Orioles minor league recap 8/15: Witherspoon K’s 9 for Frederick

Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 6, Gwinnett Stripers (ATL) 2 Weird fact alert: every run in this game scored on a two-run homer. Luis De León pitched a fine game for Norfolk, allowing two runs in five innings. The damage was done by old friend Maverick Handley, who is playing for Gwinnett. He hit a two-run home […]

Orioles fans split on Gunnar being good player for team again

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Orioles fans and fans across the country. The question of whether Gunnar Henderson will ever be good for the Orioles again is a subject of near-daily debate in Birdland. Each poor at-bat or misfire […]

Orioles news: O’s back within one game of final wild card spot

Good morning Birdland, That win felt pretty good! The 6-5 victory over the division-leading Rays, paired with losses by the Tigers, Twins, and Rangers moved the O’s to within just one game of the final wild card spot in the American League. Craig Albernaz deployed a new-look lineup that included Pete Alonso in the lead-off […]

Gunnar Henderson and Dylan Beavers come up clutch in 6-5 win over Rays

Dylan Beavers’ pinch-hit single in the 7th and Gunnar Henderson’s homer in the 8th powered the Orioles to a 6-5 win in their series opener in Tampa Bay. The AL-leading Rays came into Friday’s game riding a nine-game winning streak, but could never get ahead of the pesky Orioles. Baltimore and Tampa went into the […]

Friday Night Orioles Victory GIF Party

It is Friday night. Chris Bassitt returned from the injured list with 5.1 decent innings, Gunnar Henderson was dropped to the #5 spot in the order and responded by coming a classic “triple shy of the cycle” over a four-hit game where he drove in two runs and scored two runs, Dylan Beavers had two […]

Friday night Orioles games thread: at Rays, 7:10pm ET

Probable pitchers: RHP Chris Basssitt (4-4, 5.27 ERA, 37 Ks) vs. LHP Steven Matz (5-4, 5.46 ERA, 48 Ks) Where to watch:  MASN/MASN+ The Orioles had an opportunity in the immediate wake of yet another trade deadline sell-off. With series against bottom-feeder Angels and fellow Wildcard hopefuls in the Rangers and Twins, the O’s had […]

Orioles-Rays series preview: Facing the AL’s best team

This is a series that, on paper, is not setting up well for the Orioles. Their underwhelming performance of late has dropped them to the bottom of the AL East, though they are still within two games of the final wild card spot. Meanwhile, the Rays have surged to a nine-game winning streak that has […]

How did Brandon Young remake his game?

There is a lot to be negative about round these parts right now—the O’s have lost three of four series, find themselves last in the AL East, and seem ready to change the channel to 2027. I don’t need to perseverate. But this post is a conscious choice to focus on the positive. And one […]

Orioles minor league recap 8/14: Kjerstad homers, Trimble exits with injury

Triple-A: Gwinnett Stripers (Braves) 3, Norfolk Tides 2 – F/11 Heston Kjerstad hit a game-tying homer in the fifth, but the Tides dropped this one in 11 innings. Enrique Bradfield Jr. was thrown out at the plate in the tenth, and Anthony Nunez allowed the designated runner to score on a two-out single in the […]

Orioles news: New prospect lists, Tyler O’Neill rebound?

Hello, friends. Here we go. With 41 games to play, they sit two games out of the third AL wild card. This may be 2.5 games by the time you read this, depending on what happened with Texas out in Anaheim. They have a whopping five teams to pass to make it into a spot, […]

Orioles roster assessment: Who’s worth bringing back next year?

There are 41 games left to play in the 2026 Orioles season and although they continue to flirt with the fringes of the wild card race, the strong probability is that they are not going to make it into the postseason. It is going to have to be next year’s O’s in whom we pin […]

Orioles minor league recap 8/13: Dzierwa dominates in Double-A yet again

Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 6, Gwinnett Stripers (Braves) 5 – F/10 Trey Gibson battled through six innings and took a no-decision in this one. He allowed four runs on five hits, two walks, and eight strikeouts. The bullpen was solid in support. Dietrich Enns tossed two scoreless innings and struck out one. Codi Heuer was perfect […]

Orioles news: Another lost opportunity for the O’s

Good morning, Camden Chatters. This past week was the Orioles’ chance to decide whether they want to be serious contenders in the postseason race. Unfortunately, it appears they have made their decision quite clear. Presented with a golden opportunity to make up ground against two wild card opponents, the Orioles lost their series to both […]

Baz wastes lead, Orioles lose to Twins

Shane Baz has no one but himself to blame for this one. Between a lack of run support from his offense, substantial letdowns by his defense, and one especially terrible umpiring decision, Baz has racked up his share of hard-luck losses in 2026. As the Orioles tried to take their series against the Twins on […]

Orioles vs. Twins discussion

Even with the Orioles trying their darndest to bury their postseason chances on their own, the rest of the American League just refuses to do all that much to throw more dirt on this team. They linger on, two or three games out – currently two – and while it’s not terribly likely that they […]

Cam Sanders looks to build on a strong first impression

Plenty of fans have given up on the 2026 Orioles, but the other American League wild card contenders have done their best to keep hope alive. There are only a few good teams in the American League, and they all happen to play baseball in the AL East. The Orioles are not one of those […]

Orioles news: Alonso, Henderson power O’s to big win

Good morning Birdland, All the Orioles needed was a Brandon Young start to get themselves right. For whatever reason, the O’s bats are able to provide run support when Young is on the mound, and they did so again on Tuesday night. Three home runs in the first three innings gave the O’s an early […]

O’s blast off on Twins’ Ober, even the series, 5-2

“A pitcher’s nightmare, this game,” pronounced Kevin Brown as we headed into the fourth inning. It was true, we’d played six half-innings at that point and seen a run or more score in five. There were no easy ABs or quick outs. And while the runs dried up eventually, truly neither the Twins’ Bradley Ober […]

Tuesday night Orioles game thread: @ Twins, 7: 40 ET

It’s definitely been a frustrating road trip for the Orioles. They’ve had two series against wildcard contenders to stake their place in the playoff hunt, but the same flaws keep appearing. The offense just isn’t there, and the bullpen is wildly erratic. After dropping two of three to the Rangers last series, the Orioles got […]

Are the Orioles going to get another good season from Gunnar Henderson?

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Orioles fans and fans across the country. Of all of the things that cause angst about the 2026 Orioles, the struggle of Gunnar Henderson is the one that hits me the hardest. He was […]

Has selling ever actually helped the Orioles?

It’s been over a week since the most disheartening trade deadline sales job in Orioles history, and not much has changed for these Orioles. After last night’s loss in Minnesota, the O’s still find themselves just below .500, tantalizingly close to a Wild Card spot but with the foreboding sense that Baltimore will never actually […]

This week in the Orioles minors: New prospects make their mark

The trades that Mike Elias swung in the days and hours leading up to this year’s trade deadline brought a number of new names, and one familiar one, into the Orioles organization. Most of these are players who should be interesting to follow in the minors for this year and hopefully eventually on the major […]

Orioles news: Another loss sends O’s down wild card standings

Good morning Birdland, The Orioles came into this stretch of games with a chance to make their case as a team deserving of a spot in the AL playoffs. Instead, they have floundered, losing two of three to the Rangers and now the first game of a crucial series with the Twins. It was made […]

Kremer dominates Orioles, Birds fall 9-5

The Orioles traded seven-year veteran Dean Kremer to the Twins in exchange for 18-year-old outfield prospect Jhomnardo Reyes on July 31. The move subtracted a major league player from the roster, but it did not clearly identify the Orioles as sellers. Kremer missed a significant amount of the season with injury, and he struggled when […]
