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.

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 […]
Club's rotation is among MLB's best since mid-May
Hello, friends. The grind resumes. The Orioles are back at it tonight. Anything could happen. That’s the frustrating thing about these guys. They are really, genuinely capable of playing some good baseball. They have won quite a few games that could be real, signature wins, if only they had won a few more non-signature wins […]
The Tampa Bay Rays have been one of the better stories in baseball, but their lineup has a glaring weakness that a division rival could solve. Zachary D. Rymer of Bleacher Report predicted the Rays will trade for Baltimore Orioles outfielder Taylor Ward, calling the fit too obvious to ignore.
Why Ward Fits Tampa Bay
The Rays are getting a league-low 73 wRC+ from left field, an offensive black hole on an otherwise competitive roster.
Ward sits at a 127 wRC+ this season, almost entirely th...
Despite Wednesday’s inexplicable loss to the Los Angeles Angels, the Orioles still have an opportunity to qualify for the postseason. According to FanGraphs, the Orioles have a 26.2 percent chance of being an American League wild-card team while BaseballReference.com calculates their odds at 15.9 percent. After watching two disheartening losses, one at Dodger Stadium last […]
Question: With the O’s disappointing season, it makes sense that other teams will be looking to get a few Orioles with a trade. I would think other teams would like to acquire Adley Rutschman. With Samuel Basallo being signed long term and Adley’s contract getting closer to expiring, which team do you think would give […]
The Orioles announced that outfielder Michael Siani has cleared outright waivers and been assigned to Triple-A Norfolk. He had been designated for assignment earlier this week. This is his first outright and he has less than three years of service time, so he does not have the right to reject this assignment in favor of […]
If Baltimore Orioles fans had their way, these six players wouldn't be on the roster by July 1.

If you believe the baseball axiom that no game is more important than any other during the regular MLB schedule, you can stop reading this right now and enjoy a day off from what remains a very frustrating and befuddling Orioles season. The O’s lost a game to the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday that […]
Triple-A: Durham Bulls (Rays) 6, Norfolk Tides 4 – Game 1 One bad inning sunk the Tides in this one. The top of the third inning saw the Bulls send 11 batters to the plate and score all six of their runs for the game off of five hits (including a two-run homer), two walks, […]
Hello, friends. The west coast road trip of disappointment is finally over. At times, it seemed like it could have been something better than it was. If only the Orioles had scored more than six runs in three games against the Mariners. If only they hadn’t blown the series opener against the Dodgers. If only […]
Trevor Rogers will start Friday night’s game against the Washington Nationals. The 28-year-old left-hander was voted Most Valuable Oriole last year when he had a 1.81 ERA in 18 starts. Rogers was named the Opening Day starter and after three effective starts to begin the season, he hit a rough patch, went on the injured […]
Question: Who are some pitchers the Orioles didn’t draft in Rounds 1-3 the last few years who could have been good selections? From: Tom Gardner, Fulton, Maryland Answer: Tom, I’ll take the years 2020-2022 since the Orioles had an outstanding draft in 2019 with Adley Rutschman, Gunnar Henderson, Kyle Stowers, Joey Ortiz, Darrel Hernaiz and […]
Latest brutal loss was in 10 innings in Anaheim to end road trip
ANAHEIM–What happened? Twice, the Orioles seemed as if they were about to win the final game of their West Coast swing and secure a winning road trip. In the eighth inning, the Orioles surrendered a three-run lead with two outs as the Los Angeles Angels tied it, 5-5. In the 10th, after Pete Alonso’s RBI […]
The 2026 Orioles have played plenty of dumb, bad baseball. But the 10th inning of this 7-6 loss to the Angels on Wednesday afternoon in Anaheim may take the title for the absolute worst moment of the entire season. It also completely changed the tone of the now-concluded west coast road trip, which saw the […]
ANAHEIM— Jackson Holliday is not in the Orioles’ lineup for the fourth straight game due to groin tightness. He worked out at second base before Wednesday’s game with the Los Angeles Angels. “He’s in a good spot,” manager Craig Albernaz said. Albernaz was noncommittal about whether Holliday would be available during the game. “Balancing where […]
