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 […]
Orioles news: O’s snap losing streak, open weekend with big win
Good morning Birdland, The Orioles four-game skid came to an end on Friday night as they beat the Rays 5-3. Pete Alonso stole the show with his 30th home run of the season and a snazzy diving put out to lead the O’s to the win. But Trevor Rogers also made a difference, delivering seven […]
Orioles end skid, ride Rogers to 5-3 win over Rays
All the Orioles needed to break their four-game skid was another game against the Rays. They took the opener of the weekend series with their division foe 5-3 on Friday night as Trevor Rogers twirled a gem, Pete Alonso hit the go-ahead homer, and the bullpen locked things down late. The Orioles came out swinging, […]
Friday Night Orioles Victory GIF Party
It is Friday night. The Orioles snapped their losing streak at four games by beating the Rays, 5-3. Trevor Rogers pitched seven pretty good innings, Pete Alonso hit his 30th homer of the season (and it actually counted this time), and the Orioles, well, we’ll see where they go from here. They won tonight and […]
Orioles vs. Rays discussion
Last weekend, the Orioles got everybody’s hopes up by winning the first three games against the Rays. They’ve spent the days since stumbling around and not doing a whole lot and so they’ve squandered the opportunity they created for themselves to stay ahead of the wild card competition. Can they get back up again after […]
Orioles fans think Basallo’s return will have the biggest impact
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Orioles fans and fans across the country. When I asked the question for this week’s poll of Orioles fans, it looked like the team might be on the verge of going somewhere, and […]
Orioles vs. Rays series preview: A rematch in Baltimore
When the Orioles left Tropicana Field four days ago, there was an air of hope around them—the feeling that comes from taking three out of four in the house of the AL East leader. Fast forward four days and the Orioles have come back to earth after being swept in Baltimore by the New York […]
Was the Orioles’ three-game win streak in Tampa a mirage?
Welp. What a difference four days makes. On August 16, the O’s were clobbering the Rays 10-2 to complete three straight wins in St. Petersburg, vaulting into sole possession of the third American League Wild Card spot. As of last night, they’d dropped four in a row, including a home sweep by the Yankees, tumbling […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/21: Kjerstad stays hot, Eyanson keeps dealing
Triple-A: Nashville Sounds (Brewers) 7, Norfolk Tides 0 Heston Kjerstad reached base in all four plate apperances, but Norfolk never managed to bring him home. Kjerstad tripled and also worked a walk. Bryan Ramos and José Barrero added the other two singles. Tides starter Juaron Watts-Brown failed to complete three innings during a disappointing day. […]
Orioles news: Pete Alonso’s leadership, wild card standings
Hello, friends. Just when you thought you were in, they shove you back out. That’s the 2026 Orioles guarantee. Three straight exciting wins against the Rays to start a tough ten-game stretch have now been followed by four straight losses, ground gained by those wins evaporated along with any fan excitement. A 6-1 setback to […]
Orioles swept by Yankees, fall six games below .500
The Orioles were swept away tonight, ruining every bit of goodwill and excitement they had built up with their series against the Rays last weekend. Tonight’s game, a 6-1 loss to the Yankees, had a little bit of everything bad. The offense could not solve Gerrit Cole. One big error cost the team a couple […]
