Put a bird on it!
Hello, friends. The Orioles are back down to .500. Monday’s exciting comeback win availed them of absolutely zero momentum, even though Trevor Rogers was the next day’s starting pitcher and Kyle Bradish was the guy the day after that. They lost an annoying one to the Diamondbacks yesterday to close out the homestand. Check out […]
You do not have to be a savvy baseball mind to look at a major league outfield consisting of Weston Wilson, Blaze Alexander, and Johnathan Rodríguez and wonder if there has been some mistake. The Orioles didn’t actually seriously think that was going to work out well when Wednesday’s starting lineup was submitted, did they? […]
The Orioles play their 18th game of the year on Wednesday afternoon. They have gone the previous 17 games without facing a left-handed starting pitcher, the longest stretch of any of the other MLB teams. That streak ends today as Arizona’s Eduardo Rodriguez takes the mound against them. If the O’s can pull off the […]
The Orioles entered spring training with a majority of their roster already set. The most surprising move came when Baltimore optioned Dean Kremer to Norfolk at the beginning of the season. The O’s signed Chris Bassitt to a one-year deal, and the front office decided to roll with Bassitt and Zach Eflin as the fourth […]
Triple-A: Durham Bulls 4, Norfolk Tides 3 (F/10) The Tides got out to an early lead thanks to a three-run 3rd, but their offense went silent after that as they fell to the Bulls in extras. Durham raced out to an early 1-0 lead thanks to a pair of doubles in the 2nd. Outfielder Jacob […]
Good morning Birdland, For a while anyway, last night’s game felt like one the Orioles were destined to win. Vibes were off the charts. Their manager, Craig Albernaz, was sitting in the dugout despite breaking a whole bunch of bones in his face the previous night. Staff ace, Trevor Rogers, was on the mound and […]
Well, it was bound to happen. Trevor Rogers was bound to have a bad night. Unfortunately, it happened in a game where the Orioles’ offense was unable to make the most of its opportunities. It was really only one bad inning of pitching. But it was too much for the Orioles to overcome, leading to […]
After last night’s exhilarating comeback win, it feels inevitable that tonight will be a letdown. But if momentum is the next day’s starting pitcher, maybe not. Because tonight’s starting pitcher is ace Trevor Rogers, who has pitched to a 1.89 ERA in three starts this season. In his most recent start, Rogers allowed two runs […]
In many ways, the main goal of the Orioles’ 2026 season was not to repeat the 2025 season. Through the first 16 games of the season, the O’s have certainly been more competitive than they were to begin last season. However, one unfortunate aspect of 2025 that has followed the Orioles into 2026 is the […]
Welcome to the second installment of Camden Chat’s minor league weekly recap. All four of the Orioles’ full-season affiliates are up and running with their usual six-game weeks, and there have been quite a few early standout performances. Let’s jump right into it. Triple-A Norfolk Tides Tides hitters struggled to get, you know…hits. They had […]
Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! And what a good morning it is, waking up after the most exciting Orioles game of the young season. Down 7-1 going into the bottom of the sixth, your favorite baseball team scored eight runs in the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings to come from behind and secure a 9-7 victory. […]
OK, folks. That was fun. The Orioles pulled off their most incredible victory of the young season, rallying back from a six-run deficit in the sixth to score eight unanswered runs and shock the Diamondbacks, 9-7. Jeremiah Jackson’s grand slam — the first of his two homers — whittled away the deficit in the sixth […]
Ladies and gentlemen: Dean. Is. Back. After a two-week banishment to Triple-A Norfolk to start the year, Dean Kremer is back in Baltimore and ready to make his Orioles season debut tonight. It ends one of the more bizarre sagas of the Orioles’ early 2026 season, in which Kremer — who hadn’t pitched in the […]
Along with near-daily injuries suffered by the Orioles comes daily roster moves. The team made another flurry of moves to keep a healthy set of players up on the MLB roster ahead of Monday’s game against the Diamondbacks, with two players landing on the 60-day injured list, one getting selected from Norfolk to MLB, and […]
The Arizona Diamondbacks are on a frustrating path. After a surprise trip to the World Series in 2023, they have been unable to recreate the magic. They won 89 games in 2024, which was good for third place in the NL West. It was also the number of wins needed to capture a wild card, […]
In last week’s episode of the podcast, there wasn’t much to be happy about with the Orioles since they were coming off a 1-5 week. They may not have entirely chased the concerns away from everyone’s minds by flipping that around and going 5-1 since that time, but it’s an awfully nice start, and thanks […]
The Orioles entered the year with plenty of public pessimism around their bullpen. Their newly-signed closer was coming off of the worst stretch in his career, they were already dealing with injuries to key members of the group, and much of the unit was unproven at the major league level. While the 2026 season is […]
Triple-A: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (MIA) 2, Norfolk Tides 0 Look, Brandon Young was excellent in a losing effort, posting a quality start with six scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and a walk while striking out five on 75 pitches. Unfortunately, Jacksonville’s Braxton Garrett was slightly better: he no-hit the Tides for six innings, needing […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Your eyes do not deceive you. Take a gander at the AL East standings and you’ll find the Orioles atop the division (well, along with the Yankees and Rays in a three-way tie). The O’s, who a week ago at this time were practically left for dead, are back above .500 […]
One way that the 2026 Orioles season continues to emulate the 2025 one is the way that injury news is a daily feature. Following Sunday’s 6-2 win over the Giants, O’s manager Craig Albernaz provided updates on three players who have recently had issues pop up: Ryan Mountcastle, Tyler O’Neill, and Adley Rutschman. O’Neill was […]
A stellar start by Cade Povich, supported by key contributions at the plate from the previously slumping Pete Alonso and Samuel Basallo, led the Orioles to a 6-2 win at Camden Yards on Sunday afternoon. They have now won five of six and are tied for first place in the AL East. This was the […]
It’s going to be a beautiful day in downtown Baltimore. Clear skies. A modest breeze. Highs near 70. That’s baseball weather, folks, and I can think of no better setting for the Orioles to take a series from the visiting Giants. It will be up to Cade Povich to make it happen. To the surprise […]
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 3, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (MIA) 2 It was a very good night for Levi Wells, who retired the first 13 batters he faced. The 14th batter reached on an error by the rehabbing second baseman, Jackson Holliday. The 15th batter doubled, putting runners on second and third with one out in the […]
Hello, friends. Can we possibly make it a day without there being any bad Orioles injury news? Yesterday was not the day, with the O’s losing Adley Rutschman to the injured list due to left ankle inflammation before the game even began and then having Ryan Mountcastle exit the game early after having an awkward […]
Tonight was a weird one. The MASN broadcast booth got its second consecutive day off with Baltimore playing on national television. The Orioles defense added insult to some unfortunate injuries, and Chris Bassitt looked better despite experiencing some more bad luck. A runner was called out for interference, Ryan Helsley pitched in a non-save situation, […]
