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 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 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 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 […]
