Orioles dodge no-hit bid, ride Mayo’s blast to 3-2 win
Tonight’s game was filled with “here we go again” moments. The Orioles scratched an injured player from the lineup before the first pitch, the opponent took an early lead on a home run, and the offense absolutely refused to produce against a left-handed pitcher. Baltimore appeared well on its way to a fifth consecutive loss […]
Monday night Orioles game thread: vs. Yankees, 6:35
The Orioles will look to pick up their first win over the Yankees tonight. Baltimore found itself on the wrong end of a four-game sweep at the beginning of May. Taylor Ward will leadoff and play left field. Adley Rutschman will handle the catching duties, but Samuel Basallo will still start as the DH against […]
Orioles-Yankees series preview: Hoping this one goes better
The Orioles were on the wrong end of a four-game sweep the last time they played New York. Baltimore is guaranteed to avoid the same fate in this series as the Yankees are only in town for three. Baltimore lost three in a row before picking up a 2-1 win on Sunday. The Orioles found […]
Podcast: On discontent with the Orioles lineup choices
This time a week ago, the Orioles season was in danger of spiraling out of control as they were in the middle of getting laughed out of the stadium in every game of a four-game set against the Yankees. Since then, they’ve stopped the tailspin for now, winning two against the Marlins and one against […]
What’s behind Gunnar Henderson’s early season struggles?
While this Orioles team entered the season with plenty of questions, the shortstop position wasn’t one of them. Gunnar Henderson’s name was etched in stone as perhaps the most dependable piece of Craig Albernaz’s lineup. Now healthy and fresh off of a solid showing at the World Baseball Classic, it felt like 2026 was poised […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/11: Trimble, Aloy, and Irish go back-to-back-to-back
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 4, Gwinnett Stripers (ATL) 1 Norfolk wasted no time in this one, posting a three-spot in the first inning, courtesy of Creed Willems’ three-run shot after shortstop Payton Eeles and outfielder Johnathan Rodríguez reached. The next inning, Ryan Noda took a leadoff walk, advanced on a Silas Ardoin single, and scored courtesy […]
Orioles news: The O’s are out of the cellar, for now
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Good news: the Orioles do, indeed, love their mothers. They made it a happy Mother’s Day with a 2-1 win over the Athletics that averted a three-game sweep. While the O’s offense again didn’t inspire much confidence, they delivered one of their best-pitched games of the season, holding their opponent to […]
Basallo stands tall as Orioles hold on to beat Athletics, 2-1
Ahead of Sunday’s series finale against the Athletics, the Orioles gave off the usual signs of chaos. There was a roster move to shuffle for a fresh bullpen arm who nobody really wants to see. There was a day-of decision to have Keegan Akin go as an opener instead of Chris Bassitt making a regular […]
Mother’s Day Orioles live game chat: vs. Athletics
The Orioles season is once again in danger of spiraling out of control, sinking close to a point beyond which one cannot reasonably hope that they will revive their fortunes even if they improved their play. Last year’s Orioles did manage that revival, of sorts, since they ended up being just about .500 under interim […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/10: Four losses on the farm
Triple-A: Gwinnett Stripers (ATL) 11, Norfolk Tides 3 Starting pitcher Trace Bright had a rough night, including a six-run second inning where he faced 11 batters and allowed six hits, including a home run, two walks, and three stolen bases. Overall, he gave up eight runs in four innings pitched. Relief pitchers Cameron Foster and […]
Orioles news: Boos come out as frustration mounts
Hello, friends. First and foremost, a happy Mother’s Day to all the moms of Birdland. May your favorite baseball team deliver you a win. The Orioles have certainly not been delivering wins for the moms or anyone else over the parts of the weekend leading up to Mother’s Day so far. The latest poor effort […]
Baz’s mistakes doom impotent O’s offense in 6-2 loss to the A’s
This game was summed up for me by two innings. Be warned; it’s not pretty. In the top of the third, the Athletics’ Brent Rooker came to the plate with two on and one out. Orioles starter Shane Baz had already given up a four-pitch walk and a single. Then, with the right-hitting Rooker up […]
Orioles Saturday afternoon game thread, 4:05pm ET
OK, so that was lackluster. The Orioles did it again on Friday night, taking a pedestrian starter in Jacob Lopez (err, that’s generous, even for someone with a 6.60 ERA entering last night) and making him look like an ace. They managed just two runs off of Lopez, both on solo home runs. So does […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/9: Keys win wild slugfest on walkoff homer
Triple-A: Gwinnett Stripers (Braves) 9, Norfolk Tides 1 — Game 1 (7 inn.) You wouldn’t know it by the final score, but this was a one-run game until the last inning, the seventh, when the Stripers erupted for seven runs to turn it into a blowout. Reliever Gerald Ogando got torched for five runs in […]
Orioles news: Baltimore bats continue to struggle
Good morning Birdland, The Orioles offense is a three-man operation at the moment: Pete Alonso, Adley Rutschman, and Samuel Basallo. All three of them contributed on Friday night, going a combined 4-for-9 with two home runs, three runs scored, and three RBI. That’s with Basallo beginning the day on the bench in order to catch […]
Orioles defense and hitting falters again in 4-3 loss to A’s
Two things have been true about the Orioles this season: their defense is terrible, and they can’t hit lefties. Both of these issues were front and center in tonight’s loss to the Athletics. Starting pitcher Kyle Bradish was as good as he’s looked all year, but the offense managed just four hits against the A’s […]
Orioles Friday night game thread: vs Athletics, 7:05
The Orioles are back home after a brutal 2-5 road trip. Tonight starts a six-game homestand with three games vs the Athletics followed by three games vs the Yankees. It would behoove the Orioles to get off to a good start against the A’s. The A’s are, in fact, a first-place team. They are just […]
Orioles-Athletics series preview: The AL West leaders come to Baltimore
In 2025, the Orioles and the Athletics were largely the same team. They finished within one game of each other (75 vs. 76 wins). They each sported young, promising stars—Gunnar Henderson for the O’s and Nick Kurtz for the A’s. And they were both largely undone by inconsistent pitching, with Baltimore finishing 26th in ERA […]
Mayo and Cowser: The Patience Test
For these Orioles, after the rotten 2025 they had, one thing was supposed to be true this year: this would be a lineup that could weather bad injury luck. Mike Elias signed Pete Alonso to a five-year, $155 million deal, added competent veteran outfielders in Taylor Ward and Leody Taveras, and supplemented the infield depth. […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/8: Aloy and Honeycutt go deep
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides vs. Gwinnett Stripers (Braves) PPD (inclement weather) The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader today Double-A: Chesapeake Baysox 4, Altoona Curve (Pirates) 3 The Baysox battled back with a two-run eighth to secure a 4-3 victory over the Curve. Brandon Butterworth, Frederick Bencosme and Ethan Anderson all walked […]
Orioles news: An ugly loss and another pitcher injury
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles’ get-right series against the Marlins took a wrong turn at the end. Not only did the O’s fail to complete the sweep by losing in the dumbest way imaginable — a walkoff throwing error — but they also suffered another injury to a starting pitcher. Cade Povich left his […]
Marlins walk off Orioles on 9th-inning error in 4-3 loss
A series of missed opportunities and a Coby Mayo 9th-inning error sunk the Orioles Thursday, as the Marlins walked off the O’s for a 4-3 loss. After the O’s tied the game in the 8th but couldn’t score in the top of the 9th, Andrew Kittredge entered to try and force extras. The start of […]
Orioles Thursday night game thread: at Marlins, 6:40pm ET
Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ Probable pitchers: LHP Cade Povich (1-1, 4.41 ERA, 11 K) vs. RHP Max Meyer (2-0, 2.68 ERA, 40 K) Turns out the only thing the Orioles needed to rejuvenate their season was a quick trip down to Miami. After being outscored 39-10 during a four-game sweep in the Bronx, the O’s […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/7: Chesapeake erupts for 19 runs, hits five homers
Triple-A: Gwinnett Stripers (Braves) 8, Norfolk Tides 6 Norfolk’s offense did some good things in the losing effort. José Barrero hit two home runs, bringing his season total to six. Creed Willems added a two-run shot, which was also his sixth round-tripper of the year. The only other RBI came from Christian Encarnacion-Strand, who went […]
Orioles news: Marlins series shows outline of possible rebound
Hello, friends. Here’s a hot take: It’s a lot more fun when the Orioles win than when they lose. We thankfully got another reminder of the fun of winning last night as the team kept piling on runs against the Marlins, eventually winning 7-4 to guarantee a win in the three-game set. Check out Alex […]
