On Hall of Fame night, O’s lose pitcher’s duel to Cristopher Sánchez and the Phillies, 5-0
Well, let’s start with the good feelings. There was a sentimental feeling percolating around the Yard well before tonight’s game, with a team Hall of Fame induction ceremony that saw former O’s slugger Chris Davis, 1983 World Series Champion Storm Davis, and late scout Jim Russo all get their green jackets. Both Storm and Chris […]
Saturday night Orioles game thread, vs. Phillies, 7:05 ET
Friday night’s comeback win was about as good as it gets. Down two in the seventh, the Orioles strung together a four-run rally set up by Christian Encarnacion-Strand’s pinch-hit two-run double, and an emotional two-run triple by Gunnar Henderson. It felt like the kind of win that can really carry clubhouse momentum into the next […]

Orioles news: Hot stove already heating up in Baltimore
Good morning Birdland, It’s been a busy 36 hours or so in the warehouse!

Orioles stage seventh-inning comeback, defeat Phillies 6-4
For six-and-a-half innings tonight, this game felt like a hopeless loss. Brandon Young had a little bad luck and made a few bad pitches, which put the Orioles in a hole. And Phillies starter Andrew Painter rebounded from his terrible rookie season so far to look like the top prospect he once was. With the […]

Orioles-Phillies series preview: Last series before the trade deadline
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: this is a huge series for the Orioles. It feels like we’ve said that over and over again this season, but I promise it’s true this time. The Orioles and Phillies play this weekend with the Orioles still on the fringes of the Wild Card race. The […]

Here, in a season that’s been confusing and frustrating, are a few candidates for “Orioles Low Point of 2026”: Now, for a young hitter who’s also been confusing and frustrating, not to say quite often bad, here are a few candidates for “Coby Mayo Low Point of 2026”: Fans were starting to lose faith […]

This year’s trade deadline approaches, with four days to go until the point where teams are mostly locked in to what they’ve got already for the rest of the season. The Orioles are 2.5 games out of a wild card spot with 53 games still to play. Their playoff odds, as reckoned by sites like […]
Orioles minor league recap 7/30: Caden Hunter dominates in Double-A debut
Triple-A: Worcester Red Sox 6, Norfolk Tides 2 It was another tough start for Cade Povich. The lefty served up six runs on 10 hits, one walk, and four strikeouts across 6.1 innings. Most of the damage (four out of six runs) came in a nightmarish sixth inning. The bullpen was fine behind him. Nick […]
Orioles news: Trade deadline nears, Rogers wants to stay
Hello, friends. The Orioles are just more than two-thirds of the way through the 2026 season and it remains difficult to figure out just how to describe them. They are a collection of underachievers who are playing much worse than the sum of their ostensibly-talented parts. They are a resilient group of underdogs who refuse […]
Orioles pull off team’s biggest comeback in 17 years to beat Tigers
It’s over. We are so back. It’s over. We are SO back. It’s over. We are SO BACK! Like a tennis rally that seems to go on forever and you can only watch in increasing awe as it plays out, the Orioles veered between these two extremes on Wednesday afternoon. They played some absolutely atrocious […]
Orioles vs. Tigers discussion
It’s a “guys who are maybe about to be traded” matchup on Wednesday afternoon as the Orioles and Tigers close out their three-game series. The starting pitchers, Trevor Rogers for the Orioles and Tarik Skubal for the Tigers, could each be on the move regardless of what happens in this game. The losing team is […]
Do the Orioles have a Dean Kremer problem?
The Orioles have hung around the wild card race mostly on the backs of their starting rotation. Well, the rotation and the fact that the American League is filled with flawed teams. Kyle Bradish, Trevor Rogers, Shane Baz and Brandon Young have all pitched well over the last month. Young has provided Baltimore a chance […]

Orioles news: O’s suffer ugliest loss of the season
Good morning Birdland, Hopefully you were one of the fortunate people that did not watch the Orioles 14-0 loss on Tuesday night. It was ugly.

Orioles get dominated in every way by Tigers, lose 14-0
The Orioles were humiliated in the middle game of their series up in Detroit. Dean Kremer was roughed up on the mound, and the O’s lineup did almost nothing to fight back, losing 14-0 at Comerica Park on Tuesday evening. This was a miserable game to endure from an Orioles fan’s perspective. Even the rosiest […]
Tuesday night game thread: at Tigers, 6:40
The Orioles are one victory away from having their winningest month of the season. So far in July, they are 13-7.

The curious case of Christian Encarnacion-Strand
When the Orioles purchased the contract of Reds’ corner infielder Christian Encarnacion-Strand back in April, it was just another one of those low-profile moves we see from Mike Elias and the front office all the time. It was the latest instance of the “buy low and hope something good happens” mentality that’s seen Elias take […]
