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 […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/2: Aloy, Figueroa homer for Frederick
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 6, Nashville (Brewers) 5 The Tides had to go with something of a patchwork pitching staff for this game, as the scheduled starter, Trey Gibson, was moved around to set up potentially joining the MLB team tomorrow. Norfolk jumped to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first, helped in part […]
Orioles news: Helsley hits the IL, O’s lose to Yankees
Good morning Birdland, Sometimes it feels like the Orioles are in a free fall, and then you look at their 15-17 record and realize that things could be much worse. Yesterday was one of those days. Before their 7-2 loss to the Yankees on the Friday night, the Orioles got some bad injury news. Their […]
Orioles fall behind early, never recover in 7-2 loss to Yankees
Two early Yankees home runs dug the Orioles a hole they couldn’t fly out of, as the O’s dropped their series opener in the Bronx 7-2. As we’ve seen many times this season, a disastrous 2nd inning put the Orioles behind early and ruined the outing for Povich. With the game tied at 1-1, Povich […]
Orioles Friday night game thread: at Yankees, 7:05pm ET
Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ Probable pitchers: LHP Cade Povich (1-0. 2.19 ERA, 7 K) vs. RHP Will Warren (3-0, 2.59 ERA, 37 K) After hovering around .500 for much of the season’s first month, the Orioles travel to the Bronx looking to make a statement against the AL East leaders. Per Baltimore Sun beat reporter […]
Orioles-Yankees series preview: Facing the first-place team
If you haven’t been paying much attention to non-Orioles baseball so far this year, I regret to inform you that the 2026 New York Yankees are a good team. Their 20 wins are the most in the American League. They have scored 153 runs, second-most in the AL. They have allowed 106, which is the […]
Would the Orioles be good if they were healthy?
A few years ago, The Athletic ran a story asking whether the ’23 Orioles were lucky or good. The piece was an annoying attempt to gainsay the team’s 101-win season based on BABIP and expected ERA, things like that. Well, we certainly showed them. The ’23 Orioles got bounced from the playoffs immediately, and since […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/1: Bateman deals, Tides split doubleheader
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 5, Nashville Sounds (Brewers) 2 —Game 1 F/7 The Orioles kept Sam Huff in the organization with a fresh minor league deal after he cleared waivers and elected free agency last week. The move ensured that Baltimore could turn to Huff if either Adley Rutschman or Samuel Basallo went down with an […]
Orioles news: A doubleheader split; Palmer eats wings
Good morning, Camden Chatters. If you were looking for a perfect six-hour encapsulation of the Orioles’ 2026 season so far, look no further than yesterday’s doubleheader against the Astros. The opener of the twin bill showcased how gloriously high the Birds’ potential can be when everything is clicking…and then the second game harshly reminded us […]
After Game 1 blowout, Orioles close doubleheader by getting blown out
You could hardly get a better representation of the 2026 Orioles season than the doubleheader that they played against the Astros on Thursday. In one game, they swung the bats well and got some pretty good pitching and they blew out the Astros. Check out Paul Folkemer’s recap of the first game. That one was […]
Bassitt hounds Astros, O’s hit two grand slams in big 10-3 win
It’s almost a shame the Orioles have another game of baseball to play today, because it’s going to be hard to top their game one performance. The O’s opened a doubleheader with an all-around fantastic win over the Astros, 10-3. Chris Bassitt posted his most impressive outing as an Oriole by a long shot, shutting […]
Thursday doubleheader Orioles game thread: vs. Astros, 12:35
Are you ready for 6+ hours of Orioles/Astros action? Well, too bad. You’re getting it anyway. Last night’s rainout has set up the Orioles’ first doubleheader of the season. They’ll play their regularly scheduled 12:35 game followed by the makeup game about half an hour after the first one finishes. Last season the Orioles played […]
Orioles minor league recap 4/30: Irish and Aloy homer in Frederick win
Triple-A: Nashville Sounds (Brewers) 7, Norfolk Tides 4 It’s almost impressive that the Tides lineup managed to go 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position, largely squandering their nine hits and five walks. Jud Fabian drove in two of the runs with his sixth home run of the year. He also walked once and scored twice. […]
Orioles news: Doubleheader scheduled; Rogers ill
Hello, friends. It’s a two for the price of one kind of day for the Orioles today. When I was a younger person, these events were not to be missed. If your life leaves you free to get to Camden Yards today, I heartily recommend going. You can probably get a cheap ticket on the […]
Orioles minor league recap 4/29: Tuft finishes just short of cycle in Baysox win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides at Nashville Sounds (Ppd.—Rain) The series opener between the Tides and Sounds was rained out on Tuesday. Norfolk and Memphis will play a make-up doubleheader on Thursday. Double-A: Chesapeake Baysox 11, Erie SeaWolves 3 Three Baysox players launched home runs as Chesapeake took an early lead and never looked back in their […]
Orioles news: Orioles begin series with win over visiting Astros
Good morning Birdland, That was the sort of win this team was built to pull off. Shane Baz provided his best start as an Oriole, earning his first win in the process. Gunnar Henderson set the table, stole a base, and scored twice. Adley Rutschman, Pete Alonso, and Samuel Basallo combined for five hits and […]
Shane Baz and the Orioles handle the Astros, 5-3
Tonight marked the third series in a row in which the O’s have faced a last-place team. Are the Orioles a good team? We’re not sure. But right now, Houston has the worst record in the American League and is down a whole outfield, a shortstop, practically an entire bullpen… Surely, given the depleted […]
Tuesday night Orioles game thread: vs. Astros, 6:35 pm
Tonight begins the third series in a row in which the O’s face a team currently sitting in last place in its division. It’s unusual to find the Astros resembling that remark, as they’ve been consistently good for the better part of a decade, making the playoffs eight times in the last ten years. The […]
Orioles-Astros series preview: The final series before things get tougher
For a third series in a row, the Orioles come up against a team that is currently in last place in its division. This is a surprising statement to make for this next opponent, the Astros, who have consistently been pretty good over the last decade. It is early to give up on them and […]
Trevor Rogers and Kyle Bradish can turn it around
After Friday night’s record-setting win over the Red Sox, Birdland should have been feeling good about the O’s winning their first AL East series of the season. After all, Baltimore went into the weekend with ace Trevor Rogers taking the ball Saturday and former top-5 Cy Young finisher Kyle Bradish pitching the series finale. Perfect […]
Orioles minor league weekly recap: Nate George sparks potent Keys offense
It’s Tuesday morning on Camden Chat, which means it’s time for our usual recap of the good, the bad, and the ugly from the Orioles’ minor league system during the past week. Triple-A Norfolk Tides Welcome to the organization, Christian Encarnacion-Strand. The 26-year-old, a former top Reds prospect, has done nothing but rake since the […]
Orioles news: Another last place team comes to town
Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! Did you enjoy the off day? After two losses to the Red Sox, including one absolute beatdown, it was nice to get away from baseball for a day. After losing the series to the last-place Red Sox, the Orioles welcome the last-place Astros to town for a three-game series starting tonight. […]
Podcast: The Orioles are fine treading water, for now
The Orioles have gone 3-3 over the last week. You might have been hoping for more since they were playing two last place teams in this time, and there was the extra factor of the Red Sox firing their manager mid-series. Yet it was the Orioles who got embarrassed in the game before Boston chucked […]
Are the Orioles about to have a big problem in center field?
Two years ago, Colton Cowser nearly won AL Rookie of the Year. Last year, he battled through multiple injuries and saw his production decline dramatically. And this year, Orioles President of Baseball Operations Mike Elias is being asked questions about whether or not the former fifth overall pick could be demoted to Triple-A soon. Elias […]
