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 […]
Orioles blow big lead, come back with 8-7 win over Cardinals
Well, this game was like a rollercoaster. And when it ended, I felt much like I do after a real rollercoaster: happy but mildly nauseous. The Orioles jumped out to a huge early lead in this game, big enough to make us relax a bit. The vibes were good, and the offense was cooking. But […]
Orioles @ Cardinals discussion
Orioles vs Cardinals7:45 EDTMASN/MASN+ The Orioles laid the smack down on the Cardinals last night with a 13-1 victory to kick off their nine-game road trip. It was an exciting win but let’s be honest: we are Orioles fans. We know that this means the Orioles will probably suffer a demoralizing loss tonight. Maybe a […]
Basallo’s bat can make powerful impact over final stretch
The Orioles placed Samuel Basallo on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation back on July 22. At that time, Baltimore was 50-53. The Birds were only a few games removed from a seven-game win streak that had the potential to save their season. Adley Rutschman, Taylor Ward and Tyler Wells were still on the […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/26: Alexander makes rehab start in Norfolk win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 3, Durham Bulls 1 Cade Povich delivered his best Triple-A start of the season and Blaze Alexander made his first rehab appearance in the Tides’ series-opening win. The 26-year-old lefty started off the game with back-to-back strikeouts before ending the inning on a runner caught stealing. After a 1-2-3 second, Povich ran […]
Orioles news: Alonso leads offensive outburst, Alexander starts rehab
Good morning Birdland, At this point in the season every single game is crucial, and the Orioles played like it on Tuesday night. They used an eight-run fifth inning and a stellar start from Chris Bassitt to crush the Cardinals 13-1 in the series opener. The 2.5-game gap between the Orioles and the final AL […]
Orioles open road trip with 13-1 beatdown of Cardinals
The Orioles kicked off a crucial nine-game road trip with a blowout 13-1 win over the hosting Cardinals on Tuesday night. Pete Alonso paced the lineup before he left the game with a flare up of his calf injury. O’s starter Chris Bassitt turned in a solid 6.2 innings before Anthony Nunez over-powered the opposing […]
Orioles at Cardinals discussion
If the Orioles are going to make a push for the playoffs in this final month or so of the season, they are gonna have to win a bunch of games. That means beating solid teams like these Cardinals on the road. It’s not gonna be easy. It’s a left-handed starter on the mound for […]
Orioles-Cardinals series preview: One more pivotal road trip
As we head into the last week of August, the Orioles remain what they’ve been all year, a maddeningly inconsistent outfit whose offense is capable of simply switching off at inconvenient times, and whose defense is prone to make stupid errors just when the game is on the line. And yet, they’re still not out […]
Three players that need to step up for the Orioles offense
With 31 games left to go in the season, the Orioles are in a weird spot. After the Guardians win last night, Baltimore finds itself 2.5 games back of the final AL Wild Card spot with just over a month of baseball left to play. It’s far from an insurmountable deficit; the O’s have nine […]
This week in the Orioles minors: Rutschman trade acquisitions put on a show
The minor league season is drawing closer to the finish line, but the action among the Orioles’ affiliates is arguably the most exciting it’s been all season. Between the debuts of a bunch of 2026 draftees and the arrivals of a slew of new prospects acquired at the trade deadline, the Orioles have added plenty […]
Orioles news: Kicking off a nine-game road trip
Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! After an off-day yesterday, the Orioles will be back in action tonight. They kick off a nine-game, three-city road trip against three teams a playoff team should be able to beat: the St. Louis Cardinals, Sacramento Athletics, and Colorado Rockies. The Cardinals have a .500 record, while the A’s and Rockies […]
Orioles upcoming schedule is a chance to go on a season-changing run
All season long, the Orioles have tread water. Their win-loss record has never gotten better than two games above .500 (on April 13) or worse than nine games under .500 (July 8). That type of mediocre form has been enough to keep them in the conversation for a playoff spot, but with just a month […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/24: Bautista rehabs for Chesapeake, Aloy and Estrada go back-to-back
Triple-A: Nashville Sounds (MIL) 2, Norfolk Tides 0 (Game 1 – makeup) This will be super quick, because there was really little offense over Game One’s seven innings. The Tides got no-hit, alas, and only a walk to Rece Hinds with one out left in the game kept it from being a combined perfecto. On […]
Orioles news: O’s offense fails Baz again
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the Orioles lost because they couldn’t score any runs for Shane Baz. It’s becoming a running joke, although not a very funny one. When Baz is on the mound, absolutely everything seems to go wrong for the Orioles, and through very little fault of […]
Orioles offense fails to deliver in 3-1 loss to Rays
The Orioles sent the tying run to the plate three times in the 9th, but couldn’t come up with the clutch hit, losing the series finale 3-1 to the Rays. After managing only one base runner through the first eight innings, Colton Cowser stepped up to the plate in the 9th looking to ignite a […]
Sunday afternoon Orioles game thread: vs. Rays, 1:35pm ET
Probable pitchers: RHP Shane Baz (4-13, 4.02 ERA, 132 Ks) vs. RHP Nick Martinez (12-4, 3.05 ERA, 83 Ks) Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ If the Orioles could play an entire season just against the Rays, they’d probably be the best team in baseball. After last night’s extra-inning win, the Orioles improved to 8-4 on the […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/23: Baysox lone winner on the night
Triple-A: Norfolk vs Nashville (MIL) – PPD The Tides and Sounds were scheduled to play a doubleheader today, but it never happened. The first game was suspended for rain in the top of the first, and the second was canceled. They’ll try again today with another doubleheader. The first game will pick up where the […]
Orioles news: O’s within one game of WC after walkoff
Good morning, Camden Chatters. I never thought I’d be saying this, but I wish the Orioles could play every game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Birds’ inexplicable dominance against the American League’s best team continued last night with a dramatic, come-from-behind, 3-2 walkoff victory in 10 innings. The Orioles, given up for dead after […]
Basallo and Beavers propel Orioles with pinch-hit heroics
There’s been plenty to criticize this season, but nobody can question Baltimore’s ability to find the right bat at the right time. The Orioles offense went scoreless for seven innings before Samuel Basallo delivered a pinch-hit, game-tying homer in the eighth. The bullpen did its part, and Dylan Beavers came off the bench to walk […]
Orioles vs. Rays discussion
The Orioles picked up some momentum last weekend with a series win over the first-place Rays. The good vibes evaporated when the Birds lost three straight to New York, but Baltimore can right the ship today with another series victory over Tampa Bay. Brandon Young (9-3, 3.52 ERA) will take the mound for the Orioles. […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/22: Witherspoon pitches five hitless innings
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides vs. Nashville Sounds (Brewers) — POSTPONED This game was canceled due to wet grounds and will be made up as part of a Saturday doubleheader. Double-A: Richmond Flying Squirrels (Giants) 4, Chesapeake Baysox 3 A 2-1 Baysox lead disappeared after a three-run top of the eighth for Richmond, with reliever Ryan Long […]
