Orioles vs. Dodgers discussion
The Orioles have struggled when facing winning teams this season. Here we are with them opening a three-game series, on the road where they’re also bad, against the team with the best record in all of baseball, the Dodgers. The on-paper stuff doesn’t point to an Orioles series victory, or perhaps to any Orioles victories […]
Most Orioles fans think the team is headed for trade deadline sell-off
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. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. The Orioles remain tantalizingly close in the AL Wild Card race despite multiple games per week where they […]
Orioles-Dodgers series preview: Hollywood swinging
Baseball is the sport with the most parity on a night to night basis, particularly in the regular season. The worst team can beat the best team, and no one really bats an eye. That is part of what made the Orioles series with the Dodgers back in September so magical. The Orioles were in […]
Why are the Orioles a (not even quite) .500 Team?
I shouldn’t mislead you: the Orioles are not hovering at .500 right now, because they’re actually sitting at 35-41 (.461), fourth in the AL East, staring up at the Yankees, Rays, and even the Blue Jays. I can’t even analytics our way out of here: their Pythagorean record, the model that predicts wins based on […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/19: Shorebirds score 10 runs, still lose by 11
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets 6, Norfolk Tides 5 – F/10 The Tides took a 5-3 lead into the ninth inning but allowed two to tie and were walked off in the bottom of the 10th. Norfolk got on the board first with two runs in the second. José Barrero walked, then came in on a single […]
Orioles news: Cal Ripken is coming to (maybe) help
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Another series, another series loss. The O’s dropped the opening leg of their three-city road trip with a 2-0 shutout loss to the Mariners yesterday, which you can read about in my game recap if you’re so inclined. If you missed the game, don’t worry; so did the Orioles’ offense. The […]
O’s offense no-shows again in rubber game loss to M’s, 3-0
If I had asked you this morning to name the only team in Major League Baseball that hadn’t yet been shut out this season, how many guesses would it have taken you to arrive at the Orioles? For me it would have been 30. This offense has had so many pitiful, uncompetitive performances this season […]
Thursday afternoon Orioles game thread: at Mariners, 4:10 ET
The Orioles’ first two games on the West Coast this season have brought mixed results. Game one in Seattle was a stinker for the offense, which generated just one hit and no runs after the first inning in a lamentable 3-1 loss. But the Birds rebounded last night with a well-played 5-3 win that featured […]
All of the ways that Orioles hitters aren’t measuring up to their league peers
The 2026 Orioles have not yet escaped from the road to disappointment. Maybe they never will. Although the weak middle of the American League keeps them from being insurmountably far out of the race already, the early results haven’t been fun from these guys. They needed to come out of the gate ready to prove […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/18: Figueroa hits two homers, Frederick sweeps double header
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 6, Syracuse Mets 5 All six of the Norfolk runs came in to score on home runs. José Barrero hit two long balls and drove in three runs, and so did Jud Fabian. Barrerro is up to 14 homers on the season while Fabian has just reached double digits at 10 overall. […]
Orioles news: What would an O’s sell-off look like?
Good morning, Camden Chatters. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Orioles aren’t a very good team. No, it’s true. Film at 11. If this West Coast road trip turns out particularly poorly for the Birds and knocks them further out of the playoff picture, the O’s could be forced to […]
Bradish punches out 12 as O’s sink Mariners in all-around win, 5-3
If you’re an eagle-eyed consumer of random Orioles stats, you might have seen that the Orioles are 7-3 on Wednesdays, so this game was pretty much in the bag before a pitch was thrown. Or was it that incredibly involved handshake Pete Alonso and Adley Rutschman tried out in the dugout? Or was it … […]
Wednesday night Orioles game thread: @ Seattle, 9:40 PM
So, that was annoying. Last night, the Orioles kept us up late just to get one total hit after the first inning, going quietly into the Seattle night. You joining us for another round? Look, it’s possible that George Kirby makes for an easier target for O’s hitters. After debuting in 2022, the Rye, NY […]
Early All Star vote returns are indicative of Orioles problems
Almost a year ago, I wrote that the lack of Orioles All Stars told the story of their disappointing first half. Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. This year’s team features a new manager, a prized free agent signing, and a beefed up rotation. Still, the Orioles appear to be […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/17: Sosa homers in big Baysox win
Triple-A: Syracuse Nationals 6, Norfolk Tides 3 A great start from Nestor German went to waste, as the Tides’ bullpen allowed four runs in the 8th inning to turn a win into a loss against Syracuse. German was dominant early on, setting down the first six batters he faced, including three by strikeout. Already up […]
Orioles news: O’s open west coast swing with poor offensive showing
Good morning Birdland, It looked like the Orioles were still operating on east coast time and up past their curfew in the 3-1 loss to the Mariners on Tuesday night. The first inning was somewhat encouraging. Taylor Ward opened with a double and later scored on a Samuel Basallo single. But the entire lineup collected […]
O’s offense sleepwalks in Seattle, Orioles lose, 3-1
If tonight was any indication of what this Orioles’ West Coast road trip has in store, then don’t bother staying up late for these games, O’s fans. You’d be better off getting to bed at a reasonable hour and saving yourself the torture. The Orioles offense failed to show up for their opener in Seattle, […]
Tuesday night game thread: @ Mariners, 9:40 pm
Late night baseball, woo! Let’s do this thing. I’ll be honest, I probably won’t make it to the third inning of this thing. But one thing that might keep me up is tonight’s starting pitcher, Brandon Young. It still hasn’t stopped feeling weird to say that he’s the best starting pitcher on the team, but […]
Are the Orioles going to end up as trade deadline buyers or sellers?
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. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Nearly halfway into the season, the Orioles remain a frustratingly inconsistent team. At times they look […]
Orioles-Mariners series preview: The M’s again, only this time out West
Mariners: Take Two. Tonight, the Orioles begin the second round of seven games in eleven days against the Seattle Mariners. It started last week at Camden Yards, with a 2-2 split. Josh Naylor won Game 1 with a grand slam; Game Two was a loss in extra innings; Game Three saw Jackson Holliday hit a […]
Do the Orioles have a Gunnar Henderson problem?
It was a rough weekend for Orioles star shortstop Gunnar Henderson. With two outs in the bottom of the 9th Saturday, Gunnar took a fastball to the ribs from Padres reliever Ron Marinaccio, presumably as retribution for Xander Bogaerts being hit in the head by a pitch earlier in the game. That moment sparked a […]
Orioles minors weekly recap: Two Joseph Dzierwa outings
We are into the middle of June and the Orioles are still playing a confusing season where they seem to be teetering on the edge of making it a lost season where there’s no consolation but what is happening on the farm. They also are managing to avoid falling over the edge, at least so […]
Orioles news: A daunting West Coast trip looms
Good morning, Camden Chatters. If you’re looking to unplug from the Orioles for a while, you’ve got an easy excuse for the next week and a half. The Orioles are off to the West Coast, where six of their next nine games will start at 9:40 PM EST or later. That’s a lot of late, […]
Podcast: Long winning streaks keep eluding the Orioles
Another week of confusing 2026 Orioles baseball is in the books. After looking like they were heading back to the cellar by losing the first two games of the Seattle series, they ripped off three straight wins and, facing a Padres team with a struggling offense, had a chance to finally get in a longer […]
The Orioles defense is a problem with no easy in-season fix
The Orioles didn’t lose on Sunday because of their defense, but it certainly didn’t help. In the top of the ninth inning the middle infield duo of Gunnar Henderson and Jackson Holliday combined for three errors in the span of two batted balls. That set the table for the fifth and final Padres run of […]
