Hello, friends. Even the optimists in Birdland have to be pretty much ready to put the hopes to bed for the season at this point. Last night’s loss to the Red Sox comes darn close to settling it for the Orioles. They needed to come out and have a strong September in order to keep […]

For the second consecutive night, the Orioles offense was an absolute no-show, getting blanked yet again in a 5-0 defeat at the hands of visiting Red Sox on Saturday night at Camden Yards. The sixth inning of this game felt like a a death knell for the 2026 Orioles. At the time, the game was […]
