Tuesday night Orioles game thread: vs. White Sox, 6:35pm ET
Probable pitchers: RHP Trey Gibson (1-2, 5.64 ERA, 25 Ks) vs. RHP Erick Fedde (2-6, 4.34 ERA, 50 Ks) Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ Last night, the Orioles lost the series opener to the White Sox, dropping their third game in a row and falling eight games below .500. Baltimore’s current 39-47 record matches their season […]
Why now is the time for the Orioles to be buyers
We are one day away from the start of July, meaning trade season is about to descend upon MLB. On July 1st last year, the O’s sat 11 games below .500 and seven games out of a playoff spot. That led to one of the biggest deadline fire sales in franchise history, with Baltimore sending […]
Orioles minor league weekly recap: Bradfield’s bat heats up, Irish is an OBP machine
Back in the olden days — you know, 2019-21 — Orioles fans turned their attention to the minors for reasons to be optimistic while the major league club was unwatchable. This year, with the O’s again on the verge of being an unredeemable train wreck, it’s natural to keep an eye on the farm and […]
Orioles News: Another ugly loss to fall eight games under .500
Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! Did you watch the game last night? It was not great. There were a few good things, like Shane Baz’s seven-inning, two-run start. Colton Cowser played good defense in center field and walked twice. Birthday boy Gunnar Henderson had two hits and a walk. Other than that, it was another bad […]
Baz battles, bullpen wilts, and offense no-shows in Orioles 8-2 loss to White Sox
The Orioles’ recent funk continued on Monday night as they dropped their series opener with the visiting White Sox 8-2. The Birds have now lost three in a row and five of their last six. This game was close as could be through the first seven innings. Shane Baz was wild but effective, allowing just […]
Monday night game thread: vs White Sox, 6:35
Once again the Orioles are at risk of spiraling completely out of contention. Next up on the schedule is a three-game set with a surprisingly solid White Sox squad. Fortunately for the Orioles, these games are at Camden Yards. The Orioles actually having a winning record (23-21) at home, while the White Sox have been […]
Orioles-White Sox series preview: A first-place team comes to town…really
Before the season began, if I told you that the Orioles’ last series in June would be against the Chicago White Sox, and that one of those teams would be in first place, which team would you guess it would be? Probably not the White Sox! And if I asked you again after the Orioles […]
Podcast: Two years since things were good with the Orioles
We didn’t know it at the time, but when the calendar turned to July two years ago, that was the end of the good run for the Orioles. They had a losing record that month, the next, and in all finished the second half of the 2024 season with a .500 record, followed by a […]
What do the Orioles have in Coby Mayo?
The optimism that surrounded the Orioles a few years ago was the result of a well-stocked farm system that had already begun producing big league talent. Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson debuted in 2022 on an Orioles team that over-performed expectations. The 2023 campaign brought the debut of Jordan Westburg, a Cy Young-calber season from […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/29: Tides split doubleheader, Delmarva’s offense explodes
Triple-A: Durham Bulls 7, Norfolk Tides 0 (F/7) Norfolk’s Nestor German allowed four runs in the game’s first two innings, and since the Orioles got one-hit by three Durham pitchers, this added up to a loss. Cameron Weston allowed three runs in 1.2 innings of work, and José Espada pitched 1.1 scoreless. The only Tides […]
Orioles news: O’s drop another series
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: the O’s just lost a series that they absolutely should have won, all because they did a whole lot of dumb stuff. The Birds’ latest embarrassment came against their regional rival Nationals, who completed a season series win, four games to two. The […]
Orioles drop series with 6-4 loss to Nats
Baltimore starter Kyle Bradish only allowed one hit today against the Nationals. If you’re looking for a positive story, you should probably stop reading now. The lack of hits did not bring the desired results. Bradish walked five hitters in only four innings of work, and Washington’s Luis García Jr. tortured Baltimore in a 6-4 […]
Sunday afternoon Orioles game thread: vs. Nationals, 1:35
Adley Rutschman and Dylan Beavers will both return to the field this afternoon as the Orioles look to win the series against Washington. Baltimore activated Rutschman and Beavers earlier today. They optioned Jeremiah Jackson to Triple-A Norfolk and designated Sam Huff for assignment. Rutschman missed over a week after taking a ball to the head, […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/28: Baysox throw one-hitter
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides vs Durham Bulls (TBR) – PPD The Tides and Bulls were rained out last night and will make up the game today as part of a doubleheader. Double-A: Chesapeake Baysox 4, Harrisburg Senators (WAS) 1 It was a very good day for Baysox pitching. Three pitchers held the Senators to just one […]
Orioles news: Mike Elias on the direction of the team
Hello, friends. The 2026 Orioles are at it again. This is not a complimentary statement. Last night’s loss, good grief, what can you even say at this point? They find ways to lose. They should be better than a team that finds ways to lose and they aren’t. There’s a lamentable amount of ongoing bumbling. […]
Orioles give away another winnable game, lose to Nats, 4-3
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 […]
Orioles game chat: vs. Nationals, 7:05
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 […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/27: Kremer with a scoreless rehab start
Triple-A: Durham (Rays) 4, Norfolk Tides 1 Rehabbing major leaguer Dean Kremer gave this one a good shove, with 6.2 scoreless innings where he gave up only two hits and a walk, notching eight strikeouts along the way. This was an efficient outing as well, as it only took him 79 pitches to do all […]
Orioles news: A welcome return home for the Birds
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 […]
Friday Pride Night Orioles GIF Party
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!)
Trevor Rogers shines brightly on Pride Night, O’s beat Nationals, 3-1
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 […]
Friday night Orioles game thread: vs. Nationals, 7:05 ET
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 […]
Orioles-Nationals series preview: Battle of the Beltways heads to Baltimore
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. […]

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. MLB’s announcements of the first round of All-Star voting yesterday made it official that the Orioles will not […]
Why are the Orioles losing so many close games late?
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 […]
