Latest news and updates about the Orioles
We’re into the second half of the season now, folks (not numerically, just post All-Star break), a stretch where a bunch of contending teams are going to go head-to-head in an attempt to separate the wheat from the chaff. So which one are the Orioles? More chaff than wheat … but only for the first […]
The second half of the season is officially underway. Unfortunately for Houston, they’ve started off on the wrong foot, disappointing the assembled crowd of 31,867 with a late inning blown lead. Orioles 3 Astros 2. The Orioles have now won five in a row and have passed Houston in the wildcard standings. Peter […]
It is Friday night. The Orioles have won a fifth straight game. No, really! Taylor Ward hit a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning, helping the O’s in a game where they only got five hits. A parade of pitchers, starting with Dean Kremer and including brand new Oriole Cam Sanders, contributed to holding […]
O's play three in Houston and three in Boston during important road trip
If you recall, prior to the All-Star break the Orioles had just climbed a hurdle they’d failed to yet surpass: a four-game win streak. Now, they’re a bit battered and bruised, what with late-inning relievers Ryan Helsley and Keegan Akin on the shelf, and hottest-hitter-of-late Blaze Alexander sidelined, sadly, with a fractured hand, thanks to […]
TONIGHT’S GAME: The Astros will open the second half of play tonight at Daikin Park as they welcome in the Orioles for a three-game series. RHP Peter Lambert (8-5), the Astros most consistent starter of the first half, will get the start for Houston opposite RHP Dean Kremer (1-2) and the Orioles. RIDING THE LAMBO: […]
The Orioles recalled right-hander Cam Sanders from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday before they play Houston in the first game after the All-Star break. Sanders was purchased from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday. In 15 games over the last two seasons with the Pirates, Sanders had an 8.44 ERA. He replaces left-hander Nick Raquet, who was […]
It’s hard to believe, considering how poorly the Orioles often played before the All-Star break, that they begin the second half still within shouting distance of a postseason spot. But the American League is, let’s face it, a giant mess. And so, as the O’s resume their 2026 schedule after their four-day break, they sit […]
Given where we are, it’s funny to be this mad about a season, and still be potential buyers. The Orioles have played ugly-looking baseball all season—too many K’s, too many caught stealings, too many boneheaded defensive maneuvers, the stars aren’t popping and the bullpen’s been dreadful—yet they still limped into the All-Star break with a […]
Hello, friends. Are you ready to start to think about the 2027 Orioles? This isn’t a statement about the team’s postseason chances. Rather, MLB released the regular season schedules for every team for next year, setting Orioles Opening Day for March 25 for a season that will run through September 26. That’s early! The looming […]
With the Orioles’ second half of the season about to begin at Houston on Friday night, let’s look at some questions about what happened in the first half and could happen in the second half. Who was the most surprising player of the first half? I have three picks. First, it’s Blaze Alexander, whom we […]
The Orioles on Thursday placed Blaze Alexander on the 10-day injured list with a broken left hand. Alexander, who’s played six positions so far this season, was hit by a pitch in the seventh inning of Sunday’s game against Kansas City by Lucas Ercag. The move is retroactive to Monday. Alexander is hitting .312 with […]
The Orioles released their 2027 schedule on Thursday, and they’ll open at Tropicana Field against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday March 25th. In an oddity, they’ll have March 28th, Easter Sunday, off and will open their home season on March 29th against the Toronto Blue Jays. The home interleague opponents are Miami (April 23rd-25th), […]
Hello, friends. The All-Star break continues. There’s still not going to be any more Orioles baseball until tomorrow when they start the non-mathematical second half of the season in Houston. We can hope the break is a good mental reset for those players who need one and a good physical reset for those who need […]
Adley Rutschman was once considered untouchable in Baltimore, but a rough stretch of team results and a franchise-altering contract extension have put the two-time All-Star catcher squarely in trade speculation. The Orioles signed 21-year-old catching prospect Samuel Basallo to an eight-year, $67 million extension, and with both players primarily catchers, the roster math has become complicated. Rutschman, who becomes a free agent after the 2027 season, is bouncing back this year with a .258...
Even though the Orioles enter the All-Star break with their only four-game winning streak of the season, and they’re close enough to dream about a wild-card berth, there’s still discontent among their fan base. President of baseball operations Mike Elias is the target of much of the fans’ ire. They’d like him gone, and while […]
Question: Do you think it likely that Aron Estrada will be promoted to take Blaze Alexander’s roster spot while he’s on the injured list? Estrada, a switch-hitter, is having a fine season at Double-AA Chesapeake and will need to be added to the 40-man roster after the season to be protected from the Rule 5 […]
To say that the Baltimore Orioles have struggled this year would be an understatement. The organization had its most productive […]
The Orioles announced that left-hander Keegan Akin has undergone Tommy John surgery. He will miss the remainder of this year and possibly all of 2027 as well. He’s already on the 60-day injured list and will stay there for the rest of the season. Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com was among those to pass the news […]
Orioles reliever Keegan Akin had Tommy John surgery on his left elbow on Wednesday. The surgery was performed by Dr. Keith Meister in Arlington, Texas. The Orioles say the surgery was successful. The 31-year-old left-hander, who is on the 60-day injured list, last pitched on June 27th, throwing two scoreless innings, allowing one hit against […]

Where do the O's rank in 100-pitch games?
Good morning Birdland, From an Orioles fan perspective, this All-Star Game reminded me of my childhood fandom. You see, during my formative years, the Orioles really stunk. But I liked baseball anyway. So I was used to watching the Midsummer Classic in anticipation of the few minor glimpses I might get of Miguel Tejada, Brian […]
I’m probably fooling myself to think that Mike Elias could give a hoot about my opinion or, for that matter, even knows that I still show up at the ballpark once in a while to see if the lights are still on. But I’m going to deliver a piece of advice, and I only need […]
