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 […]
Baz’s mistakes doom impotent O’s offense in 6-2 loss to the A’s
This game was summed up for me by two innings. Be warned; it’s not pretty. In the top of the third, the Athletics’ Brent Rooker came to the plate with two on and one out. Orioles starter Shane Baz had already given up a four-pitch walk and a single. Then, with the right-hitting Rooker up […]
Orioles Saturday afternoon game thread, 4:05pm ET
OK, so that was lackluster. The Orioles did it again on Friday night, taking a pedestrian starter in Jacob Lopez (err, that’s generous, even for someone with a 6.60 ERA entering last night) and making him look like an ace. They managed just two runs off of Lopez, both on solo home runs. So does […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/9: Keys win wild slugfest on walkoff homer
Triple-A: Gwinnett Stripers (Braves) 9, Norfolk Tides 1 — Game 1 (7 inn.) You wouldn’t know it by the final score, but this was a one-run game until the last inning, the seventh, when the Stripers erupted for seven runs to turn it into a blowout. Reliever Gerald Ogando got torched for five runs in […]
Orioles news: Baltimore bats continue to struggle
Good morning Birdland, The Orioles offense is a three-man operation at the moment: Pete Alonso, Adley Rutschman, and Samuel Basallo. All three of them contributed on Friday night, going a combined 4-for-9 with two home runs, three runs scored, and three RBI. That’s with Basallo beginning the day on the bench in order to catch […]
Orioles defense and hitting falters again in 4-3 loss to A’s
Two things have been true about the Orioles this season: their defense is terrible, and they can’t hit lefties. Both of these issues were front and center in tonight’s loss to the Athletics. Starting pitcher Kyle Bradish was as good as he’s looked all year, but the offense managed just four hits against the A’s […]
Orioles Friday night game thread: vs Athletics, 7:05
The Orioles are back home after a brutal 2-5 road trip. Tonight starts a six-game homestand with three games vs the Athletics followed by three games vs the Yankees. It would behoove the Orioles to get off to a good start against the A’s. The A’s are, in fact, a first-place team. They are just […]
Orioles-Athletics series preview: The AL West leaders come to Baltimore
In 2025, the Orioles and the Athletics were largely the same team. They finished within one game of each other (75 vs. 76 wins). They each sported young, promising stars—Gunnar Henderson for the O’s and Nick Kurtz for the A’s. And they were both largely undone by inconsistent pitching, with Baltimore finishing 26th in ERA […]
Mayo and Cowser: The Patience Test
For these Orioles, after the rotten 2025 they had, one thing was supposed to be true this year: this would be a lineup that could weather bad injury luck. Mike Elias signed Pete Alonso to a five-year, $155 million deal, added competent veteran outfielders in Taylor Ward and Leody Taveras, and supplemented the infield depth. […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/8: Aloy and Honeycutt go deep
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides vs. Gwinnett Stripers (Braves) PPD (inclement weather) The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader today Double-A: Chesapeake Baysox 4, Altoona Curve (Pirates) 3 The Baysox battled back with a two-run eighth to secure a 4-3 victory over the Curve. Brandon Butterworth, Frederick Bencosme and Ethan Anderson all walked […]
Orioles news: An ugly loss and another pitcher injury
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles’ get-right series against the Marlins took a wrong turn at the end. Not only did the O’s fail to complete the sweep by losing in the dumbest way imaginable — a walkoff throwing error — but they also suffered another injury to a starting pitcher. Cade Povich left his […]
Marlins walk off Orioles on 9th-inning error in 4-3 loss
A series of missed opportunities and a Coby Mayo 9th-inning error sunk the Orioles Thursday, as the Marlins walked off the O’s for a 4-3 loss. After the O’s tied the game in the 8th but couldn’t score in the top of the 9th, Andrew Kittredge entered to try and force extras. The start of […]
Orioles Thursday night game thread: at Marlins, 6:40pm ET
Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ Probable pitchers: LHP Cade Povich (1-1, 4.41 ERA, 11 K) vs. RHP Max Meyer (2-0, 2.68 ERA, 40 K) Turns out the only thing the Orioles needed to rejuvenate their season was a quick trip down to Miami. After being outscored 39-10 during a four-game sweep in the Bronx, the O’s […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/7: Chesapeake erupts for 19 runs, hits five homers
Triple-A: Gwinnett Stripers (Braves) 8, Norfolk Tides 6 Norfolk’s offense did some good things in the losing effort. José Barrero hit two home runs, bringing his season total to six. Creed Willems added a two-run shot, which was also his sixth round-tripper of the year. The only other RBI came from Christian Encarnacion-Strand, who went […]
Orioles news: Marlins series shows outline of possible rebound
Hello, friends. Here’s a hot take: It’s a lot more fun when the Orioles win than when they lose. We thankfully got another reminder of the fun of winning last night as the team kept piling on runs against the Marlins, eventually winning 7-4 to guarantee a win in the three-game set. Check out Alex […]
Young settles in, Orioles take series with 7-4 win over Miami
For the second consecutive game, the Orioles jumped ahead with three-runs in the first inning. Unfortunately, for the second consecutive game, Baltimore failed to hold its early lead. The Birds gave three back in the first, but Brandon Young found his groove. The offense kept its foot on the gas, and Young delivered a quality […]
Wednesday night Orioles game thread: at Marlins, 6:40
The Orioles found some momentum yesterday with a thrilling 9-7 victory. Baltimore bounced back from a brutal four-game sweep in New York over the weekend, and the O’s will look to take another step in the right direction with Brandon Young on the mound tonight. Young impressed in his first two outings before hitting a […]
Orioles injuries leave no room for player regression
Despite a gutsy win last night, the Orioles are playing like a bad baseball team right now. There’s no point in sugar coating things after that long weekend in New York. They haven’t been eliminated from playoff contention, and last night’s result helped, but things still look bleak in Birdland. Maybe we’ll look back on […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/6: Dzierwa dominates in Keys victory
Triple-A: Gwinnett Stripers 5, Norfolk Tides 3 The Stripers scored two runs in the 7th and the 8th as the Tides dropped the series opener with a come-from-behind loss in Norfolk. The Tides fell behind early thanks to a Gwinnett homer in the top of the 3rd. Norfolk starter Nestor German left a fastball over […]
Orioles news: Orioles snap losing streak, show promise on offense
Good morning Birdland, Our five-game nightmare is over! The Orioles got back into the win column on Tuesday night, beating the Marlins 9-7. The offense gets the credit for the win. Each time the Marlins would claw their way back into the game, the Baltimore bats would nudge it just a little further away. Pete […]
Basallo, Alonso lead O’s to 9-7 win, snap five-game skid
The Orioles’ five-game losing streak is over! They beat the Marlins 9-7 on Tuesday night in Miami, bringing an end to the ugly stretch of play that plagued them over the weekend. It was a game that was highlighted by impressive offensive performances, which covered up some questionable work on the mound. The bats came […]
Tuesday game thread: at Marlins, 6:40
It’s been a rough couple of days for the Orioles. That series in the Bronx was an absolute disaster, and it likely has the entire clubhouse on edge. Those games felt like they were from another era. It had early-2000s vibes, a time when the Yankees still had most of the players from their dynasty […]
Orioles-Marlins series preview: A trip to Miami
Wow that was ugly. After a four-game sweep at the hands of the Yankees, the Orioles are making like the snowbirds, leaving the Bronx for the sunnier climate of Miami, and frankly, it’s a relief. The Marlins are a less scary opponent, but they can’t be taken lightly, either. (And these hot-and-cold Orioles have had […]
The fatal flaws dooming this Orioles team
The Orioles went into New York this past Friday trying to prove they were better than their middling record. Instead, they walked away on the wrong end of a four-game sweep, looking more like a team trying to avoid a last-place finish than one contending for a playoff spot. Each of the four losses in […]
