BALTIMORE, MD - JULY 12:  Manager Brandon Hyde #18 of the Baltimore Orioles throws a helmet after Heston Kjerstad #13 of the Baltimore Orioles was hit by a ball in the ninth inning during a baseball game between the New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles at the Oriole Park at Camden Yards on July 12, 2024 in Baltimore, Maryland.

The Yankees have been bullies. So why haven’t the Orioles responded?
New York has called Baltimore's integrity into question while going after its batters. What else will it take for the slumping Orioles to play with fire?

Nevada judge dismisses assault charges against boxing trainer Calvin Ford
Gervonta Davis’ trainer had assault charges dismissed after witnesses failed to appear Tuesday in a Las Vegas court.
Baltimore Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg (11) throws to first base during game three of a series against the Minnesota Twins at Camden Yards on April 17, 2024. The Orioles won Wednesday, 4-2, to sweep the series against the Twins.
Voters got the MLB All-Star starters right. Players and league officials snubbed the Orioles.
Even though a whole handful of Orioles were runners-up in the fan vote, players and the commissioner's office whiffed on the reserve selections. Jordan Westburg and Craig Kimbrel should be especially aggrieved.

The Baltimore Orioles won their first game of the season, 11-3, against the Angels.
Get to know Michael Arougheti. He may control the Orioles one day.
Little was known about the 51-year-old New Yorker when he joined the ownership group, but a deep love of baseball has him positioned as the control person on deck.

A McDonogh senior is racing her idols at the US Olympic trials
Elise Cooper is 17 and a rising senior at McDonogh who will be competing against the likes of Sha'Carri Richardson and Gabby Thomas for an Olympic spot in the 200 meters Thursday in Oregon.
Orioles general manager Mike Elias made a commitment to going after a World Series title in 2024 when he traded for ace pitcher Corbin Burnes before the season started.
The Orioles don’t need to decide whether to go all in on trades. They already decided in February.
If this is going to be the only year of Corbin Burnes in an Orioles uniform, Mike Elias has no choice. It's time to give up prospects and chase a World Series.
Joey Ortiz, #3 of the Milwaukee Brewers, has Gatorade dumped on him by Willy Adames, #27, after a 3-1 win over the Cincinnati Reds.
No, the Orioles didn’t ‘mess up’ with Joey Ortiz. They did right by him while helping themselves.
The Brewers’ Bryse Wilson suggested that the Orioles didn’t make the right call to trade Joey Ortiz, referring to him as a “generational player.” Fortunately for Baltimore, there’s a lot of those lying around.
Orioles pitcher Kyle Bradish went on the injured list Saturday after leaving Friday night's start early.
The Orioles played a midseason classic, but Kyle Bradish’s injury is a gut punch
The Orioles-Phillies series opener was everything we hope baseball can be. But starter Kyle Bradish's uncertain future with a bothersome elbow casts a pall on an electric game and on everything the Orioles hope to achieve this season.
Kevin Plank, founder and CEO of Under Armour, speaks at the Maryland Impact Conference last year. His company renewed its sponsorship deal with his alma mater, the University of Maryland.
Under Armour, Maryland athletics renew partnership through 2036 as both navigate changing landscapes
A key innovation of the renewed deal is an NIL Brand Ambassador Program. Under Armour will be able to pay students directly for promoting the brand on social media.

Albert Suárez pitches another gem, helping the Orioles win fifth straight
The 34-year-old Venezuelan has another scoreless start for the Orioles, an unlikely reliable performer for a pitching staff that has dealt with plenty of injuries.
Head coach Christie Sides and Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever celebrate after a 85-83 victory against the Washington Mystics at Capital One Arena on June 07, 2024 in Washington, DC.
As debates rage around her, Caitlin Clark is putting in the work
The 22-year-old rookie has brought excitement to the WNBA, but also outsized and uninformed debates. In the eye of the storm, Clark is simply trying to survive and grow her game amid the attention she has brought to the league.
Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese, pictured in a game last week, had 16 points and 11 rebounds Thursday night in a win at Washington.
For a night, Baltimore native Angel Reese relishes a stage to herself
The Randallstown native often seems defined by her relationship to Caitlin Clark. But in her WNBA homecoming game she found freedom.

Angel Reese wears Maryland flag-themed sneakers for game in D.C.
“Just being able to rep where I’m from is something I take pride in,” Reese said.
Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever must prove herself in the WNBA just as rookies do in men’s sports.
Do guys not know how to talk about sports? When it comes to the WNBA, too many men sound dumb.
A uniquely off-putting discourse about Caitlin Clark's place in the WNBA reveals more about new viewers than the league itself.
Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias speaks with other members of the front office during a spring training session at Ed Smith Stadium.
The Orioles’ trade for Corbin Burnes has worked out well. They should swing big again.
After crushing injury news for John Means and Tyler Wells, Baltimore’s front office must reckon with bolstering their starting rotation. Their deal for the Cy Young-winner should be a guide for how ambitious they should be.
Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker Joe Evans (48) runs a drill during practice at the Under Armour Performance Center in Owings Mills on May 22, 2024.
Ending NFL OTAs could be a win-win for veteran players and coaches
Organized team activities in May and June are a compromise that don’t seem to work perfectly for coaches or veteran players. Getting rid of them altogether, in favor of a longer training camp, might be a better solution.

Amid injuries, the Orioles’ starting rotation continues to find ways to deliver
Among the top five teams in starter ERA, only the Orioles have had eight different pitchers start at least three games — and all but two of the starters have a sub-4 ERA.

In Bill Walton, college sports lost its unique voice and true believer
Bill Walton's psychedelic wackiness was one of a kind, but so was his generous heart and dedication to the highest ideals of sports. The NCAA was better for having him, even if it never lived up to what he believed it could be.
Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken (center) had a successful first year in the job — before the team reached the AFC championship game.
Todd Monken built a great Ravens offense, but AFC championship disappointment looms over his achievements
Living in a pressure cooker might just be a Baltimore offensive coordinator’s lot in life.
