The Baltimore Orioles have been playing some improved baseball as of late, winning seven out of their last nine games to pull to within one game of the .500 mark on the season. That, combined with the overall ineptitude of the AL this year, has given the Orioles a legit shot at making a playoff […]

Phrases and terms such as “generational” and “can’t-miss” flood player evaluation more and more with each top prospect. Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday is another member of that long list. Perhaps some of it is his bloodline, as being the son of an All-Star like Matt Holliday comes with a set of expectations. We […]

A two-time minor league batting champion, Jim Dwyer struggled to find his niche in the National League before becoming a pinch-hitting specialist and a World Series champion with the Baltimore Orioles in the 1980s.

One of only three players in big league history to appear in at least 1,300 games yet come to bat fewer than 3,300 times, Jim Dwyer nevertheless carved out a reputation as a player winn...
There are 25 games remaining to the Orioles and they get to play the next three of them against the team with the worst record in all of MLB. That’s the Colorado Rockies, a team that has been down and out for quite some time. They haven’t had a winning season from 2019 to the […]
The strange journey of the 2026 Orioles season continues, now with the team just one game back of .500 for the first time since the end of April. A whole lot of baseball has happened between now and then. A lot of that baseball was bad in May and June. Things have gone a bit […]
With their 8-5 win over the Athletics on Sunday afternoon, the Orioles improved to just one game under .500 for the first time since April 30. The four months in between have included a tumble down the standings, a roster sell-off, and now a renaissance on the field. It remains to be seen whether the […]
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 7, Durham Bulls (TBR) 4 Well, isn’t that a sight for sore eyes: Félix Bautista in the box score, earning a W. The Mountain, still rehabbing his throwing arm since undergoing rotator cuff and labrum surgery in fall 2025, threw an unimpeachable sixth inning that saw him allow a single and strike […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles, for all their trials and tribulations throughout this 2026 campaign, are on the brink of being a .500 team again. The Birds’ sweep in Sacramento has pushed them to a 68-69 record, the first time since April 30 that they’ve been within a game of .500. On six other […]
If the Orioles win on Monday night at Colorado, they’ll be at .500 for the first time since winning the first game of a doubleheader on April 30th. In the first six games of a nine-game road trip, the Orioles (68-69) are 5-1 and one game under .500 since losing the second game of that […]
Question: Lots of negativity has been heaped on the 2026 Orioles. I’ve read complaints about individual players, the team as a whole, management, coaches, the front office, and the owner. Despite all the negativity, with a couple of days until September, the Orioles are just a game back from the last wild-card slot. I can’t […]
Baltimore entered today’s matchup with the Athletics looking for a three-game sweep, but it felt like the team would be forced to settle for a series win after Chris Bassitt allowed five runs in the first three frames. The Orioles lose this game in April. They probably lose it in May, June and July too. […]
O’s are 1 game under the .500 mark for first time since April 30
The A’s couldn’t manage to sneak out a win in three tries against the Orioles. They dropped the finale 8-5 on Sunday afternoon, ending the home stand on a losing note. On to Texas. It was veteran Jeffrey Springs on the mound today, making his 25th start of the year and third since his brief […]
Alonso was hit in a scary area and removed for a pinch runner.
The Orioles have an opportunity to sweep the Athletics today with Chris Bassitt on the mound. Baltimore managed a pair of close victories over the struggling A’s on Friday and Saturday. The team will look to build some momentum with a convincing result this afternoon. Blaze Alexander is back atop the lineup and will play […]
Here we go. Series finale Sunday. The A’s have already lost the series but can salvage a win today and avoid the sweep. Gotta maintain our lead over the Angels for fourth place in the AL West. It’s left-hander Jeffrey Springs on the mound for today. It’s been a rough season for Springs in what […]
O’s beat the Athletics and have won three series in a row for first time in 2026
Hello, friends. The Orioles have managed to creep closer to a wild card spot yet again. Thanks to losses by the Guardians and Rangers yesterday and the O’s holding on to take down the Athletics, the team is now just a game back of the third wild card, with only Cleveland standing between the Orioles […]
There are four weeks left in the season, and the Orioles are one game behind the Guardians for the third wild-card spot in the American League. Whether they can continue a push for the final wild-card spot is the biggest question for September. But there are other important questions that need to be answered in […]
As we head into the final month of the season, this year’s past frustrations are just that, past. For all their flaws in construction and execution, the Orioles now have the chance to seize control of their playoff destiny, stack some wins, and grab the third and final Wild Card spot for good. Today, they […]
The Athletics faced the Baltimore Orioles hoping to bounce back from last night’s extra-inning defeat. The Orioles prevailed for a second straight day, winning 5-3 in a close, dramatic Saturday night contest. Orioles Strike First Again A’s starter Jack Perkins got his outing off to a good start with two scoreless innings to begin the […]
Happy Saturday, folks! Hope you’re having a nice weekend. If you decide to spend it watching late-night West Coast baseball, I hope the Orioles grace you with a series win tonight. They snatched a win in Game One last night with a 4-3 victory in ten innings. Although Brandon Young pitched a strong seven innings, […]
Last night, the Athletics fell to 14-29 in series openers this season after falling to the Baltimore Orioles 4-3 in 10 innings. The A’s had a chance to win their third straight game, but they could not conjure enough late-inning magic. As a result, the team must win tonight to avoid falling into a 2-0 […]
