Do the Orioles even know what they want to be?
The Orioles have an identity problem. If you were to ask another team’s fanbase what they knew about the O’s, you are likely some scrunched faces followed by an empty world salad. It’s no wonder. The team has toiled in mediocrity (or worse) for the last 2+ seasons. They just traded away the face of […]
Orioles minor league recap: Forret debuts, Azocar homers for Frederick
Triple-A: Buffalo Bison (TOR) 9, Norfolk Tides 3 Norfolk starter Michel Forret, recently (re)acquired from Tampa Bay for Tyler Wells, pitched well in his 2026 Orioles org debut: the final line isn’t his fault. Forret threw 4.2 innings and allowed two runs. But Yosver Zulueta allowed four runs in less than an inning as part […]
Orioles news: The O’s offense finally woke up
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Miracles do occur: the Orioles actually can score some runs every once in a while. Yesterday they released more than a week’s worth of offensive frustration by putting up a 10-spot on the Rangers, clubbing 15 hits, tied for their third most of the season. Pete Alonso erupted for his first […]
Orioles offense finally breaks out to avoid sweep by Rangers
Most things look easier when you score ten runs. The Orioles offense entered Sunday’s game with 11 runs scored total for the month of August. When all was said and done on Sunday, they’d nearly doubled that total, adding ten runs as they avoided a sweep at the hands of the Rangers with a 10-5 […]
Orioles vs. Rangers game discussion
The Orioles can pretty much either win today to avoid a sweep by the Rangers or else they can give up on even pretending that they might have a chance at a wild card spot. The offense has scored 11 runs in seven games so far in August. These two things are connected. Orioles lineup […]
Orioles minor league recap: Eyanson debuts with nine strikeouts in five innings
Triple-A: Buffalo Bison (TOR) 10, Norfolk Tides 8 Luis De León’s second Norfolk start wasn’t as successful as his first. In four-plus innings, De León allowed six earned runs. In the second inning, he allowed three runs thanks to five straight singles. He started the fifth inning with a home run, a single, and a […]
Orioles news: Offense still missing, defense still terrible
Hello, friends. Though the Orioles were within a half-game of a playoff spot just a few days ago, they’ve veered hard in the opposite direction and now it feels like it’s pretty close to where you can turn out the lights. Losing two out of the first three against the Rangers, the team they’re now […]
Orioles bats still missing, wasting Bradish’s nice effort in loss to Rangers
The Orioles offense wasted yet another good start on Saturday night, scoring just once in a support of Kyle Bradish as they lost their third consecutive game, a 5-1 defeat at the hands of the hosting Texas Rangers. Another night, another putrid performance from an Orioles offense that was supposed to carry this team day-to-day. […]
Saturday night game thread: at Rangers, 7:15
The Orioles are back on national television for the second straight game. Last night was Apple TV. Tonight, it’s FOX. Perhaps it is my own neurosis, but it feels like the O’s rarely do well on the big stage. Hopefully that isn’t the case tonight. If this team wants to stay close in the playoff […]
Orioles fans aren’t expecting to be in the postseason for a while
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. The Orioles entered trade deadline day earlier this week with a 2.5 game deficit to the third wild card spot in the American League. We have seen […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/8: Bassitt has strong rehab start for Tides
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 6, Buffalo (Blue Jays) 3 – 10 innings Of immediate interest to the big league club is that this was another rehab start for Chris Bassitt. There’s little to complain about in the results, as Bassitt pitched six innings without allowing a run, scattering three hits, two walks, and a hit batter. […]
Orioles news: O’s offense has gone missing
Good morning Birdland, Well, it was yet another putrid night for the Orioles offense. They have scored one run or fewer in four of their last six games. Their record in those four games? 0-4. Tough to chase down a wild card spot with a lineup that disappears far too often, The problem wasn’t even […]
Late call costs Orioles in 2-1 loss to Rangers
The Orioles have struggled to score for Shane Baz all season. Baltimore followed that trend tonight against the Texas Rangers, but they nearly made things right in the ninth. Christian Franklin’s first Major League hit could have evened the score at two, but replay failed to overturn an out call at home plate. In the […]
Friday night Orioles game thread: at Rangers, 8:15
The Orioles are back for another one of those “man, they’ve got to find a way to take two out of three” series. This one pits the club against the Texas Rangers. The Rangers (57-58) currently sit one game ahead of the Orioles in the chase for the third wild card spot. You can read […]
Orioles-Rangers series preview: A wild card spot is up for grabs
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: the Orioles are about to play a hugely important series. At this point, they’re all hugely important. With 47 games left and six teams within a game and a half of the third wild card spot, the O’s are going to need to start stacking wins if […]
The Orioles’ next wave: Nine young players whose roles just got bigger
Whatever speculation there was about Orioles GM Mike Elias being both a buyer and seller at the trade deadline, he didn’t do any buying, and he didn’t just tinker—the front office broke all our hearts, of course, by trading Adley Rutschman, their franchise catcher and 2019 first-overall pick, to the Red Sox. But they also […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/7: Dzierwa dominates, Kjerstad goes deep
Triple-A: Buffalo Bisons (Blue Jays) 7, Norfolk Tides 4 The Heston Kjerstad hype train is back on the tracks. Kjerstad walked twice and smacked a two-run home run in Norfolk’s 7-4 loss. Enrique Bradfield Jr. finished 1-for-4 and was caught stealing. Sam Huff went 0-for-2, Rece Hinds worked a walk and scored, and Creed Willems […]
Orioles news: Time for a Texas showdown
Happy Friday, Camden Chatters. The weekend has arrived! Are we still scoreboard watching? If so, after the Orioles lost yesterday they fell to one game out the final Wild Card spot. And the team that has that last spot just happens to be the team the Orioles are playing this weekend. The Texas Rangers. The […]
Lifeless Orioles lose dumb game to Angels, 4-1
The Orioles entered today’s game with a chance to pull into a tie for a Wild Card spot. And as it turns out, with the Guardians likely to lose today, the O’s would have done exactly that — if only they had actually, you know, remembered to win. Instead, they put up one of their […]
Thursday afternoon Orioles game thread: vs. Angels, 12:35
Shhh. Don’t say anything. Don’t jinx it. But…there’s a chance that the Orioles could end today tied for an AL Wild Card spot. It’s hard to believe such a thing could be true, after all the trials and tribulations and the often foolish play we’ve witnessed from the 2026 Orioles. But if they win this […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/6: Aloy homers twice as Baysox sweep doubleheader
Triple-A: Buffalo Bisons (Blue Jays) 7, Norfolk Tides 6 Oof. This one was a heartbreaker for the Tides, who carried a four-run lead into the bottom of the ninth and then coughed up five for a walkoff loss. Poor Yaqui Rivera was charged with all five runs, giving up four singles, a double, and two […]
Orioles news: Half-game back in wild card, trade prospect rankings
Hello, friends. After Wednesday night’s 3-1 win over the Angels, the Orioles have crept back within two games of .500 for the first time since July 19, the seventh game of the season-long seven game winning streak. Check out Stacey’s recap of the game for more of the lovely totals, including another fantastic outing from […]
Orioles hit three home runs in 5-2 win over Angels
The Orioles continued to shake off the post trade deadline doldrums tonight with another win over the Angels. We all know the saying of pitching, defense, and three-run homers. Well tonight it was pitching (excellent), defense (not embarrassing) and three home runs. The end result, a 5-2 victory and the series with win one game […]
Wednesday night Orioles game thread: vs Angels, 6:35
In last night’s game with the Angels, the first since the trade deadline, the lineup looked about as standard as we could expect. Christian Franklin and Carlos Narváez were in the bottom of the lineup, but everything else seemed almost normal. Today, against a lefty, things look a little weird. Colton Cowser and Dylan Beavers […]
Will the Orioles keep acting like sellers?
Sitting less than three games from a playoff spot, the Orioles operated exclusively as sellers at the trade deadline. Despite those actions, Mike Elias said Monday that the team will be “playing for the postseason the rest of the way.” The Orioles dealt away their only All Star and de facto captain to a division […]
