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 […]
Orioles news: Gunnar Henderson had a nice weekend
Happy Monday, Camden Chatters! I hope you had a nice weekend. Things started off poorly for the Orioles with two losses to the Nationals, including an embarrassing 13-3 rout on Saturday. But they finished the series with a solid 7-3 victory to salvage one game. The offense yesterday was powered by home runs from guys […]
Orioles ride early offense to 7-3 win over Nats
The Orioles have played from behind far too often this season. Today they decided to try something different. Baltimore scored in each of the first four innings, and the bullpen stepped up after a short outing from Brandon Young. Gunnar Henderson, Coby Mayo and Colton Cowser all went yard, and the Orioles avoided a sweep […]
Sunday afternoon Orioles game thread: at Nationals, 1:35
Taylor Ward will bat first and serve as the designated hitter today as the Orioles look to avoid a sweep in DC. Ward will be followed by shortstop Gunnar Henderson and first baseman Pete Alonso. Samuel Basallo will do the catching with Adley Rutschman starting the game on the bench. Tyler O’Neill, Colton Cowser, and […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/17: Holliday homers in Tides win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 11, Charlotte Knights (CWS) 10 It was a real barn burner down in Charlotte last night. The Tides offense scored 11 runs on 13 hits without a single walk. The secret to their success? Dingers. Seven Tides went deep, including the rehabbing Jackson Holliday. He was joined by Johnathan Rodríguez, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, […]
Orioles news: Another pitching meltdown, Tommy Pham
Hello, friends. If the Orioles had been determined to do everything in their power to squander any good feelings or positive momentum from managing to win two out of three against the Yankees, the last two games against the Nationals would hardly have played out any differently. What was a close game yesterday got out […]
Hope turns to heartbreak as crazy 7th inning dooms Orioles to 13-3 loss vs. Nationals
After coming inches away from tying the game in the top of the 7th, a seven-run bullpen blowup in the bottom of the inning sunk the Orioles, leading to a 13-3 loss to the Nationals in DC. The Orioles offense finally came alive in the 7th after a lackluster first six inning for the Baltimore […]
Saturday afternoon Orioles game thread: at Nationals, 4:05pm ET
Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ or FS1 (National) Probable pitchers: RHP Chris Bassitt (3-2, 5.21 ERA, 26 K) vs. RHP Cade Cavalli (1-2, 4.02 ERA, 44 K) After an incredibly unlucky night for the offense on Friday, the Orioles look to even this season’s first Battle of the Beltways series tonight in DC. Most of Birdland […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/16: Holliday, Kjerstad continue rehab for Norfolk
Triple-A: Charlotte (White Sox) 4, Norfolk Tides 1 One might like to see better from a Tides lineup that has rehabbing big leaguers Jackson Holliday and Heston Kjerstad than to get just four hits in the game. One does not always get what one wants. Holliday and Kjerstad, batting at the top of the lineup, […]
Orioles news: O’s lose game and Westburg in same day
Good morning Birdland, Leave it to the 2026 Orioles to make a pitcher with an ERA near seven look like an all-star. Look, Zack Littell has been in the majors for nearly a decade and has put together multiple solid seasons. He’s not a random Triple-A arm making a spot start. But 2026 has been […]
Orioles drop series opener to Nats, 3-2
If there is one thing this Orioles team has been good at this year, it’s failing to maintain any momentum. They are coming off a feel-good series win against the Yankees and could have kept the good vibes going with a solid game tonight against a pitcher who has had no success this year. But […]
Friday night Orioles game thread: @ Nationals, 6:45 pm
I am going to recommend that the Orioles start off their six-game road trip strongly. Tonight they start a weekend series with the Nationals, who are not exactly a powerhouse. Then they travel to Florida to play the Rays, who are very scary this year. So let’s bank some wins! Shane Baz is starting for […]
Orioles news: Jordan Westburg had elbow surgery, out for the season
The Orioles have still not yet gotten one of the key parts of their Plan A on the infield in the 2026 season. Now, we know that they never will. The Baltimore Banner’s Andy Kostka reported on Friday afternoon that Westburg has decided to undergo surgery to repair the partially-torn ulnar collateral ligament in his […]
Orioles-Nationals series preview: The MASN Cup is no more
A matchup that was once known as the MASN Cup takes on a new identity this summer. The Nationals are now one of the many teams that works directly with MLB to broadcast their games locally. Meanwhile, the Orioles are back out on their own channel for the first since 2004, when they were still […]
