Orioles minor league recap 9/3: Aloy homers twice, Bautista continues rehab

Triple-A: Jacksonville JumboShrimp (Marlins) 8, Norfolk Tides 4 It’s been a tough adjustment to Triple-A for Tides starter Juaron Watts-Brown, and it didn’t get much better here. Over 4.2 innings he allowed seven runs on six hits, four walks, five strikeouts, and three home runs. The relievers behind him were solid overall. The rehabbing Félix […]

Orioles news: Bradish’s workload, Hunter’s prospect hype

Hello, friends. The 2026 Orioles rollercoaster ride continues. Over the last couple of days, we were reminded why there have been slightly more downs than there have been ups this season. Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s losses to the Rockies were particularly maddening, with such sad offensive outputs in Coors Field against the Colorado staff, with various […]

Orioles vs. Rockies Discussion

One reason why the Orioles are where they are right now is they just can’t keep up a consistent high level of play. This is playing out in miniature over the first two games against the Rockies. Monday’s game brought the highest of highs with Colton Cowser’s amazing game-ending home run robbery to give the […]

Recent moves give pinch-hitting Orioles even more options

The Orioles have not overwhelmed teams with their offensive firepower, but the team keeps finding ways to win games. Pete Alonso has generated some AL MVP chatter, and Coby Mayo looks like Barry Bonds against lefties, but the majority of the lineup has provided inconsistent production this season. So how does a team filled with […]

Orioles minor league recap 9/2: Bradfield Jr. tallies three hits in Tides win

Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 9, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 3 The Tides scored five runs in the 6th inning to propel them to a series-opening victory over the Jumbo Shrimp. Norfolk came into the bottom of the 6th down 3-2, having scored two runs on a pair of doubles by Bryan Ramos and Enrique Bradfield Jr. in […]

Orioles news: De León debuts, O’s win streak ends

Good morning Birdland, Being a .500 team was cool while it lasted! The Orioles dipped right back to a losing record with their 4-2 loss on Tuesday night in Denver. Kyle Bradish labored, only getting through five mediocre innings. Luis De León debuted out of the bullpen and gave up a two-run homer, which proved […]

Orioles suffer sloppy loss to Rockies, fall back below .500

I’m old enough to remember when the Orioles had a .500 record. Those were good times. The O’s couldn’t keep up the momentum of their series opener, dropping the second game to the Rockies, 4-2. Newly promoted Luis De León, making his major league debut, coughed up a tie-breaking two-run homer in the seventh after […]

Orioles vs. Rockies discussion

By gum, they’ve done it. The Orioles are a .500 team again. Now why don’t we see how much farther this ride can take us? The O’s got back to the even-water mark last night in the most thrilling way possible, on Colton Cowser’s unbelievable, gravity-defying, home run robbery that turned a certain walkoff loss […]

Orioles reportedly adding Heston Kjerstad, Luis De León as rosters expand

September 1 means roster expansion in Major League Baseball. Gone are the days where teams could call up as many players as they could fit onto the roster and into the dugout and bullpen. The Orioles and every other team now gets one extra position player and one extra pitcher to create a 28-man roster […]

What could be the biggest problem for the Orioles in the playoff chase?

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Orioles fans and fans across the country. The Orioles have finally done it. They’re back up to a .500 record thanks to last night’s late-night home run robbery by Colton Cowser that turned […]

Can Pete Alonso win the AL MVP?

This past offseason, Pete Alonso signed the richest deal in Orioles history, trading Queens for Baltimore and a deal for $155M/five years. Through the 138 games of Alonso’s Orioles career, you could argue the Polar Bear has been underpaid. Alonso has undoubtedly been the heartbeat of an Orioles team that, after last night’s win in […]

This week in the Orioles minors: Baysox, Keys continue late surges

As the minor league seasons start to wind down — with one week left for Low- and High-A, two weeks remaining for Double-A, and three for Triple-A — the Orioles’ four affiliates can clearly be delineated into the haves and the have-nots. The Frederick Keys and Chesapeake Baysox are surging, with the former headed to […]

Orioles news: O’s claim Luis Robert on waivers from Mets

Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters. We made it to September! The Orioles are still out west for the last few games of their long road trip. I personally find this stretch of games to be a touch on the ridiculous side. After an off-day on Monday, August 24th, the Orioles traveled to St. Louis. That kicked […]

Cowser’s home run robbery seals rain-delayed win in Colorado, 2-1

It’s just one of those things, I guess. The Orioles are playing some of their best ball of the season. The offense has been hot lately. They’ve been dispatching competitive teams, and moving up in the Wild Card chase. And so of course they’d travel to the thin air of Denver, where they’d face the […]

Orioles vs. Rockies discussion

Folks, Orioles baseball is getting quite interesting of late. The Birds have been playing capable, credible baseball, and now they’re within one game of the last Wild Card. The offense is, maybe not humming, but it’s providing thump and interest. And lots of power: the Orioles have 31 home runs in their last 18 games. […]

Podcast: The Orioles are taking care of business

The strange journey of the 2026 Orioles season continues, now with the team just one game back of .500 for the first time since the end of April. A whole lot of baseball has happened between now and then. A lot of that baseball was bad in May and June. Things have gone a bit […]

The Orioles are finally acting like a playoff team

With their 8-5 win over the Athletics on Sunday afternoon, the Orioles improved to just one game under .500 for the first time since April 30. The four months in between have included a tumble down the standings, a roster sell-off, and now a renaissance on the field. It remains to be seen whether the […]

Orioles news: O’s sweep A’s, pull within a game of .500

Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles, for all their trials and tribulations throughout this 2026 campaign, are on the brink of being a .500 team again. The Birds’ sweep in Sacramento has pushed them to a 68-69 record, the first time since April 30 that they’ve been within a game of .500. On six other […]

Henderson, Mayo power Orioles to 8-5 comeback win

Baltimore entered today’s matchup with the Athletics looking for a three-game sweep, but it felt like the team would be forced to settle for a series win after Chris Bassitt allowed five runs in the first three frames. The Orioles lose this game in April. They probably lose it in May, June and July too. […]

Orioles vs. Athletics discussion

The Orioles have an opportunity to sweep the Athletics today with Chris Bassitt on the mound. Baltimore managed a pair of close victories over the struggling A’s on Friday and Saturday. The team will look to build some momentum with a convincing result this afternoon. Blaze Alexander is back atop the lineup and will play […]

Orioles minor league recap 8/30: Kjerstad has three hits in Norfolk loss

Triple-A: Durham Bulls (TBR) 4, Norfolk Tides 0 Starting pitcher Michael Forret started off shaky but finished strong. He walked the bases loaded in the first and escaped with just a sacrifice fly. After a double and another walk in the second, he gave up another sac fly to make the score 2-0. Heston Kjerstad […]
