Orioles prospect season review: Aron Estrada
The Orioles have a number of interesting and exciting prospects who are now in their system. However, if you’ve been following my contributions to Camden Chat’s minor league coverage through this season, or if you read the title of this article, you already know that there’s only one prospect who is my guy: 21-year-old switch-hitting […]
Orioles news: Pete Alonso stays hot
Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! Last night, we got a reprieve from the misery that has been Orioles baseball lately. And we got it mostly thanks to Pete Alonso (who else). Alonso hit his 39th and 40th home runs of the season last night, powering the Orioles to a 4-3 victory over the Blue Jays. He’s […]
Pete Alonso powers Baltimore to come-from-behind 4-3 victory
After failing to score in their previous two games, the Orioles hardly looked like a team capable of overcoming an early three-run deficit. That’s why they play the games. Shane Baz allowed three runs in the top of the first, but Baltimore held Toronto off the scoreboard for the final eight frames. Pete Alonso launched […]
Orioles vs. Blue Jays discussion
Update: The Orioles announced that tonight’s game will start in a delay. The team said it would announce updates as they become available. The Orioles postseason hopes have all but vanished, but they’ll still play the remainder of their schedule. Nobody can blame you if you’ve checked out on this disappointing season. But if you’re […]
Orioles vs. Blue Jays series preview: O’s on the verge of elimination
After sweeping the Mets early last week, the Orioles returned to Baltimore with a clear goal: win their series against the MLB-best Brewers and keep themselves in the playoff race. Instead, Milwaukee won a back-and-forth, extra-inning affair in Game 1 and proceeded to shut out the Orioles over the next 18 innings to sweep Baltimore […]
Podcast: Looks like we’re stuck with these guys running the Orioles
Two big things happened in Birdland over the weekend. They got swept by the Brewers and finally buried their wild card chances for the season. The other, more long-term thing that happened is Mike Elias was going around sounding pretty sure that he’s not about to be fired in a week, and he said specifically […]
As Orioles’ focus shifts towards 2027, here are three top priorities
Mathematically, the Orioles’ playoff chances will remain alive for another couple of days, at least. Realistically, the 2026 season will soon be ending in supreme disappointment. If Mike Elias is to be believed, the planning for 2027 has already started. Elias addressed the media over the weekend. Among the topics were his expectations for leadership […]
Orioles minor league recap 9/21: Trace Bright pitches a dud in Norfolk’s finale
Triple-A: Charlotte Knights (CWS) 7, Norfolk Tides 4 A tough year for Trace Bright concluded with another dud, as the 25-year-old right-hander gave up six runs on three home runs in four innings. Bright started the season with Double-A Chesapeake, posting a 3.82 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in six starts there, but the transition to […]
Orioles news: Brewers sweep, nearing playoff elimination
Hello, friends. The Orioles are diving into an unfilled pool as the 2026 season moves towards its end. They really had a chance as this month began. It’s important not to lose sight of that. It really happened. They held a wild card spot as the calendars turned to September. Very little has gone right […]
Bautista returns, but Orioles bats provide no support again in 3-0 loss to Brewers
Another pitiful showing from the Orioles offense wasted an impressive Brandon Young start, and likely put the final nail in their 2026 coffin, as the O’s lost 3-0 to the Brewers on Sunday night in Baltimore. The Orioles bats have now been shut out for 19 consecutive innings. That streak began in the 10th inning […]
Orioles vs Brewers discussion
The Orioles have reached the point where they need to be absolutely perfect from this point out, and even that likely won’t be enough to sneak them into the playoffs. For a more modest goal of simply finishing at .500 or better, the team can still lose one more time. On paper, it looks like […]
Orioles minor league recap 9/20: Watts-Brown bombs in final start
Triple-A: Charlotte Knights (CWS) 10, Norfolk Tides 6 Juaron Watts-Brown’s final start of the season did not go well. He lasted just three innings and gave up seven runs. The Knights had a four-run first that included a three-run homer. Watts-Brown gave up three more runs in the third inning another home run, plus two […]
Orioles news: Elias and Albernaz staying, some change coming
Hello, friends. The Orioles added another disappointing game on an “honor a part of the team’s history” day with yesterday’s 1-0 loss to the Brewers. You would easily think that Trevor Rogers pitching eight innings while striking out batters would have meant a win on the day that the team hosted the honorary “retire as […]
Orioles can’t support ace-worthy Trevor Rogers in narrow loss to Brewers, 1-0
Today’s 1-0 loss should be a reminder to all of us Orioles sickos out there: much as we love this team, the 2026 version just ain’t it. Despite Trevor Rogers turning in one of the greatest starts of his season (even, perhaps, of his career), with eight one-run innings on just three hits and ten […]
Saturday afternoon Orioles game thread: vs. Brewers, 4:05
Look, it’s not like the reasonable among us expected to win every game against the Brewers, current owners of the MLB’s best record. But last night was frankly a bummer. The Orioles had loads of baserunners and yet—that old saw—couldn’t drive them in. The Baltimore Sun reports today that GM Mike Elias and manager Craig […]
Orioles news: O’s waste opportunity to gain ground in playoff race
Good morning Birdland, The Orioles had a golden opportunity on Friday night to gain ground in the AL wild card race. The fading White Sox lost again, which meant an O’s win would have gotten them within two games of that final playoff spot. Instead, they lost 6-5 in extra innings to the Brewers. It’s […]
Craig Albernaz puts on “Fire me!” clinic as Orioles lose to Brewers
In the final accounting of the 2026 Orioles season, there will not be a shortage of things that a person can point to as a representative explanation for why things have turned out the way that they did. Many of their losses have contained multitudes of such decisions, actions, sequences of play. They found a […]
Orioles vs. Brewers discussion
Clinging to ever-fainter AL wild card hopes, the Orioles are back in Baltimore to play the MLB-best Brewers over the penultimate weekend of the 2026 regular season. No big deal or anything, but the Orioles probably need to sweep this series, and definitely need to at most lose a single game, to hold on to […]
Orioles-Brewers series preview: MLB’s best team comes to town
The Orioles backed themselves into a corner where they probably need to win every remaining game or all but one remaining game in order to make the postseason. They responded to being in that corner by sweeping the Mets, a not very good team, in a series where the Mets fans were all continually cheering […]
Does the front office deserve credit for finding diamonds in the rough?
Last week Matt Blood, the Orioles’ vice president of player development and domestic scouting, was let go after seven years with the organization. It’s too early to say definitively why, but one narrative that’s seeped into the mainstream is that the front office is unhappy with how the Orioles’ draft picks have panned out. Recall […]
Orioles minor league recap 9/18: Anderson goes deep again
Triple-A: Charlotte Knights (White Sox) 5, Norfolk Tides 1 Norfolk and Charlotte entered the eighth inning with the game tied at one, but Alex Pham allowed four runs in the top of the eighth. Pham allowed a leadoff single, walked a batter, and allowed a go-ahead single to Korey Lee. Pham allowed another run-scoring base […]
Orioles news: The final homestand begins
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Only nine games remain on the Orioles’ 2026 schedule. We’re down to single digits now. Tonight, the Orioles begin their final homestand of the season, hosting the MLB-best Brewers and the wild card-hopeful Blue Jays before finishing their year at Yankee Stadium. You’d be forgiven if you thought the Orioles’ homestand […]
Orioles minor league recap 9/17: Three home runs lift Tides to win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 5, Charlotte Knights (White Sox) 2 Norfolk deployed five pitchers to get through these nine innings, and none of them recorded more than eight outs. Albert Suárez was the starter. He worked 2.1 shutout innings while giving up a hit, a walk, and striking out one. Dietrich Enns earned the win, though […]
Orioles news: Holliday, Bradish updates, sweep of Mets
Hello, friends. What a weird series we just witnessed. I’m not sure that I’ve ever witnessed other team fans cheering so much for an Oriole and probably I never will again. The circumstances surrounding Pete Alonso and the Mets, and the fact that he came over to the Orioles afterwards, are not repeated just every […]
Pete Alonso and Orioles offense launch four home runs in 7-1 win over Mets
After hitting a game-tying home run on Tuesday night, Pete Alonso’s 1st-inning homer on Wednesday kick-started a long-ball barrage that propelled the Orioles to a 7-1 win over the Mets. It took eight plate appearances against his former team for Alonso to finally hit his 300th career home run Tuesday in Queens. It only took […]
