BALTIMORE–What happened? Earlier in the week, the Washington Nationals’ bullpen surrendered three late leads in consecutive losses to the Philadelphia Phillies. After Washington’s bullpen allowed two runs to the Orioles in the eighth inning for a 3-3 tie, it was the Orioles’ bullpen that lost the game in the 10th. Ryan Helsley (0-4) allowed an […]
It’s been mentioned on this site countless times before, but one thing about the Orioles is that they never let you feel good about them for very long. The O’s followed up Friday’s easy win with an excruciating, 4-3, 10-inning loss to the Nationals. The Orioles put themselves in an early hole through repeated defensive […]
The season series of the Battle of the Beltways is split so far, with two wins each for the Orioles and Nationals. The O’s struck the most recent blow with their 3-1 victory in last night’s series opener at Camden Yards. Now they’ll try to make it two in a row as they turn to […]
This feels like a game that the Nationals really need to have. They have lost 4 in a row, with the first three coming in brutal fashion. This offense has shown resiliency all season long, but has the bullpen kicked them in the teeth one too many times? Blake Butera is going with a very […]
BALTIMORE—The Orioles begin Saturday with a 39-44 record, and 1 ½ games back of the third wild-card spot. For the last two calendar years, the Orioles have a losing record, and president of baseball operations Mike Elias acknowledges he feels pressure. “I always feel a lot of pressure in this position,” Elias said to Saturday […]
Elias sees O's very much as buyers as trade deadline approaches
The Phillies have reached a minor league agreement with outfielder Tommy Pham, reports Jorge Castillo of ESPN. The veteran was most recently in the Orioles organization. Castillo adds that Pham can opt out of the deal on July 25. Pham is now with his third club in three months. He inked a minor league deal […]
The Philadelphia Phillies need to round out their rotation. The Baltimore Orioles could sell low on Trevor Rogers' expiring contract.
BALTIMORE—The Orioles reinstated pitcher Cade Povich, who’d been on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation, and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk. The 26-year-old left-hander, who was 1-1 with a 5.12 ERA in four games, three starts, with the Orioles, had two rehab starts with Double-A Chesapeake and was 0-1 with a 3.86 ERA. […]
The Orioles announced that they have claimed catcher Dom Keegan off waivers from the Rays and optioned him to Double-A Chesapeake. In other moves, they designated right-hander Kyle Nicolas for assignment and reinstated lefty Cade Povich from the 15-day injured list. The Orioles optioned Povich to Triple-A Norfolk. The 25-year-old Keegan entered the season as […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. It’s nice to be back home, isn’t it? The Orioles returned from their nine-game trek to the West Coast — their longest road trip in two years — with a solid victory against the Nationals on Pride Night to begin a six-game homestand. While one win over a reeling Nats team […]
Mgr Craig Albernaz said O's can't be "scared to lose"
BALTIMORE–What happened? Trevor Rogers continued his brilliant June with his third straight excellent start, allowing one run on five hits in 6 1/3 innings to lead the Orioles past the Washington Nationals, 3-1, before 26,901 at Camden Yards on Friday night. In Rogers’ previous start, he held the Los Angeles Dodgers to one hit in […]
It is Friday. The Orioles have returned home and beat the Nationals, 3-1. Trevor Rogers was good. Coby Mayo was also good! There were some shenanigans, but not enough to keep the Orioles from getting the win. YOU KNOW WHAT MUST BE DONE (GIFS!)
Happy Pride Night! After a rousing electric guitar version of the Star-Spangled Banner, the Orioles came on out and delivered an inspired Friday win, defeating the Nationals in a tidy 3-1 contest. It wasn’t the most explosive offensive performance ever, but left-handed starter Trevor Rogers certainly brought the energy, going 6 1/3 innings with a […]
Back to Baltimore march the Orioles, but we can’t say it’s with anything like momentum. The team went 4-5 in a nine-game road series against Seattle and both Los Angeles teams, at least several of those winnable games. The Birds probably should have swept the Dodgers, crazy as it sounds, but Ryan Helsley was fresh […]
We all know how the last three games have gone, but it is time to turn the page and move on to the Orioles series. As has been mentioned at length, this Nats team has been resilient this season. However, this upcoming stretch is the biggest test yet. It is tough to drop three games […]
BALTIMORE—The Orioles are back home for the final stretch before the All-Star break. They’ll play 12 of 15 games at home and will try to make up ground after their road trip ended with a disastrous 10-inning, 7-6 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday. The Orioles went 4-5, but first baseman Pete Alonso […]
No longer Kyle Bradish-ish, the Orioles’ erstwhile ace may be on his way back.

A few years ago, if you told Baltimore fans that they would sign outfielder Tyler O’Neill, they would have thought you were dreaming. In 2021, O’Neill was a Gold Glover and finished eighth in the MVP voting. Now, just in his second year with the team, the three-year, $49.5 million contract looks like a complete […]

The Orioles return to Baltimore this weekend as frustrating and confounding as ever, with the team returning home after their West Coast road trip. When the O’s left for their three-series West Coast swing against the Mariners, Dodgers and Angels, they were five games under .500 and two games out of a Wild Card spot. […]

After Wednesday night’s latest ridiculous late-innings collapse, our own Mark Brown concluded:“In a lot of ways, the specifics don’t matter as much as the fact that there’s always something stupid that finds a way to happen.” He has a point. Eighty-two games into the season, we can’t keep denying what this team is made up […]
Triple-A: Durham Bulls (Rays) 7, Norfolk Tides 5 The Tides led this game 5-1 before Durham exploded for six runs in the seventh inning. Norfolk starter Chris Kachmar tossed 4.2 innings of one run ball before things fell apart. Kachmar allowed six hits, walked three and struck out two. Christian Herberholz coughed up the six […]
