Baltimore Orioles @ Washington Nationals | Exhibition | LIVE Play-by-Play, Commentary | 3/24/25

Hello folks. Welcome to the second season of the BirdWatcher Channel!. This channel will feature the standard play-by-play for all games in the regular season and postseason, as well as any televised games during the spring.

Here we are…the final game that doesn’t really matter. But we are excited anyway. The Birds have packed up and headed north from Florida to make a stop today in our nation’s capital, as the Orioles play our beltway brothers, the Washington Nationals. Cade Povich was announced yesterday to have made the starting rotation, getting the Opening Day game at Camden Yards next Monday against the Red Sox, so this will be his final tune-up. Jake Irvin will start for the Nationals. We now know Gunnar Henderson will start the season on the IL, but it appears he may only miss the opeing series in Toronto and perhaps will join Povich on the field in Baltimore for our home opener. The question left is, who is going to make the bench, as Ramon Urias will surely start alongside Jackson Holliday and Jordan Westburg on the infield, so a decision will have to be made whether Jorge Mateo is ready or if the team goes with one of two guys who have impressed this spring – Livan Soto and Vimael Machin. Otherwise, this team looks pretty much set now with Povich in the rotation and Albert Suarez the longman. Bryan Baker and Matt Bowman are probably contending for the final right-handed middle reliever role. Let’s have fun playing in a big league park and let’s stay injury-free. Enjoy the ballgame, folks!

BW here, and I am very much rested and ready for another season covering Orioles baseball. Hoping you have enjoyed the winter months and are ready for the great American pastime. Another chapter in Baltimore’s baseball history will be written. I cannot wait to document it
