Orioles minor league recap 5/15: Starters impress on the farm
Triple-A:Charlotte Knights (White Sox) 4 Norfolk Tides 1 Trey Gibson started and limited Charlotte to one run over four innings. After a brief stint in the Orioles bullpen, the organization limited Gibson to 65 pitches. He threw 41 strikes. The 23-year-old allowed four hits, three walks, and struck out five. Trace Bright piggybacked Gibson and […]
Orioles news: The O’s development system faces some scrutiny
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Today is the start of MLB’s “Rivalry Weekend,” which pits most teams across the league against their closest regional foes. You’ve got the Yankees versus the Mets in the Battle of New York. You’ve got the Rangers versus the Astros in Texas’s Battle of the Boot. You’ve got the, uh, Mariners […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/14: Norfolk smacks four homers in win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 9, Charlotte Knights (White Sox) 8 Jackson Holliday’s rehab continued with a 1-for-3 performance that included a walk. He played second base for seven innings. Most of the offensive damage came on home runs. Reed Trimble and Sam Huff both went deep, while Ryan Noda left the park twice, including the game […]
Orioles news: Basking in Yankees series win
Hello, friends. You know what? Things are a lot more fun when the Orioles beat the Yankees than when they lose to them. I know, I know, I’m making a radical statement there. It is the truth. Yesterday’s 7-0 win, in which the O’s managed to one-hit a suddenly-staggered New York team, sealed a series […]
Bradish rolls, Orioles offense comes alive in series win over Yankees, 7-0
Wow. So it turns out that, on any given day, even the Orioles are capable of looking like a behemoth. Despite the fact that inclement weather forced a time change for Wednesday’s series finale, and that they were facing a team that had demolished them 39-9 in a series sweep last week, the Birds were […]
Wednesday afternoon Orioles game thread: vs. Yankees, 1:05 ET
After a four-game sweep in the Bronx last week, I was in no hurry to see the Orioles face the Yankees again. This time it’s gone better, although far from great. In Game 1, the O’s snatched a late win, with Coby Mayo going yard after his team had been no-hit for six innings. But […]
The Orioles cannot afford to mess with Jackson Holliday’s development
Coby Mayo delivered the biggest hit of his young career on Monday with two on and the Orioles trailing by two. Mayo launched a go-ahead three-run home run in a game that he likely never would have played in if Samuel Basallo felt well enough to go. The Orioles scratched Basallo after the catcher reported […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/13: Figueroa collects six RBIs in Keys win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 9, Charlotte Knights 6 The Tides scored eight runs across the first four innings and collected 17 hits in a come-from-behind win over the Knights. Charlotte took an early 3-0 lead after loading the bases in the 1st and pushing across runs on a walk and two-RBI double. That lead was short-lived […]
Orioles news: Rogers pummelled in return, O’s injury crisis continues
Good morning Birdland, Those two back-to-back wins the Orioles had on Sunday and Monday were cool, huh? But yesterday felt like a slap back to reality. The 6-2 loss to the Yankees is easy enough to swallow. Losses happen in baseball. But the fact that Trevor Rogers got hit around does not instill much confidence […]
Yankees spoil Rogers’ return, O’s struggle with runners on base, lose 6-2
Trevor Rogers was ambushed in his return to the mound Tuesday night, giving up six runs in his first start in more than two weeks. That spelled disaster for the Orioles, who fell 6-2 in game of the series with the Yankees at Camden Yards. Before the game even began, the Orioles got some bad […]
Tuesday game thread: vs Yankees, 6:35
For the first time since April 25, Trevor Rogers is back on the bump for the Orioles. The lefty hit the IL with an illness that coincided with his shortest start of the year a few weeks back (1.2 IP, four hits, three runs, two walks, two strikeouts). Hopefully he is 100% now because the […]
Samuel Basallo is fast becoming the Orioles most important hitter
The overwhelming sentiment surrounding the Orioles’ lineup right now is one of frustration—a frustration primarily aimed at young Orioles who aren’t making the grade. Gunnar Henderson is currently enduring one of the worst cold streaks of his career. Colton Cowser and Coby Mayo both can’t get above the Mendoza line and often look lost at […]
Orioles minor league weekly recap: Aloy mashes 5 HRs, German and Dzierwa shine
As the Orioles try to decide which direction they’re going to take their 2026 season, every week we turn our attention to the youngsters who could eventually boost the team, whether in the short term or the long term. It’s time for our recap of the last six days of minor league baseball, with a […]
Orioles news: A satisfying comeback win
Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! It’s an especially happy Tuesday because the Orioles last night with a comeback win against the Yankees to start the three-game series out on the right foot. For much of the game, it didn’t look like it would be a happy ending. Through six innings, the Orioles had no hits off […]
Orioles dodge no-hit bid, ride Mayo’s blast to 3-2 win
Tonight’s game was filled with “here we go again” moments. The Orioles scratched an injured player from the lineup before the first pitch, the opponent took an early lead on a home run, and the offense absolutely refused to produce against a left-handed pitcher. Baltimore appeared well on its way to a fifth consecutive loss […]
Monday night Orioles game thread: vs. Yankees, 6:35
The Orioles will look to pick up their first win over the Yankees tonight. Baltimore found itself on the wrong end of a four-game sweep at the beginning of May. Taylor Ward will leadoff and play left field. Adley Rutschman will handle the catching duties, but Samuel Basallo will still start as the DH against […]
Orioles-Yankees series preview: Hoping this one goes better
The Orioles were on the wrong end of a four-game sweep the last time they played New York. Baltimore is guaranteed to avoid the same fate in this series as the Yankees are only in town for three. Baltimore lost three in a row before picking up a 2-1 win on Sunday. The Orioles found […]
Podcast: On discontent with the Orioles lineup choices
This time a week ago, the Orioles season was in danger of spiraling out of control as they were in the middle of getting laughed out of the stadium in every game of a four-game set against the Yankees. Since then, they’ve stopped the tailspin for now, winning two against the Marlins and one against […]
What’s behind Gunnar Henderson’s early season struggles?
While this Orioles team entered the season with plenty of questions, the shortstop position wasn’t one of them. Gunnar Henderson’s name was etched in stone as perhaps the most dependable piece of Craig Albernaz’s lineup. Now healthy and fresh off of a solid showing at the World Baseball Classic, it felt like 2026 was poised […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/11: Trimble, Aloy, and Irish go back-to-back-to-back
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 4, Gwinnett Stripers (ATL) 1 Norfolk wasted no time in this one, posting a three-spot in the first inning, courtesy of Creed Willems’ three-run shot after shortstop Payton Eeles and outfielder Johnathan Rodríguez reached. The next inning, Ryan Noda took a leadoff walk, advanced on a Silas Ardoin single, and scored courtesy […]
Orioles news: The O’s are out of the cellar, for now
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Good news: the Orioles do, indeed, love their mothers. They made it a happy Mother’s Day with a 2-1 win over the Athletics that averted a three-game sweep. While the O’s offense again didn’t inspire much confidence, they delivered one of their best-pitched games of the season, holding their opponent to […]
Basallo stands tall as Orioles hold on to beat Athletics, 2-1
Ahead of Sunday’s series finale against the Athletics, the Orioles gave off the usual signs of chaos. There was a roster move to shuffle for a fresh bullpen arm who nobody really wants to see. There was a day-of decision to have Keegan Akin go as an opener instead of Chris Bassitt making a regular […]
Mother’s Day Orioles live game chat: vs. Athletics
The Orioles season is once again in danger of spiraling out of control, sinking close to a point beyond which one cannot reasonably hope that they will revive their fortunes even if they improved their play. Last year’s Orioles did manage that revival, of sorts, since they ended up being just about .500 under interim […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/10: Four losses on the farm
Triple-A: Gwinnett Stripers (ATL) 11, Norfolk Tides 3 Starting pitcher Trace Bright had a rough night, including a six-run second inning where he faced 11 batters and allowed six hits, including a home run, two walks, and three stolen bases. Overall, he gave up eight runs in four innings pitched. Relief pitchers Cameron Foster and […]
Orioles news: Boos come out as frustration mounts
Hello, friends. First and foremost, a happy Mother’s Day to all the moms of Birdland. May your favorite baseball team deliver you a win. The Orioles have certainly not been delivering wins for the moms or anyone else over the parts of the weekend leading up to Mother’s Day so far. The latest poor effort […]
