Put a bird on it!
Some days you’re the windshield and some days you’re the bug. The next day after putting a big number up against Boston, the Orioles were on the receiving end of an ugly beatdown. By the time the dust settled, the O’s fell back below .500 with a 17-1 demolition at the hands of their last […]
The Orioles hit so many home runs last night that they put up a message on the video board that there were no more fireworks to be had. This turned out to not be the case in the most literal sense, as the small little post-victory burst of fireworks still went off. It was fun, […]
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 1, Memphis Redbirds (Cardinals) 0 — 10 inn. Runs were hard to come by in this one, as nobody scored until the Tides walked it off in the bottom of the 10th. Christian Encarnacion-Strand did the honors with a bases-loaded single to right to drive in Maikol Hernández and send the Tides […]
Good morning Birdland, That felt good! We have been waiting for this Orioles offense, which is loaded with potential, to finally break out and show us their power. They did exactly that on Friday night, blasting six home runs as part of a 10-3 dismantling of the visiting Red Sox. It could not have gone […]
The Orioles’ offense had been looking for a “get right game” all season; they finally found it Friday night agains the Red Sox, as they launched six long balls and collected 20 hits in a 10-3 win over the Red Sox. The O’s had struggled all season to get off to hot starts, but you […]
It is Friday night. The Orioles have demolished the Red Sox by a 10-3 score, a beatdown so thorough that they literally ran out of in-game pyrotechnics at Oriole Park at Camden Yards because the O’s hit so many home runs. Gunnar Henderson led off the O’s hitting in the game with a homer, Adley […]
Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ Probable pitchers: RHP Brandon Young (0-0, 0.00 ERA, 2 K) vs. RHP Brayan Bello (1-2, 6.75 ERA, 13 K) The Orioles return to Camden Yards Friday night after a road trip that had more reasons for concern than celebration. Across seven games in Cleveland and Kansas City, the O’s went 3-4, […]
Are the Boston Red Sox the league’s most disappointing team through the first four weeks of the season? They are at least in the discussion, alongside a few other clubs that were also expected to compete. And they come to Baltimore this weekend in horrible form, fresh off a sweep at the hands of the […]
The Orioles came into the 2026 season talking about rotation depth, and for once with actual justification. The team had failed to sign a big-name ace in the offseason, but they did have six starters for five spots (Trevor Rogers, Kyle Bradish, Shane Baz, Chris Bassitt, Zach Eflin, Dean Kremer)—seven, even eight, if you counted […]
Triple-A: Memphis Red Birds (STL) 5, Norfolk Tides 2 Levi Wells pitched four innings of one-run baseball. He gave up just three hits but also walked three in the short outing. The lone run came in the third inning on back-to-back doubles from the Red Birds, the second from former Orioles farmhand César Prieto. Wells […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Even an off day didn’t give the Orioles a break from the relentless injury news. Dean Kremer is the latest injured Oriole, just two starts into his major league season, as the club placed him on the 15-day injured list yesterday with a right quad strain. The O’s called up Brandon […]
Even on their off day, the Orioles managed to find a way to put a player on the injured list. The team placed starting pitcher Dean Kremer on the 15-day injured list with an announced right quad strain. As a corresponding move, pitcher Brandon Young was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. Kremer was the guy on […]
Triple-A: Memphis Redbirds (Cardinals) 9, Norfolk Tides 7 The Norfolk offense had plenty of runners on base against old friend Bruce Zimmermann and the rest of the Memphis pitching staff. They collected 12 hits and five walks, but they also struck out 14 times and went 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position. Jud Fabian had […]
Hello, friends. The Orioles have escaped Kansas City with a series win after pulling off a comeback to get an 8-6 victory in yesterday’s game, bringing themselves back within a game of .500. The Royals broke a long losing streak with their win on Tuesday but remain in the basement of the American League. You […]
Well, the Orioles did what they needed to do and won their series against the worst team in the American League. But it sure as heck wasn’t easy. The O’s took the rubber game in Kansas City, 8-6, behind a six-run explosion in the top of the sixth, then held on for dear life to […]
The Orioles/Royals series so far has played out like a competition between two closely matched opponents. And that’s not a good thing for the O’s. The Royals entered the series with the worst record in the American League — and, in fact, still have it — but the Birds haven’t exactly feasted on them like […]
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 7, Memphis Redbirds 3 Trey Gibson delivered his best start of the season, and the Tides used a four-run 5th to score a series-opening win against Memphis. The Orioles’ No.2 pitching prospect got off to a rocky start against the Redbirds, allowing a triple to the first batter he faced and staking […]
Good morning Birdland, Everything feels very difficult for the Orioles right now. Their most recent wins, which have been few and far between, have all come in extreme circumstances. And then last night, they lose a game against a bad team despite having all of the ingredients at their disposal for a win. Coby Mayo […]
The Orioles coughed up two different leads on Tuesday night as starter Shane Baz was, yet again, inconsistent, and the team’s bullpen had a rare stumble. All of it led to a frustrating 6-5 loss to the Royals, evening up the series at one game apiece. The Orioles’ half of the second inning felt like […]
Adley Rutschman is back in the Orioles lineup. His stay on the IL was the minimum of 10 days, dating back to April 10, when he began dealing with left ankle inflammation. It sounds like his recovery was quite smooth, and he stayed in shape. So no rehab games were needed, and instead he is […]
We all knew coming into the 2026 season that defense was not going to be these Orioles’ calling card. After all, this was a team that finished Bottom 5 in Baseball Reference’s defensive efficiency rankings last season and was 24th in Defensive Runs Saved on both BR and Fangraphs. Instead of making additions to help […]
The early weeks of the 2026 Orioles season are giving off vibes that maybe it is going to turn into an anxious look down to the farm for better times for the team in the future. Hopefully those vibes go away. Until they do, every prospect development story feels essential. It’s important even if things […]

Good morning, Camden Chatters. You know, over the course of a six-month season, you’ll see every kind of baseball game. Sometimes you’ll see a heavyweight clash between two tenacious clubs, battling with every fiber of their being as they put on a clinic of intense, well-played baseball. And then other times you’ll see what can […]
The Orioles offense has done it again. Don’t ask me for the definition of “it” in this context because the answer to that remains unclear early in the 2026 season. What is certain for tonight is this: The Orioles could have lost another stupid, frustrating game full of futility and easily-avoidable mistakes. They were one […]
