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 […]
Young settles in, Orioles take series with 7-4 win over Miami
For the second consecutive game, the Orioles jumped ahead with three-runs in the first inning. Unfortunately, for the second consecutive game, Baltimore failed to hold its early lead. The Birds gave three back in the first, but Brandon Young found his groove. The offense kept its foot on the gas, and Young delivered a quality […]
Wednesday night Orioles game thread: at Marlins, 6:40
The Orioles found some momentum yesterday with a thrilling 9-7 victory. Baltimore bounced back from a brutal four-game sweep in New York over the weekend, and the O’s will look to take another step in the right direction with Brandon Young on the mound tonight. Young impressed in his first two outings before hitting a […]
Orioles injuries leave no room for player regression
Despite a gutsy win last night, the Orioles are playing like a bad baseball team right now. There’s no point in sugar coating things after that long weekend in New York. They haven’t been eliminated from playoff contention, and last night’s result helped, but things still look bleak in Birdland. Maybe we’ll look back on […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/6: Dzierwa dominates in Keys victory
Triple-A: Gwinnett Stripers 5, Norfolk Tides 3 The Stripers scored two runs in the 7th and the 8th as the Tides dropped the series opener with a come-from-behind loss in Norfolk. The Tides fell behind early thanks to a Gwinnett homer in the top of the 3rd. Norfolk starter Nestor German left a fastball over […]
Orioles news: Orioles snap losing streak, show promise on offense
Good morning Birdland, Our five-game nightmare is over! The Orioles got back into the win column on Tuesday night, beating the Marlins 9-7. The offense gets the credit for the win. Each time the Marlins would claw their way back into the game, the Baltimore bats would nudge it just a little further away. Pete […]
Basallo, Alonso lead O’s to 9-7 win, snap five-game skid
The Orioles’ five-game losing streak is over! They beat the Marlins 9-7 on Tuesday night in Miami, bringing an end to the ugly stretch of play that plagued them over the weekend. It was a game that was highlighted by impressive offensive performances, which covered up some questionable work on the mound. The bats came […]
Tuesday game thread: at Marlins, 6:40
It’s been a rough couple of days for the Orioles. That series in the Bronx was an absolute disaster, and it likely has the entire clubhouse on edge. Those games felt like they were from another era. It had early-2000s vibes, a time when the Yankees still had most of the players from their dynasty […]
Orioles-Marlins series preview: A trip to Miami
Wow that was ugly. After a four-game sweep at the hands of the Yankees, the Orioles are making like the snowbirds, leaving the Bronx for the sunnier climate of Miami, and frankly, it’s a relief. The Marlins are a less scary opponent, but they can’t be taken lightly, either. (And these hot-and-cold Orioles have had […]
The fatal flaws dooming this Orioles team
The Orioles went into New York this past Friday trying to prove they were better than their middling record. Instead, they walked away on the wrong end of a four-game sweep, looking more like a team trying to avoid a last-place finish than one contending for a playoff spot. Each of the four losses in […]
Orioles minor league weekly recap: Keys prospects continue to excite
The Orioles are currently putting together the kind of season that will leave everyone looking to the farm for something to get excited about for the future. This was not supposed to be happening in 2026. A lot of things were not supposed to be happening in 2026. Here we are anyway. To be determined […]
Orioles news: The Orioles stink again. Now what?
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The 2026 Orioles season is, technically, not over. But you’d be forgiven for feeling like it is. After watching the disgrace that was the Orioles’ four-game series at Yankee Stadium, in which the Birds were swept and outscored by 29 runs without ever holding a lead themselves, it’s fair to wonder […]
Utter humiliation: Orioles lose 12-1, get swept out of Yankee Stadium
They say it’s very hard to sweep a four-game series in baseball. But they must not have watched the 2026 Orioles. In an inevitable result, the Yanks completed the sweep of the Orioles with a 12-1 win in the finale. Aaron Judge’s first-inning homer dug the O’s a hole from which they never escaped, with […]
Monday night Orioles game thread: @ Yankees, 7:05
The Orioles will try to win tonight to avoid a four-game sweep and a five-game losing streak. After watching the last four games, it’s hard to get a lot of enthusiasm up for this one, I’ll be honest. I’ve been feeling pretty low about this team of ours. But I also know that if they […]
Podcast: On the assumptions that built this Orioles roster
This time a week ago, it felt like the Orioles were treading water and that as long as they could continue doing that, they might avoid a disastrous outcome to the season. It’s harder now to feel like the Orioles are staying afloat after what we’ve watched over the first three games of this series […]
The Orioles reached an inflection point this weekend
For the first month of the season, it seemed like the Orioles were comfortable treading water. But now, in the midst of a four-game losing streak, including three at the hands of the rival Yankees, it feels more like the team is drowning. A club with a rookie manager and an influx of veteran talent […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/4: Trimble, Perez go deep for Delmarva; Bencosme homers in Baysox loss
Triple-A: Nashville (Brewers) 5, Norfolk Tides 1 Sunday marked the Triple-A debut for Trace Bright, the fifth-round Auburn righty who has now spent parts of three years in Double-A. It went… fine. Bright lasted just 2⅔ innings, walking four and striking out four against just two hits, allowing two runs. Last month, Bright was named […]
Orioles news: A terrible weekend in New York
Happy Monday, Camden Chatters! It was a pretty lousy weekend for baseball as the Orioles got beaten up pretty good in New York. Yesterday’s game was the latest in a string of ugly losses. Trey Gibson made his Major League debut and held his own, but the rest of the game was a bust. The […]
Orioles blow Gibson’s debut, lose to Yankees 11-3
There was a large chunk of today’s game when the Orioles were in it. They came back from a deficit to tie the game at 3-3, they made some noise against lefty ace Max Fried, and Trey Gibson did not implode as so many starting pitchers have for the Orioles lately. When they fell behind […]
Sunday afternoon game thread: At Yankees, 1:35
It is an understatement to say that things have not gone well for the Orioles in New York this weekend. They have been outplayed at every turn over the last two games and it’s hard to imagine things turning around today. Top Orioles pitching prospect Trey Gibson is in New York to make his Major […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/3: Norfolk wins despite being out of starting pitchers
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 5, Nashville Sounds (MIL) 2 With most of their starting pitchers in New York this weekend to pitch for the Orioles, the Tides went with a bullpen game. They did a pretty good job! Cameron Weston started and allowed a solo home run in 2/3 of an inning. That was the only […]
Orioles news: Trey Gibson’s MLB debut coming today
Hello, friends. As is often referenced in GIF form, “Oh no, we suck again!” Two days of playing the Yankees has made it feel as if the list of Orioles problems is proving insurmountable, that nothing is going to go right this year, that the theory of the case that Mike Elias had for this […]
Bradish fails to play stopper, Yankees best Orioles 9-4
On paper, Kyle Bradish is Baltimore’s top starter with Trevor Rogers on the IL. Unfortunately, the righty failed to pitch like it today. Bradish couldn’t play stopper for the struggling Orioles, and the Yankees ran away with a decisive 9-4 win in the second of a four-games series. Bradish continued a disappointing string of starts […]
Saturday afternoon Orioles game thread: at Yankees, 1:35
The Orioles filled up the transaction board as they prepared for today’s game against the Yankees. Baltimore added fresh arms to the bullpen by activating Dietrich Enns and Nick Raquet. To make room, the O’s optioned Tyler Wells and designated Albert Suárez for assignment. Enns is back from the injured list after suffering a left-foot […]
