Sunday doubleheader Orioles game thread: vs. Detroit, 12:35 and 6:35 ET
Not even a rainout can stop these red-hot Orioles! Perhaps I exaggerate just a bit. But after a convincing 7-4 win on Friday night, one can almost glimpse what this team could be. Maybe a series against last-place Detroit was just what these Birds need to kickstart their herky-jerky season. Don’t discount the importance of […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/24: Tides lose on extra-innings grand slam
Triple-A: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (MIA) 8, Norfolk Tides 4 – F/10 The Tides spent most of this game behind, but scored two runs in the ninth to take a one-run lead. But the Shrimp tied the game in the bottom half to send it to extras, then scored five runs in the 10th to walk […]
Orioles news: Doubleheader with Tigers awaits
Hello, friends. Weather robbed us of the Orioles getting to play yesterday. Given their all-too-frequent play this season, it may be that nothing was lost to the fan in not seeing the Orioles. As Zagreus is frequently reminded in the video game Hades, there is no escape. There will be two O’s games today, whether […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/23: Dzierwa strikes out 10 in Double-A debut
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 8, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins) 3 This was a well-played game all around for the Tides, starting with a quality start by Nestor German, who worked six innings and gave up three runs. He struck out five and walked one. It was German’s longest outing of the year. Nick Raquet, Cameron Foster, […]
Orioles news: O’s begin long homestand with impressive win
Good morning Birdland, Those of you that have Apple TV+ were treated to quite the game on Friday night. The Orioles beat the Tigers 7-4 thanks to several exciting performances from throughout the roster. Jackson Holliday had his first two hits of the season, including an important home run that just squeaked over the shortest […]
Orioles overcome Tigers and torrential rain with 7-4 win
Tonight’s matchup at Oriole Park was not exactly the platonic ideal of what a baseball game should be. The weather was absolutely miserable. The teams were two of the worst in baseball. Let’s just say it’s not the kind of game you’d write wistful histories about. But the Baltimore Orioles versus the Detroit Tigers was […]
Friday Night Orioles Victory GIF Party
It is Friday night. The Orioles have beaten the Tigers by a 7-4 score. Gunnar Henderson had three hits, Pete Alonso and Jackson Holliday each homered, and four relievers combined for 3.2 scoreless innings to finish off the game, including a bounce-back outing from Anthony Nunez, as the O’s sent Detroit to their seventh straight […]
Friday night Orioles game thread: vs. Tigers, 7:15
It’s been pouring all day in the greater Baltimore area, but it appears we’re going to attempt to play baseball tonight, because the public won’t rest until they get to see two teams that are a combined 20 games under .500 do battle. People all around the country are hosting their Orioles/Tigers watch parties, and […]
Orioles-Tigers series preview: At another crisis point
At the beginning of May, the Orioles got their butts kicked for four straight games by the Yankees and they needed to act immediately to prevent the season from spiraling out of control. The O’s managed to do this in winning two of the next three series, including getting some revenge against the Yankees. A […]
Are the Orioles trying to hit the ball too hard?
You know your team’s season is going badly when … Oh, here’s a surefire one: in-organization fights start to erupt about why the team is playing badly. One erupted this week, as beloved MASN broadcaster and former pitcher Ben McDonald unleashed an on-air rant about the O’s overreliance on analytics. Following the O’s 5-3 loss […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/22: Kjerstad struggles in Norfolk loss
Triple-A: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins) 9, Norfolk Tides 2 With the Orioles idle, Norfolk represented the closest thing to a major league game last night. With that said, the outcome is about what you’ve come to expect. Jonathan Rodríguez hit a solo home run in the top of the first, but the Tides proceeded to […]
Orioles news: A season-defining homestand begins
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Can you believe the Orioles’ 2026 season is not even two months old? It’s felt like two decades. The shoddy pitching, the atrocious defense, the unproductive offense, the overall uninspired play — we’ve seen so much bad baseball already. And we’re less than a third of the way through the season. […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/21: Chesapeake and Delmarva lineups erupt in big wins
Triple-A: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins) 4, Norfolk Tides 2 Norfolk second baseman Payton Eeles had himself a big game, going 2-for-2 with three stolen bases, two walks, and a run scored. The rest of the lineup when 1-for-27 with five walks and 14 strikeouts. The only other hitter with a hit was Bryan Ramos. The […]
Orioles news: A new low point for the 2026 season
Hello, friends. We now sit at the lowest point of the 2026 Orioles season so far. After yesterday’s loss to the Rays, where they blew a 3-1 lead with two outs in the eighth inning and went on to lose by a 5-3 margin, the Orioles are 21-29, a season-low eight games below .500. They […]
Orioles swept by Rays after things fall apart in 8th inning
The Orioles were four outs away from staving off a sweep at the hands of the Rays and maybe fending off the feelings of impending doom around this team for a couple more days. They had a two-run lead, the tying run was only at the plate for the Rays, and then it all fell […]
Orioles live game chat: May 20 vs. Rays
Some time recently on Bluesky, I saw someone make a comment that resonated with me. They said that the thing about the Orioles this year is that it feels like every loss is going to lead to a ten-game losing streak and every win is merely a temporary reprieve. I’ve forgotten who said it; if […]
Orioles recent woes generate more questions than answers
Cheering for a lousy baseball team can be a real drag. As the season progresses, the margin for error shrinks. Outcomes become more crucial as the trade deadline creeps into the picture. It’s an unpleasant scenario where wins provide relief instead of joy. Each defeat hurts more and more as the season evolves into death […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/20: Chesapeake rallies for walk-off win vs. Somerset
Triple-A: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 5, Norfolk Tides 2 The Jumbo Shrimp scored one run in the 6th and two runs in the 8th to take Game 1 vs. the Tides on Tuesday. Norfolk came into the 6th down 2-1, but quickly tied the game thanks to a leadoff solo homer from José Barrero. That tie […]
Orioles news: Orioles wrap up nightmare road trip today
Good morning Birdland, This Orioles team is just not fun to watch right now. They lost again on Tuesday night, a 4-1 defeat to the AL-leading Tampa Bay Rays. At 21-28, the O’s are back in the division cellar, among the absolute worst teams in the entire sport. Once again, the offense was basically a […]
No-show offense, lousy defense cost Orioles in 4-1 loss
One night after the Orioles lost to the Rays because their pitching staff imploded, they lost again to the Rays because their offense failed to show up. Gotta hand it to the O’s — they might always lose, but they’re always keeping it fresh! The O’s suffered a 4-1 defeat at Tropicana Field in game […]
Tuesday night Orioles game thread: at Rays, 6:40
Three weeks ago, the Orioles visited the first-place AL East team — the Yankees at the time — and got utterly destroyed, losing all four games by a combined total of 39-10. Last night, they again visited the first-place AL East team — which is now the Rays — and got utterly destroyed in the […]
Can Jackson Holliday make this Orioles team better?
Yesterday, the Orioles announced the return of infielder Jackson Holliday to the roster. Holliday’s activation ends a 3+ month stint on the IL after surgery to repair a broken hamate bone in his right hand. Originally, the expectation was that the former No.1 overall pick would make his return sometime in mid-April. Then again, the […]
Orioles minor league weekly recap: Keys sweep the week, Dzierwa moves up
The promotions have begun. If you were waiting to go see this year’s possible breakout pitching prospect Joseph Dzierwa in Frederick, tough luck, because he’s headed to Double-A. You’ll have to find him now in Bowie, where the team that once called itself Bowie and now calls itself Chesapeake plays its home games. We can […]
Orioles news: The O’s embarrassed themselves again
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Somewhere, on a “Days Since Orioles’ Last Humiliation” sign, a sad-sack intern is resetting the counter to zero. Look, we all knew that the Birds’ visit to Tropicana Field, home of the American League’s best team with the majors’ best home record, had a strong likelihood of going sideways. But even […]
Trevor Rogers and the Orioles demolished by Rays, 16-6
Imagine I told you that the Orioles went into Tropicana Field tonight and got to starting pitcher Shane McClanahan for four runs in five innings. You’d be excited, right? McClanahan is one of the best lefties in baseball this year, and the Orioles are terrible against lefties. He came into this game on a 21.2-inning […]
