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 […]
Whatever else can be said about the 2026 Orioles, you’ve got to give this to them: They’re really committed to the bit. The problem for everyone who would prefer if they win games is that the bit the Orioles are committed to is the steadfast refusal to ever go on any kind of extended winning […]
It’s impossible to tell the story of the 2026 Orioles without mentioning injuries. The same can be said about the 2025 Orioles, the 2024 Orioles, and really every other team. Injuries are always part of baseball, but sometimes they play a larger role than others. Jordan Westburg will miss the entire 2026 season after undergoing […]

Plus Mark Trumbo's very nice words about O's fans!
Good morning Birdland, Yet again, a fourth consecutive win eluded the Orioles. Their mini winning streak came to an end in Anaheim on Tuesday night with a 5-1 loss.

ANAHEIM–What happened? Shane Baz had been pitching well for the Orioles. Since May 15th, Baz had delivered five quality starts in seven outings. His start on Tuesday night wasn’t very good.

ANAHEIM— Infielder Jordan Westburg had Tommy John surgery on May 14th, and he’s glad he’s with the Orioles this week for their series against the Los Angeles Angels. “It’s just a really nice breath of fresh air to be able to catch up with these guys,” Westburg said before Tuesday night’s game. “I can only […]

Tonight, the Orioles will play their 81st game of the season, marking the mathematical halfway point of the regular season. The best they can do is 39-42. That’s disappointing relative to preseason hopes that this thing would get turned around, but this first half really could have been a lot worse than it was. Whatever […]
After tonight’s game with the Angels, the Orioles will officially reach the 81-game mark of their 2026 campaign. Heading into Game 81, it’s safe to say that the first half of the O’s season has largely been disappointing. Seen by most as a strong wild card contender heading into the season, Baltimore currently sits below […]
It is almost time to turn the calendar to July. Over the next month, the Orioles farm could be drained if the team plays well enough for Mike Elias to try to make real upgrades at the trade deadline. Or it could be stocked again if things go the other way. A lot depends on […]
If you didn’t know any better, if you hadn’t been watching the rest of the 2026 Orioles season, you could be tempted after a game like this one to conclude that things are definitely going to be okay with the Orioles. Maybe we are in the middle of where they’re finally doing it. Maybe. They […]
Good morning Birdland, These Orioles are gonna make me believe in them again, aren’t they? Their 6-1 win on Monday night in Anaheim made it three in a row, and they did it in impressive fashion. Kyle Bradish tossed eight scoreless innings, Taylor Ward and Coby Mayo hit home runs, Gunnar Henderson had three hits, […]

Blaze Alexander, the team’s hottest hitter, needed to leave the game an inning after fouling a ball off his right knee. Jackson Holliday was out of the lineup for the second straight game with groin […]
Question: Outside of the performance of Frederick, our three other minor league teams (not including the Complex League) are perfectly dismal in what appears to be all aspects of the game. Can any of this lack of performance be attributed to the type of players that the parent organization drafts or signs as undrafted players? […]
ANAHEIM—Orioles third baseman Blaze Alexander was removed from Monday night’s game against the Los Angeles Angels in the third inning with right knee discomfort. Alexander struck out in his only at-bat, in the second inning. He was replaced at third base by Leody Taveras, normally an outfielder. Taveras, who fielded the first ground ball hit […]
The Orioles announced they’ve selected Chadwick Tromp onto the MLB roster just before the start of tonight’s game in Anaheim. They designated outfielder Michael Siani for assignment to open space on the active and 40-man rosters. Baltimore moves back to a three-catcher setup for the time being. Tromp will back up Samuel Basallo and Sam Huff […]
