Orioles vs. Rockies discussion
Folks, Orioles baseball is getting quite interesting of late. The Birds have been playing capable, credible baseball, and now they’re within one game of the last Wild Card. The offense is, maybe not humming, but it’s providing thump and interest. And lots of power: the Orioles have 31 home runs in their last 18 games. […]
Orioles-Rockies series preview: Stay hot against MLB’s worst team
There are 25 games remaining to the Orioles and they get to play the next three of them against the team with the worst record in all of MLB. That’s the Colorado Rockies, a team that has been down and out for quite some time. They haven’t had a winning season from 2019 to the […]
Podcast: The Orioles are taking care of business
The strange journey of the 2026 Orioles season continues, now with the team just one game back of .500 for the first time since the end of April. A whole lot of baseball has happened between now and then. A lot of that baseball was bad in May and June. Things have gone a bit […]
The Orioles are finally acting like a playoff team
With their 8-5 win over the Athletics on Sunday afternoon, the Orioles improved to just one game under .500 for the first time since April 30. The four months in between have included a tumble down the standings, a roster sell-off, and now a renaissance on the field. It remains to be seen whether the […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/31: Butterworth homers, Bautista gets a win in rehab outing
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 7, Durham Bulls (TBR) 4 Well, isn’t that a sight for sore eyes: Félix Bautista in the box score, earning a W. The Mountain, still rehabbing his throwing arm since undergoing rotator cuff and labrum surgery in fall 2025, threw an unimpeachable sixth inning that saw him allow a single and strike […]
Orioles news: O’s sweep A’s, pull within a game of .500
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles, for all their trials and tribulations throughout this 2026 campaign, are on the brink of being a .500 team again. The Birds’ sweep in Sacramento has pushed them to a 68-69 record, the first time since April 30 that they’ve been within a game of .500. On six other […]
Henderson, Mayo power Orioles to 8-5 comeback win
Baltimore entered today’s matchup with the Athletics looking for a three-game sweep, but it felt like the team would be forced to settle for a series win after Chris Bassitt allowed five runs in the first three frames. The Orioles lose this game in April. They probably lose it in May, June and July too. […]
Orioles vs. Athletics discussion
The Orioles have an opportunity to sweep the Athletics today with Chris Bassitt on the mound. Baltimore managed a pair of close victories over the struggling A’s on Friday and Saturday. The team will look to build some momentum with a convincing result this afternoon. Blaze Alexander is back atop the lineup and will play […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/30: Kjerstad has three hits in Norfolk loss
Triple-A: Durham Bulls (TBR) 4, Norfolk Tides 0 Starting pitcher Michael Forret started off shaky but finished strong. He walked the bases loaded in the first and escaped with just a sacrifice fly. After a double and another walk in the second, he gave up another sac fly to make the score 2-0. Heston Kjerstad […]
Orioles news: Wild card standings, Basallo struggles
Hello, friends. The Orioles have managed to creep closer to a wild card spot yet again. Thanks to losses by the Guardians and Rangers yesterday and the O’s holding on to take down the Athletics, the team is now just a game back of the third wild card, with only Cleveland standing between the Orioles […]
Orioles score early, hold off Athletics for Baz’s first win since June, 5-3
As we head into the final month of the season, this year’s past frustrations are just that, past. For all their flaws in construction and execution, the Orioles now have the chance to seize control of their playoff destiny, stack some wins, and grab the third and final Wild Card spot for good. Today, they […]
Saturday night Orioles game thread: @ Athletics, 10:05 ET
Happy Saturday, folks! Hope you’re having a nice weekend. If you decide to spend it watching late-night West Coast baseball, I hope the Orioles grace you with a series win tonight. They snatched a win in Game One last night with a 4-3 victory in ten innings. Although Brandon Young pitched a strong seven innings, […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/29: Honeycutt delivers game-winning homer
Triple-A: Durham (Rays) 7, Norfolk Tides 0 The Tides mustered a whopping three hits and one walk in this game. That’s a tough way to win. Enrique Bradfield Jr., Creed Willems, and Brandon Butterworth all took 0-fors in the game. Heston Kjerstad pinch hit in the ninth inning and hit a double. He’s OPSing .790 […]
Orioles news: O’s gain ground in playoff race with extra-inning win
Good morning Birdland, You may not have been dreaming, but while you slept the Orioles did win their opener in Sacramento and gained a game in the AL wild card standings. The 4-3 win on Friday night required extra innings and a pair of clutch hits from Coby Mayo and then Christian Encarnacion-Strand in the […]
Mayo, CES lead Orioles to 10-inning win over Athletics, 4-3
For those who stayed up well into Saturday morning to watch the opener of this Orioles-Athletics series, well, I wouldn’t exactly say you witnessed an instant classic. There was a whole lot of silly baseball going on. Baserunning blunders. Defensive butchery. Inexplicable managerial decisions. The Orioles couldn’t score more than two runs in regulation against […]
Friday Night Orioles Victory GIF Party
It is Friday night. Or at least it was when this game started. The Orioles have beaten the Athletics by a 4-3 score over a ten-inning contest. It was, frankly, a stupid game where a lot of things happened that should have caused the O’s to lose, except, they didn’t lose. Brandon Young pitched seven […]
Orioles vs. Athletics discussion
We’ve got a late one tonight. Let’s hope the Orioles make it worth staying up for. The O’s kick off a three-game series against the Athletics at Sacramento’s Sutter Health Park with a 9:40 ET start time for the opener. These next six games against the crummy A’s and Rockies represent the Orioles’ best chance […]
Orioles-Athletics series preview: Late night baseball
What is there to say about the Athletics? At 53-81, they aren’t even the worst team in their division! That honor goes to the Los Angeles Angels. But before anyone gets too smug, the Orioles have lost series to both teams this season. Whether in fourth or fifth place in the AL West, the Athletics […]
Do the Orioles have enough left in the tank to make a run?
Labor Day steals fast upon us, and in baseball language, this means we’re closing in on the point in the season when a team’s record and standings are a truer indicator of underlying value than vague talk about “parts” and “clubhouse vibes” and “potential.” It’s been a difficult year for the Orioles by most measures—a […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/28: Bautista looks sharp in second rehab appearance
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 5, Durham Bulls (Rays) 4 Félix Bautista delivered a clean inning in his second rehab appearance (first at Triple-A). Bautista shook off the rust from his first outing and generated a ground out, strikeout, and fly out. His sinker topped out at 97 MPH. Bautista entered after starter Trey Gibson threw four […]
Orioles news: O’s fail to sweep, West Coast trip upcoming
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles’ frantic march toward .500 has hit another stumbling block. They couldn’t complete the sweep of the Cardinals yesterday afternoon, dropping the finale by a 7-5 score. Trevor Rogers struggled, the O’s offense was slow to get going against a Cardinals bullpen game, and a late comeback attempt fell short. […]
Late comeback falls short as Orioles lose to Cardinals, 7-5
Put the brooms back in the closet, Orioles fans. The O’s missed their chance to secure their fifth series sweep of the season, dropping the finale to the Cardinals in St. Louis, 7-5. The Cards built up a big early lead against an ineffective Trevor Rogers, then held off a late Orioles comeback attempt to […]
Orioles vs. Cardinals discussion
The last time the Orioles visited St. Louis, in May 0f 2024, the Cardinals won all three games to end the Birds’ 106-series regular season sweepless streak. So I’d say the Orioles owe the Cards a sweep of their own. After a blowout win in the opener and a blowout-turned-nailbiter victory in game two, the […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/27: Bradfield homers and doubles in Norfolk win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 7, Durham Bulls (Rays) 6 The Norfolk offense stormed back from three different deficits to come back and win this game, scoring three unanswered runs in the game’s final three innings. Enrique Bradfield Jr. made his case for a September call up with his 3-for-4 game, which included a double, a home […]
Orioles news: The O’s survived a near-meltdown
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles just can’t make things easy, can they? What should have been a second straight breezy blowout win over the Cardinals turned into a cardiac-inducing affair, a game that saw the O’s fritter away a 7-0 lead and nearly suffer what would’ve been perhaps their most agonizing loss of the […]
