Wild Card Round Game 1 open chat
Is there anybody out there who made some October plans back when the season looked bleak for the Orioles and then had to sweat it out a bit because, what if they actually rallied and made the postseason? I am in this group. Back in June when it looked like the O’s would never really […]
Brandon Young was one of the best stories of the year
Through 7 2/3 innings, Brandon Young was perfect. Twenty-three Astros up, twenty-three Astros down. It was August 25, 2025, and 33,654 fans at Daikin Park, not to mention a busload of Young family and friends from Lumberton, Texas, were watching an undrafted rookie flirt with the 25th perfect game in major league history, to the […]
Creed Willems missed his chance at the majors, had strong AAA season
Since being drafted in 2021, Creed Willems has steadily worked his way up through the minor leagues. An eighth-round draft pick out of high school, Willems hung around on the Orioles’ prospect lists in the mid-levels, but never did enough to really cause a stir (if you don’t count his kickass mullet). Willems spent all […]
Orioles news: Bradish surgery, Westburg starts hitting
Hello, friends. There are 176 days remaining until the next scheduled Orioles game. Whether a game happens on that date is not something that is certain at this time, and it will probably not be known until February, due to the coming ownership-induced lockout that will halt baseball until the owners either scale back the […]
Podcast: This disappointing Orioles season is over
After giving themselves a real chance as the month of September began, the Orioles promptly stumbled and mostly ended their hopes of getting anywhere good. When the dust finally settled at season’s end, they were five wins short of a wild card spot in the chaotic, weaker-than-usual middle of the American League. There is no […]
The 2026 Orioles roster was littered with non-contributors
With the 2026 season officially behind us, Camden Chat will spend the next several weeks reviewing the performances of some of the Orioles’ most prominent players this year. But before that, let’s pour one out for all the non-prominent players who made an appearance for the 2026 Orioles. The blink-and-you-missed-them, “wait, that guy was an […]
Trey Gibson grew up in front of our eyes this year
When Trey Gibson took the mound for the nightcap of the Orioles’ September 23 doubleheader against Toronto, there was little reason to expect much. The 24-year-old was only there because Baltimore’s rotation had run out of healthy arms: Kyle Bradish was sidelined with a sports hernia, and the Orioles needed an extra starter for the […]
Orioles news: The off-season begins
Happy Monday, Camden Chatters! The 2026 regular season has ended. And for the Orioles, the end of the season was a literal washout. Yesterday’s game between the Orioles and Yankees was technically delayed for about three hours yesterday, but I think we all knew the game wasn’t going to be played. The weather in New […]
Orioles vs Yankees discussion
Orioles @ Yankees, 1:05 pm (originally scheduled for 3:05)TV: MASN/YES We made it, team. It’s the final game of the season. There is no denying that this has been a disappointing season for the Orioles. With a win today, they’ll finish at 80-82. I have seen a lot worse baseball than that over the years, […]
Orioles news: The O’s season ends today
Good morning, Camden Chatters. We’ve made it. We’re finally at the finish line of this slog of a 2026 Orioles season. The O’s play their final game of the season today at Yankee Stadium. Or maybe they won’t even play it! The weather forecast in New York isn’t great, and the game time has already […]
Orioles news: O’s final off day before wrapping up season
Good morning Birdland, We know the Orioles have already been eliminated from the playoff picture, but it’s possible that their regular season is over a day or two early as well. They played a double-header with the Yankees on Friday, where the teams split the games. The Orioles walloped their hosts 10-2 in the opener […]
Orioles lose familiar game to Yankees with many strikeouts, bad defense
After beating the Yankees in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader by a 10-2 score, the Orioles came out for the nightcap with a lineup that featured Jeremiah Jackson as the cleanup hitter, Rece Hinds as the right fielder, and included Yohel Pozo and José Barrero at the bottom of the order. As you already […]
Alonso hits two more HRs in 10-2 Orioles win over Yanks
This just in, ladies and gentlemen: Pete Alonso is really good at baseball. The Most Valuable Oriole continued to be the best thing to happen to this franchise in a long time, adding two more homers to his league-leading total in a 10-2 blowout win to open a doubleheader against the Yankees. Whatever other things […]
Friday Evening Orioles Victory GIF Party
It is Friday evening. The Orioles have beaten the Yankees in the first game of a single admission doubleheader, winning a 10-2 blowout. Pete Alonso hit two homers in the game to increase his season homer total to 43 and RBIs to 113, Dylan Beavers blew the game open with a grand slam, and Jeremiah […]
Orioles vs. Yankees discussion
This is it. The final series of the 2026 Orioles season. And we’ll knock out two of the three games in one fell swoop as the O’s and Yankees play a doubleheader today. Because of this weekend’s impending nor’easter, Saturday’s scheduled game was moved up to this afternoon, giving the Orioles their second straight doubleheader. […]
Orioles vs Yankees series preview: The season ends in New York
Yesterday afternoon, while the Orioles were enjoying their day off, they were eliminated from the postseason race. The Chicago White Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals 9-1 to clinch the third Wild Card spot. This was just a formality; the Orioles have been out of the race for a few weeks. I know this was […]
Which Orioles need the biggest bounceback in 2027?
The Orioles were officially eliminated last night. The White Sox beat the Royals 9-1, just as they were supposed to, and clinched a Wild Card spot. Munetaka Murakami drank champagne and told us, lo and behold, he’s Japanese. And the Orioles, meanwhile, watched, helpless to their fate. At 78-81, the best they can do now […]
Wehiwa Aloy might be the Orioles shortstop of the future
The conventional wisdom around drafting amateur players, especially the later in gets in the process, is that it’s essentially a crap shoot. There’s a lot of opinions and variables to sift through, and the reality is that many times even the best talent evaluators are going to get it wrong. But other times, it can […]
Orioles news: O’s officially eliminated
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles’ dreams of the 2026 postseason, such as they were, are officially dead. Last night, the White Sox won in Kansas City to clinch a playoff spot and mathematically eliminate the Birds from wild card contention. It’s over. Of course, it’s actually been over for quite some time, even if […]
The Orioles have been eliminated from the 2026 postseason
It’s finally over. The chance of the Orioles reaching the postseason for the 2026 campaign is officially zero. They were done in not through any last failure of their own that occurred today, instead getting eliminated on an off day because their miracle path involved the White Sox losing their final four games against the […]
Enrique Bradfield Jr. remains a speedy defender with questions at the dish
The first sign of progress in the Mike Elias era came with a small consequence. The Orioles finally fell out of the top 10 in the 2023 MLB draft. The Orioles selected Enrique Bradfield Jr. with the 17th overall pick that year. At the time, Bradfield was billed as a plus defender with elite speed. […]
Orioles news: O’s sweep doubleheader, stave off elimination
Good morning, Camden Chatters. It’s Sept. 24 and the Orioles are, technically, still alive in the postseason race. Will wonders never cease? The Orioles’ elimination number remains at 1 after a productive Wednesday in which they swept a doubleheader against the Blue Jays to close out their Camden Yards schedule for 2026. Combined with a […]
Gibson dazzles as O’s complete sweep of Jays
The Orioles closed out Camden Yards in fashion on Wednesday night, beating the Blue Jays 4-2 for the second time, completing a sweep of both the double-header and the series, while staving off playoff elimination for a least a few more hours. Trey Gibson was called on to make the spot start, his first time […]
Orioles vs Blue Jays discussion
The Orioles needed three things to happen today in order to stave off elimination from playoff contention for another day. First, they needed the win Game 1 over the Blue Jays. They did that, beating them 4-2 thanks to yet another Pete Alonso home run, a solid showing from Chris Bassitt, and a dominant performance […]
Orioles eliminate Blue Jays from playoff race in game 1 of doubleheader
The Orioles avoided being eliminated for at least a few more hours by winning the first game of their doubleheader against Toronto on Wednesday afternoon. In the process, they officially eliminated the Blue Jays from postseason contention. Too bad, so sad. In short, Chris Bassitt got the better of Max Scherzer in the Old Guy […]
