The latest from Kyle Goon
Gunnar Henderson hits 100th career homer as Orioles roll over Padres 7-3
Gunnar Henderson hit a capping homer in a 7-3 blistering of San Diego starter Griffin Canning, giving the Orioles their third straight win.
Kyle Goon: Has Tyler Loop moved on from Pittsburgh? The Ravens need to test him with competition.
COLUMN | Tyler Loop may feel emotionally healed from a dramatic failure in Pittsburgh, but that’s not enough reassurance for the Ravens to make him the unquestioned starter.
Orioles stage late rally against Mariners but fall short in extras for fourth straight loss
The Orioles tied it up in the ninth but ultimately couldn’t overcome a late Randy Arozarena homer in the 6-5 loss.
Kyle Goon: Elijah Sarratt’s unlikely road to the Ravens started at Baltimore’s Saint Frances Academy
Saint Frances helped build the body Sarratt needed to eventually be an NFL receiver for the Baltimore Ravens. But to build his mental strength, the 23-year-old rookie lost a lot more than sweat.
Kyle Goon: What exactly does Tyler O’Neill do here? It’s time for the Orioles to move on.
COLUMN | The Canadian right-hander was brought in to mash left-handed pitching. He hasn’t held up his end of the bargain.
Ravens OTAs takeaways: Lamar’s new offense, fixing the pass rush and more from the coordinators
“He got the same mentality as us,” wide receiver Zay Flowers said of new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. “Like, he ain’t playing, but he a dog, though. You can just get that vibe from him.”
Kyle Goon: Tarps Off isn’t disrupting baseball fandom. It’s a new spin on an old rite of passage.
COLUMN | College- and high school-aged boys and men are taking off their shirts and creating a ruckus at MLB stadiums across the country. To them, it’s something new and exciting. To older fans, it feels more familiar than maybe we’d like to admit.
Kyle Goon: Colton Cowser seized his walk-off moments. The Orioles need him to seize his role.
COLUMN | The 26-year-old started the season as one of the Orioles’ most disappointing performers. Can a pair of walk-off homers be a launching pad?
Kyle Goon: The Orioles must restore their self-belief this homestand — if they have any left
COLUMN | Frustration is circulating in and around the clubhouse as the Orioles stumble through May. The longest homestand of the season against the Tigers, Rays and Blue Jays is the team’s last chance to restore its self-confidence.
Kyle Goon: There’s an obvious strategy to saving the Preakness that no one is talking about. Make it affordable.
COLUMN | Exclusive is not the right vibe for the Preakness.
Kyle Goon: It’s time for Maryland to go all in on horse racing — or get out of the business
COLUMN | State leaders have some decisions to make about the future of racing, and must finally be decisive about their role in the sport.
Kyle Goon: For Navy lacrosse, an overtime victory over Syracuse makes an unforgettable Mother’s Day
COLUMN | Ahead of the biggest game of her career, Alyssa Chung calmed her nerves the only way she knew how: by calling her mom. The pep talk helped the Severna Park native power Navy to an epic comeback over Syracuse in overtime in the NCAA women’s lacrosse tournament.
Kyle Goon: It’s not all Coby Mayo’s fault. The Orioles have set him up to fail.
COLUMN | Coby Mayo has been ineffective at third base for the second season in a row. At this point, the Orioles must share accountability for continuing to play him there.
Kyle Goon: Orioles fans have asked Mike Elias to take bold risks for years. Now it’s too late for one.
COLUMN | The Orioles have never gone all-in on winning, always holding something back even when taking a big swing. Now, after an awful start in the AL East, it might be too late for Mike Elias to save this team (and his job) with a daring roster move.
Kyle Goon: Orioles slugger Pete Alonso seeks a deeper connection to Baltimore. It’s not just for show.
COLUMN | He came from New York, but the Polar Bear might be an even better culture fit in Charm City. A look inside how Pete Alonso has tried to adapt to his new market, and how it has embraced him back.
Kyle Goon: Navy’s ‘2 knuckleheads from Pittsburgh’ are chasing their hometown dream
COLUMN | Eli Heidenreich and Alex Tecza were high school teammates for state title champion Mt. Lebanon, then helped elevate Navy football 21 wins in their final two seasons. Now, they have a chance to fulfill a crazy dream of playing for their hometown NFL team.
Kyle Goon: Ravens GM Eric DeCosta still has to tackle his toughest task — replacing Tyler Linderbaum
COLUMN | After a run on centers in the second round, the Ravens were left with unattractive options to replace their Pro Bowl center. It’s not a mistake to get out of the draft without picking one, but that leaves the front office with a huge challenge even after the NFL draft.
Kyle Goon: Vega Ioane or Rueben Bain? The Ravens made the only choice they could afford.
COLUMN | The Ravens' No. 14 selection of Vega Ioane may be great, but he'll forever be compared to Rueben Bain Jr., a Miami edge rusher the Ravens passed over. The decision to draft a guard over a pass rusher is, in large part, a reflection of how much Baltimore backed itself into a corner with its roster management.
Kyle Goon: Downtown Baltimore fight card showcases city’s working-class boxers
COLUMN | A fight night at the Hilton is a test of downtown Baltimore’s viability for hosting fights and a way to generate economic interest in a historic sport.
