Brian’s Take: The Week That Was
Brian's Take recaps 29 MSB opinion takes published during the week. These are the key conclusions from MSB's reporting, analysis and game coverage.
Orioles Waste Trevor Rogers’ Gem, Fall 1-0 to Brewers as Wild Card Hopes Fade
Trevor Rogers could not have done much more. Eight innings, three hits, one walk and 10 strikeouts against the best team in baseball should result in a victory far more often than a loss. Instead, one fly ball lost in the sun and one groundout were enough to beat him. The defensive mistake will understandably receive attention because it directly created Milwaukee’s run. Hinds should have caught Ortiz’s fly ball, and not having sunglasses available during a late-afternoon game became an avoidable detail with enormous consequences. However, blaming a 1-0 loss entirely on one defensive play would ignore Baltimore’s much larger problem. The Orioles had nine innings to score one run and could not do…
Félix Bautista Returns as Orioles Make Flurry of Late-Season Roster Moves
The Orioles have had plenty of frustrating injury news over the last several seasons, but Bautista's return is one of the better developments Baltimore could receive heading into the offseason. There is no reason to push him. The Orioles should use the remaining games to let Bautista get comfortable facing major league hitters again and, most importantly, finish the season healthy. A healthy Bautista changes the complexion of this bullpen. His combination of velocity, strikeouts and intimidation made him one of baseball's most dominant relievers before the injuries piled up. Baltimore cannot assume he will immediately return to that level, but getting him back on the mound now gives the organization a head start on…
Orioles Rally in Ninth, Fall to Brewers 6-5 in 10 Innings
This was a frustrating loss because the Orioles did many of the difficult things required to beat the best team in baseball. They answered Chourio's three-run homer with Alonso's three-run shot, received a strong night from Mayo and Henderson, got enough work from the bullpen to remain within striking distance and then fought back from a 5-3 deficit in the ninth. Baltimore showed plenty of fight. The problem was missed opportunities. Twelve hits should have been enough to produce more than five runs. Leaving 12 runners on base against a 96-win opponent made the margin for error almost nonexistent, and Milwaukee eventually capitalized. Baltimore still has games remaining, but the situation has become increasingly difficult….
Orioles Return Home With October Hopes Alive for Critical Series Against MLB-Best Brewers
This season has been frustrating enough that the Orioles being in a legitimate playoff race with nine games left is almost hard to believe. Baltimore has dealt with injuries, inconsistent starting pitching and stretches in which this team looked finished, yet the rest of the American League wild-card field left the door open and the Orioles finally started taking advantage. Sweeping the Mets was huge. Now Baltimore has to prove that surge was more than beating a struggling team. Milwaukee represents a dramatically tougher test. The Brewers are one of baseball's deepest and most complete clubs, and Baltimore will enter the series without Holliday, Bradish, Westburg, Robert and several other important pieces. The Orioles cannot…
Kyle Bradish diagnosed with sports hernia, surgery possible as questions remain about Orioles’ handling of starter
I have been saying for a while that something did not look right with Bradish and that the Orioles needed to seriously consider shutting him down. His performance was declining, the innings were accumulating and this was a pitcher coming off two consecutive seasons in which his workload was severely limited. Now we learn that Bradish had been dealing with an abdominal problem for a while and that the eventual diagnosis is a sports hernia. That does not mean anyone outside the organization could have diagnosed Bradish from watching him pitch. We could not. It also does not establish exactly when the sports hernia developed or when the Orioles' medical staff had enough information to…
Orioles crush Mets 7-1, complete sweep behind four-homer barrage
The Orioles could not have asked for a much better ending to their series in New York. Baltimore followed Tuesday night's emotional extra-inning victory with a convincing performance in which the result was practically decided after three innings. Four early home runs combined with Bassitt's excellent start allowed the Orioles to control the game from beginning to end. Encarnacion-Strand's performance was especially encouraging. Three extra-base hits, including a home run, showed exactly how much damage he can create when he is locked in at the plate. Add Basallo's continued power development and another Alonso homer, and Baltimore suddenly has several dangerous bats producing simultaneously. The difficult reality is that the Orioles still have significant work…
Orioles Rally Past Mets 7-5 in 11 Innings Behind Alonso Milestone, Mayo Inside-the-Park Homer
What a bizarre and memorable Orioles victory. Pete Alonso hitting career home run No. 300 at Citi Field against his former team would have been enough to make this game memorable by itself. Doing it in the ninth inning to save the Orioles from a loss — and then receiving a curtain call from Mets fans — made the moment even more remarkable. Then Coby Mayo somehow topped the drama two innings later. Mayo's three-run inside-the-park home run gave Baltimore the decisive advantage and provided another example of why his power can be such an important part of the Orioles' lineup moving forward. Baltimore only collected eight hits, but four of them left the yard…
Gunnar Henderson Delivers Late as Orioles Edge Mets, 2-1
This is exactly the type of game the Orioles have to win if they are going to make this final stretch interesting. Baltimore was not dominant offensively. Young struggled with his command, Alonso went hitless in his emotional return to New York, and the Orioles struck out 12 times. None of that mattered because Baltimore made the important plays when the game was on the line. Henderson delivered the biggest one. His eighth-inning homer was the swing Baltimore desperately needed after watching its offense struggle to solve New York's pitching staff for most of the night. Henderson has the ability to carry this lineup, and if the Orioles are going to make any kind of…
Orioles Head to Queens for Critical Three-Game Series Against Mets
This is the series Baltimore absolutely has to win. The Orioles have Milwaukee, Toronto and the Yankees waiting after they leave New York, so dropping a series to a 69-80 Mets team would put them in an almost impossible position. Two victories are necessary, and a sweep should be the goal. Bradish going on the injured list makes the situation even tougher. Baltimore has already spent much of the season trying to keep its pitching staff together, and now one of its established starters is unavailable for the entire remaining regular-season schedule. Young, Baz and Bassitt have to give the Orioles innings, because constantly asking the bullpen to cover four or five frames is not…
Orioles Waste Early Chances, Fall 8-1 to Blue Jays in Series Finale
This was one of those games where Baltimore can point directly to the first inning and wonder how different the afternoon might have been. Loading the bases with nobody out against a pitcher who needed 33 pitches to escape should produce at least one or two runs. Instead, the Orioles struck out three straight times and allowed Cease to settle into the game. The bigger problem is that the first inning was not an isolated failure. Baltimore went 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position and stranded 13, which is simply not good enough for a team still trying to stay alive in September. Toronto, meanwhile, took advantage of its opportunities with three straight homers in…
NFL Pick’em: Complete Sunday Preview and Predictions for Every Week 2 Game
Week 2 is where the NFL season begins producing more meaningful information. Week 1 can deceive us. One dominant performance does not necessarily make a team great, and one ugly loss does not automatically mean a season is headed in the wrong direction. Sunday should tell us much more. Baltimore has an opportunity to establish itself at 2-0 after scoring 41 points in its opener. Philadelphia gets a matchup that appears favorable in the trenches. San Francisco has an opportunity to test whether Miami's speed can overcome a physical defensive front. Washington and Dallas give us an early NFC East measuring stick, while Kansas City closes the night with another chance to demonstrate that Mahomes'…
Ravens place Ja’Kobi Lane on injured reserve, promote Chris Moore to 53-man roster
Losing Ja’Kobi Lane hurts because he looked ready to become much more than a developmental rookie. Lane earned his way into a legitimate role during training camp, and his combination of size, hands and red-zone potential gave Baltimore something different from the rest of its receiving corps. The good news is that successful surgery and the Ravens’ optimistic timetable give Lane an opportunity to return and still make a significant impact during his rookie season. Promoting Chris Moore is also the right move for Baltimore. Moore earned the roster spot with his performance Sunday, especially his 53-yard reception, and his experience becomes extremely valuable with Flowers also dealing with an injury. Baltimore does not need…
Ravens Add Wide Receiver Gage Larvadain, Release Kicker Jake Moody
These are two smart and understandable moves for the Ravens following Week 1. Adding Gage Larvadain gives Baltimore insurance at exactly the position where it suddenly needs it. Zay Flowers' injury does not currently appear to be a long-term concern, but hamstring injuries can be difficult to manage, particularly when Flowers already dealt with one during training camp. Ja'Kobi Lane's wrist injury creates an even greater need for another receiver because his absence could stretch beyond a single game. Larvadain also brings special-teams experience, which increases his chances of becoming useful beyond simply providing another body at practice. Baltimore has other receivers ahead of him, but injuries can change a depth chart quickly during an…
Capitals Open Preseason Sunday in Boston With Mix of Veterans, Newcomers and Prospects
This is exactly what a preseason opener should look like for the Capitals. Washington is bringing enough established players to make the game meaningful while giving several prospects and newcomers legitimate opportunities. Tuch and Jenner will understandably receive plenty of attention, but Hutson may be the player I am most interested in watching. Washington has significantly more depth than it has had in some recent seasons, and that makes it harder for a young player to force his way into the NHL lineup. Hutson has an opportunity Sunday to show that he belongs in the conversation. The abbreviated preseason also changes the equation. There is not much time for players to slowly work themselves into…
Capitals lock up Justin Sourdif with eight-year, $50.8 million extension
The Capitals have made another significant investment in their future, and the Sourdif contract may ultimately become one of the most important deals of Washington's transition into its next era. Eight years and $50.8 million is a major commitment for a player with only one full NHL season, but Sourdif showed enough during that season to explain why Washington did not want to wait. What stands out most is not simply his 35 points. Sourdif became noticeably more dangerous as the season progressed, producing 26 points over his final 40 games while Washington controlled five-on-five scoring with him on the ice. Combine that production with his ability to play center and wing, and the Capitals…
Capitals announce 2026 training camp roster as competition begins for revamped Washington lineup
This could be one of the most important Capitals training camps in years because Washington is no longer trying to squeeze one more season out of essentially the same veteran group. The roster is changing, and the transition toward Washington's next generation is clearly underway. Ovechkin remains the captain and the centerpiece of the franchise, but Leonard's massive extension says just as much about where this organization is headed. Add Kyrou, Jenner, Hutson, Cristall, Protas, Lakovic and the rest of Washington's prospect pipeline, and there is legitimate reason to be excited about the Capitals beyond Ovechkin's final NHL seasons. The Capitals also cannot treat 2026-27 simply as a development season. Missing the playoffs last year…
Capitals lock up Ryan Leonard with massive eight-year, $84 million extension
The Capitals made the right move here. An eight-year, $84 million contract sounds enormous for a 21-year-old who has played only one full NHL season, but waiting could have made Leonard considerably more expensive. Washington has watched enough to believe that the 20-goal rookie season was merely the beginning. Leonard has virtually everything the Capitals should want in a young cornerstone. He can score, plays physically, competes hard and already looks comfortable playing NHL hockey. Producing 45 points while averaging only 14:25 per game leaves plenty of room for his offensive numbers to increase as his role expands. There is obviously risk involved with projecting development, but the bigger mistake would have been allowing a…
2018 Stanley Cup Champion Alex Chiasson Joins Capitals as Full-Time Scout
This is exactly the type of move the Capitals should continue making. Alex Chiasson understands the organization, understands what it takes to make an NHL roster and, most importantly, knows firsthand what it takes to win a Stanley Cup in Washington. Not every great scout needs to have been a great NHL player. In some ways, Chiasson’s career makes him especially interesting for this position because he had to fight for jobs throughout his career and constantly adjust his game. He knows what separates a talented prospect from a player a coaching staff can actually trust in an NHL lineup. Seeing him already working directly with Lynden Lakovic on small details during rookie camp is…
Loyola Volleyball Falls to Colgate in Straight Sets
This was a difficult matchup for Loyola because Colgate controlled virtually every major statistical category. The Greyhounds had some productive individual moments, particularly from Crawford, Sanabia and Afful, but they could not sustain enough offense to challenge a Raiders team that was extremely efficient Saturday. The encouraging part was Loyola's willingness to continue competing in the third set despite falling behind two sets to none. Now the Greyhounds need to turn those stretches into longer runs and cut down on attack errors. Returning to Reitz Arena against Bucknell gives Loyola an opportunity to regroup and pursue its first Patriot League victory of the season.
Loyola Men’s Tennis Outlasts Morgan State, 4-3, to Open McClure Invitational
Loyola and Morgan State could hardly have played a more evenly matched singles competition. Each program won three matches, and Morgan State was particularly effective at Nos. 1, 3 and 4. The difference was Loyola's doubles performance. Winning all three doubles matches allowed the Greyhounds to enter singles competition with a point that ultimately proved decisive. The 7-6 victory by Hagen and Gill at No. 1 was particularly important because that match could easily have gone in Morgan State's direction. Moldenhauer also deserves recognition for winning in both formats. His 6-0, 6-3 singles victory was Loyola's most decisive result near the top of the lineup, and his doubles victory with Suarez helped establish the Greyhounds'…
Virginia Tech Hands Maryland First Loss, Holds Off Late Terps Rally for 35-26 Victory
Maryland showed something important in the fourth quarter Saturday night: this team did not quit. Falling behind 35-14 could have turned the game into a blowout, but Washington continued attacking and the defense finally began getting Virginia Tech off the field. The Terrapins scored 12 unanswered points and forced the Hokies to finish the game rather than simply coast through the fourth quarter. Washington was one of the biggest positives to come out of the loss. Throwing for 359 yards and three touchdowns without an interception against a Power Four opponent is impressive, particularly when Maryland could not establish its running game. Durr, Fleming and Webb also showed that Maryland has enough receiving talent to…
Morgan State Ends 17-Year Drought Against Towson With 41-26 Battle for Greater Baltimore Victory
The Battle for Greater Baltimore finally swung back toward Morgan State, and this was an important victory for a Bears program trying to establish itself under Damon Wilson. The final statistics show why football games cannot be judged solely by total yardage. Towson had more yards, more first downs and significantly more possession time. Morgan State had the plays that mattered most. The Bears turned an early turnover into only three Towson points, scored 21 unanswered points, blocked a field goal, hit a fourth-quarter trick-play touchdown and immediately answered a Towson touchdown with Jenkins' 95-yard kickoff return. That is how rivalry games are won. For Towson, Indorf's performance provides something positive to build around. Throwing…

Milford Mill Millers Boys Varsity Soccer Falls 3-5 to Chesapeake High School
Despite the loss, the Milford Mill Millers showed offensive capability by scoring three goals against a strong Chesapeake team. Keeping the game relatively close at 3-5 indicates potential for growth as the Millers continue their season and work to tighten their defense against high-scoring opponents. Source: Original report

Catonsville’s success also highlights the growth potential of their mixed badminton program in the coming months. Source: Original report
Nationals Outlast Cardinals 8-5 in 11 Innings Behind Four-Run Rally
Saturday night was not a clean victory for Washington, but it was another encouraging example of a young Nationals team finding a way to win. The four errors were a major problem and helped St. Louis erase what had been a 3-0 Washington lead. The Nationals also failed to protect leads in both the ninth and 10th innings. Those are areas that need to improve as Washington continues building toward 2027. What stands out, however, is how the Nationals responded each time something went wrong. Vivas answered in the 10th. After St. Louis tied it again, Washington immediately put four runs on the board in the 11th. Then, with the bases loaded and nobody out…
Abrams Makes History, Cavalli Dominates as Nationals Rout Cardinals 9-1
The Nationals may not be playing for a postseason berth, but Friday night's game offered exactly the type of performance Washington wants to see from a young roster late in the season. Abrams reaching the 30-30 club is a significant individual accomplishment. He has developed into one of the central pieces of Washington's lineup, and combining 30-home run power with 30-steal speed demonstrates the impact he can make in several different ways. Cavalli's performance may be equally important for the organization's long-term outlook. Washington committed to him with a multi-year extension Friday, and he responded by throwing five scoreless innings and recording his 200th strikeout of the season. A rotation built around a pitcher capable…
