Latest news and updates about the Orioles
Ahead of Friday’s spring training game against the Phillies, the Orioles delivered some news: Trevor Rogers is going to be the Opening Day starting pitcher. Though we had some spring weather in Birdland home territory over in the week, things have headed in a colder direction today, so it’s nice that this game will be […]
With 13 days to go before Opening Day, the Orioles have their starting pitcher. The team announced before Friday’s spring training game against the Phillies that the dominant star from last year, Trevor Rogers, is getting the nod for the first start of the season. On one hand, it’s no surprise that the guy who […]
Here are the lineups for today’s Grapefruit League matchup. Let’s discuss! For the Phillies: For the Orioles:
Things are getting real, people. The Orioles’ 2026 season begins in just under two weeks, with a home opener against Minnesota on March 26th. The spring has had its fun and games, but it’s nearing time to make final roster cuts. With that, let’s summarize what we’ve learned, with an eye to roster decisions. Some […]
Remember 2022? We kept waiting for the Orioles to call up Adley Rutschman, the 2019 #1 draft pick. When Mike Elias chose to bring him up, there was little time to prepare. The move was announced at 8 a.m. on Saturday morning, the same day as Preakness. Rutschman tripled in that first game, and heated […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles had their final off day of spring training yesterday, and now it’s an all-out sprint to the end of camp. The O’s will play 13 games in the next 11 days, which includes a pair of split-squad games next Thursday, the prospects-only Spring Breakout game next Friday, and games […]
Jacob Webb is another well-traveled veteran reliever, having had stops with the Braves, Angels, Orioles, Rangers, and now the Cubs. He’s 32 years old, was drafted by Atlanta in the 18th round in 2014, and has been pretty dependable, throwing to ERAs in the threes for the most part. He walks a few more people […]
Welcome to the 2026 Pre-Season Contest! This is the 15th year that the current version of the contest has been in place. Back in 2011, the contest had 27 questions, including 15 “Which will be higher?” that featured gems like, “Which will be higher – Brian Matusz’s ERA or a gallon of gas at Royal […]
Coby Mayo is definitely not the biggest star in Orioles camp, but he’s casually become the center of attention. Mayo has put his bat on full display while hitting .500 (13-for-26) with a homer, three doubles and 10 RBIS. But it’s not just his performance at the plate. Fans, media, and Baltimore’s front office are […]
Happy Thursday, Camden Chatters! Spring training is rolling on and yesterday was Kyle Bradish’s time to shine. Bradish made the start against the Pirates and went five strong innings. He threw 73 pitches and allowed just one hit and one walk. He topped 97 mph several time. After Bradish, Chris Bassitt came in and finished […]
If it feels like a long time since you’ve seen Kyle Bradish on the mound for the Orioles, you’re not imagining things. Bradish hasn’t pitched a Grapefruit League game since Feb. 28, a full 11 days ago. But that changes today, as he takes the hill against the Pirates in Sarasota. Bradish gave up two […]
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Baltimore Orioles, March 11, 2026, 1:05 p.m. ET Location: Ed Smith Stadium, Sarasota, FL How to Listen: KDKA-FM 93.7 The Pittsburgh Pirates are back in action today with a game where they will take on the Baltimore Orioles in Spring Training. Please remember our Game Day thread guidelines. BD community, this is […]
The Orioles started the day with a 7-9 record in the Grapefruit league. That means the team has won seven games and lost nine. It really doesn’t mean anything else. It’s always fun to watch the Orioles win, but spring performance shouldn’t be used as a measuring stick for future success. Baltimore cant prove in […]
We’ve reached a point in the Mike Elias-led reimagining of the Baltimore Orioles that many have clamored for for years: Dean Kremer is no longer guaranteed to be a member of the Orioles’ rotation. For the last several seasons, Kremer has been the player who has most epitomized Baltimore’s struggles to adequately address their starting […]
Good morning Birdland, The baseball world is looking at Team USA manager Mark DeRosa with a raised eyebrow right now. His club lost to Italy on Tuesday night, 8-6, in their final game of pool play. Italy now leads Pool B with a 3-0 record, USA is second at 3-1, and Mexico is in third […]
The O’s are making the 3.5-hour trip across Florida to West Palm Beach this afternoon, taking on the Astros at CACTI Park. Most of the regulars are staying in Sarasota, but the Birds’ lineup today includes four projected Opening Day starters — Dylan Beavers, Colton Cowser, Samuel Basallo, and Coby Mayo — along with a […]
The Houston Astros (5-8-3) host the Baltimore Orioles (7-8-2) in Grapefruit League play. RHP Lance McCullers Jr. is set to start for the Astros, with RHP Levi Wells starting for the Orioles. TODAY’S STARTER: This is Lance McCullers Jr.’s second appearance of the spring. He previously pitched one shutout inning on Feb 27 vs. the […]

It’s no secret that the Orioles have a problem developing pitching under the Mike Elias regime. When Brandon Young debuted for the O’s last April, he became the first undrafted free agent to debut for the Baltimore since 2019. A month later, Kade Strowd became the first pitcher drafted by Elias to debut for the […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. We’re just past the halfway point of the Orioles’ Grapefruit League schedule. The O’s played their 17th game yesterday — not including their exhibition against the Netherlands WBC team — and took a 7-2 loss to the Cardinals in Jupiter (the city, not the planet). Most of the Orioles’ regulars didn’t […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will take the field at Roger Dean Stadium today as the Baltimore Orioles roll in for another Spring Training game. It’s a split-squad day as another Cardinals lineup will be playing the Houston Astros. According to MLB.com, Matthew Liberatore will make the start for the Cardinals and the starter for the […]
This offseason, the Orioles acted like a team focused on the present. They gave out a big contract to a slugger on the “wrong side” of thirty. They traded a pitcher with four years of control for an outfielder that will be gone in a year. And they swapped a package of four prospects and […]
Hello, friends. There are now 17 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. Another two weeks of exhibition games remain between now and then, with the last two of these coming as a home-and-home between the Orioles and Nationals. Today’s action, with the O’s facing a Cardinals split squad, is scheduled to air on MLB Network […]
Two weeks remain until the Orioles head north from Sarasota. At least for the next few days, nicer weather up in Birdland makes it feel like spring here rather than a lingering winter. That’s nice. Also nice is that today’s game will be aired on MASN and on the Orioles flagship radio stations in Baltimore. […]
Hello, friends. There are now 18 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. From now through March 23 will be near-daily exhibitions where hopefully nobody will get injured and everybody will get ready to fill the role they are needed to fill this season. This afternoon, they’ll play the Blue Jays at 1:05 in a game […]
