One of the Toronto Blue Jays’ brightest young players left with an injury on Monday. Centrefielder Brett Bateman suffered an injury to his left leg while diving to make a catch in the second inning against the Baltimore Orioles. Bateman’s left leg appeared to dig into the dirt as he dove for the ball and he immediately collapsed to the field in pain. He was able to walk off the field under his own power but with a visible limp. Manager John Schneider helped Bateman walk down the dugout stairs....
Back in April, Jeremiah Jackson hit a foul ball into the Orioles’ dugout that broke the jaw of manager Craig Albernaz. The Orioles would go on to win that game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on a grand slam by Jackson. As much as he was hurting, Albernaz returned to the dugout to congratulate Jackson and […]
BALTIMORE — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was out of the lineup Monday night as the Blue Jays opened their series against the Orioles, clinging to their fading postseason chances. Guerrero was removed from Sunday’s finale against the Rangers with left lower back tightness, something that flared up when he stretched to make a play at first base a couple of days prior. It hadn’t improved much by the time the Blue Jays got to Baltimore. Carlos Delgado Short-Sleeved Retro Windbreaker Giveaway is Sept. 25!...
O’s are 5 games out of a playoff spot with six to play
Tonight’s game is already listed as delayed even though it isn’t to start for another 45 minutes (as I type this). I like how they say it: “Tonight’s game will start in delay”. They will wait as long as they can before calling the game. When it does start, it will be Trey Yesavage will […]
Update: The Orioles announced that tonight’s game will start in a delay. The team said it would announce updates as they become available. The Orioles postseason hopes have all but vanished, but they’ll still play the remainder of their schedule. Nobody can blame you if you’ve checked out on this disappointing season. But if you’re […]
With just a few days left in the regular season, the last thing anyone wants is a rainout.
The Toronto Blue Jays and their ace appear to have dodged a bullet. Dylan Cease told reporters on Monday that he will not need surgery for the right shoulder fatigue he’s experiencing, but remains in “limbo” on the next steps. Cease flew from Texas to Toronto on Saturday for an MRI on his shoulder. The 30-year-old right-hander told manager John Schneider that he had been experiencing “fatigue, not pain” for a few weeks. It was decided that he would miss his next start against the Orioles due t...
BALTIMORE—José Barrero is in the Orioles’ lineup at second base for Monday night’s game. Barrero will be the 60th player used by the team. Barrero is with the Orioles because two players, Blaze Alexander and Jackson Holliday, are on the 10-day injured list. Alexander, who became the father of a baby girl on Thursday, is […]
The Toronto Blue Jays will be without their struggling first baseman on Monday. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is not in the lineup for Game 1 of the Blue Jays’ three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles after exiting their game on Sunday with lower back tightness. Guerrero was 1-for-2 with a single before being removed in the fourth inning against the Texas Rangers. Rookie Sean Keys will play first and bat fifth in Guerrero’s absence against the Orioles. Keys has two home runs and a .644 OPS over...
Tonight the Jays start their second-to-last series of the season. Six games remain, with a mathematical chance of making the playoffs, but math occasionally lies. But a series sweep would make things a little more interesting. Anyway, they have three games in Baltimore: Trey’s last rehab start wasn’t exactly something to build our confidence, but […]
They win the Jim Palmer and Brooks Robinson Awards
After sweeping the Mets early last week, the Orioles returned to Baltimore with a clear goal: win their series against the MLB-best Brewers and keep themselves in the playoff race. Instead, Milwaukee won a back-and-forth, extra-inning affair in Game 1 and proceeded to shut out the Orioles over the next 18 innings to sweep Baltimore […]
Two big things happened in Birdland over the weekend. They got swept by the Brewers and finally buried their wild card chances for the season. The other, more long-term thing that happened is Mike Elias was going around sounding pretty sure that he’s not about to be fired in a week, and he said specifically […]
Mathematically, the Orioles’ playoff chances will remain alive for another couple of days, at least. Realistically, the 2026 season will soon be ending in supreme disappointment. If Mike Elias is to be believed, the planning for 2027 has already started. Elias addressed the media over the weekend. Among the topics were his expectations for leadership […]

The Milwaukee Brewers set a franchise record last year by going 97-65. Not only did they finish with the best record in baseball, but they also had more wins than any other team in the history of the organization. Now, a year later, they are even better. With their 3-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles [...]
Hello, friends. The Orioles are diving into an unfilled pool as the 2026 season moves towards its end. They really had a chance as this month began. It’s important not to lose sight of that. It really happened. They held a wild card spot as the calendars turned to September. Very little has gone right […]

BALTIMORE—A long day for Baltimore sports fans ended more than nine hours after it started with losses by both the Ravens and the Orioles. The Orioles’ season, which ends next Sunday in disappointment, had a few interesting story lines. There was the first Baltimore appearance by the fastest pitcher in baseball, the Milwaukee Brewers’ Jacob […]
Question: My pick for MVP is the Polar Bear and Unsung Hero is Coly Mayo. What do you think about these men receiving the honors? From: Mark Sprucebank Answer: Mark, I assume you mean the Most Valuable Oriole award and not the American League’s Most Valuable Player. I think Pete Alonso will get some down […]
The Milwaukee Brewers are finishing the 2026 MLB regular season on a strong note, as they completed a three-game sweep against the Baltimore Orioles over the weekend with a 3-0 victory. This latest victory improved their record to 98-58 on the season, and even though they’ve already locked up the NL Central title, they need […]
The post Brewers set incredible new franchise record after Orioles sweep appeared first on ClutchPoints .
BALTIMORE — Entering the weekend, the Orioles knew they needed to win as many games as possible against the MLB-best Brewers to improve their postseason odds and, essentially, to keep their 2026 season alive. It was a tall task, but one Baltimore thought it could handle. Instead, the O’s have moved dangerously close to elimination. The Orioles got swept in the three-game series, taking a 3-0 loss in Sunday night’s finale vs. Milwaukee at Camden Yards. The offense went quiet for Baltimore, whic...
Another pitiful showing from the Orioles offense wasted an impressive Brandon Young start, and likely put the final nail in their 2026 coffin, as the O’s lost 3-0 to the Brewers on Sunday night in Baltimore. The Orioles bats have now been shut out for 19 consecutive innings. That streak began in the 10th inning […]
For the first time since 2023, the Brewers have pitched back-to-back shutouts as they completed a sweep of the Orioles and reached a franchise-record 98 wins with a 3-0 victory Sunday night. Orioles starter Brandon Young dominated in the first, setting Jackson Chourio, Brice Turang, and William Contreras down in order with three strikeouts. Jacob […]
