COLUMN | Since the Orioles started taking off in 2023, there has been no player more central to their success than their All-Star shortstop. But, with his pronounced struggles to start the season, Gunnar Henderson is showing the perils of riding the emotions of every single play, and how bad ones can stack up.

Gunnar Henderson hit a capping homer in a 7-3 blistering of San Diego starter Griffin Canning, giving the Orioles their third straight win.

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.

The Orioles tied it up in the ninth but ultimately couldn’t overcome a late Randy Arozarena homer in the 6-5 loss.

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.

COLUMN | The Canadian right-hander was brought in to mash left-handed pitching. He hasn’t held up his end of the bargain.

“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.”

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.

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?

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.

COLUMN | State leaders have some decisions to make about the future of racing, and must finally be decisive about their role in the sport.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
