Starting today, I have a new forum to do what I truly love doing — writing about the Orioles. After 2 1/2 seasons of success here, my friend Dan Connolly is off to a new challenge covering the Orioles, and I’ll be carrying on.
Some of you may know me, but I may be new to others. For the past seven years, I’ve been covering the Orioles for Comcast SportsNet’s website, and most recently for PressBoxonline.com. Before that, I assisted for nearly two decades for several outlets, principally The Capital in Annapolis and The Carroll County Times.
During the past two spring trainings, I’ve contributed to this site with regular postings.
Enough about me, let’s talk about what’s really important — the Orioles. The first half of the season has been challenging, and the final two-plus months of the season and perhaps the next few seasons could be just as challenging.
BaltimoreBaseball.com will continue to provide you with incisive daily coverage, and some of the others who’ve been helping Dan: Paul Folkemer, Jack Gibbons, Dean Jones and Adam Pohl — will continue.
I want to hear from you, and you can follow my posts here, on Twitter @RichDubroffMLB or on Facebook.
As we head into what seems certain to be the post-Machado era, let’s see together what the Orioles have in store for us.

Welcome Rich and look forward to swapping thoughts with you. You have big shoes to fill,but I think your feet are big enough lol.
Thank you, Orial. They're size 12 1/2.
Welcome Rich! The O’s are on a winning streak since you assumed control. Keep it going!
Actually, they're 0-0 since I came on. But, thanks for the good wishes.

Welcome aboard Rich! There will be no shortage of things to talk about. One thing I really like about this site are the writer's responses to commenters and keeping it civil and informative. Let's go!
Thank you, Gary. I am happy to respond to commenters, and I will always keep it civil. We'll try to keep you informed too.
Welcome aboard, Rich. Looking forward to reading more of your work here.
Thank you, JerseyosFan. What exit on the turnpike?
Welcome.
What I expect for the Orioles is what I expect every game every year. ....... play hard, never give up, runout all batted balls.
I don’t think that is asking too much.
I appreciate your faith, 54. No, I don't think it's a high bar.
Welcome, Rich. I’ll try to be nice.
Thank you, Mau. You've never been not nice.
Welcome Rich!
Thank you!
