Bassitt struggles in debut, Orioles fall 5-2
The Orioles have shied away from drafting pitchers in the first round under Mike Elias. The team recently acquired and extended a former first-round starter in Shane Baz, but Baltimore has opted time and time again to prioritize position players in the draft. Tonight’s opponent—the Texas Rangers—used top 10 picks on a pair of starters […]
Orioles-Rangers Monday Game Thread
Tyler O’Neill earned another appearance in the lineup after smacking a momentum shifting three-run home run Sunday against the Twins. O’Neill will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth tonight against the Rangers. Taylor Ward (left), Colton Cowser (center) and Dylan Beavers (right) will handle the outfield duties. Samuel Basallo will begin the game […]
Orioles-Rangers series preview: Searching for early momentum
After taking the series against Minnesota, the Orioles will continue their opening homestand with three games against the Rangers. Texas will enter the series after a rollercoaster start to the 2026 season. Star pitcher Jacob deGrom was set to start the second game of the season before being scratched due to neck soreness. The Rangers […]
Podcast: Reaction to Orioles opening weekend
The Orioles have unveiled a new slogan/marketing motto for this season: Fly different. Pedantic people among us will observe right away that this is a grammatically-incorrect pair of words. It is rather unlikely that this minor sin against language will have any impact on the on-field product. Grammar aside, this year does need to be […]
What we learned about the 2026 Orioles in season’s first series
One weekend of baseball is not enough to tell you much of anything about your favorite team. It’s a big sample size sport and we just don’t have much data yet on the 2026 season. Some players on big league rosters haven’t even seen game action yet. So any sort of good or bad vibes […]
Orioles minor league recap 3/30: Holliday rehabs in a Norfolk loss
Triple-A: Nashville Sounds (MIL) 6, Norfolk Tides 2 Even an 0-for-4 line in the box score is good to see when it means that Jackson Holliday is continuing to have a successful rehab from his hamate bone injury. That being said, this game was a dud for the Tides, who fell into a 1-0 hole […]
Orioles news: A wild win salvages the opening series
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Let me tell you — around the fourth inning of yesterday’s game, I was feeling a little grumpy. And I know I wasn’t the only one. The Orioles were in a 4-0 hole to the Twins in the rubber game of the season-opening series. The offense had continued its early doldrums […]
O’Neill, Beavers, Alonso lead late rallies to capture the series, 8-6
New beginnings. So much hope, so much promise. The 2026 season is brand-new, and so is Shane Baz’s career as an Oriole. This week the team announced a five-year, $69-million extension for the right-hander—all before he’d thrown a single regular-season pitch. The front office called it a “no brainer.” It almost feels like too much […]
Orioles Sunday afternoon game thread: vs. Twins, 1:35 ET
The Orioles and Twins close out the opening series this afternoon at Camden Yards, with first pitch scheduled for 1:35 p.m. ET. The series is tied 1-1 after Baltimore won a dandy Opening Day opener 2-1 before the Twins took Game 2, 4-1, with Kyle Bradish allowing a two-run Royce Lewis homer in his debut […]
Orioles minor league recap 3/29: Tides blow save, then walk off
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 7, Nashville Sounds (MIL) 6 – F/10 The Tides and Sounds played a back-and-forth game last night that saw five lead changes before it ended in extras. The bad news is that the Tides blew a three-run lead in the ninth inning. The good news is that the final lead change was […]
Orioles news: Shane Baz contract extension reactions
Hello, friends. The Orioles just can’t let us feel good about them for long, huh? The vibes were great yesterday afternoon around the Shane Baz contract extension, with excitement for the near future of the team from the front office and from a good number of the players. If only they could have sustained those […]
Bradish struggles, Orioles offense remains MIA in 4-1 loss to Twins
The Orioles unveiled a 2026 slogan, to much self-paid fanfare, that says: Fly Different. Setting aside any grammatical quibbles with this particular slogan or motto, if the team is going to live up to it, they are going to have to do something better than what happened last year, whether this is to be described […]
Orioles live game chat: March 28 vs. Twins, 4:05
The Orioles off day stayed busy with the team agreeing on a contract extension with Shane Baz, who’s yet to pitch for the team and isn’t pitching today either. Apparently the whole 26-man roster turned out for the press conference. That’s fun. That kind of stuff creates good vibes. The good vibes will be heavily […]
Orioles minor league recap 3/28: Six-run rally leads Norfolk to Opening Day win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 6, Nashville Sounds (Brewers) 4 — (7 inn.) The Norfolk Tides’ season opener was a wet and wacky one. For six innings, the Tides’ offense looked hopeless, garnering just two hits as they fell into a 4-0 hole. But the game flipped on its head in a wild, six-run bottom of the […]
Orioles news: Mike Elias continues his spending spree
Good morning Birdland, Could the vibes be any more immaculate? The Orioles followed up their 2-1 win on Opening Day Thursday with the news on Friday that they are signing Shane Baz to a five-year, $68 million contract extension. For the first time with Mike Elias leading the front office, the Orioles have made a […]
Orioles news: Shane Baz close to five-year, $68 million contract extension
The Orioles are staying busy even on the off day between Opening Day and the second game of the season. ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported on Friday afternoon that the O’s and Shane Baz are in the process of finalizing a five-year, $68 million contract extension. That’s a serious vote of confidence in a player who […]

This year’s Orioles Opening Day felt different
There’s a phrase painted on the back-right wall of the Orioles’ newly renovated clubhouse at Camden Yards: “Day One.” Manager Craig Albernaz introduced it at the team’s first Spring Training meeting. The meaning is this: one day, the Orioles want to win a World Series. It’s been a dream for years, a distant one. But […]
At Norfolk, the Orioles are stockpiling some impressive pitching talent
It’s a brave new world for the Orioles’ farm system. After years of the Orioles’ position player prospects outshining their counterparts on the mound, the tide has started to change in the upper minors. At Triple-A Norfolk in particular, there’s an impressive array of pitching prospects who appear poised to contribute to the Orioles sometime […]
Orioles news: An Opening Day win
Happy Friday, Camden Chatters! And it’s a very happy Friday indeed because the Orioles won their first game on 2026, a 2-1 victory over the Twins. Trevor Rogers pitched seven scoreless innings. The offense put together a productive string of singles and one big sacrifice fly to score just enough runs. And new closer Ryan […]
Rogers twirls a gem, leads O’s to 2-1 win on Opening Day
The Orioles’ 2026 campaign got off to a winning start on Thursday afternoon at Camden Yards. Trevor Rogers twirled yet another gem, shutting out the Twins for seven innings, before Ryan Helsley closed out the 2-1 victory in Game 1 of the year. Rogers picked up right where he left off last season. His velocity […]
Opening Day game thread: vs Twins, 3:05
Spring training is over, the bunting at Camden Yards has been hung, and a new season of Orioles baseball is just about to start. No matter the quality of the team on the field, or the outcome of the game, Opening Day in Baltimore is a special. The 2026 iteration is shaping up to be […]
The first Orioles lineup of the year is here
All spring training, I’ve been wondering how the Orioles would juggle all of their various considerations to set their lineup on Opening Day. Now the day has arrived and we’ve finally got our answer. Here’s how they’re set for the first game: Trevor Rogers gets the start. As a long-time Dylan Beavers booster, I’m bummed […]
Podcast: Orioles Opening Day optimism
Even for a dogged Orioles pessimist like me, Opening Day is a time for optimism. The team’s record is a blank slate and anything could happen this year. Maybe a lot of those things will even be good. The O’s aren’t starting off the season at full strength thanks to Jackson Holliday and Jordan Westburg’s […]
2026 Orioles positional preview: Infield and catchers
It’s been a long time since the Orioles could claim they had the best anything in all of baseball. Maybe you could say they had the best reliever in baseball ten years ago with Zack Britton. Perhaps, around the same time, you could argue Manny Machado was the best 3B in baseball. Since 2016, though? […]
