Orioles avoid sweep by White Sox as bats show up for Kremer’s return
The Orioles did not get swept by the White Sox. They decided to try something different in the series finale, getting a good outing from the starting pitcher, a respectable amount of offense, and a clean game on defense. They would be higher up in the standings if they got this more often. On Wednesday […]
Orioles vs. White Sox discussion
It is July 1 and it doesn’t matter if the Orioles win today. It would be nice if they won. That’s always true. It’s just that this swoon over the past four games, added on top of the overall underwhelming play, is a strong sign that they are cooked for their postseason hopes. How cooked? […]

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Orioles fans and fans across the country.

What changes can the Orioles make right away?
The Orioles keep finding ways to beat themselves. This isn’t a hot take or even a fresh one. The book is out on the Baltimore Orioles. There are several talented players, but they will not beat you with sound baseball. They are the opposite of those pesky teams that play the game the right way […]
Orioles minor league recap 7/1: Bright pitches six strong in Tides loss
Triple-A: Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 3, Norfolk Tides 2 The Tides gave up two runs in the 7th to break a 1-1 tie and couldn’t complete a comeback in their loss to the RailRiders. The two teams entered the bottom of the 7th deadlocked at one apiece, only for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take the lead with some small […]
Orioles news: O’s continue downward spiral with fourth straight loss
Good morning Birdland, It’s officially July, which means trade season will soon be open. Last year, the Orioles traded away reliever Bryan Baker on July 10, when they were 10 games under .500. and seven games back of the final wild card spot. While dealing away a middle reliever isn’t necessarily a sign of surrender, […]
Orioles bombarded early, can’t respond in 9-3 loss to White Sox
In Monday’s loss to the White Sox, it took Chicago until the 9th inning to score their eighth run of the game. Tonight, they only had to wait until the 3rd inning, as the Southsiders clobbered Orioles’ starter Trey Gibson en route to a 9-3 blowout of Baltimore. After only lasting four innings last time […]
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 […]
