Latest news and updates about the Orioles
In last week’s episode of the podcast, I remarked on the new Orioles slogan for 2026, fly different, and how important it is that the O’s actually do things differently compared to last season. Since then, they’ve gone 1-5 and things are feeling all too familiar from what we’ve now been seeing since around the […]
The first few series of this season were supposed to be the easy ones for the Orioles. They had a better 2025 record than each of their first three opponents and they don’t play a team that was better than .500 a year ago until they meet the Guardians on April 16. Three series into […]
Sometimes, the old becomes new again. So it is with the Frederick Keys, who served as the High-A affiliate of the Orioles through the 2019 season. They were squeezed out for a few years after MLB decided to reduce the number of minor leagues, with the High-A affiliate transferring to Aberdeen instead. Now, Aberdeen is […]
It’s only been nine games, but the 2026 Orioles are looking a lot like the 2025 Orioles. That’s the team that struggled so badly in April and May that their manager was fired, they eventually had to sell at the deadline, and the GM seemingly took a new approach to team-building over the offseason. While […]
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 9, Memphis Redbirds 1 (Game 1) The Tides played two on Sunday after Saturday’s schedule game was rained out. Game One was a good one. Levi Wells won his second start of the season with five one-run, four-hit innings. Wells allowed a run to St. Louis’s Triple-A affiliate on a two-out rally […]
Happy Monday, Camden Chatters! It was not a happy weekend for the Orioles, who limped out of Pittsburgh after being swept. That was after losing two out of three to the Rangers, making them losers of five of their last six. It’s not really how any of us imagined the season starting. Yesterday’s game was […]
If someone could kindly inform the Orioles that the 2026 season began a couple of weeks ago, I’d greatly appreciate it. The O’s continued to stumble out of the gate in the new season, putting themselves hopelessly behind after two innings en route to an 8-2 loss and a series sweep by the Pirates. Chris […]
The vibes in Birdland right now are…not great. It’s only been eight games, but so far the Orioles look discouragingly similar to the flawed, frustrating team of 2025 that was out of contention by Memorial Day. Their starting pitching has underwhelmed and has already lost a key member, likely for the season. Their offense has […]

Triple-A: Norfolk Tides @ Memphis Redbirds – PPD Last night’s game was rained out and will be made up as part of a doubleheader today. Double-A: Hartford Yard Goats (COL) 4, Chesapeake Baysox 2 Luis De León’s 2026 season did not get off to a great start. The lefty was wild to start with walks […]
Hello, friends. Once again, the Orioles find themselves in a funk. I’m not talking about the fun kind of funk. This isn’t Parliament-Funkadelic up in here. Tower of Power isn’t showing up to ask, What is hip? This is the stinky shoes kind of funk. The limburger. The durian fruit. Yeah, after losing yesterday, the […]
After misplays from Anthony Nunez and Coby Mayo allowed the Pirates to tie the game in the 8th, a Nick Yorke walkoff single in the 9th doomed the Orioles to their second straight loss in Pittsburgh. Despite being tied at 2-2 heading into the bottom of the 9th, manager Craig Albernaz turned to close Ryan […]
Probable pitchers: RHP Shane Baz (0-0, 6.75 ERA, 4 K) vs. RHP Carmen Mlodzinski (0-0, 4.15 ERA, 8 K) Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ The Orioles’ Game 1 loss in Pittsburgh followed the same script we’ve seen far too often this young season: the starting pitcher gives up a big inning early and the offense struggles […]

Triple-A: Memphis (Cardinals) 5, Norfolk Tides 4 One notable thing that happened here is that the Tides stuck with their original plan of having erstwhile Oriole Dean Kremer make the start for this game. That rules him out as an option for when Zach Eflin’s turn next comes up in the MLB rotation. Prior to […]
Good morning Birdland, The Orioles have not exactly started the year on fire. They lost 5-4 on Friday afternoon in Pittsburgh. That makes them losers of three out of their last four, alone in third place of the AL East. Across the board, they just haven’t been good enough. The starting pitching, outside of Trevor […]
The Orioles’ first road game of the year looked a lot like the six games they played at home to begin the season. Their starter scuffled on the mound, particularly in one inning, and their lineup failed to make the most of their opportunities. On Friday evening in Pittsburgh, that added up to a 5-4 […]
For the first time in 2026, the Orioles head out on the road, but they don’t have to go too far. They will begin the six-game trip with a weekend in Pittsburgh. Thankfully, we won’t be seeing Paul Skenes since he just started on Wednesday. However, we will get the privilege of watching Konnor Griffin, […]

As of last night, the Double-A Chesapeake season got under way. The highest-level Orioles affiliate that you don’t have to leave Maryland to watch is always a place with prospects to watch, at least as long as the Orioles farm system is well-stocked with prospects worth watching. This affiliate had a lot going for it […]
Through two series, the Orioles have proven themselves to be one of the most chaotic .500 teams in MLB. They’ve had well-pitched games, poorly-pitched games, offensive outbursts and days their bats fell silent. Despite dropping two out of three games against the Rangers, they finished the series strong in Wednesday’s 8-3 win. Baltimore will come […]
In 2025, the Orioles were supposed to be contenders to make a run at the AL East and deep into the postseason. Instead, they finished 75-87, in last place, with ineffectiveness a big problem on offense. Baltimore’s hitters batted a collective .235 (tied for 24th in MLB) and posted a .699 OPS (21st). Injuries shredded […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates have announced that Konnor Griffin will be on their big league roster for the home opener against the Baltimore Orioles. There are also reports that Griffin and the organization are finalizing what will be a record breaking contract extension for the 19-year-old superstar. News of the extension was broke by ESPN’s Buster […]
Hello, friends. The Orioles will be back at it today after having the day off yesterday. Don’t forget that this is the home opener game for Pittsburgh, which means the very atypical Friday game time of 4:12pm Eastern time. If you show up at 6:30 or 7 wondering when the game is going to start, […]
