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 […]
Joseph Dzierwa kept batters off-balance all season as he climbed to Double-A and learned to compete even when he didn't have his best stuff.

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 […]

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 […]
The Orioles have reached the point where they need to be absolutely perfect from this point out, and even that likely won’t be enough to sneak them into the playoffs. For a more modest goal of simply finishing at .500 or better, the team can still lose one more time. On paper, it looks like […]

The Milwaukee Brewers are going for a series sweep in Baltimore tonight, as ace Jacob Misiorowski will toe the rubber for Sunday Night Baseball, Milwaukee’s first Sunday night game since the MLB Little League Classic in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, one month ago. The Brewers, at 97-58 on the season, have also officially tied their franchise record […]
BALTIMORE—Félix Bautista was activated before Saturday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers, though he didn’t pitch in it. When Bautista appears in a game, it will be the first appearance for the 31-year-old right-hander since July 20th, 2025. Bautista had surgery on his rotator cuff and labrum in August 2025, his second major surgery in less […]
The Toronto Blue Jays may be without their ace starting pitcher as they pursue a playoff berth during the final week of the 2026 MLB season. Dylan Cease underwent a MRI exam on his right shoulder on Saturday night and has been scratched from his start scheduled for Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles. Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters on Sunday that Cease could be shut down for the remainder of the season. Going into Sunday’s play, Toronto (76-79) is three games behind the Ch...
Orioles president of baseball operations Mike Elias was promoted to that role leading into the 2025 season. Since then, the team has gone 150-167 (.473) and may finish last in the AL East for the second consecutive season. For a team that looked like a rising force just a few years ago, that kind of […]
This wasn’t a good weekend to announce that Craig Albernaz would be returning as manager. The announcement was made as awkwardly as Rece Hinds’ attempt to catch a fly ball by Joey Ortiz that he misplayed into a triple. President of baseball operations Mike Elias said that Albernaz would be getting a second season after […]
Hello, friends. The Orioles added another disappointing game on an “honor a part of the team’s history” day with yesterday’s 1-0 loss to the Brewers. You would easily think that Trevor Rogers pitching eight innings while striking out batters would have meant a win on the day that the team hosted the honorary “retire as […]
BALTIMORE—Trey Mancini looks as if he could still play major league baseball. In fact, he did play again just over three months ago when the Los Angeles Angels brought him back to the major leagues after an absence of nearly three years. After five games and a .308 average, the Angels no longer needed him, […]
