As the baseball season winds down and the Orioles continue to flop at the bottom end of a weak AL Wild Card chase, Luke Jones and Nestor discuss all of the pending baseball issues in Birdland and question why in the world Mike Elias would be allowed to continue to run the operation. The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss pending baseball issues for Orioles now that season sinks first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.
Leave it to the Orioles. With just fifteen games left in this season, and the postseason most probably out of reach, this team has come up with one new, creative way to make headlines: on September 10, word came down that Matt Blood, vice president of player and staff development (and one of Mike Elias’s […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles just had something called — and I hope I’m spelling this correctly — an “off day.” Apparently it’s a thing where a team gets to not play baseball for a whole day? I had forgotten that such a concept even existed, considering that the Orioles just traveled from St. […]
Pete Alonso is unquestionably the Most Valuable Oriole. When the results of the MVO election are announced later this month, I expect that Alonso will be an unanimous winner. Alonso is hitting .268 with 34 home runs, an American League leading 97 RBIs and an .861 OPS. Not only has Alonso played in each of […]
Question: Whatever happened to the notion that good hitters could hit lefties and righties? The O’s think they can play the matchups — and while certain hitters hit lefties or righties better, can we get players who simply hit day in and day out? Even our situational hitters totally hit .220. That doesn’t win games. […]
The Rays were among at least four teams that placed a claim for Luis Robert Jr. when the Mets waived him in late August, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post. Kevin Acee of The San Diego-Union Tribune previously reported that San Diego placed a claim as well. Robert ended up with the Orioles, while […]
The Orioles have parted ways with one of president of baseball operations Mike Elias’ first hires, Matt Blood, who most recently served as vice president, player and staff development. The news was first reported by The Baltimore Banner and confirmed by an industry source. Blood, who was hired in September 2019 to oversee the minor […]
The Toronto Blue Jays probably won’t make the post-season unless they can get the better of the Baltimore Orioles from here on out. That doesn’t mean that every game is a literal must-win, or that their post-season chase would end with an unsuccessful weekend. No, it’s not necessarily that black and white, but the reality is that 40 per cent of Toronto’s remaining games come against Baltimore. Not only is there limited margin for error against any team when you’re a game back with 15 to go, bu...

Hello, friends. The Orioles yet linger, never quite doing enough to fully drop out of the picture and never quite doing enough to remain in the inner reaches of the race either. Wednesday’s 9-5 win over the Guardians meant the O’s got the series win against Cleveland, the team they’re chasing for the wild card. […]
BALTIMORE—Shane Baz can no longer say he doesn’t get run support. The Orioles equaled their biggest inning of the season, scoring eight runs on their way to a 9-5 win over the Cleveland Guardians before 16,222 at Camden Yards on Wednesday night. In Baz’s previous four starts, the Orioles scored eight runs. With the win, […]

Question: Which fan bases (say the top 5) have had the most misery? Where do the Orioles rank? From: Timothy Fowler Answer: Tim, if you ask Oriole fans, they’d say they’ve been through more misery than any other fan base. You could make a case that Cleveland, which the Orioles just finished playing, has been through […]

Selected in the second round of the 2025 Draft, MLB’s No. 89 prospect entered the Orioles’ system fresh off winning the 2025 Big Ten Conference Pitcher of the Year and was the highest-drafted pitcher since Baltimore GM Mike Elias took over in 2018.

The bats have vanished at the worst possible moment. Chicago squandered scoring opportunities in consecutive innings, went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position and fell to the Pirates, 4-2, on Wednesday night. Pittsburgh takes the series, but at least the Guardians did us a favor by losing to Baltimore, so the AL Central gap holds […]
Does anyone want to get the final wild-card spot in the American League? It’s hard to tell this week. The Cleveland Guardians, Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers all lost on Wednesday, meaning the standings are unchanged for a second day in a row. The Guardians remain one game ahead of the Blue Jays and 1.5 ahead of the Rangers for the third and final wild-card spot. The Blue Jays lost two of three to the lowly Athletics, while the Guardians dropped two of three versus the Baltimore Orioles, ...
A big third inning propelled the Orioles to a convincing 9-5 win over the visiting Guardians on Wednesday night at Camden Yards. For the second consecutive start, Shane Baz gave up a home run to the second batter of the night. Last time, it was a solo shot from Boston’s Mickey Gasper. Tonight, it was […]
The Baltimore Orioles placed infielder/outfielder Blaze Alexander on the 10-day injured list Wednesday because of lower back discomfort, creating another roster issue for a team with its playoff chances dwindling. Alexander was removed from Tuesday’s 9-5 loss to the Cleveland Guardians after experiencing lower back spasms. His condition did not improve enough by Wednesday, leading […]

BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles have placed versatile Blaze Alexander on the 10-day injured list and are hopeful that shortstop Gunnar Henderson can recover quickly from a knee injury that left him out of the starting lineup Wednesday night against Cleveland. Alexander was forced from Tuesday’s game against the Guardians with lower back spasms. His condition did not significantly improve by Wednesday, so the Orioles put him on the IL with lower back discomfort and recalled Jeremiah Jackson f...
By Darragh McDonald | at September 9, 2026 5:12pm CDT The Orioles announced today that infielder/outfielder Blaze Alexander has been placed on the 10-day injured list with low back discomfort. Fellow infielder/outfielder Jeremiah Jackson has been recalled to take his place on the roster. Alexander’s first season in Baltimore has been a fairly successful one. He has appeared in 93 games and stepped to the plate 289 times. He has a .303/.358/.414 batting line. That translates to a 121 wRC+, indi...
Jackson Chourio faced Jacob Webb in one of the first fistful of games of his career. It was April 2024, and the Brewers were in Baltimore, finishing off a shellacking of the Orioles. When he came to the plate, the Crew led 11-1, and although it was technically an RBI opportunity, there were no stakes; there was no reason to be especially locked-in. Chourio took a big rip at the first pitch and flied out harmlessly. The offering was a changeup, Webb’s signature pitch. It wasn’t exceptionally we...

Shane Baz starts have been a kiss of death for the Orioles this year. It’s not Baz’s fault. He has pitched fine this season, sometimes fantastic. But the Orioles do not win very often when he is on the mound. Baz has one pitching win since June 12. He has made 14 starts since then, […]
