Orioles overcome Tigers and torrential rain with 7-4 win
Tonight’s matchup at Oriole Park was not exactly the platonic ideal of what a baseball game should be. The weather was absolutely miserable. The teams were two of the worst in baseball. Let’s just say it’s not the kind of game you’d write wistful histories about. But the Baltimore Orioles versus the Detroit Tigers was […]
Friday Night Orioles Victory GIF Party
It is Friday night. The Orioles have beaten the Tigers by a 7-4 score. Gunnar Henderson had three hits, Pete Alonso and Jackson Holliday each homered, and four relievers combined for 3.2 scoreless innings to finish off the game, including a bounce-back outing from Anthony Nunez, as the O’s sent Detroit to their seventh straight […]
Friday night Orioles game thread: vs. Tigers, 7:15
It’s been pouring all day in the greater Baltimore area, but it appears we’re going to attempt to play baseball tonight, because the public won’t rest until they get to see two teams that are a combined 20 games under .500 do battle. People all around the country are hosting their Orioles/Tigers watch parties, and […]
Orioles-Tigers series preview: At another crisis point
At the beginning of May, the Orioles got their butts kicked for four straight games by the Yankees and they needed to act immediately to prevent the season from spiraling out of control. The O’s managed to do this in winning two of the next three series, including getting some revenge against the Yankees. A […]
Are the Orioles trying to hit the ball too hard?
You know your team’s season is going badly when … Oh, here’s a surefire one: in-organization fights start to erupt about why the team is playing badly. One erupted this week, as beloved MASN broadcaster and former pitcher Ben McDonald unleashed an on-air rant about the O’s overreliance on analytics. Following the O’s 5-3 loss […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/22: Kjerstad struggles in Norfolk loss
Triple-A: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins) 9, Norfolk Tides 2 With the Orioles idle, Norfolk represented the closest thing to a major league game last night. With that said, the outcome is about what you’ve come to expect. Jonathan Rodríguez hit a solo home run in the top of the first, but the Tides proceeded to […]
Orioles news: A season-defining homestand begins
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Can you believe the Orioles’ 2026 season is not even two months old? It’s felt like two decades. The shoddy pitching, the atrocious defense, the unproductive offense, the overall uninspired play — we’ve seen so much bad baseball already. And we’re less than a third of the way through the season. […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/21: Chesapeake and Delmarva lineups erupt in big wins
Triple-A: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins) 4, Norfolk Tides 2 Norfolk second baseman Payton Eeles had himself a big game, going 2-for-2 with three stolen bases, two walks, and a run scored. The rest of the lineup when 1-for-27 with five walks and 14 strikeouts. The only other hitter with a hit was Bryan Ramos. The […]
Orioles news: A new low point for the 2026 season
Hello, friends. We now sit at the lowest point of the 2026 Orioles season so far. After yesterday’s loss to the Rays, where they blew a 3-1 lead with two outs in the eighth inning and went on to lose by a 5-3 margin, the Orioles are 21-29, a season-low eight games below .500. They […]
Orioles swept by Rays after things fall apart in 8th inning
The Orioles were four outs away from staving off a sweep at the hands of the Rays and maybe fending off the feelings of impending doom around this team for a couple more days. They had a two-run lead, the tying run was only at the plate for the Rays, and then it all fell […]
Orioles live game chat: May 20 vs. Rays
Some time recently on Bluesky, I saw someone make a comment that resonated with me. They said that the thing about the Orioles this year is that it feels like every loss is going to lead to a ten-game losing streak and every win is merely a temporary reprieve. I’ve forgotten who said it; if […]
Orioles recent woes generate more questions than answers
Cheering for a lousy baseball team can be a real drag. As the season progresses, the margin for error shrinks. Outcomes become more crucial as the trade deadline creeps into the picture. It’s an unpleasant scenario where wins provide relief instead of joy. Each defeat hurts more and more as the season evolves into death […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/20: Chesapeake rallies for walk-off win vs. Somerset
Triple-A: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 5, Norfolk Tides 2 The Jumbo Shrimp scored one run in the 6th and two runs in the 8th to take Game 1 vs. the Tides on Tuesday. Norfolk came into the 6th down 2-1, but quickly tied the game thanks to a leadoff solo homer from José Barrero. That tie […]
Orioles news: Orioles wrap up nightmare road trip today
Good morning Birdland, This Orioles team is just not fun to watch right now. They lost again on Tuesday night, a 4-1 defeat to the AL-leading Tampa Bay Rays. At 21-28, the O’s are back in the division cellar, among the absolute worst teams in the entire sport. Once again, the offense was basically a […]
No-show offense, lousy defense cost Orioles in 4-1 loss
One night after the Orioles lost to the Rays because their pitching staff imploded, they lost again to the Rays because their offense failed to show up. Gotta hand it to the O’s — they might always lose, but they’re always keeping it fresh! The O’s suffered a 4-1 defeat at Tropicana Field in game […]
Tuesday night Orioles game thread: at Rays, 6:40
Three weeks ago, the Orioles visited the first-place AL East team — the Yankees at the time — and got utterly destroyed, losing all four games by a combined total of 39-10. Last night, they again visited the first-place AL East team — which is now the Rays — and got utterly destroyed in the […]
Can Jackson Holliday make this Orioles team better?
Yesterday, the Orioles announced the return of infielder Jackson Holliday to the roster. Holliday’s activation ends a 3+ month stint on the IL after surgery to repair a broken hamate bone in his right hand. Originally, the expectation was that the former No.1 overall pick would make his return sometime in mid-April. Then again, the […]
Orioles minor league weekly recap: Keys sweep the week, Dzierwa moves up
The promotions have begun. If you were waiting to go see this year’s possible breakout pitching prospect Joseph Dzierwa in Frederick, tough luck, because he’s headed to Double-A. You’ll have to find him now in Bowie, where the team that once called itself Bowie and now calls itself Chesapeake plays its home games. We can […]
Orioles news: The O’s embarrassed themselves again
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Somewhere, on a “Days Since Orioles’ Last Humiliation” sign, a sad-sack intern is resetting the counter to zero. Look, we all knew that the Birds’ visit to Tropicana Field, home of the American League’s best team with the majors’ best home record, had a strong likelihood of going sideways. But even […]
Trevor Rogers and the Orioles demolished by Rays, 16-6
Imagine I told you that the Orioles went into Tropicana Field tonight and got to starting pitcher Shane McClanahan for four runs in five innings. You’d be excited, right? McClanahan is one of the best lefties in baseball this year, and the Orioles are terrible against lefties. He came into this game on a 21.2-inning […]
Monday night Orioles game thread: @ Rays, 6:40
The Orioles start a very tough stretch of baseball tonight. Six of their next nine games are against the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays, who have the most wins in the American League. You can check out details of the Rays’ season so far in our series preview, but suffice it to say they have […]
Orioles-Rays series preview: This is gonna be a tough one
Back in March, if someone had said that the first Orioles-Rays series of 2026 would pit a 30-15 team against a 21-26 one, would you have correctly matched each team to its record? In most preseason prognostications of the AL East, pundits projected a tough, four-team race for the division title — and the Rays […]
Podcast: Orioles pack excitement, disappointment into one week
This time a week ago, all anyone could really do was dread the idea of the Orioles playing more games against the Yankees. After every game of the previous four-game set went embarrassingly badly for the O’s, another Yankees series could have been the thing that spins this season out of control. In this week’s […]
Rico Garcia isn’t just a bright spot, he’s been a beacon of light
Few players on this Orioles team have actually exceeded expectations so far this year, but Rico Garcia is a clear exception. The 32-year-old isn’t just a standout amongst his underwhelming teammates, he is pitching like one of the best relievers in baseball. The top line stats speak for themselves. Garcia’s ERA is a minuscule 0.45, […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/18: Jackson Holliday hits a triple, Kjerstad goes 2-for-4
Triple-A: Charlotte Knights (CWS) 15, Norfolk Tides 3 Whoops. A day after Norfolk’s seven-home run block party, Charlotte returned the favor, scoring ten runs in the last four innings, on four homers of their own. Five Tides pitchers were victims of this assault: no one escaped with their ERA intact, although some had it worse […]
