Saturday night game thread: vs Royals, 7:05
The Orioles focus for much of today is on the future. They made a few draft picks, including seventh overall pick Eric Booth Jr., a high school outfielder from Mississippi. Hopefully a few of the youngsters they call on this weekend will turn into quality Orioles a few years from now. The 2026 Orioles, however, […]
Orioles Draft: Ty Head selected with second round pick
With their second round pick in the 2026 draft, the Orioles chose outfielder Ty Head from North Carolina State. That follows on the heels of their first round pick going to a high school outfielder, Eric Booth Jr. On MLB’s draft telecast after the pick, the analysts offered praise for Head as a player, describing […]
Orioles Draft: Eric Booth Jr. selected at #7 overall
The Orioles have kicked off their 2026 draft class by choosing a talented high school outfielder, Eric Booth Jr. from Mississippi. The lefty-batting Vanderbilt commit is almost certainly not going to go to college now. This was one of the top five or six players in the draft class and the Orioles got him at […]
Orioles fans have mostly given up on postseason hopes
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the 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. Now 95 games into their season, the 2026 Orioles are still mostly sputtering. They haven’t been able to […]
Orioles minor league recap 7/11: Lo Re leaves Delmarva game after collision
Triple-A: Syracuse (Mets) 3, Norfolk Tides 2 – 7 innings The Tides out-hit the Chiefs in this one by an 8-4 margin and still lost the game. You might be tempted to think that means that Syracuse got clutch hits with RISP and Norfolk didn’t, but you would be wrong: Syracuse was 0-6 with RISP. […]
Orioles news: O’s get thrilling win; MLB Draft starts today
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Even in a season that isn’t going according to plan, an immutable fact remains: life seems a little bit better after an Orioles win. That’s especially true when the O’s make it a dramatic win, like last night’s 5-3 takedown of the visiting Royals at Camden Yards. After Brandon Young’s bid […]
Samuel Basallo leads Orioles to victory with 8th inning homer
Sometimes, one small play in a game ends up ruining it. When Adley Rutschman didn’t challenge a pitch in the eighth inning that was called a ball, I thought that was the small ruining play. The batter went on to homer. The game was tied, and I assumed the Orioles would soon fall behind. But […]
Friday Night Orioles Victory GIF Party
It is Friday night. The Orioles have beaten the Royals, 5-3. Brandon Young turned in an excellent seven-plus inning start, and after he left with the game tied, Samuel Basallo delivered an absolutely joyous and righteous go-ahead home run to put the Orioles on top. Bring this energy into all of your most important tasks: […]
Friday night Orioles game thread: vs Royals, 7:05
The Orioles and Royals are both bad. Remember when they were both good? Those were the days. Well, until the playoffs came anyway. But let’s talk about something else. Brandon Young is pitching for the Orioles tonight, AKA the Orioles ace. His last start against the Reds wasn’t great, but everyone’s allowed to have a […]
Orioles mock draft roundup
This year’s edition of the MLB Draft begins tomorrow at 1pm with the White Sox on the clock. The Orioles, after their disappointing season, ended up with a little bit of bad luck when the draft lottery played out and received the #7 pick in the draft for their trouble. They had the fourth-best odds […]
Orioles-Royals series preview: Wrapping up the first half
While few analysts would have told you that either the Orioles or Royals came into the season as true World Series contenders, there was a consensus that they would at least be competitive squads that factored into the playoff race. With the unofficial halfway point of the season nearly here, predictions like those only get […]
Are the Orioles the worst baserunning team in baseball?
About a week ago, Sports Illustrated’s Jason La Canfora went looking for evidence to back up a hunch that’s been circulating in Baltimore for three straight seasons now: this team can’t run the bases. His July 1 piece on the Orioles’ fielding and baserunning woes laid out a bunch of metrics, and the picture wasn’t […]
Orioles minor league recap 7/10: Norfolk walks it off in extras
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 5, Syracuse Mets 4 — F/10 Norfolk let a two-run lead slip away but walked it off in the bottom of the tenth. Josh Walker kept the Mets off the board in the top of the frame, and Luis Vázquez drove in the automatic runner with a single to right field. José […]
Orioles news: Lineup choices, draft deciders, All-Star Game in Baltimore again?
Hello, friends. It is always more fun when the Orioles win rather than lose. That’s certainly true yesterday, when that would have been a painful way to lose and get swept. Instead, the O’s pulled off a comeback win to avoid the sweep. Check out John Beers’s recap of the game for more of the […]
Jeremiah Jackson’s clutch pinch-hit drives Orioles to 3-2 win over Cubs
The Orioles avoided a sweep and the weather on Thursday, as Jeremiah Jackson’s pinch-hit double in the 8th delivered Baltimore a much-needed win in their series finale with Chicago. A chaotic bottom of the 8th inning was the defining moment of the O’s win over the Cubbies, and for once the chaos worked in the […]
Thursday afternoon Orioles game thread: vs. Cubs, 1:35pm ET
Probable pitchers: LHP Trevor Rogers (6-7, 4.70 ERA, 65 Ks) vs. LHP David Peterson (4-7, 6.75 ERA, 68 Ks) Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ There have been grey clouds hanging over Baltimore since Fourth of July weekend, and there continues to be a figurative grey cloud hanging over Birdland. After building some hope with two wins […]
Orioles minor league recap 7/9: Watts-Brown stands out in otherwise tough night on the farm
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets 9, Norfolk Tides 3 – Game 1/F7 Cade Povich got roughed up in Norfolk’s first game of the day. He struggled with control, walking four across 3.1 innings, which (in part) led to the seven runs he allowed on six hits and two strikeouts. Cameron Weston came on to record the final […]
Orioles news: Now officially worse than last year’s team
Hello, friends. The Orioles have just passed a grim milestone. They now have a worse record than the team did through the same number of games last year. Even as pessimistic as I was about these jokers, I did not imagine this was a likely outcome. Here they are anyway. Last year’s Orioles were 43-50. […]
Orioles rally falls short in 9-7 loss to Cubs
The Orioles entered this homestand in need of a series win to keep their slim playoff chances afloat. Baltimore dropped the opener on Tuesday, and the team continued to spiral out of contention tonight. Pete Alonso gave the Orioles an early two-run lead, but Dean Kremer allowed three home runs in the fifth inning. Chicago […]
Wednesday night Orioles game thread: vs. Cubs, 6:35
The Orioles will look to get back in the win column with Dean Kremer on the mound tonight against the Cubs. Baltimore will face right-handed starter Colin Rea after struggling last night against lefty Matthew Boyd. Gunnar Henderson will be back in the leadoff spot tonight with Taylor Ward batting third. Adley Rutschman will bat […]
The Orioles need Colton Cowser and Dylan Beavers to take another step forward
One way or another, the Orioles are going to decide whether they are buyers or sellers by the end of this month. Perhaps they will come to the conclusion that many of you have already reached, or maybe Mike Elias will double down on this team’s diminishing playoff odds. Either way, the decision will not […]
Orioles minor league recap 7/8: Keys score walk-off win in 11 innings
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides vs. Syracuse Mets (PPD.—rain) The Tides and Mets were rained out Tuesday and will make up the game as a doubleheader later today. Double-A: Chesapeake Baysox 2, Akron RubberDucks 1 (F/10) The Baysox tied the game in the 8th and pushed across the winning run in the 10th to score a come-from-behind […]
Orioles news: O’s fall to bottom of AL East with loss
Good morning Birdland, It’s tough to win a game in which you have zero extra base hits and go just 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position. The Orioles proved that on Tuesday night as they lost 5-2 to the visiting Cubs. Andrea SK recapped the action for us, in case you missed it. If you’ve […]
Orioles can’t do much against Cubs lefty Matthew Boyd, fall 5-2
So, it turns out the Cubs are no slouches after all. And though it’s their offense that’s supposed to be a team strength, today the Most Cub-Like Player had to have been the starter, Matthew Boyd. The lefty hounded the Orioles all night, the way you thought a crafty lefty might. Through six innings, Baltimore […]
Tuesday evening Orioles game thread: vs. Cubs, 6:35 ET
The O’s are 4-6 in their last ten games, as the elusive four-game win streak seems no easier to come by than before. Over their last three series, Baltimore dropped two of three to the Nationals and the White Sox before trying, and failing, to complete the sweep this weekend against Cincinnati. Against a 50-40 […]
