friday. It's a measure to try to let the tightness in his forearm go away. The team doesn't seem overly concerned about it now. We'll keep monitoring the situation.


Andrew Cashner Throws Two-Inning Sim Game

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Andrew Cashner, who is competing for a starting rotation spot, threw a two-inning simulated game. Orioles regulars like outfielder Mark Trumbo and shortstop Tim Beckham, along with outfielder Craig Gentry, stepped into the box against him. According to Eduardo A. Encina of The Baltimore Sun, he had good stuff and the ball moved well, […]


Austin Hays To Be Shut Down For Several Days After Injection

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays will stop all baseball activities for a few days after getting a shot for his sore lat. He may swing a bat on Saturday and resume other activities after Monday's off day. He says it only bothers him when he's throwing, not hitting.


Chris Davis Hits Homer In Loss While Battling Forearm Tightness

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (forearm) was supposed to play first base in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals. He wound up being the designated hitter while outfielder Mark Trumbo took his spot at first. Davis, who hit a three-run homer in the loss, explained after the game that he was experiencing forearm tightness, possibly because of […]


Manny Machado Blasts Grand Slam In Loss

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado has had a hot Spring so far, and it got hotter with him blasting a grand slam in the third inning of Wednesday's game. He was out of the game by the time the bullpen coughed up an eight-run lead, but he has to feel good about this start. Of course, […]


Ronald Acuna Drives In Two Runs In Loss

There's one thing to remember about Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna: He's young. Really young. He's only 20 and he's not even turning 21 until December. He still wants to make the team, though the front office might decide he needs some more seasoning in the minors. Acuna made a case for himself Wednesday, driving […]


Brandon McCarthy Goes Three Strong Innings Against Mets

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Brandon McCarthy had a good first showing of the Spring. He threw three scoreless innings against the New York Mets, walking one and striking out three. The right-hander is slated to be the No. 3 starter behind Julio Teheran and Mike Foltynewicz. He's hoping for another sub-4.00 ERA this year, which […]


Craig Gentry Being Held Out Until Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Craig Gentry is going to be held out until after the team's off day on Monday as a precaution with his hamstring. It's a smart move for the team even though Gentry has said that he's feeling much better. Even though he's a fourth outfielder, losing him for an extended time would […]


Miguel Castro Will Throw Two Innings On Friday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Miguel Castro, who had a brief setback with knee tendinitis, will throw two innings in a B game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He hopes to continue his progress toward possibly securing a rotation slot.


Chris Lee Will Miss At Least Four Weeks

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Chris Lee (oblique) also got his MRI results back, and they weren't as good as outfielder Austin Hays' were. Lee has an injured oblique, and he's going to be out for at least four weeks. He's not going to be breaking camp with the team.


Austin Hays Gets MRI Results; Won't Play Outfield For Several Days

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays got good news about his sore lat muscle on Wednesday. An MRI showed that he had inflammation in the area and he just needed rest. Hays won't play the outfield or throw for at least three days. It's a minor setback for him as he hopes to head north with […]


Dylan Bundy Slated To Start Friday Versus Pirates

According to Rich Dubroff of PressBoxOnline, Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dylan Bundy will take the mound on Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Chances are quite good that he'll lower his 22.50 Spring Training ERA. Even if he doesn't, don't worry - he's going to be the No. 2 starter behind Kevin Gausman.
