Orioles news: New prospect lists, Tyler O’Neill rebound?

Hello, friends. Here we go. With 41 games to play, they sit two games out of the third AL wild card. This may be 2.5 games by the time you read this, depending on what happened with Texas out in Anaheim. They have a whopping five teams to pass to make it into a spot, […]

Orioles roster assessment: Who’s worth bringing back next year?

There are 41 games left to play in the 2026 Orioles season and although they continue to flirt with the fringes of the wild card race, the strong probability is that they are not going to make it into the postseason. It is going to have to be next year’s O’s in whom we pin […]

Orioles minor league recap 8/13: Dzierwa dominates in Double-A yet again

Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 6, Gwinnett Stripers (Braves) 5 – F/10 Trey Gibson battled through six innings and took a no-decision in this one. He allowed four runs on five hits, two walks, and eight strikeouts. The bullpen was solid in support. Dietrich Enns tossed two scoreless innings and struck out one. Codi Heuer was perfect […]

Orioles news: Another lost opportunity for the O’s

Good morning, Camden Chatters. This past week was the Orioles’ chance to decide whether they want to be serious contenders in the postseason race. Unfortunately, it appears they have made their decision quite clear. Presented with a golden opportunity to make up ground against two wild card opponents, the Orioles lost their series to both […]

Baz wastes lead, Orioles lose to Twins

Shane Baz has no one but himself to blame for this one. Between a lack of run support from his offense, substantial letdowns by his defense, and one especially terrible umpiring decision, Baz has racked up his share of hard-luck losses in 2026. As the Orioles tried to take their series against the Twins on […]

Orioles vs. Twins discussion

Even with the Orioles trying their darndest to bury their postseason chances on their own, the rest of the American League just refuses to do all that much to throw more dirt on this team. They linger on, two or three games out – currently two – and while it’s not terribly likely that they […]

Cam Sanders looks to build on a strong first impression

Plenty of fans have given up on the 2026 Orioles, but the other American League wild card contenders have done their best to keep hope alive. There are only a few good teams in the American League, and they all happen to play baseball in the AL East. The Orioles are not one of those […]

Orioles news: Alonso, Henderson power O’s to big win

Good morning Birdland, All the Orioles needed was a Brandon Young start to get themselves right. For whatever reason, the O’s bats are able to provide run support when Young is on the mound, and they did so again on Tuesday night. Three home runs in the first three innings gave the O’s an early […]

O’s blast off on Twins’ Ober, even the series, 5-2

“A pitcher’s nightmare, this game,” pronounced Kevin Brown as we headed into the fourth inning. It was true, we’d played six half-innings at that point and seen a run or more score in five. There were no easy ABs or quick outs. And while the runs dried up eventually, truly neither the Twins’ Bradley Ober […]

Tuesday night Orioles game thread: @ Twins, 7: 40 ET

It’s definitely been a frustrating road trip for the Orioles. They’ve had two series against wildcard contenders to stake their place in the playoff hunt, but the same flaws keep appearing. The offense just isn’t there, and the bullpen is wildly erratic. After dropping two of three to the Rangers last series, the Orioles got […]

Are the Orioles going to get another good season from Gunnar Henderson?

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Orioles fans and fans across the country. Of all of the things that cause angst about the 2026 Orioles, the struggle of Gunnar Henderson is the one that hits me the hardest. He was […]

Has selling ever actually helped the Orioles?

It’s been over a week since the most disheartening trade deadline sales job in Orioles history, and not much has changed for these Orioles. After last night’s loss in Minnesota, the O’s still find themselves just below .500, tantalizingly close to a Wild Card spot but with the foreboding sense that Baltimore will never actually […]

This week in the Orioles minors: New prospects make their mark

The trades that Mike Elias swung in the days and hours leading up to this year’s trade deadline brought a number of new names, and one familiar one, into the Orioles organization. Most of these are players who should be interesting to follow in the minors for this year and hopefully eventually on the major […]

Orioles news: Another loss sends O’s down wild card standings

Good morning Birdland, The Orioles came into this stretch of games with a chance to make their case as a team deserving of a spot in the AL playoffs. Instead, they have floundered, losing two of three to the Rangers and now the first game of a crucial series with the Twins. It was made […]

Kremer dominates Orioles, Birds fall 9-5

The Orioles traded seven-year veteran Dean Kremer to the Twins in exchange for 18-year-old outfield prospect Jhomnardo Reyes on July 31. The move subtracted a major league player from the roster, but it did not clearly identify the Orioles as sellers. Kremer missed a significant amount of the season with injury, and he struggled when […]

Monday night Orioles game thread: at Twins, 7:40

The Orioles will face a familiar face tonight in Minnesota. Dean Kremer will make his second start for the Twins after spending over six seasons in Baltimore. The outcome of tonight’s game feels significant. The offense let Shane Baz and Kyle Bradish down over the weekend but broke out for 10 runs on Sunday. The […]

Orioles—Twins series preview: Another wild card contender

The Orioles managed to avoid the sweep yesterday afternoon in Texas. The offense, after wasting a pair of strong pitching performances, broke out for 10 runs on Sunday. The Birds will look to keep that offensive momentum going as they travel to Minnesota. I’ll spare you the “this is a big series” speech. You probably […]

Podcast: Still trying to digest the Orioles trading Rutschman

Today marks a week since the Orioles traded Adley Rutschman to the Red Sox for a trio of high-ranked prospects in Boston’s system. Although I’ve mostly gotten over the immediate feeling of anger, there’s still something sad about it and that’s what was on my mind when I sat down to record this week’s episode […]

Do the Orioles even know what they want to be?

The Orioles have an identity problem. If you were to ask another team’s fanbase what they knew about the O’s, you are likely some scrunched faces followed by an empty world salad. It’s no wonder. The team has toiled in mediocrity (or worse) for the last 2+ seasons. They just traded away the face of […]

Orioles minor league recap: Forret debuts, Azocar homers for Frederick

Triple-A: Buffalo Bison (TOR) 9, Norfolk Tides 3 Norfolk starter Michel Forret, recently (re)acquired from Tampa Bay for Tyler Wells, pitched well in his 2026 Orioles org debut: the final line isn’t his fault. Forret threw 4.2 innings and allowed two runs. But Yosver Zulueta allowed four runs in less than an inning as part […]

Orioles news: The O’s offense finally woke up

Good morning, Camden Chatters. Miracles do occur: the Orioles actually can score some runs every once in a while. Yesterday they released more than a week’s worth of offensive frustration by putting up a 10-spot on the Rangers, clubbing 15 hits, tied for their third most of the season. Pete Alonso erupted for his first […]

Orioles offense finally breaks out to avoid sweep by Rangers

Most things look easier when you score ten runs. The Orioles offense entered Sunday’s game with 11 runs scored total for the month of August. When all was said and done on Sunday, they’d nearly doubled that total, adding ten runs as they avoided a sweep at the hands of the Rangers with a 10-5 […]

Orioles vs. Rangers game discussion

The Orioles can pretty much either win today to avoid a sweep by the Rangers or else they can give up on even pretending that they might have a chance at a wild card spot. The offense has scored 11 runs in seven games so far in August. These two things are connected. Orioles lineup […]

Orioles minor league recap: Eyanson debuts with nine strikeouts in five innings

Triple-A: Buffalo Bison (TOR) 10, Norfolk Tides 8 Luis De León’s second Norfolk start wasn’t as successful as his first. In four-plus innings, De León allowed six earned runs. In the second inning, he allowed three runs thanks to five straight singles. He started the fifth inning with a home run, a single, and a […]
