Tuesday night Orioles game thread: at Red Sox, 6:45
Fresh off a 7-3 homestand, the O’s open their June schedule with three games in Boston against a reeling Red Sox team. The Orioles are just 9-17 on the road, while the Red Sox are 9-15 at home, so neither team is happy to be there. It’s a movable force against a stoppable object. But […]
Orioles minors weekly recap: Dzierwa strikes out more in AA
This time a year ago, there was essentially no joy to be found in following the Orioles unless you were looking down to the farm. The 2026 Orioles have avoided reaching that point before the calendar turned to June and hopefully they will continue to do so. One reason I hope this is because I […]
Orioles-Red Sox series preview: In Bawston
Competitive baseball—what a thought! It’s been a beautiful stretch for the O’s, who, after getting swept by the AL East-leading Rays the week before, returned the favor in emphatic fashion, then pulled off a series split against the Blue Jays. They started May by losing five of six series and ended it with a 7-3 […]
Three trends from May that improve the Orioles playoff chances
For the 2026 Orioles, there is a glass half full and a glass half empty way to look at their month of May. The glass half empty crowd would focus on the fact that the O’s went 13-16 in the second month of the season and currently sit four games below .500 at 28-32. The […]
Orioles news: The O’s take their show on the road
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Eleven days ago in this space, I wrote that the Orioles were beginning a season-defining homestand that, if it went well, would help them build some momentum and start to salvage their season — or, if it went poorly, could spell “stick a fork in ’em” time for the 2026 team. […]
Podcast: Looking back on an up and down Orioles May
It was only a week or so ago that Birdland was buzzing over Ben McDonald’s post-game rant on MASN, and the Orioles, not far off getting swept by the Rays, seemed like they might be headed for disaster. Instead, for the second time in May, they picked themselves up after getting swept by a division […]
The Orioles made a statement with successful home stretch
If the Orioles do end up fully turning this season around, this past home stand will have been where it started. Ten days ago, this club was spiraling, losers of five out of six and cratering to the bottom of the AL East. Now, after some home cooking and a series of exciting wins, the […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/1: Vance Honeycutt’s 3-R HR wins it for Keys in the ninth
Triple-A: Durham Bulls (TBR) 7, Norfolk Tides 6 It was a back and forth game for Durham and Norfolk, and a monster game for Christian Encarnacion-Strand, who you may not have known was in the Orioles organization unless you read this blog a lot. The 26-year-old third baseman, acquired from the Reds in April for […]
Orioles news: Wrapping up a 7-3 homestand
Happy Monday, Camden Chatters! It was a very successful weekend in Birdland. After dropping the first two games of the series with the Blue Jays, and getting very close to ruining the good vibes created over the first six games of the homestand. But they staged an incredible ninth-inning comeback on Saturday and scored nine […]
Colton Cowser and Kyle Bradish shine in 9-5 Orioles’ win over Toronto
Colton Cowser spearheaded a dominant Orioles start, and Kyle Bradish shut down the Blue Jays lineup, as the O’s beat the Blue Jays 9-5 to earn a series split. After using small ball and a patient approach for their dramatic comeback Saturday, the O’s went back to small ball to take an early lead Sunday. […]
Sunday afternoon Orioles game thread: vs. Blue Jays, 12:15pm ET
Where to watch: NBCSN/Peacock Probable pitchers: RHP Kyle Bradish (2-6, 3.86 ERA, 61 K) vs. RHP Spencer Miles (2-0, 2.16 ERA, 32 K) The Orioles have put all of Birdland on an emotional rollercoaster this past week, starting with a Colton Cowser walkoff homer vs. the Tigers and ending with a Pete Alonso walkoff single […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/31: Creed Willems walks it off
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 8, Durham Bulls (TBR) 5 – F/10 The Tides broke a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the sixth on a Ryan Noda RBI double and José Barrero’s 11th home run of the year. The rally put them up, 5-3, then Ryan Long immediately allowed three runs in the next inning to […]
Orioles news: Hope lives again
Hello, friends. We were right on the verge of the Orioles really kicking us in the teeth there, weren’t we? If they followed up on sweeping the Rays by losing the first three games to the Blue Jays all in extremely excruciating fashion, that would have started to feel like the season was over again. […]
Orioles pull off miraculous ninth-inning comeback to beat Jays, 6-5
You guys. YOU GUYS. Orioles Magic is very much still alive. And it. Is. Glorious. The O’s pulled off their most incredible comeback of the year — maybe their most incredible in many years — by storming back from a four-run deficit in the bottom of the ninth for a chaotic 6-5 win over the […]
Saturday afternoon Orioles game thread: vs. Blue Jays, 4:05
Don’t look now, but the Orioles might be bad again. Or maybe they never stopped. After starting the series with a chance to build upon the momentum of their three-game sweep of the Rays, the O’s instead have sputtered, dropping two straight one-run losses to the Blue Jays. Both were eminently winnable games that the […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/30: Baysox offense explodes, others sleep
Triple-A: Durham (Rays) 7, Norfolk Tides 4 Friends, it’s depressing looking at this Norfolk box score. No help is on the way and chaos reigns. The Orioles signed a pitcher more or less off of his couch to start this game. That’s Chris Kachmar, part of the Cubs organization last year, who pitched his first […]
Orioles news: Albernaz under fire for pitching decisions
Good morning Birdland, Last night’s game is likely to go down as one of the hardest—if not THE hardest—losses of the season. The Orioles had nearly a 97% chance of winning going into the seventh inning. They were ahead 5-0. It would have served as an impressive bounce-back from dropping Game 1 of the series […]
Orioles blow five-run lead, fall 6-5 to Jays
For six innings, everything appeared to be going Baltimore’s way. Trevor Rogers looked like the guy everyone hoped he would be this season. The Orioles already had three home runs under their belt and appeared destined for more against Toronto’s bullpen. Then things quickly fell apart. Rogers allowed four runs in the blink of an […]
Friday night Orioles game thread: vs. Blue Jays, 7:05
Trevor Rogers will look to get back on track tonight against the Blue Jays. The Orioles received a quality start from Chris Bassitt yesterday, but the offense failed to carry its weight in a 2-1 loss. Baltimore will need to score more than two runs tonight if Rogers’ recent woes continue. Adley Rutschman (DH) and […]
So … is Coby Mayo good now?
Back in February, Jordan Westburg got a double-whammy of bad news: after suffering an oblique strain, he started feeling elbow discomfort, only to learn he’d partly torn his UCL—a bad injury, under any circumstances. Most people figured that Jordan Westburg was gone for this calendar year (this even before it was announced in May that […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/29: Norfolk falls short of combined no-hitter
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 3, Durham Bulls (Rays) 0 (Completion of 5/27 game) Wednesday’s game was suspended in the fourth inning due to weather. The two teams resumed play today, and Norfolk needed only one swing to secure the victory. Creed Willems launched a three-run home run shortly after play resumed. The blast plated Heston Kjerstad […]
Orioles news: A winning streak snapped
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The good vibes of the Orioles’ sweep of the first-place Rays did not carry into their next series, at least not for the opener. The O’s slipped back to five games under .500 with their 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays, as their offense, which had plated 26 runs in three […]
Nunez wildness costs the Orioles again in 2-1 loss to Jays
For any given baseball game, there are dozens or hundreds of little things that could have gone just a little differently to change a win to a loss or a loss to a win. Nearly every time, one of those things looms larger than the rest. On Thursday night as the Orioles opened up their […]
Orioles live game chat: May 28 vs. Blue Jays, 6:35 ET
If I had a dollar for every time someone has brought up the Earl Weaver quote that momentum is the next day’s starting pitcher, I could probably take a nice vacation. It comes up so often it is kind of a joking cliche. Yet the reason it is deployed so often is there is an […]
Orioles-Blue Jays series preview: Searching for another series win
Heading into last week’s series against Detroit, our fearless leader Mark Brown proclaimed that the Orioles were “at another crisis point.” Believe it or not, this team actually responded. Baltimore secured back-to-back series victories over the Tigers and Rays to inch closer to .500. The team exploded for five runs in the first inning and […]
