O’s lineup finally supports Baz, beat Guardians 9-5
A big third inning propelled the Orioles to a convincing 9-5 win over the visiting Guardians on Wednesday night at Camden Yards. For the second consecutive start, Shane Baz gave up a home run to the second batter of the night. Last time, it was a solo shot from Boston’s Mickey Gasper. Tonight, it was […]
Orioles vs Guardians discussion
Shane Baz starts have been a kiss of death for the Orioles this year. It’s not Baz’s fault. He has pitched fine this season, sometimes fantastic. But the Orioles do not win very often when he is on the mound. Baz has one pitching win since June 12. He has made 14 starts since then, […]
Can the Orioles help these players reach their maximum potential?
A team doesn’t fall this short of expectations without at least a few players failing to meet their expected level of production. The Orioles are no exception. Gunnar Henderson has been in the spotlight all season for his lack of superstar production, but this rings true for several players. Colton Cowser has failed to make […]
Orioles minor league recap 9/9: Boston Bateman Ks 10 in Keys playoff win
Triple-A: Memphis Redbirds 11, Norfolk Tides 10 (F/1o) The Tides launched five home runs against the Redbirds Tuesday, but couldn’t seal the win, losing in walk-off fashion after a blown save in the 9th. Jeremiah Jackson hit the first of the long balls to pad the Tides’ lead in the 3rd. After a Ryan Noda […]
Orioles news: Baltimore’s playoff odds sink further with another loss
Good morning Birdland, Things aren’t looking good for the Orioles. They got back to losing on Tuesday night, a 9-5 defeat to the Cleveland Guardians. That’s the main team they are chasing in the American League standings, so it hurt twice as bad as a normal loss. Their record is now 70-76 with 16 games […]
Brandon Young bombs, Orioles fall to Guardians 9-5
After a one-day reprieve, the Orioles were back to their losing ways today. Starter Brandon Young had his worst start of the season, failing to complete four innings. The offense attempted a comeback, but it was too little, too late. And the bullpen wasn’t able to keep the Guardians’ offense in check. In the end, […]
Orioles vs Guardians discussion
Baltimore Orioles vs Cleveland GuardiansTuesday, September 8th, 6:35 ETMASN/MASN+ The Orioles send Brandon Young to the mound as they search for their second straight win and a series win over the Guardians. Tanner Bibee goes for the Guardians. He is the Shane Baz of the Guardians, except his run-support woes are even worse. So far […]
How far out from a postseason spot will the Orioles finish?
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. With 17 games left to play in the 2026 season, the Orioles “tragic number” is 13. That is, the combination of Orioles losses and Guardians wins that […]
Coby Mayo’s development presents an interesting problem for the Orioles
Not many things have gone right for the Orioles in 2026. And yet, the development of Coby Mayo is easily one of the biggest wins of the season. Early in the season, the 24-year-old Mayo was viewed as another one of Baltimore’s talented young players who couldn’t translate that talent into major league production. Much […]
This week in the Orioles minors: Frederick sets record, heads for postseason
Across the whole of the Orioles organization, it may end up that only the High-A affiliate in Frederick has much to play for in the month of September. The rest of the farm teams haven’t done much all season, and as for the big league team, well, they started out playing meaningful September games and […]
Orioles news: O’s snap six-game skid
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The 2026 Orioles may be teetering precariously over a cliff, but they haven’t fallen into the ravine just yet. They kept their flickering playoff hopes alive, and at least temporarily found their bats again, with a 6-4 win to open a three-game series against the Guardians. The victory snapped the Birds’ […]
Orioles pummel Guardians to snap six-game losing streak, 6-4
Two teams met today at 1:35 Eastern on Labor Day. One of them is sinking into irrelevance, limply making outs when runs are desperately needed. The other is hanging tough, gradually solidifying its hold on a playoff spot. Today, you’d have been hard pressed to figure out which team was which. The Orioles quickly jumped […]
Orioles vs. Guardians discussion
Happy Labor Day, Camden Chat! I hope the Orioles don’t give you a back-breaking loss that seals their season. I’d understand if you didn’t feel great about their chances: the O’s are 0-6 in September, four games back of the Guardians, and couldn’t even achieve a series win against the Colorado Rockies!! For Pete’s sake. […]
Orioles-Guardians series preview: The probable nail in the coffin
Take a trip in the wayback machine with me, friends. All the way back to Sep. 1, 2026. Ah, we were so young and innocent then. The Orioles had just clawed back to the .500 mark for the first time since April, and they did it with one of the most miraculous game-ending plays you’ll […]
Podcast: The ultimate rug pull by the Orioles
Anyone can really be forgiven for thinking, after the Orioles dramatically got back up to .500 after months of wallowing below it, that this would mark the start of a September ascent. The opportunity was right there in front of them. What we have gotten instead is the ultimate case of the 2026 Orioles pulling […]
The 2026 Orioles are officially a failure
One week ago, the Orioles were flying high. They were in the midst of a successful road trip that had them back to .500 for the first time since April and just half a game out of the AL’s final wild card spot. Colton Cowser’s walk-off web gem in Colorado felt like a sign from […]
Orioles minor league recap 9/7: Vance Honeycutt homers for Chesapeake
Triple-A: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (MIA) 8, Norfolk Tides 1 Oh dear, a humbling day at the plate for the Tides. Their only run came when José Barrero walked, stole a pitch, advanced on a wild pitch, and scored on a groundout. Talk about scratching out runs. Tides hitters combined for just six hits on Sunday. […]
Orioles news: Swept out of contention
Happy Monday, Camden Chatters. If you’re off work for the long weekend, remember those in the Labor Movement who fought for your right to work reasonable hours, among other things. As for the Orioles, I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say they played themselves into irrelevance over the weekend. Having been mopped by the Red […]
Orioles’ offensive woes continue as Red Sox complete four-game sweep with 3-1 win
Sunday’s game was one that was seemingly lost by one error in the 2nd inning. For the first time since Thursday, the Orioles took a lead over the Red Sox thanks to a two-out rally in the bottom of the 1st. Boston starter Payon Tolle began the frame by striking out Blaze Alexander and Pete […]
Orioles vs Red Sox discussion
It’s been a tough week in Birdland. After beginning the week with two heartbreaking losses in Denver, the Orioles have been thoroughly outplayed in three straight losses to the Red Sox. Pitching hasn’t been the problem for the O’s. During their current five game losing streak, Baltimore has three quality starts and none of their […]
Orioles minor league recap 9/6: Patrick Reilly dazzles for Baysox
Triple-A: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (MIA) 11, Norfolk Tides 7 The Tides jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning on a two-run home run by Jeremiah Jackson and an RBI triple by Luis Vázquez. But they fell behind immediately after that and never recovered. Starting pitcher Cade Povich had a very rough time. […]
Orioles news: Back-to-back shutouts leaves season slipping away
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 […]
O’s get blanked for second night in a row, lose 5-0 to Red Sox
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 […]
Orioles vs Red Sox discussion
This is the type of game where, if you look at it on the surface, the Orioles don’t stand a chance. Suddenly, they are on a four-game skid that could turn into a downward death spiral as the schedule gets tougher. Their opponent has been one of the best team’s in the league since the […]
Orioles minor league recap 9/5: Quinn throws five scoreless for Baysox
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 10, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins) 5 The Tides brought the lumber with double-digit runs and hits, plus nine walks, overcoming an early 4-0 deficit for a runaway victory.
