Rain and lightning have delayed the game between the Rockies and Orioles on Monday night. The rain that looked ominous all day in Denver finally decided to fall after starting in the bottom of the fifth, with the game tied 1-1. The grounds crew rolled out the tarp between innings as fans headed for the […]
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. […]
DENVER—Luis Robert Jr. is expected to join the Orioles on Tuesday when the roster expands to 28. Robert will provide the Orioles with another right-handed hitting outfielder, one that manager Craig Albernaz says he can use. “We’re excited to have Luis,” Albernaz said. “That’s a great, great addition. The talent stands out big time, especially […]
After losing four games in a row, the Colorado Rockies (52-85) return to Coors Field for a six-game homestand starting with a showdown vs. the Baltimore Orioles (68-69) tonight. The Rockies will then play the Cardinals to complete the homestand, which will be the second-to-last one in the 2026 season. Tanner Gordon (1-4, 5.38 ERA) […]
Before he powered a sweep of the Athletics on Sunday with his bat, and before he helped win Saturday’s game with his glove and arm, Gunnar Henderson showed me something on a play he didn’t make. He sprinted into foul territory in pursuit of a foul ball, with Dylan Beavers and Christian Encarnacion-Strand also giving […]

The Baltimore Orioles have claimed center fielder Luis Robert Jr. off waivers from the Mets, and with that, the 29-year-old’s brief tenure with the Mets has come to an end. Known as an injury-prone player before the Mets traded for him ahead of the 2026 season, Robert missed a huge chunk of time this year […]
The New York Mets have made a call-up decision immediately following Luis Robert Jr. news.
The Orioles announced Monday that infielder Luis Vázquez has been designated for assignment. His roster spot goes to outfielder Luis Robert Jr., whose previously reported waiver claim has now been announced by the club. Baltimore also optioned righty Anthony Nunez to Triple-A Norfolk and recalled lefty Cade Povich in his place. Povich will start tonight’s […]
New York Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns will likely enter 2027 as a marked man. Even if he enjoys a lively offseason, fans are going to be hesitant to trust his judgement following back to-back disappointing campaigns. That being said, the 41-year-old executive can still make decisions that benefit the franchise, and potentially […]

DENVER–The Orioles on Monday claimed outfielder Luis Robert Jr. off waivers from the New York Mets.

A 29-year-old right-handed hitter, Robert batted .223 […]
The Baltimore Orioles have been playing some improved baseball as of late, winning seven out of their last nine games to pull to within one game of the .500 mark on the season. That, combined with the overall ineptitude of the AL this year, has given the Orioles a legit shot at making a playoff […]

Phrases and terms such as “generational” and “can’t-miss” flood player evaluation more and more with each top prospect. Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday is another member of that long list. Perhaps some of it is his bloodline, as being the son of an All-Star like Matt Holliday comes with a set of expectations. We […]

A two-time minor league batting champion, Jim Dwyer struggled to find his niche in the National League before becoming a pinch-hitting specialist and a World Series champion with the Baltimore Orioles in the 1980s.

One of only three players in big league history to appear in at least 1,300 games yet come to bat fewer than 3,300 times, Jim Dwyer nevertheless carved out a reputation as a player winn...
There are 25 games remaining to the Orioles and they get to play the next three of them against the team with the worst record in all of MLB. That’s the Colorado Rockies, a team that has been down and out for quite some time. They haven’t had a winning season from 2019 to the […]
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 […]
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 […]
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 7, Durham Bulls (TBR) 4 Well, isn’t that a sight for sore eyes: Félix Bautista in the box score, earning a W. The Mountain, still rehabbing his throwing arm since undergoing rotator cuff and labrum surgery in fall 2025, threw an unimpeachable sixth inning that saw him allow a single and strike […]
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 […]
If the Orioles win on Monday night at Colorado, they’ll be at .500 for the first time since winning the first game of a doubleheader on April 30th. In the first six games of a nine-game road trip, the Orioles (68-69) are 5-1 and one game under .500 since losing the second game of that […]
Question: Lots of negativity has been heaped on the 2026 Orioles. I’ve read complaints about individual players, the team as a whole, management, coaches, the front office, and the owner. Despite all the negativity, with a couple of days until September, the Orioles are just a game back from the last wild-card slot. I can’t […]
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. […]
O’s are 1 game under the .500 mark for first time since April 30
