Orioles ride 7-run 6th inning rally to another win over Rays
At this exact moment, the Orioles are tied for the third wild card spot in the American League. This is going to change as other games finish on Sunday. For now, that’s where they are. They pulled themselves up by exploding from having the bases empty and two outs in the seventh inning to score […]
Orioles at Rays discussion
It’s a been a fun weekend of Orioles baseball. Back-to-back wins over the AL-leading Rays, paired with some helpful outcomes elsewhere in the league, have inched the O’s to within half a game of the final wild card spot in the American League. Another victory today could push them into sole possession of that place. […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/16: Bradfield, Estrada reach base five times each
Triple-A: Gwinnett Stripers (Braves) 9, Norfolk Tides 6 — 10 inn. The Tides went to extra innings in a 6-6 tie, but a three-run top of the 10th for Gwinnett spelled defeat. The rarely scored-upon lefty Andrew Magno gave up all three runs to raise his ERA to 1.26. Before that, erstwhile Orioles Dietrich Enns […]
Orioles news: Wild card standings, Alonso cramps up
Hello, friends. It remains tough to know just what to say about these Orioles. Often over the course of this season, this has been bad, because the depth of their struggle almost defies explanation. Very nearly as often, this has been good, because you think you know what they are based on all of the […]
Orioles defeat Baker, Rays in extra innings 4-3
Tied after nine innings of baseball, the Orioles and Rays each turned to a member of their bullpen to try and keep the other team from scoring. For the Rays, it was Bryan Baker. Baker has transformed himself into a leading closer this year, posting a 1.55 ERA and a league-leading 34 saves. His last […]
Orioles vs Rays discussion
Welcome to Saturday night baseball, where two postseason hopefuls are facing off. I’m not saying these teams are all that similar, but they are both postseason hopefuls. I guess the Rays are more than hopeful, but you never know what could happen. After Pete Alonso batted first last night, tonight it’s Tyler O’Neill’s turn. I […]
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 minor league recap 8/12: Eric Booth Jr. collects first hit in Delmarva debut
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 4, Gwinnett Stripers 3 The Tides scored three runs in the 8th to pull ahead of the Stripers and held on for the win in the 9th inning. Norfolk came in the bottom of the 8th down 3-1, with their only run coming off a Luis Vázquez solo homer in the 6th. […]
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 […]
