Latest news and updates about the Orioles
Good morning Birdland, This Orioles team is just not fun to watch right now. They lost again on Tuesday night, a 4-1 defeat to the AL-leading Tampa Bay Rays. At 21-28, the O’s are back in the division cellar, among the absolute worst teams in the entire sport. Once again, the offense was basically a […]
This game got off to an inauspicious start with a leadoff home run by Taylor Ward, but this was otherwise yet another persistent team effort to lead to the club’s 32nd win of the season as well as their eighth consecutive series win. Ward’s homer was no cheapy as it was a no-doubter that would […]
One night after the Orioles lost to the Rays because their pitching staff imploded, they lost again to the Rays because their offense failed to show up. Gotta hand it to the O’s — they might always lose, but they’re always keeping it fresh! The O’s suffered a 4-1 defeat at Tropicana Field in game […]
Three weeks ago, the Orioles visited the first-place AL East team — the Yankees at the time — and got utterly destroyed, losing all four games by a combined total of 39-10. Last night, they again visited the first-place AL East team — which is now the Rays — and got utterly destroyed in the […]
You can’t really call a game in mid-May with the team still in comfortable playoff position and only two games behind the leaders a “must win,” but for vibes reasons, the Yankees sure could’ve used a victory on Monday. They got one, but it was quite the nerve-wracker. For one, they had to come from […]
Yesterday, the Orioles announced the return of infielder Jackson Holliday to the roster. Holliday’s activation ends a 3+ month stint on the IL after surgery to repair a broken hamate bone in his right hand. Originally, the expectation was that the former No.1 overall pick would make his return sometime in mid-April. Then again, the […]
The promotions have begun. If you were waiting to go see this year’s possible breakout pitching prospect Joseph Dzierwa in Frederick, tough luck, because he’s headed to Double-A. You’ll have to find him now in Bowie, where the team that once called itself Bowie and now calls itself Chesapeake plays its home games. We can […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Somewhere, on a “Days Since Orioles’ Last Humiliation” sign, a sad-sack intern is resetting the counter to zero. Look, we all knew that the Birds’ visit to Tropicana Field, home of the American League’s best team with the majors’ best home record, had a strong likelihood of going sideways. But even […]
To start off the evening, we had a patented dome field advantage at One Trop Drive. There was a thunderstorm that passed directly over Tropicana Field for about the first hour of tonight’s contest, and had it been 2025 we might not have got the ballgame in. Tampa Bay placed seven right-handed hitters in tonight’s […]
Imagine I told you that the Orioles went into Tropicana Field tonight and got to starting pitcher Shane McClanahan for four runs in five innings. You’d be excited, right? McClanahan is one of the best lefties in baseball this year, and the Orioles are terrible against lefties. He came into this game on a 21.2-inning […]
The many travels of Michael Siani continued on Monday, with the outfielder claimed by the Baltimore Orioles off waivers from the Dodgers. He’ll start off with his new organization in Triple-A Norfolk. Siani was designated for assignment last Tuesday when the Dodgers traded for another defense-forward outfielder in Alek Thomas. In 29 games for Triple-A […]
The Orioles start a very tough stretch of baseball tonight. Six of their next nine games are against the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays, who have the most wins in the American League. You can check out details of the Rays’ season so far in our series preview, but suffice it to say they have […]
The upswing of the past few weeks has turned to a harsh downswing. The Yankees went on a terrible road trip last week, getting swept by the Brewers before losing two of three to both the Orioles and Mets — the first was an understandable blip on the radar, but the latter two are teams […]
After winning the first 2 games of the series against the Orioles, the Nationals squandered their opportunity to push above the .500 mark in a 7-3 loss in the series finale. They now have another chance to accomplish that, as they’re set to square off against the New York Mets in a 4-game series. The […]
Back in March, if someone had said that the first Orioles-Rays series of 2026 would pit a 30-15 team against a 21-26 one, would you have correctly matched each team to its record? In most preseason prognostications of the AL East, pundits projected a tough, four-team race for the division title — and the Rays […]
This time a week ago, all anyone could really do was dread the idea of the Orioles playing more games against the Yankees. After every game of the previous four-game set went embarrassingly badly for the O’s, another Yankees series could have been the thing that spins this season out of control. In this week’s […]
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, […]
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 […]
What an awful road trip. The Yankees got swept in Milwaukee, lost two of three to an underwhelming-as-hell Orioles team, and then did the same against the Mets, who entered as one of the worst teams in baseball. The 2-7 trip ended when David Bednar couldn’t hold a three-run lead in the ninth, evaporating the […]
The Cubs claimed right-hander Christian Roa off of waivers from the Orioles and assigned him to Triple-A Iowa. The Cubs are Roa’s fourth team this year already. Iowa blew a two-run lead in the ninth. Knoxville rallied after trailing by two in the ninth. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs lost their seventh-straight game, 4-3 to […]
After today’s loss to the Orioles, I could focus on the negatives, but I do not think that is the story of this weekend. Even though the Nats could not pull off the sweep, it was still a very successful weekend in the nation’s capital. The Nats did something they have not done in a […]
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 […]
After a deeply gratifying win to get to .500 yesterday, the Nats have a chance to sweep the O’s. Getting to .500 is cool, but getting over that hump would be even better. They will have a chance to do just that in front of what should be another stellar crowd at Nationals Park. The […]
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 […]
The Nats have finally done it! After 15 failed attempts, the Nationals finally got over the hump, beating the Orioles 13-3 to reach .500. It is May 17th, and the Washington Nationals enter play with a 23-23 record. Seeing the instant impact this new regime has made has truly been a joy to watch as […]
