Orioles news: O’s final off day before wrapping up season
Good morning Birdland, We know the Orioles have already been eliminated from the playoff picture, but it’s possible that their regular season is over a day or two early as well. They played a double-header with the Yankees on Friday, where the teams split the games. The Orioles walloped their hosts 10-2 in the opener […]
Orioles lose familiar game to Yankees with many strikeouts, bad defense
After beating the Yankees in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader by a 10-2 score, the Orioles came out for the nightcap with a lineup that featured Jeremiah Jackson as the cleanup hitter, Rece Hinds as the right fielder, and included Yohel Pozo and José Barrero at the bottom of the order. As you already […]
Alonso hits two more HRs in 10-2 Orioles win over Yanks
This just in, ladies and gentlemen: Pete Alonso is really good at baseball. The Most Valuable Oriole continued to be the best thing to happen to this franchise in a long time, adding two more homers to his league-leading total in a 10-2 blowout win to open a doubleheader against the Yankees. Whatever other things […]
Friday Evening Orioles Victory GIF Party
It is Friday evening. The Orioles have beaten the Yankees in the first game of a single admission doubleheader, winning a 10-2 blowout. Pete Alonso hit two homers in the game to increase his season homer total to 43 and RBIs to 113, Dylan Beavers blew the game open with a grand slam, and Jeremiah […]
Orioles vs. Yankees discussion
This is it. The final series of the 2026 Orioles season. And we’ll knock out two of the three games in one fell swoop as the O’s and Yankees play a doubleheader today. Because of this weekend’s impending nor’easter, Saturday’s scheduled game was moved up to this afternoon, giving the Orioles their second straight doubleheader. […]
Orioles vs Yankees series preview: The season ends in New York
Yesterday afternoon, while the Orioles were enjoying their day off, they were eliminated from the postseason race. The Chicago White Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals 9-1 to clinch the third Wild Card spot. This was just a formality; the Orioles have been out of the race for a few weeks. I know this was […]
Which Orioles need the biggest bounceback in 2027?
The Orioles were officially eliminated last night. The White Sox beat the Royals 9-1, just as they were supposed to, and clinched a Wild Card spot. Munetaka Murakami drank champagne and told us, lo and behold, he’s Japanese. And the Orioles, meanwhile, watched, helpless to their fate. At 78-81, the best they can do now […]
Wehiwa Aloy might be the Orioles shortstop of the future
The conventional wisdom around drafting amateur players, especially the later in gets in the process, is that it’s essentially a crap shoot. There’s a lot of opinions and variables to sift through, and the reality is that many times even the best talent evaluators are going to get it wrong. But other times, it can […]
Orioles news: O’s officially eliminated
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles’ dreams of the 2026 postseason, such as they were, are officially dead. Last night, the White Sox won in Kansas City to clinch a playoff spot and mathematically eliminate the Birds from wild card contention. It’s over. Of course, it’s actually been over for quite some time, even if […]
The Orioles have been eliminated from the 2026 postseason
It’s finally over. The chance of the Orioles reaching the postseason for the 2026 campaign is officially zero. They were done in not through any last failure of their own that occurred today, instead getting eliminated on an off day because their miracle path involved the White Sox losing their final four games against the […]
Enrique Bradfield Jr. remains a speedy defender with questions at the dish
The first sign of progress in the Mike Elias era came with a small consequence. The Orioles finally fell out of the top 10 in the 2023 MLB draft. The Orioles selected Enrique Bradfield Jr. with the 17th overall pick that year. At the time, Bradfield was billed as a plus defender with elite speed. […]
Orioles news: O’s sweep doubleheader, stave off elimination
Good morning, Camden Chatters. It’s Sept. 24 and the Orioles are, technically, still alive in the postseason race. Will wonders never cease? The Orioles’ elimination number remains at 1 after a productive Wednesday in which they swept a doubleheader against the Blue Jays to close out their Camden Yards schedule for 2026. Combined with a […]
Gibson dazzles as O’s complete sweep of Jays
The Orioles closed out Camden Yards in fashion on Wednesday night, beating the Blue Jays 4-2 for the second time, completing a sweep of both the double-header and the series, while staving off playoff elimination for a least a few more hours. Trey Gibson was called on to make the spot start, his first time […]
Orioles vs Blue Jays discussion
The Orioles needed three things to happen today in order to stave off elimination from playoff contention for another day. First, they needed the win Game 1 over the Blue Jays. They did that, beating them 4-2 thanks to yet another Pete Alonso home run, a solid showing from Chris Bassitt, and a dominant performance […]
Orioles eliminate Blue Jays from playoff race in game 1 of doubleheader
The Orioles avoided being eliminated for at least a few more hours by winning the first game of their doubleheader against Toronto on Wednesday afternoon. In the process, they officially eliminated the Blue Jays from postseason contention. Too bad, so sad. In short, Chris Bassitt got the better of Max Scherzer in the Old Guy […]
Orioles vs. Blue Jays discussion
Today is almost certainly going to be the day that the Orioles are mathematically eliminated from the postseason. It could happen as soon as this first game of their doubleheader. The tragic number is one. Next time the Orioles lose, it’s over. Next time the White Sox win, it’s over. Chicago doesn’t play until 7:40. […]
Pete Alonso unanimously named Most Valuable Oriole
For a lot of the season, there has seemed to be only one obvious choice to end up as the Most Valuable Oriole. You never know if some voters will talk themselves into something silly to stop it from being unanimous. In 2026, it was so obvious that even those people got it right. Pete […]
Does the gap between Alonso and his teammates reveal an issue with O’s hitting approach?
The Orioles, as a collective unit, have failed in 2026. Some players got hurt, some players struggled, and a few were traded away. The team will finish with a losing record and miss the playoffs for the second consecutive season. Few things have worked out, but there’s one thing that cannot be questioned—Pete Alonso delivered […]
Orioles prospect season review: Esteban Mejia
What a difference a year can make. Unfortunately. One year ago at this time, Esteban Mejia’s career was on a very different trajectory. The Dominican right-hander, a 2024 international signing, was coming off of an excellent first season stateside, one in which he flashed both dazzling results — a 2.45 ERA and 11.8 K/9 as […]
Orioles news: Orioles could be eliminated from playoff contention today
Good morning Birdland, For a while now, we have been able to lean on the crutch that the Orioles were still “mathematically alive” in the AL playoff race. There is a chance, perhaps even an inevitability, that it will no longer be a matter of math after today. The Orioles elimination number is at one, […]
How close are these Orioles to the 2023 O’s?
Three years ago, at this time, the Orioles were wrapping up their first AL East title in nine years while on their way to an AL-best 101-61 record. Fast forward three years, and the O’s are back in the depths of disappointment that plagued this team for the entirety of the 2000s and the early […]
Orioles prospect season review: Aron Estrada
The Orioles have a number of interesting and exciting prospects who are now in their system. However, if you’ve been following my contributions to Camden Chat’s minor league coverage through this season, or if you read the title of this article, you already know that there’s only one prospect who is my guy: 21-year-old switch-hitting […]
Orioles news: Pete Alonso stays hot
Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! Last night, we got a reprieve from the misery that has been Orioles baseball lately. And we got it mostly thanks to Pete Alonso (who else). Alonso hit his 39th and 40th home runs of the season last night, powering the Orioles to a 4-3 victory over the Blue Jays. He’s […]
Pete Alonso powers Baltimore to come-from-behind 4-3 victory
After failing to score in their previous two games, the Orioles hardly looked like a team capable of overcoming an early three-run deficit. That’s why they play the games. Shane Baz allowed three runs in the top of the first, but Baltimore held Toronto off the scoreboard for the final eight frames. Pete Alonso launched […]
Orioles vs. Blue Jays discussion
Update: The Orioles announced that tonight’s game will start in a delay. The team said it would announce updates as they become available. The Orioles postseason hopes have all but vanished, but they’ll still play the remainder of their schedule. Nobody can blame you if you’ve checked out on this disappointing season. But if you’re […]
