Latest news and updates about the Orioles
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides at Nashville Sounds (Ppd.—Rain) The series opener between the Tides and Sounds was rained out on Tuesday. Norfolk and Memphis will play a make-up doubleheader on Thursday. Double-A: Chesapeake Baysox 11, Erie SeaWolves 3 Three Baysox players launched home runs as Chesapeake took an early lead and never looked back in their […]
Dylan Coleman made his season debut with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on April 24th against the Rochester Red Wings at PNC Field in northeastern Pennsylvania. It was more than a debut, however — it was also a comeback. The 29-year-old relief pitcher stepped away from the game after being released early last season by the Baltimore […]
Good morning Birdland, That was the sort of win this team was built to pull off. Shane Baz provided his best start as an Oriole, earning his first win in the process. Gunnar Henderson set the table, stole a base, and scored twice. Adley Rutschman, Pete Alonso, and Samuel Basallo combined for five hits and […]
Tonight marked the third series in a row in which the O’s have faced a last-place team. Are the Orioles a good team? We’re not sure. But right now, Houston has the worst record in the American League and is down a whole outfield, a shortstop, practically an entire bullpen… Surely, given the depleted […]
Tonight begins the third series in a row in which the O’s face a team currently sitting in last place in its division. It’s unusual to find the Astros resembling that remark, as they’ve been consistently good for the better part of a decade, making the playoffs eight times in the last ten years. The […]
The Houston Astros (11-18) begin a 6-game road trip tonight with the first game of a 3-game series against the Baltimore Orioles (13-15) at Camden Yards. RHP Kai-Wei Teng (1-1, 2.16 ERA) will make his first start and 12th appearance of the season as he takes on Orioles starter RHP Shane Baz (0-2, 5.08 ERA). […]
For a third series in a row, the Orioles come up against a team that is currently in last place in its division. This is a surprising statement to make for this next opponent, the Astros, who have consistently been pretty good over the last decade. It is early to give up on them and […]
After Friday night’s record-setting win over the Red Sox, Birdland should have been feeling good about the O’s winning their first AL East series of the season. After all, Baltimore went into the weekend with ace Trevor Rogers taking the ball Saturday and former top-5 Cy Young finisher Kyle Bradish pitching the series finale. Perfect […]
It’s Tuesday morning on Camden Chat, which means it’s time for our usual recap of the good, the bad, and the ugly from the Orioles’ minor league system during the past week. Triple-A Norfolk Tides Welcome to the organization, Christian Encarnacion-Strand. The 26-year-old, a former top Reds prospect, has done nothing but rake since the […]
Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! Did you enjoy the off day? After two losses to the Red Sox, including one absolute beatdown, it was nice to get away from baseball for a day. After losing the series to the last-place Red Sox, the Orioles welcome the last-place Astros to town for a three-game series starting tonight. […]
The Orioles have gone 3-3 over the last week. You might have been hoping for more since they were playing two last place teams in this time, and there was the extra factor of the Red Sox firing their manager mid-series. Yet it was the Orioles who got embarrassed in the game before Boston chucked […]
Two years ago, Colton Cowser nearly won AL Rookie of the Year. Last year, he battled through multiple injuries and saw his production decline dramatically. And this year, Orioles President of Baseball Operations Mike Elias is being asked questions about whether or not the former fifth overall pick could be demoted to Triple-A soon. Elias […]
Triple-A: Memphis Redbirds (STL) 14, Norfolk Tides 4 A rough way to close out the series at Harbor Park. The story of the afternoon was a scary moment in the third inning when starter Trey Gibson took a comebacker off his left leg and had to exit the game. He’d allowed five runs (four unearned) […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. What if I told you that one team at Camden Yards this weekend dropped two out of three games and lost one of them by 16 runs…and it wasn’t the team that fired their manager and half their coaching staff in the middle of the series? Such is life for the […]
A weird weekend of baseball ended in a frustratingly conventional way. Kyle Bradish had an uneven day on the mound, Grant Wolfram struggled out of the bullpen, and the Orioles bats lacked punch in a 5-3 loss on Sunday afternoon in Baltimore. This was a laborious start for Bradish. He made it through five innings, […]
It’s been a weird weekend at Camden Yards. Neither of the games have been close, and the Red Sox have fired half of their coaching staff. Saying it that plainly would make you think the Orioles have outclassed the Red Sox all series. But that wouldn’t be true. Sure, the O’s looked amazing in the […]
Saturday saw the Yankees extend their win streak as they picked up another fairly comfortable win over the Astros. Trent Grisham, José Caballero, and Austin Wells all homered as the Yankees picked up the win to take their eighth consecutive game. The win streak has seen the Yankees vault towards the top of the standings […]
Hello, friends. What a stinker yesterday, huh? These Orioles are just not yet prepared to let us feel good about them for too long. Every time they get what feels like a big win or maybe even two, they turn back around and do something like they did on Saturday, getting completely blasted by a […]
Some days you’re the windshield and some days you’re the bug. The next day after putting a big number up against Boston, the Orioles were on the receiving end of an ugly beatdown. By the time the dust settled, the O’s fell back below .500 with a 17-1 demolition at the hands of their last […]
The Orioles hit so many home runs last night that they put up a message on the video board that there were no more fireworks to be had. This turned out to not be the case in the most literal sense, as the small little post-victory burst of fireworks still went off. It was fun, […]
I think 20 hits and six home runs against says it all. Thank you, next. Studs Wilyer Abreu (2-for-4, 2 runs, 1 RBI) You go down 4-0 after a single frame, what would you hope happens? A home run in the top of the 2nd could have been just what this team needed to turn […]
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 1, Memphis Redbirds (Cardinals) 0 — 10 inn. Runs were hard to come by in this one, as nobody scored until the Tides walked it off in the bottom of the 10th. Christian Encarnacion-Strand did the honors with a bases-loaded single to right to drive in Maikol Hernández and send the Tides […]
Good morning Birdland, That felt good! We have been waiting for this Orioles offense, which is loaded with potential, to finally break out and show us their power. They did exactly that on Friday night, blasting six home runs as part of a 10-3 dismantling of the visiting Red Sox. It could not have gone […]
The Orioles’ offense had been looking for a “get right game” all season; they finally found it Friday night agains the Red Sox, as they launched six long balls and collected 20 hits in a 10-3 win over the Red Sox. The O’s had struggled all season to get off to hot starts, but you […]
It is Friday night. The Orioles have demolished the Red Sox by a 10-3 score, a beatdown so thorough that they literally ran out of in-game pyrotechnics at Oriole Park at Camden Yards because the O’s hit so many home runs. Gunnar Henderson led off the O’s hitting in the game with a homer, Adley […]
