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 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 […]
Orioles-Red Sox series preview: The two hottest teams in baseball face off
Not too long ago, the Orioles and Red Sox looked like two teams destined to battle it out for last place in the AL East. Flash forward to today, and both teams have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs. The Red Sox have been the hottest team in baseball over the last three weeks. […]
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 minor league recap 7/20: Keys blast six home runs as the fun in Greenville continues
Triple-A: Nashville Sounds (MIL) 4, Norfolk Tides 0 Trey Gibson had the start today and pitched well despite taking the a loss. He allowed a run on a walk and a triple, but covered four innings and allowed just the one run. The game remained 1-0 until the seventh inning, when three runs came in […]
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 pull off miraculous escape, beat Astros in extras for sixth straight win
The Orioles may or may not be a good team. But right now, they’re pulling off a heck of a lot of improbable wins. The O’s stunned the Astros in Houston for a second straight game, somehow emerging with a 4-2, 11-inning victory to extend their season-best winning streak to six. It was a game […]
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 minor league recap 7/18: Boston Bateman injured in Keys loss
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 4, Nashville (Brewers) 2 This one started out with Cade Povich doing Cade Povich things, namely giving up home runs. Fortunately, although he gave up two of them, each was a solo shot, so on the whole, his outing was fine: Two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. […]
Orioles fans are giving Coby Mayo the first chance to fill in for Blaze Alexander
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. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. One of the Orioles storylines as the second half begins is that they’re going to have to find a […]
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 […]
Taylor Ward’s eighth-inning home run caps a 3-2 Orioles comeback in Houston
We’re into the second half of the season now, folks (not numerically, just post All-Star break), a stretch where a bunch of contending teams are going to go head-to-head in an attempt to separate the wheat from the chaff. So which one are the Orioles? More chaff than wheat … but only for the first […]
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 […]
