What Kyle Bradish’s extension means for the rest of the rotation

When Kyle Bradish takes the mound tonight in Boston, he’ll make the first start of the next era of his career. I have often referred to Bradish as the “Orioles’ former ace”—having been dethroned by the acquisition of Corbin Burnes and his subsequent UCL injury that required Tommy John surgery. However, after the recent announcement […]

Orioles prospect check-in: How are the preseason top 20 doing this year?

Which preseason prospects have delivered on the hype, and which have tailed off? #1 – C Samuel Basallo #2 – OF Dylan Beavers Basallo MLB stats: […]

Orioles news: A brutal loss in Boston

Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! Did you watch last night’s baseball game between the Orioles and the Red Sox? It was pretty dumb. It’s not that the Orioles lost, which was disappointing but not that surprising. It was the way in which they lost. They made four errors! A Jeremiah Jackson throwing error allowed a baserunner […]

Orioles’ defensive gaffes hand Red Sox their 14th straight win

The Orioles’ seven-game winning streak is over. And it was a heartbreaker. They came up against the buzzsaw of the Boston Red Sox’ 13-game (now 14-game) winning streak and couldn’t do quite enough to overcome it, torpedoing their own chances with a brutal four-error performance in a 6-5 loss. Tonight marked only the fifth time […]

Monday night Orioles game thread: at Red Sox, 7:10

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s go time. The Orioles and Red Sox square off at Fenway Park tonight for the opener of what’s become a crucially important three-game series. The O’s have won seven games in a row entering the night, while the Red Sox boast a 13-game winning streak. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, […]

Orioles news: Adley Rutschman to injured list with wrist injury

The Orioles will have to try to keep their winning streak going without All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman. The team announced on Monday afternoon that Rutschman has been placed on the injured list due to inflammation in his left wrist. Corresponding moves had catcher Chadwick Tromp’s contract selected from Norfolk, with outfielder Rudy Martin designated for […]

Podcast: The Orioles finally have a real winning streak

We have been waiting all season for the Orioles to prove that they are good enough that they can go on a lengthy winning streak to help drag themselves out of the depths they’ve fallen into. They’re finally in the middle of doing that. It only took reaching a new season low point for them […]

Four stats from the Orioles’ current win streak worth examining

The Orioles have saved their season (for the time being) with this current seven-game winning streak. The wins haven’t all been pretty, but they’ve gotten the job done and climbed the team back into the thick of the AL playoff race. It has also set the stage for a massive midweek series in Boston that […]

Orioles news: A pivotal series begins in Boston

Good morning, Camden Chatters. Three weeks ago, if you had told me that the Orioles/Red Sox series in mid-July would be a crucially important one for both teams, I’d have looked at you like you had three heads. “Important for what, draft positioning?” I’d have replied derisively, then laughed at my own joke. I’d have […]

Orioles complete sweep, win seventh straight with 5-2 victory in Houston

Despite playing 11 innings on Saturday, Baltimore optioned reliever Cam Sanders and recalled third catcher Sam Huff. Samuel Basallo started today’s game behind the dish, but Huff’s presence indicated that Adley Rutschman was likely unavailable. Huff was thrust into action in the second inning when Samuel Basallo left the game with right shoulder discomfort. The […]

Sunday afternoon Orioles game thread: at Astros, 2:10

The Orioles will look to complete the sweep and secure their seventh-consecutive victory this afternoon in Houston. Baltimore originally penciled Kyle Bradish as the starter, but the O’s will send out Brandon Young to start the finale. Bradish is now scheduled to start on Tuesday against the Red Sox. Young will look to make it […]

Orioles minor league recap 7/19: Keys score 12 in romp over Greenville

Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 9, Nashville Sounds (MIL) 2 Nestor German started for the Tides and pitched six strong innings. His only run allowed came on a solo home run in the second inning, and he in fact allowed just two hits and one walk. He struck out four. German is on a nice stretch and […]

Orioles news: Bradish extension, Booth signs

Good morning, Camden Chatters. Is it just me, or is baseball suddenly kind of fun again? The Orioles could end up disappointing us all again, and soon. But yesterday was a pretty great day for the organization. On the field, the O’s pulled off a stunning, extra-innings victory over the Astros to run their winning […]

Orioles sign Kyle Bradish to five-year extension

Just as tonight’s game with the Houston Astros was beginning, the Orioles announced that they have signed starting pitcher Kyle Bradish to a five-year contract extension. The deal starts with the 2027 season. Bradish had been slated to become a free agent in the 2029 season, so the deal keeps him under team control for […]

Saturday afternoon Orioles game thread: at Astros, 4:10 ET

The Orioles are in unprecedented territory, carrying a season-best five-game winning streak into today’s game. What do you say we make it six? The Birds’ second-half opener last night wasn’t the most crisply played affair, with nine walks by the O’s pitching staff and a nearly non-existent offensive showing, but Taylor Ward’s dramatic, eighth-inning home […]

Orioles news: O’s extend win streak to five games with late Ward homer

Good morning Birdland, The All-Star break is over, and the Orioles got right back into the action with a 3-2 win on Friday night in Houston. It wasn’t the most dominant performance you’ll ever see. The six pitchers that O’s manager Craig Albernaz deployed really had to battle, and the offense was rather quiet until […]

Friday Night Orioles Victory GIF Party

It is Friday night. The Orioles have won a fifth straight game. No, really! Taylor Ward hit a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning, helping the O’s in a game where they only got five hits. A parade of pitchers, starting with Dean Kremer and including brand new Oriole Cam Sanders, contributed to holding […]

Friday night Orioles game thread: @ Houston, 8:10 PM ET

If you recall, prior to the All-Star break the Orioles had just climbed a hurdle they’d failed to yet surpass: a four-game win streak. Now, they’re a bit battered and bruised, what with late-inning relievers Ryan Helsley and Keegan Akin on the shelf, and hottest-hitter-of-late Blaze Alexander sidelined, sadly, with a fractured hand, thanks to […]
