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, […]
Orioles news: The O’s are in a wild card spot
Good morning, Camden Chatters. This is not a drill. As we wake up this morning, your Baltimore Orioles are currently in playoff position. In a turn of events that would’ve been nearly impossible to believe just three days ago, the O’s have claimed a half-game lead for the third and final AL wild card spot. […]
Orioles ride 7-run 6th inning rally to another win over Rays
At this exact moment, the Orioles are tied for the third wild card spot in the American League. This is going to change as other games finish on Sunday. For now, that’s where they are. They pulled themselves up by exploding from having the bases empty and two outs in the seventh inning to score […]
Orioles at Rays discussion
It’s a been a fun weekend of Orioles baseball. Back-to-back wins over the AL-leading Rays, paired with some helpful outcomes elsewhere in the league, have inched the O’s to within half a game of the final wild card spot in the American League. Another victory today could push them into sole possession of that place. […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/16: Bradfield, Estrada reach base five times each
Triple-A: Gwinnett Stripers (Braves) 9, Norfolk Tides 6 — 10 inn. The Tides went to extra innings in a 6-6 tie, but a three-run top of the 10th for Gwinnett spelled defeat. The rarely scored-upon lefty Andrew Magno gave up all three runs to raise his ERA to 1.26. Before that, erstwhile Orioles Dietrich Enns […]
Orioles news: Wild card standings, Alonso cramps up
Hello, friends. It remains tough to know just what to say about these Orioles. Often over the course of this season, this has been bad, because the depth of their struggle almost defies explanation. Very nearly as often, this has been good, because you think you know what they are based on all of the […]
Orioles defeat Baker, Rays in extra innings 4-3
Tied after nine innings of baseball, the Orioles and Rays each turned to a member of their bullpen to try and keep the other team from scoring. For the Rays, it was Bryan Baker. Baker has transformed himself into a leading closer this year, posting a 1.55 ERA and a league-leading 34 saves. His last […]
Orioles vs Rays discussion
Welcome to Saturday night baseball, where two postseason hopefuls are facing off. I’m not saying these teams are all that similar, but they are both postseason hopefuls. I guess the Rays are more than hopeful, but you never know what could happen. After Pete Alonso batted first last night, tonight it’s Tyler O’Neill’s turn. I […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/15: Witherspoon K’s 9 for Frederick
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 6, Gwinnett Stripers (ATL) 2 Weird fact alert: every run in this game scored on a two-run homer. Luis De León pitched a fine game for Norfolk, allowing two runs in five innings. The damage was done by old friend Maverick Handley, who is playing for Gwinnett. He hit a two-run home […]
Orioles fans split on Gunnar being good player for team again
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Orioles fans and fans across the country. The question of whether Gunnar Henderson will ever be good for the Orioles again is a subject of near-daily debate in Birdland. Each poor at-bat or misfire […]
Orioles news: O’s back within one game of final wild card spot
Good morning Birdland, That win felt pretty good! The 6-5 victory over the division-leading Rays, paired with losses by the Tigers, Twins, and Rangers moved the O’s to within just one game of the final wild card spot in the American League. Craig Albernaz deployed a new-look lineup that included Pete Alonso in the lead-off […]
