Orioles vs. Rays series preview: A rematch in Baltimore
When the Orioles left Tropicana Field four days ago, there was an air of hope around them—the feeling that comes from taking three out of four in the house of the AL East leader. Fast forward four days and the Orioles have come back to earth after being swept in Baltimore by the New York […]
Was the Orioles’ three-game win streak in Tampa a mirage?
Welp. What a difference four days makes. On August 16, the O’s were clobbering the Rays 10-2 to complete three straight wins in St. Petersburg, vaulting into sole possession of the third American League Wild Card spot. As of last night, they’d dropped four in a row, including a home sweep by the Yankees, tumbling […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/21: Kjerstad stays hot, Eyanson keeps dealing
Triple-A: Nashville Sounds (Brewers) 7, Norfolk Tides 0 Heston Kjerstad reached base in all four plate apperances, but Norfolk never managed to bring him home. Kjerstad tripled and also worked a walk. Bryan Ramos and José Barrero added the other two singles. Tides starter Juaron Watts-Brown failed to complete three innings during a disappointing day. […]
Orioles news: Pete Alonso’s leadership, wild card standings
Hello, friends. Just when you thought you were in, they shove you back out. That’s the 2026 Orioles guarantee. Three straight exciting wins against the Rays to start a tough ten-game stretch have now been followed by four straight losses, ground gained by those wins evaporated along with any fan excitement. A 6-1 setback to […]
Orioles swept by Yankees, fall six games below .500
The Orioles were swept away tonight, ruining every bit of goodwill and excitement they had built up with their series against the Rays last weekend. Tonight’s game, a 6-1 loss to the Yankees, had a little bit of everything bad. The offense could not solve Gerrit Cole. One big error cost the team a couple […]
Orioles vs Yankees discussion
After coming within one game of sweeping the Rays over the weekend, the Orioles are now the team in danger of being swept. This series is a letdown no matter what, but a win tonight would help things. Not just in the standings, where the Orioles are currently 1.5 games out of the final Wild […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/20: Dzierwa impresses again, Azocar homers
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 7, Nashville Sounds (Brewers) 5 Trey Gibson gave up a lead off homer to rehabbing big leaguer Sal Frelick to begin the game, but then sailed through the first four innings with no other damage. He ran into more trouble in the fifth, where he allowed another run, and then served up […]
Orioles news: Alexander nears rehab, De León switches to relief
Hello, friends. Pete Alonso hit a fair ball into the left field seats last night that should have been a go-ahead home run. Let’s just get that one out of the way right off the top. It’s unbelievable that the umpire did not call a fair ball live and it’s even more unbelievable that the […]
Controversial replay decision and disastrous 8th inning doom Orioles to 5-3 loss vs. Yankees
A series of unfortunate events in the 7th and 8th innings sent the Orioles to their second straight loss to the Yankees with a 5-3 defeat. With the game tied at 3-3, Pete Alonso stepped up to the plate with two outs in the bottom of the 7th. Lefty reliever Brent Headrick’s first pitch to […]
Wednesday night Orioles game thread: vs. Yankees, 6:35pm ET
Probable pitchers: RHP Chris Bassitt (4-4, 5.11 ERA, 40 Ks) vs. RHP Will Warren (8-6, 4.42 ERA, 117 Ks) It’s been a small emotional rollercoaster for Orioles fans the last week. The high of winning the first three games in Tampa over the weekend was met with the lows of 1) losing a very winnable […]
Orioles remaining schedule provides opportunity to “earn it”
It has become clear over the last few months that a flawed team will make the playoffs out of the American League. The Orioles, along with several other teams, have found a way to remain in contention for the third and final wild card spot despite sitting on the wrong side of .500. Reason would […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/19: Kjerstad helps propel Tides to walk-off win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 8, Memphis Sounds 7 The Tides took the lead with a three-run 7th inning and walked off the Sounds to earn a series-opening victory. Norfolk came into the bottom of the 7th down 6-4 after Memphis had scored six unanswered runs. Enrique Bradfield Jr. started the rally by reaching on an infield […]
Orioles news: Major injury updates for several key O’s players
Good morning Birdland, Those two days where the Orioles held a playoff spot were pretty cool, huh? We will remember them fondly. The team has dropped back to one game out of the final wild card spot after their 3-1 loss to the Yankees on Tuesday night. The Rangers, Twins, Blue Jays, and Guardians all […]
Orioles waste Baz gem, fall to Yankees, 3-1
It was a good-looking Shane Baz that greeted New York tonight. Not only did the O’s starter make a big first impression, striking out three Yankees in the first inning (and on three different pitches!—curveball, heater, changeup), he also pinched into the seventh and struck out a season-high ten batters. Alas, as my colleague Paul […]
Tuesday night Orioles game thread: vs. Yankees, 6:35 ET
So that was cool! The Orioles emerged from a grueling 10-game road trip with something like momentum, taking three of four from the AL-best Tampa Bay Rays on the road. The starting pitching was solid, the hitters clutch, and the defense frequently stepped up. Now, they welcome the second-place Yankees to Camden Yards. The Yankees […]
Orioles-Yankees series preview: The O’s face another AL East heavyweight
After a grueling 11-day, 10-game road trip, the Orioles finally return to Camden Yards for the first time since Aug. 6. And this time, they’re coming in with some swagger. The Orioles just went toe-to-toe with the best team in the American League, taking three out of four from the Rays in a hard-fought series […]
Did a four-game series in Tampa just define the Orioles season again?
There haven’t been many comparisons between the 2023 Orioles and this season’s team. The former was a 100-game winner, an AL East division champion and a team that historically outperformed the mediocre expectations placed upon them before the season. The latter currently has a sub .500 record, is scraping and clawing to stay in the […]
This week in the Orioles minors: Bradfield heats up, Estrada hits five homers
Orioles top prospect lists have turned over a lot since the start of the season. Between Samuel Basallo and Dylan Beavers graduating to the majors, players whose 2026 performance has changed their stock for better or worse, arrivals from the July draft, and prospects acquired in trade deadline deals, things look different than the lists […]
Orioles news 8/18: A sweep lost, Alonso named player of the week
Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! Yes, the Orioles lost last night. But you know what? I don’t even feel bad about it. There have been so many demoralizing losses this season, but last night was not one of them. After winning three straight from the best team in the American League, the Orioles looked on their […]
Orioles let sweep slip away, fall 7-6 in Tampa Bay
The Orioles took the field tonight in pursuit of a four-game sweep against the first-place Rays. The offense put the team in a position to pull it off, but the bullpen failed to hold the advantage. Yennier Cano allowed three runs in the seventh, and the Rays got the last laugh with a 7-6 win. […]
Orioles vs. Rays discussion
The Orioles will play the fourth and final game of the series tonight in Tampa Bay. Wrap-around weekend series are rare these days. So are four-game sweeps of first place teams. Baltimore can’t control its schedule, but it can dictate the results on the field tonight. The O’s won a pair of one-run games before […]
Which injured Orioles return will provide the biggest boost?
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. In defiance of what anyone could have imagined for the Orioles when they traded away the players they did before the trade deadline, they have not […]
Podcast: The Orioles have somehow climbed into a wild card spot
The Orioles are currently in possession of a wild card spot. This is not something that I thought I would be writing in mid-August. The idea of the Orioles getting into this position has seemed improbable throughout the season due to all of their flaws. This only seemed less probable at the beginning of this […]
One middling AL team is going to make the playoffs. It might as well be the Orioles
Despite selling at the deadline, battling key injuries for months, and treading water all season long, the Orioles find themselves in sole possession of a playoff spot with less than a quarter of the schedule left to play. It has been an unlikely about face that has seen the O’s beat up on the AL’s […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/17: A rehabbing Basallo drives in three in a Tides win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 9, Gwinnett Stripers (Braves) 8 The Tides went to the bottom of the ninth tied 8-8, but rallied for the game-winner in the ninth. Ryan Noda walked, advanced to third on a Payton Eeles single, and scored on a sac fly by Bryan Ramos. Norfolk fell down 8-3 in the third inning, […]
