Orioles news: Checking in on the AFL
Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! The postseason continued last night with the American League teams back in action. In the AL Central ALDS, the Chicago White Sox staged a come-from-behind victory with three runs in the sixth inning to go ahead and stay there. Guardians’ starter Gavin Williams struck out 11 but lasted just five innings. […]
ALDS Game 2 Open Thread
Yesterday’s action in the NL saw the Braves pull even with the reigning champion Dodgers and the Brewers take a comanding 2-0 lead over Manny Machado and the and Padres. Today, we shift back to the AL, with the White Sox and Rays looking to extend their series leads. From a former Orioles perspective, neither […]
Yennier Cano bounced back in 2026
The 2026 version of Yennier Cano was one we thought we might not see again. After a brutal 2025 season in which Cano was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk in late June and ultimately had a 5.12 ERA in 65 games, it looked like Cano’s run as an effective reliever might be over. But a resurgent […]
Caden Hunter pitched like a Top 100 prospect in 2026
The Orioles selected Caden Hunter with the 184th pick in the 2025 draft. It’s rare that a player can make a jump from the sixth round to MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 prospect list in only a year, but that’s exactly what Caden Hunter did after a dominant first season in professional baseball. Hunter spent two […]
Orioles news: How will the O’s solve their infield logjam?
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The MLB postseason rolls on, and yesterday brought two quality games in the NL Division Series. The Brewers and Padres played an absolute thriller, one that ended on Jackson Chourio’s dramatic two-run, two-out, two-strike walkoff single off of the unhittable San Diego closer Mason Miller, putting Milwaukee one win away from […]
NLDS Game 2 Open Thread
How many of you utilize the MLB app? In addition to the new SB Nation app, the MLB app is a daily stop for me. Unfortunately, the app opens with the final Orioles game showing as canceled. If you navigate over to the scores tab, you’ll see two NLDS games on the docket for today. […]
Orioles news: Yankees get embarrassed in Game 1
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Look, it sucks that the Orioles aren’t in the playoffs. Their 2026 season was an abject failure. They were bad and they should feel bad. There’s no way to overcome that disappointment. But in the absence of the Orioles, watching the Yankees fail miserably in the postseason provides at least some […]
Division Series Game 1 open chat
The Division Series begins today for both the American and National Leagues, which once again means all-day baseball. The AL has tomorrow off to start the staggering of schedules/avoid competing too much with the NFL, so get your fix today. This gives the AL teams three days off if a series goes five games, which […]
Orioles news: Arbitration estimates show raises for seven players
Good morning Birdland, There was no major baseball news on Friday, a planned day off for the playoff schedule. But that gets turned on its head today as all four Division Series will get underway. The day starts at 1 p.m. with White Sox at Guardians on TBS. Braves at Dodgers follows on FOX at […]
Dean Kremer’s tenure in Baltimore finally ended in 2026
This past season saw the end of Dean Kremer’s time in Baltimore, as the longest surviving member of the Manny Machado trade ended his time with the Orioles with the same frustrating inconsistency that colored his entire career. When it came to Dean Kremer’s role on the Orioles pitching staff, I always had the mindset […]
Camden Chat Pre-Season Contest Results
If you have been a Camden Chat regular over the years, you are probably familiar with our annual contest. Each year in March, we post a series of questions to get you thinking about the season ahead. This past March, we had 282 of Camden Chat’s finest submit their answers to 30 questions, and we […]
Orioles prospect season review: Brandon Butterworth and Victor Figueroa
During the Orioles’ frenzied trade deadline selloff in 2025, one of the last deals to come in under the wire was the biggest of them all: a seven-player swap that sent Ryan O’Hearn and Ramón Laureano to the Padres for five prospects. It was a trade that, even in a lost season for the Birds, […]
Orioles news: The Division Series matchups are set
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Round 1 of the Orioles-less 2026 postseason is in the books. With the Braves finishing off the Phillies in the sudden-death Game 3 of the Wild Card Series last night, the Division Series matchups are set. Because of MLB’s bizarre decision not to re-seed teams between rounds, the American League pits […]
Wild Card Series Game 3, Phillies v. Braves, 8 ET
Blink and you’d have missed it: three of four wild card series are already over in two games. The Yankees, Padres, and the White Sox all punched their tickets to the Division Series yesterday. There were good storylines in all three. Too bad, so sad, for the Red Sox and their truly MIA offense (but […]
Trevor Rogers’ strong finish has set him up for a big pay day
Despite all of the things that have gone wrong for the Orioles these last two seasons, one player stands out as a resounding success. Trevor Rogers came to Baltimore in a 2024 trade with the Marlins that, at the time, left many fans scratching their heads. Now, as he is on the precipice of free […]
Joseph Dzierwa pitched his way to a huge prospect stock boost this season
Disappointment is the usual thing for Orioles fans when it comes to starting pitching prospects. This long predates Mike Elias’s tenure as general manager of the team, or even his predecessor Dan Duquette. Sometimes people come up with names for groups of them like the much-ballyhooed “cavalry” of Dave Trembley’s time. Call them what you […]
Orioles news: Bassitt, others on team’s problems
Hello, friends. There are 174 days remaining until the next scheduled Orioles game. We are about two months away from the point where the league’s owners will get greedy and lock out the players in a negotiating tactic that the commissioner himself likened to shooting the players with a .45. At that point, there will […]
Wild Card Series game 2 open chat
Best-of-three series are weird, huh? The postseason just started yesterday and already there are four teams that could be eliminated today. To think that you battle and slog through a six-month, 162-game season to make the playoffs, and then it could be over in the blink of an eye. Or two blinks of an eye, […]
Kyle Bradish’s season ended up close to average. The Orioles needed more.
If you had been told back in March that the 2026 Orioles season would include Kyle Bradish making 29 starts for the Orioles and receiving a five-year contract extension during the season, you would probably be picturing something exciting happening. Things did not quite work out that way. There were ups and downs for Bradish’s […]
Ethan Anderson became a name to watch in 2026
Despite once seemingly having no path toward big league playing time, Ethan Anderson’s impressive 2026 campaign saw him rise to the top of Baltimore’s catching prospects and put him on the doorstep of the major leagues. This time last year, catcher was perhaps the most logjammed position of any in the Orioles organization. Adley Rutschman […]
Orioles news: More upgrades are coming to Camden Yards
Good morning Birdland, The first day of postseason action is in the books, and after some fireworks in the early slate, boy did the evening games disappoint. Austin Riley hit a late three-run homer to lift the Braves 5-3 over the Phillies in the opener. The White Sox jumped out to the early lead, then […]
Wild Card Round Game 1 open chat
Is there anybody out there who made some October plans back when the season looked bleak for the Orioles and then had to sweat it out a bit because, what if they actually rallied and made the postseason? I am in this group. Back in June when it looked like the O’s would never really […]
Brandon Young was one of the best stories of the year
Through 7 2/3 innings, Brandon Young was perfect. Twenty-three Astros up, twenty-three Astros down. It was August 25, 2025, and 33,654 fans at Daikin Park, not to mention a busload of Young family and friends from Lumberton, Texas, were watching an undrafted rookie flirt with the 25th perfect game in major league history, to the […]
Creed Willems missed his chance at the majors, had strong AAA season
Since being drafted in 2021, Creed Willems has steadily worked his way up through the minor leagues. An eighth-round draft pick out of high school, Willems hung around on the Orioles’ prospect lists in the mid-levels, but never did enough to really cause a stir (if you don’t count his kickass mullet). Willems spent all […]
Orioles news: Bradish surgery, Westburg starts hitting
Hello, friends. There are 176 days remaining until the next scheduled Orioles game. Whether a game happens on that date is not something that is certain at this time, and it will probably not be known until February, due to the coming ownership-induced lockout that will halt baseball until the owners either scale back the […]
