Spearheaded by a fantastic effort from Will Warren, the Yankees took early command of their first regular-season matchup against the Orioles in 2026, ultimately winning it 7-2. Specifically on Warren, seeing the front-level starters dominating is all well and good, but the built-in expectations may work against the excitement of it in certain instances. Although […]
Entering May, believe it or not, the Yankees will be playing only their third series of the 2026 season against a divisional rival. The Baltimore Orioles roll into town fresh off a series win against the Houston Astros that felt more like a par than a birdie, given how the Houston season has trended—not to […]
Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ Probable pitchers: LHP Cade Povich (1-0. 2.19 ERA, 7 K) vs. RHP Will Warren (3-0, 2.59 ERA, 37 K) After hovering around .500 for much of the season’s first month, the Orioles travel to the Bronx looking to make a statement against the AL East leaders. Per Baltimore Sun beat reporter […]
The Bombers enjoyed a day off on Thursday, before kicking off a set with the Orioles at home this weekend. With an early slate of games taking up much of Thursday, there wasn’t much positive movement for the American League’s top teams. Between a split double header, grand slams and a tough Jays loss to […]
If you haven’t been paying much attention to non-Orioles baseball so far this year, I regret to inform you that the 2026 New York Yankees are a good team. Their 20 wins are the most in the American League. They have scored 153 runs, second-most in the AL. They have allowed 106, which is the […]
A few years ago, The Athletic ran a story asking whether the ’23 Orioles were lucky or good. The piece was an annoying attempt to gainsay the team’s 101-win season based on BABIP and expected ERA, things like that. Well, we certainly showed them. The ’23 Orioles got bounced from the playoffs immediately, and since […]
Despite a shutout loss to the Texas Rangers in the final game of a three-game set at the hands of former Yankees hurler Nathan Eovaldi, the Bombers walked away from Globe Life Field with a victory in the series. Overall, they went 7-2 on the road trip, sweeping Boston and nearly doing the same to […]
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 5, Nashville Sounds (Brewers) 2 —Game 1 F/7 The Orioles kept Sam Huff in the organization with a fresh minor league deal after he cleared waivers and elected free agency last week. The move ensured that Baltimore could turn to Huff if either Adley Rutschman or Samuel Basallo went down with an […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. If you were looking for a perfect six-hour encapsulation of the Orioles’ 2026 season so far, look no further than yesterday’s doubleheader against the Astros. The opener of the twin bill showcased how gloriously high the Birds’ potential can be when everything is clicking…and then the second game harshly reminded us […]
You could hardly get a better representation of the 2026 Orioles season than the doubleheader that they played against the Astros on Thursday. In one game, they swung the bats well and got some pretty good pitching and they blew out the Astros. Check out Paul Folkemer’s recap of the first game. That one was […]
It’s almost a shame the Orioles have another game of baseball to play today, because it’s going to be hard to top their game one performance. The O’s opened a doubleheader with an all-around fantastic win over the Astros, 10-3. Chris Bassitt posted his most impressive outing as an Oriole by a long shot, shutting […]
As a result of last night’s rainout, the Houston Astros (11-20) and Baltimore Orioles (15-15) will play a traditional doubleheader today at Camden Yards. Game Two: RHP Lance McCullers Jr. (1-2, 6.75 ERA) will make his 6th start of the season of the season as he takes on Orioles RHP Brandon Young (2-0, 2.53 ERA). […]
Are you ready for 6+ hours of Orioles/Astros action? Well, too bad. You’re getting it anyway. Last night’s rainout has set up the Orioles’ first doubleheader of the season. They’ll play their regularly scheduled 12:35 game followed by the makeup game about half an hour after the first one finishes. Last season the Orioles played […]
As a result of last night’s rainout, the Houston Astros (11-19) and Baltimore Orioles (14-15) will play a traditional doubleheader today at Camden Yards. Game One: RHP Peter Lambert (1-1, 3.27 ERA) will make his 3rd start of the season as he takes on Orioles RHP Chris Bassitt (1-2, 6.75 ERA). Today will be Lambert’s […]
Triple-A: Nashville Sounds (Brewers) 7, Norfolk Tides 4 It’s almost impressive that the Tides lineup managed to go 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position, largely squandering their nine hits and five walks. Jud Fabian drove in two of the runs with his sixth home run of the year. He also walked once and scored twice. […]
Hello, friends. It’s a two for the price of one kind of day for the Orioles today. When I was a younger person, these events were not to be missed. If your life leaves you free to get to Camden Yards today, I heartily recommend going. You can probably get a cheap ticket on the […]
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 […]
