Defensive miscues doom Orioles in 3-2 walkoff loss to Pirates
After misplays from Anthony Nunez and Coby Mayo allowed the Pirates to tie the game in the 8th, a Nick Yorke walkoff single in the 9th doomed the Orioles to their second straight loss in Pittsburgh. Despite being tied at 2-2 heading into the bottom of the 9th, manager Craig Albernaz turned to close Ryan […]
Saturday afternoon Orioles game thread: at Pirates, 4:05 ET
Probable pitchers: RHP Shane Baz (0-0, 6.75 ERA, 4 K) vs. RHP Carmen Mlodzinski (0-0, 4.15 ERA, 8 K) Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ The Orioles’ Game 1 loss in Pittsburgh followed the same script we’ve seen far too often this young season: the starting pitcher gives up a big inning early and the offense struggles […]
Orioles fans are worried about the offense after early action
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. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Seven games into the 2026 season, the Orioles sit below .500 at 3-4. It is not what anyone in […]
Orioles minor league recap 4/4: Kremer has rocky outing
Triple-A: Memphis (Cardinals) 5, Norfolk Tides 4 One notable thing that happened here is that the Tides stuck with their original plan of having erstwhile Oriole Dean Kremer make the start for this game. That rules him out as an option for when Zach Eflin’s turn next comes up in the MLB rotation. Prior to […]
Orioles news: Eflin to seek second opinion on elbow injury
Good morning Birdland, The Orioles have not exactly started the year on fire. They lost 5-4 on Friday afternoon in Pittsburgh. That makes them losers of three out of their last four, alone in third place of the AL East. Across the board, they just haven’t been good enough. The starting pitching, outside of Trevor […]
Bradish scuffles again, O’s waste chances in 5-4 loss to Pirates
The Orioles’ first road game of the year looked a lot like the six games they played at home to begin the season. Their starter scuffled on the mound, particularly in one inning, and their lineup failed to make the most of their opportunities. On Friday evening in Pittsburgh, that added up to a 5-4 […]
Friday afternoon game thread: at Pirates, 4:12
For the first time in 2026, the Orioles head out on the road, but they don’t have to go too far. They will begin the six-game trip with a weekend in Pittsburgh. Thankfully, we won’t be seeing Paul Skenes since he just started on Wednesday. However, we will get the privilege of watching Konnor Griffin, […]
Orioles prospect preview: De León leads group to start Chesapeake’s season
As of last night, the Double-A Chesapeake season got under way. The highest-level Orioles affiliate that you don’t have to leave Maryland to watch is always a place with prospects to watch, at least as long as the Orioles farm system is well-stocked with prospects worth watching. This affiliate had a lot going for it […]
Orioles-Pirates series preview: O’s hit the road for first time in 2026
Through two series, the Orioles have proven themselves to be one of the most chaotic .500 teams in MLB. They’ve had well-pitched games, poorly-pitched games, offensive outbursts and days their bats fell silent. Despite dropping two out of three games against the Rangers, they finished the series strong in Wednesday’s 8-3 win. Baltimore will come […]
So far, the Orioles’ offense is showing its colors
In 2025, the Orioles were supposed to be contenders to make a run at the AL East and deep into the postseason. Instead, they finished 75-87, in last place, with ineffectiveness a big problem on offense. Baltimore’s hitters batted a collective .235 (tied for 24th in MLB) and posted a .699 OPS (21st). Injuries shredded […]
Orioles minor league recap 4/3: Bright K’s nine in Baysox win
Triple-A: Memphis Redbirds (Cardinals) 6, Norfolk Tides 2 Trey Gibson was not particularly sharp over four innings last night. Gibson allowed four runs (three earned) on nine hits, including a home run, a walk and three strikeouts. Baltimore’s second ranked pitching prospect (MLB Pipeline) allowed a leadoff homer in the second before relinquishing two […]
Orioles news: Pitching depth tested, fan strength in Maryland
Hello, friends. The Orioles will be back at it today after having the day off yesterday. Don’t forget that this is the home opener game for Pittsburgh, which means the very atypical Friday game time of 4:12pm Eastern time. If you show up at 6:30 or 7 wondering when the game is going to start, […]
Orioles minor league recap 4/2: Holliday doubles, Kittredge struggles in Norfolk loss
Triple-A: Memphis Redbirds (Cardinals) 4, Norfolk Tides 3 – F/10 The Tides dropped their third straight game on Wednesday afternoon in Memphis. The pitching staff coughed up two different leads, the offense left 10 runners on base, and it was a mixed bag of results for the Orioles’ pair of rehabbing big leaguers. Jackson Holliday […]
Orioles news: Suárez returns, Basallo makes history
Hello, friends. It only felt for a couple of days there like the Orioles were going to lose every game they ever play again. Thanks to Trevor Rogers and a breakout day from the offense, they were able to avoid a sweep by the Rangers with an 8-3 victory yesterday. Check out my recap of […]
Orioles offense breaks out behind strong Rogers start in 8-3 victory
What a difference a day makes. After two games of a frustrating lack of offense and problems with the starting pitching, the Orioles came into Wednesday afternoon looking to avoid a sweep by the Rangers with #1 starter Trevor Rogers on the mound. Even with the challenge of Texas pitcher Nathan Eovaldi awaiting them, the […]
Orioles game live chat: April 1 vs. Rangers, 12:35
It already feels like the Orioles are teetering on the edge of the abyss. That’s being dramatic, of course. They’ve only played five games out of 162, which is 3.1% of a baseball season. If the Orioles went 2-3 over any random stretch in June or July, no one would blink at that. But here […]
Orioles news: Zach Eflin to IL, Albert Suárez selected
Ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Rangers, the Orioles did as they signaled last night and placed pitcher Zach Eflin on the 15-day injured list with right elbow discomfort. The corresponding move is to select the contract of Albert Suárez from Triple-A Norfolk. Suárez was removed from the 40-man roster over the offseason and now […]
What to make of some early struggles by Tyler Wells
Happy April Fools day, everyone! I don’t have a trick for you, although some may call any analysis after only five games a “joke.” We’ll call this one an “observation” from Baltimore’s first homestand just to be safe. The Orioles entered the season with plenty of uncertainty in the bullpen. New closer Ryan Helsley looks […]
Orioles minor league recap 4/1: Holliday collects two hits in Norfolk
Triple-A: Memphis Redbirds 10, Norfolk Tides 5 Jackson Holliday registered his first two hits on his rehab assignment, but it wasn’t enough to power the Tides to a win over the Redbirds. Norfolk fell behind early in the 2nd, thanks to a two-out rally from Memphis. Cade Povich gave up three straight two-out doubles to […]
Orioles news: Eflin injury will be early test of Orioles pitching depth
Good morning Birdland, You remember all of that starting pitching depth that Mike Elias was excited about? It’s probably going to be put to the test right away. That’s because Zach Eflin made it through just 3.2 innings of his season debut on Tuesday night before he had to leave with an apparent injury. We […]
Bullpen struggles after Zach Eflin leaves early in 8-5 loss to Rangers
The Orioles were forced to turn to their bullpen early Tuesday night, which ended in disaster as the Rangers scored seven runs against the pen to down the O’s 8-5. After starter Zach Eflin left with two outs in the 4th, the Orioles’ pen began a rollercoaster ride that had way more downs than ups. […]
Orioles Tuesday night game thread: vs. Rangers, 6:35pm ET
Probable pitchers: RHP Zach Eflin (6-5, 5.93 ERA, 71.1 IP, 50 Ks in 2025) vs. RHP Jacob deGrom Four games into the Orioles season and we’ve already gotten a solid glimpse at the volatile nature of this O’s team. We’ve seen a great outing from Trevor Rogers and several middling outings from the rest of […]

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.

Orioles rotation: Grading the first starts of 2026
Much of the focus X this past offseason centered (as it always seems to) on the Orioles’ ability to upgrade their pitching rotation. Mike Elias and the front office may not have traded for Tarik Skubal or signed a top free agent (Cease, Valdez, Suarez), but they did show a refreshing aggressiveness in adding starting […]
Orioles news: Different faces getting familiar results
Hello, friends. As the now-old movie quote goes, “Oh no, we suck again!” The Orioles were back at it last night, not convincing anybody that anything is going to be different this year no matter how many slogans they put out. They dropped a 5-2 game to the Texas Rangers to start off their three-game […]
