This week in the Orioles minors: Baysox, Keys seasons come to an end
Welcome to the final installment of Camden Chat’s minor league week in review series. Two more affiliates, the Chesapeake Baysox and Frederick Keys, finished their 2026 seasons this week. Let’s take one last look at how most of the Orioles’ prospects fared before they headed home for the offseason. Triple-A Norfolk Tides The Tides are […]
Orioles news: O’s win in Alonso’s return to NYC
Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! The Orioles got off to a good start last night in New York, getting a 2-1 win over the Mets. In his return to Citi Field, Pete Alonso was hitless with a walk. You might forgive him if he was putting pressure on himself. Nearly 36,000 Mets fans showed up to […]
Henderson lifts Orioles to 2-1 win in Alonso’s return to NY
Both Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor entered tonight’s game with 299 career home runs, and both players left the game still in pursuit of the milestone number. Alonso received a hero’s welcome in his return to New York, but it was Gunnar Henderson that stole the show in the low-scoring affair. Henderson launched a go-ahead […]
Orioles vs. Mets discussion
Pete Alonso will return to New York tonight in search of his 300th career home run. The Polar Bear is expected to receive a warm welcome at Citi Field after spending the first seven years of his career in a Mets uniform. The Orioles signed Alonso to a five year, $155-million deal last offseason. Samuel […]
Orioles-Mets series preview: The Polar Bear returns to Queens
For a series that doesn’t matter for the standings, there’s going to be an electric atmosphere at CitiField as the Orioles visit the Mets. The Polar Bear is back. Pete Alonso, the Mets’ all-time home run leader, will face his former club for the first time since signing with the Orioles last winter. Alonso debuted […]
Podcast: Run the table or it’s over
If the Orioles were trying on purpose to dismantle all of the hard work they did in July and August of clawing their way out of a disappointing start to the season, the result would not look a whole lot different than what they’ve actually done in the month of September. The just-concluded weekend series […]
Solving Samuel Basallo’s late-season struggles should be Orioles top offseason priority
With the Orioles all but mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, an autopsy on the season that was can begin sooner rather than later. At a bare minimum that analysis should include a deep dive into the plethora of homegrown hitters that failed to meet their expectations coming into the season. Samuel Basallo’s immense struggles in […]
Orioles minor league recap 9/14: Wehiwa Aloy homers in Chesapeake’s finale
Triple-A: Memphis Redbirds (STL) 3, Norfolk Tides 2 The Tides fell, with starter Juaron Watts-Brown taking the loss. He didn’t pitch too badly, though, giving his team five innings with three runs allowed on six hits and two walks. The righty, acquired from the Blue Jays in 2025 in exchange for Seranthony Dominguez, had a […]
Orioles news: O’s lose series in Toronto
Good morning, Camden Chatters. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Orioles are done. Cooked. Finito. The miraculous run to the postseason ain’t happening. Start planning accordingly. The Birds haven’t yet been mathematically eliminated, but there’s no feasible path to the final wild card spot at this point. They made it […]
Blue Jays stomp Orioles 8-1 to win series
The Orioles and Blue Jays sent their top starters to the mound today as each tried to help his team claim the series win. Dylan Cease was not on his game, but kept the Orioles off the board through the first four innings. Trevor Rogers, on the other hand, looked very good through four innings […]
Orioles vs Blue Jays discussion
Baltimore Orioles @ Toronto Blue Jays1:37 EDT, Rogers CentreMASN/MASN+ It’s a battle of team aces in today’s finale between the Orioles and Blue Jays. For the Orioles, it’s Trevor Rogers. Rogers is a free agent at year’s end, and while his overall numbers don’t look especially impressive, he’ll get a big payday. Since June first, […]
Orioles minor league recap 9/13: Helsley, Bautista rehab with Norfolk
Triple-A: Memphis Redbirds (STL) 8, Norfolk Tides 1 It was not a great day for the Norfolk Tides. The offense managed just three hits. Bryan Ramos homered, Enrique Bradfield Jr. doubled, and Tavian Josenberger singled. As a team, they struck out fourteen times. Every player struck out at least once and Bradfield led the way […]
Orioles news: Bradish struggles, wild card odds
Hello, friends. The Orioles aren’t quite yet at “need to win every remaining game to make the postseason” territory, but yesterday’s loss puts them ever closer to that point. A golden opportunity was there for them, with a chaotic Blue Jays pitching staff pulling out a bullpen game. They didn’t do much with the opportunity […]
Blue Jays bash birthday boy Bradish, beat Birds, 7-3
The Orioles’ already narrow path to a postseason spot just got a whole lot slimmer. The O’s suffered a 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays, who jumped all over a visibly fatigued Kyle Bradish for an early five-run advantage and used a cavalcade of eight relievers to shut down the Birds’ bats. As of this […]
Orioles vs. Blue Jays discussion
Happy birthday, Kyle Bradish. Now go out there and get another win for the Orioles, what do you say? The Birds delivered exactly what they needed in last night’s opener in Toronto, erupting for five runs in the second en route to a 7-4 win. Unfortunately, the victory didn’t draw them any closer in the […]
Orioles minor league recap 9/12: Keys eliminated from the playoffs
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 5, Memphis Redbirds (Cardinals) 3 The Tides used a late comeback to win this one, tying the game in the eighth on a Bryan Ramos RBI single and then scoring two in the top of the ninth on a Creed Willems sac fly and Payton Eeles single. Nearly every Tides hitter contributed […]
Orioles news: O’s get a necessary win in Toronto
Good morning Birdland, The Orioles kicked off their road trip with a 7-4 win in Toronto on Friday night, but unfortunately they did not get any closer to the AL’s coveted final wild card spot. That’s because the Guardians also won, beating the Twins 5-2. The gap to sneak into the playoffs remains at three […]
Orioles take big early lead and survive late bullpen drama to beat Jays
If the 2026 Orioles are going to pull off a September surprise to find their way into the postseason, they’re going to need a lot less drama than they got in their game against the Blue Jays on Friday night. It should look easy when you manage to score seven runs. The O’s rattled off […]
Friday Night Orioles Victory GIF Party
It is Friday night. The Orioles have beaten the Blue Jays, 7-4, to open their series in Toronto. Dylan Beavers led off the game with a homer, the Orioles offense rattled off five runs thanks to six straight hits in the second inning, and things got interesting later but Rico Garcia was able to get […]
Orioles vs. Blue Jays discussion
We are coming down to the end of this thing. The Orioles still have a remote possibility of doing something fun, a decent possibility of doing something moderately interesting, and also a decent possibility of the wheels just coming off the wagon, like you tried to ford that shallow river in Oregon Trail and all […]
Orioles fans think team will end up no closer to or farther from playoffs
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Orioles fans and fans across the country. The Orioles have 15 games to play and it is likely that the absolute minimum record they would need over those games to get into a wild […]
Orioles-Blue Jays series preview: No room for error
Of the 15 games left on the Orioles 2026 schedule, six of them are against these Blue Jays. That’s helpful because if the O’s are going to beat the odds and make a last-ditch run for the playoffs, they need to leap-frog the Jays in the standings before chasing down the Guardians team that they […]
The Matt Blood firing: What else is going on in the back of the house?
Leave it to the Orioles. With just fifteen games left in this season, and the postseason most probably out of reach, this team has come up with one new, creative way to make headlines: on September 10, word came down that Matt Blood, vice president of player and staff development (and one of Mike Elias’s […]
Orioles minor league recap 9/11: Fabian goes deep twice, Bautista continues rehab
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 9, Memphis Redbirds (Cardinals) 2 Jud Fabian had a big night with a solo shot in the first and a two-run blast in the sixth inning. Fabian finished 3-for-4 with three runs scored and three RBIs. Even his double play in the third inning led to a run. Creed Willems recorded a […]
Orioles news: O’s lose Blood, Jays series begins
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles just had something called — and I hope I’m spelling this correctly — an “off day.” Apparently it’s a thing where a team gets to not play baseball for a whole day? I had forgotten that such a concept even existed, considering that the Orioles just traveled from St. […]
