Orioles give away another winnable game, lose to Nats, 4-3
It’s been mentioned on this site countless times before, but one thing about the Orioles is that they never let you feel good about them for very long. The O’s followed up Friday’s easy win with an excruciating, 4-3, 10-inning loss to the Nationals. The Orioles put themselves in an early hole through repeated defensive […]
Orioles game chat: vs. Nationals, 7:05
The season series of the Battle of the Beltways is split so far, with two wins each for the Orioles and Nationals. The O’s struck the most recent blow with their 3-1 victory in last night’s series opener at Camden Yards. Now they’ll try to make it two in a row as they turn to […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/27: Kremer with a scoreless rehab start
Triple-A: Durham (Rays) 4, Norfolk Tides 1 Rehabbing major leaguer Dean Kremer gave this one a good shove, with 6.2 scoreless innings where he gave up only two hits and a walk, notching eight strikeouts along the way. This was an efficient outing as well, as it only took him 79 pitches to do all […]
Orioles news: A welcome return home for the Birds
Good morning, Camden Chatters. It’s nice to be back home, isn’t it? The Orioles returned from their nine-game trek to the West Coast — their longest road trip in two years — with a solid victory against the Nationals on Pride Night to begin a six-game homestand. While one win over a reeling Nats team […]
Friday Pride Night Orioles GIF Party
It is Friday. The Orioles have returned home and beat the Nationals, 3-1. Trevor Rogers was good. Coby Mayo was also good! There were some shenanigans, but not enough to keep the Orioles from getting the win. YOU KNOW WHAT MUST BE DONE (GIFS!)
Trevor Rogers shines brightly on Pride Night, O’s beat Nationals, 3-1
Happy Pride Night! After a rousing electric guitar version of the Star-Spangled Banner, the Orioles came on out and delivered an inspired Friday win, defeating the Nationals in a tidy 3-1 contest. It wasn’t the most explosive offensive performance ever, but left-handed starter Trevor Rogers certainly brought the energy, going 6 1/3 innings with a […]
Friday night Orioles game thread: vs. Nationals, 7:05 ET
Back to Baltimore march the Orioles, but we can’t say it’s with anything like momentum. The team went 4-5 in a nine-game road series against Seattle and both Los Angeles teams, at least several of those winnable games. The Birds probably should have swept the Dodgers, crazy as it sounds, but Ryan Helsley was fresh […]
Orioles-Nationals series preview: Battle of the Beltways heads to Baltimore
The Orioles return to Baltimore this weekend as frustrating and confounding as ever, with the team returning home after their West Coast road trip. When the O’s left for their three-series West Coast swing against the Mariners, Dodgers and Angels, they were five games under .500 and two games out of a Wild Card spot. […]
Orioles fans think Pete Alonso is most deserving of an All-Star spot
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Orioles fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. MLB’s announcements of the first round of All-Star voting yesterday made it official that the Orioles will not […]
Why are the Orioles losing so many close games late?
After Wednesday night’s latest ridiculous late-innings collapse, our own Mark Brown concluded:“In a lot of ways, the specifics don’t matter as much as the fact that there’s always something stupid that finds a way to happen.” He has a point. Eighty-two games into the season, we can’t keep denying what this team is made up […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/26: Kjerstad goes deep
Triple-A: Durham Bulls (Rays) 7, Norfolk Tides 5 The Tides led this game 5-1 before Durham exploded for six runs in the seventh inning. Norfolk starter Chris Kachmar tossed 4.2 innings of one run ball before things fell apart. Kachmar allowed six hits, walked three and struck out two. Christian Herberholz coughed up the six […]
Orioles news: First half self-assessment, All-Star voting shutout
Hello, friends. The grind resumes. The Orioles are back at it tonight. Anything could happen. That’s the frustrating thing about these guys. They are really, genuinely capable of playing some good baseball. They have won quite a few games that could be real, signature wins, if only they had won a few more non-signature wins […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/25: Watts-Brown dazzles in Baysox loss
Triple-A: Durham Bulls (Rays) 6, Norfolk Tides 4 – Game 1 One bad inning sunk the Tides in this one. The top of the third inning saw the Bulls send 11 batters to the plate and score all six of their runs for the game off of five hits (including a two-run homer), two walks, […]
Orioles news: Rutschman, Holliday updates; another bad loss
Hello, friends. The west coast road trip of disappointment is finally over. At times, it seemed like it could have been something better than it was. If only the Orioles had scored more than six runs in three games against the Mariners. If only they hadn’t blown the series opener against the Dodgers. If only […]
Orioles embarrass themselves in extra innings, lose 7-6 to Angels
The 2026 Orioles have played plenty of dumb, bad baseball. But the 10th inning of this 7-6 loss to the Angels on Wednesday afternoon in Anaheim may take the title for the absolute worst moment of the entire season. It also completely changed the tone of the now-concluded west coast road trip, which saw the […]
Wednesday afternoon game thread: at Angels, 4:07
Our prolonged nightmare of west cost games is nearly over. After tonight, the Orioles will not be back on west coast time until late August, when they have a six-game stint in Sacramento and Denver. Right now, the Orioles have gone 4-4 on this road trip. That’s not bad considering how it started in Seattle. […]
Baz blasted, Orioles offense dormant in loss to Angels
Whatever else can be said about the 2026 Orioles, you’ve got to give this to them: They’re really committed to the bit. The problem for everyone who would prefer if they win games is that the bit the Orioles are committed to is the steadfast refusal to ever go on any kind of extended winning […]
Which injured Orioles can provide a spark in the second half?
It’s impossible to tell the story of the 2026 Orioles without mentioning injuries. The same can be said about the 2025 Orioles, the 2024 Orioles, and really every other team. Injuries are always part of baseball, but sometimes they play a larger role than others. Jordan Westburg will miss the entire 2026 season after undergoing […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/24: Frederick pitches one-hit shutout against Wilmington
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides vs. Durham Bulls (Postponed-Rain) The Tides and Bulls were rained out on Tuesday and will play a makeup game as part of a doubleheader today. Double-A: Chesapeake Baysox 4, Harrisburg Senators 2 Anderson De Los Santos launched a three-run homer in the 6th that put the Baysox ahead for good in their […]
Orioles news: Orioles fail to win fourth in a row yet again
Good morning Birdland, Yet again, a fourth consecutive win eluded the Orioles. Their mini winning streak came to an end in Anaheim on Tuesday night with a 5-1 loss. They will attempt to snag the series later today. First pitch is 4:07 eastern time. If the Orioles were to continuously win three out of every […]
Tuesday night game thread: at Angels, 9:38
The Orioles have won three games in a row several times this season. They are yet to win four games in a row. That could change tonight as the O’s send Shane Baz to the mound in search of their fourth consecutive win in the Los Angeles area. The team took the final two games […]

Podcast: Wrapping up a middling Orioles first half
Tonight, the Orioles will play their 81st game of the season, marking the mathematical halfway point of the regular season. The best they can do is 39-42. That’s disappointing relative to preseason hopes that this thing would get turned around, but this first half really could have been a lot worse than it was. Whatever […]
Grading the Orioles’ offseason moves at the 2026 halfway point
After tonight’s game with the Angels, the Orioles will officially reach the 81-game mark of their 2026 campaign. Heading into Game 81, it’s safe to say that the first half of the O’s season has largely been disappointing. Seen by most as a strong wild card contender heading into the season, Baltimore currently sits below […]
This week in the Orioles minors: Keys take first half division title
It is almost time to turn the calendar to July. Over the next month, the Orioles farm could be drained if the team plays well enough for Mike Elias to try to make real upgrades at the trade deadline. Or it could be stocked again if things go the other way. A lot depends on […]
