Good morning, Camden Chatters. Even in a season that isn’t going according to plan, an immutable fact remains: life seems a little bit better after an Orioles win. That’s especially true when the O’s make it a dramatic win, like last night’s 5-3 takedown of the visiting Royals at Camden Yards. After Brandon Young’s bid […]
BALTIMORE–What happened? Samuel Basallo waited for several seconds at home plate, hoping his drive to right field would stay fair. It stayed fair, and it put the Orioles in front and the fans in a frenzy. Basallo’s two-run home run, his 15th, scored Pete Alonso in the eighth inning and carried the Orioles to an […]
The Royals fell 5-3 after another very Luinder Avila start and one too many trips to the bullpen. Matt Strahm gave up the final blow, a two-run home run to Samuel Basallo. Before that, it was a pretty close game. As noted above, Luinder Avila got the start in this one for KC. He pitched […]

The Orioles and Royals are both bad. Remember when they were both good? Those were the days. Well, until the playoffs came anyway. But let’s talk about something else.

You don’t know who’s going to pan out, so it’s […]

Despite dropping the series in […]
