Rico Garcia isn’t just a bright spot, he’s been a beacon of light
Few players on this Orioles team have actually exceeded expectations so far this year, but Rico Garcia is a clear exception. The 32-year-old isn’t just a standout amongst his underwhelming teammates, he is pitching like one of the best relievers in baseball. The top line stats speak for themselves. Garcia’s ERA is a minuscule 0.45, […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/18: Jackson Holliday hits a triple, Kjerstad goes 2-for-4
Triple-A: Charlotte Knights (CWS) 15, Norfolk Tides 3 Whoops. A day after Norfolk’s seven-home run block party, Charlotte returned the favor, scoring ten runs in the last four innings, on four homers of their own. Five Tides pitchers were victims of this assault: no one escaped with their ERA intact, although some had it worse […]
Orioles news: Gunnar Henderson had a nice weekend
Happy Monday, Camden Chatters! I hope you had a nice weekend. Things started off poorly for the Orioles with two losses to the Nationals, including an embarrassing 13-3 rout on Saturday. But they finished the series with a solid 7-3 victory to salvage one game. The offense yesterday was powered by home runs from guys […]
Orioles ride early offense to 7-3 win over Nats
The Orioles have played from behind far too often this season. Today they decided to try something different. Baltimore scored in each of the first four innings, and the bullpen stepped up after a short outing from Brandon Young. Gunnar Henderson, Coby Mayo and Colton Cowser all went yard, and the Orioles avoided a sweep […]
Sunday afternoon Orioles game thread: at Nationals, 1:35
Taylor Ward will bat first and serve as the designated hitter today as the Orioles look to avoid a sweep in DC. Ward will be followed by shortstop Gunnar Henderson and first baseman Pete Alonso. Samuel Basallo will do the catching with Adley Rutschman starting the game on the bench. Tyler O’Neill, Colton Cowser, and […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/17: Holliday homers in Tides win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 11, Charlotte Knights (CWS) 10 It was a real barn burner down in Charlotte last night. The Tides offense scored 11 runs on 13 hits without a single walk. The secret to their success? Dingers. Seven Tides went deep, including the rehabbing Jackson Holliday. He was joined by Johnathan Rodríguez, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, […]
Orioles news: Another pitching meltdown, Tommy Pham
Hello, friends. If the Orioles had been determined to do everything in their power to squander any good feelings or positive momentum from managing to win two out of three against the Yankees, the last two games against the Nationals would hardly have played out any differently. What was a close game yesterday got out […]
Hope turns to heartbreak as crazy 7th inning dooms Orioles to 13-3 loss vs. Nationals
After coming inches away from tying the game in the top of the 7th, a seven-run bullpen blowup in the bottom of the inning sunk the Orioles, leading to a 13-3 loss to the Nationals in DC. The Orioles offense finally came alive in the 7th after a lackluster first six inning for the Baltimore […]
Saturday afternoon Orioles game thread: at Nationals, 4:05pm ET
Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ or FS1 (National) Probable pitchers: RHP Chris Bassitt (3-2, 5.21 ERA, 26 K) vs. RHP Cade Cavalli (1-2, 4.02 ERA, 44 K) After an incredibly unlucky night for the offense on Friday, the Orioles look to even this season’s first Battle of the Beltways series tonight in DC. Most of Birdland […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/16: Holliday, Kjerstad continue rehab for Norfolk
Triple-A: Charlotte (White Sox) 4, Norfolk Tides 1 One might like to see better from a Tides lineup that has rehabbing big leaguers Jackson Holliday and Heston Kjerstad than to get just four hits in the game. One does not always get what one wants. Holliday and Kjerstad, batting at the top of the lineup, […]
Orioles news: O’s lose game and Westburg in same day
Good morning Birdland, Leave it to the 2026 Orioles to make a pitcher with an ERA near seven look like an all-star. Look, Zack Littell has been in the majors for nearly a decade and has put together multiple solid seasons. He’s not a random Triple-A arm making a spot start. But 2026 has been […]
Orioles drop series opener to Nats, 3-2
If there is one thing this Orioles team has been good at this year, it’s failing to maintain any momentum. They are coming off a feel-good series win against the Yankees and could have kept the good vibes going with a solid game tonight against a pitcher who has had no success this year. But […]
Friday night Orioles game thread: @ Nationals, 6:45 pm
I am going to recommend that the Orioles start off their six-game road trip strongly. Tonight they start a weekend series with the Nationals, who are not exactly a powerhouse. Then they travel to Florida to play the Rays, who are very scary this year. So let’s bank some wins! Shane Baz is starting for […]
Orioles news: Jordan Westburg had elbow surgery, out for the season
The Orioles have still not yet gotten one of the key parts of their Plan A on the infield in the 2026 season. Now, we know that they never will. The Baltimore Banner’s Andy Kostka reported on Friday afternoon that Westburg has decided to undergo surgery to repair the partially-torn ulnar collateral ligament in his […]
Orioles-Nationals series preview: The MASN Cup is no more
A matchup that was once known as the MASN Cup takes on a new identity this summer. The Nationals are now one of the many teams that works directly with MLB to broadcast their games locally. Meanwhile, the Orioles are back out on their own channel for the first since 2004, when they were still […]
Would signing an ace have meaningfully impacted the Orioles’ rotation?
Back on Wednesday, with evening showers threatening to spoil the Orioles’ series finale against the Yankees, the mounting clouds parted, and out from the mound shone a sliver of light: Kyle Bradish and his six scoreless innings. I jest, but Bradish had started this season with an ERA above five in his first seven starts, […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/15: Starters impress on the farm
Triple-A:Charlotte Knights (White Sox) 4 Norfolk Tides 1 Trey Gibson started and limited Charlotte to one run over four innings. After a brief stint in the Orioles bullpen, the organization limited Gibson to 65 pitches. He threw 41 strikes. The 23-year-old allowed four hits, three walks, and struck out five. Trace Bright piggybacked Gibson and […]
Orioles news: The O’s development system faces some scrutiny
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Today is the start of MLB’s “Rivalry Weekend,” which pits most teams across the league against their closest regional foes. You’ve got the Yankees versus the Mets in the Battle of New York. You’ve got the Rangers versus the Astros in Texas’s Battle of the Boot. You’ve got the, uh, Mariners […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/14: Norfolk smacks four homers in win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 9, Charlotte Knights (White Sox) 8 Jackson Holliday’s rehab continued with a 1-for-3 performance that included a walk. He played second base for seven innings. Most of the offensive damage came on home runs. Reed Trimble and Sam Huff both went deep, while Ryan Noda left the park twice, including the game […]
Orioles news: Basking in Yankees series win
Hello, friends. You know what? Things are a lot more fun when the Orioles beat the Yankees than when they lose to them. I know, I know, I’m making a radical statement there. It is the truth. Yesterday’s 7-0 win, in which the O’s managed to one-hit a suddenly-staggered New York team, sealed a series […]
Bradish rolls, Orioles offense comes alive in series win over Yankees, 7-0
Wow. So it turns out that, on any given day, even the Orioles are capable of looking like a behemoth. Despite the fact that inclement weather forced a time change for Wednesday’s series finale, and that they were facing a team that had demolished them 39-9 in a series sweep last week, the Birds were […]
Wednesday afternoon Orioles game thread: vs. Yankees, 1:05 ET
After a four-game sweep in the Bronx last week, I was in no hurry to see the Orioles face the Yankees again. This time it’s gone better, although far from great. In Game 1, the O’s snatched a late win, with Coby Mayo going yard after his team had been no-hit for six innings. But […]
The Orioles cannot afford to mess with Jackson Holliday’s development
Coby Mayo delivered the biggest hit of his young career on Monday with two on and the Orioles trailing by two. Mayo launched a go-ahead three-run home run in a game that he likely never would have played in if Samuel Basallo felt well enough to go. The Orioles scratched Basallo after the catcher reported […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/13: Figueroa collects six RBIs in Keys win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 9, Charlotte Knights 6 The Tides scored eight runs across the first four innings and collected 17 hits in a come-from-behind win over the Knights. Charlotte took an early 3-0 lead after loading the bases in the 1st and pushing across runs on a walk and two-RBI double. That lead was short-lived […]
Orioles news: Rogers pummelled in return, O’s injury crisis continues
Good morning Birdland, Those two back-to-back wins the Orioles had on Sunday and Monday were cool, huh? But yesterday felt like a slap back to reality. The 6-2 loss to the Yankees is easy enough to swallow. Losses happen in baseball. But the fact that Trevor Rogers got hit around does not instill much confidence […]
