Welcome to Thursday A’s fans! The team has an off day today to recuperate and prepare to welcome their next series opponent to Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento. That opponent is the young, and heating up, Baltimore Orioles. It wasn’t long ago Baltimore had seemingly waived the white flag on 2026. They’ve been hurt […]
It is no surprise that Pete Alonso’s raw power has been too valuable for the Baltimore Orioles, yet his calf has forced them to tread carefully. An example of that came this Tuesday when Craig Albernaz pulled him as soon as the victory was secured. Alonso went 4-for-4 against the St. Louis Cardinals that day. […]

Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles just can’t make things easy, can they? What should have been a second straight breezy blowout win over the Cardinals turned into a cardiac-inducing affair, a game that saw the O’s fritter away a 7-0 lead and nearly suffer what would’ve been perhaps their most agonizing loss of the […]
ST. LOUIS—When Blaze Alexander went on the injured list with a fractured left hand, the Orioles recalled third baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand from Triple-A Norfolk, where he’d been compiling impressive statistics since his acquisition from Cincinnati in April. In the last six weeks, Encarnacion-Strand has become indispensable for the Orioles. On Wednesday night, after the Orioles […]
Question: Gunnar Henderson is in a season-long slump. He leads the league in strikeouts. He hits ground balls to second base regularly. In fact his ground-ball to fly-ball rate is up over past seasons. I see nothing different in his approach at the plate. I was happy to see Pete Alonso talking hitting with him. […]
Well, this game was like a rollercoaster. And when it ended, I felt much like I do after a real rollercoaster: happy but mildly nauseous. The Orioles jumped out to a huge early lead in this game, big enough to make us relax a bit. The vibes were good, and the offense was cooking. But […]
How can two baseball games start out so similar, but end so differently? I present to you Tuesday night’s Cardinals/Orioles game as Exhibit A and Wednesday night’s Cardinals/Orioles game as Exhibit B. Very similar games as the Orioles brought out their bats and put the Cardinals down big early. St. Louis Cardinals starter Michael McGreevy […]
ST. LOUIS—Orioles outfielder Tyler O’Neill has been placed on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. The move is retroactive to Sunday. O’Neill injured his shoulder making a diving catch on Tampa Bay’s Richie Palacios in the ninth inning of Saturday night’s game. “I got a scan yesterday. Unfortunately, I have a rotator cuff […]
Our Oriole writer, Rich Dubroff, is a patient man. I know because I often test his patience with observations about the Orioles that are less than flattering. They often frustrate me, and Rich is a reliable outlet. Because of the observations, or outbursts, he calls me Sunny Jack. A recent moment came in the top […]

Orioles vs Cardinals7:45 EDTMASN/MASN+ The Orioles laid the smack down on the Cardinals last night with a 13-1 victory to kick off their nine-game road trip. It was an exciting win but let’s be honest: we are Orioles fans. We know that this means the Orioles will probably suffer a demoralizing loss tonight. Maybe a […]
The Orioles selected the contract of infielder Luis Vazquez before Wednesday’s matchup against the Cardinals. He’ll take the spot of outfielder Tyler O’Neill, who is headed to the injured list with shoulder inflammation. Baltimore had an opening on the 40-man roster for Vazquez. The club’s 40-man is now full. Vazquez was in the running for […]
The Orioles acted as sellers at the deadline. They didn’t totally punt their season but they were clearly leaning to one side of the buy/sell line. Impending free Taylor Ward was traded to the Mariners. Adley Rutschman and Tyler Wells, both under club control through 2027, were traded to the Red Sox and Rays, respectively. […]
Baltimore Orioles manager Craig Albernaz may have said Pete Alonso was dealing with his calf, but that doesn’t mean he’s okay with reporters asking about it. The Orioles beat the St. Louis Cardinals 13-1 Tuesday night, led by one of the hottest hitters in all of baseball right now, Pete Alonso, who went 4-4 with…
The Baltimore Orioles just beat the St. Louis Cardinals by a score of 13-1. The dominant win came at an important time for the Orioles, as Baltimore had lost five of their previous seven games, and tensions were clearly starting to come to a boil. Even after the big-time win, Craig Albernaz proved that he […]

The Orioles placed Samuel Basallo on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation back on July 22. At that time, Baltimore was 50-53. The Birds were only a few games removed from a seven-game win streak that had the potential to save their season. Adley Rutschman, Taylor Ward and Tyler Wells were still on the […]
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 3, Durham Bulls 1 Cade Povich delivered his best Triple-A start of the season and Blaze Alexander made his first rehab appearance in the Tides’ series-opening win. The 26-year-old lefty started off the game with back-to-back strikeouts before ending the inning on a runner caught stealing. After a 1-2-3 second, Povich ran […]
A great start to the nine-game road trip
Good morning Birdland, At this point in the season every single game is crucial, and the Orioles played like it on Tuesday night. They used an eight-run fifth inning and a stellar start from Chris Bassitt to crush the Cardinals 13-1 in the series opener. The 2.5-game gap between the Orioles and the final AL […]
Growing up in Baltimore, Barry Feldman dreamed of pitching for the Orioles. He had to settle for writing songs about them. It’s a good thing because he wrote some gems. When Barry Feldman was growing up in Baltimore in the 1960s, he had two passions. One was music — playing the guitar, singing and performing. […]
The Orioles kicked off a crucial nine-game road trip with a blowout 13-1 win over the hosting Cardinals on Tuesday night. Pete Alonso paced the lineup before he left the game with a flare up of his calf injury. O’s starter Chris Bassitt turned in a solid 6.2 innings before Anthony Nunez over-powered the opposing […]
Tuesday night was an opportunity for the St. Louis Cardinals to rebound from a profoundly disappointing end to the road trip returning home from Philadelphia, but would they? Much of that would depend on which version of Matthew Liberatore took the mound for the Cardinals. The answer is not the one most Cardinals fans were […]
