Why are the Orioles losing so many close games late?
After Wednesday night’s latest ridiculous late-innings collapse, our own Mark Brown concluded:“In a lot of ways, the specifics don’t matter as much as the fact that there’s always something stupid that finds a way to happen.” He has a point. Eighty-two games into the season, we can’t keep denying what this team is made up […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/26: Kjerstad goes deep
Triple-A: Durham Bulls (Rays) 7, Norfolk Tides 5 The Tides led this game 5-1 before Durham exploded for six runs in the seventh inning. Norfolk starter Chris Kachmar tossed 4.2 innings of one run ball before things fell apart. Kachmar allowed six hits, walked three and struck out two. Christian Herberholz coughed up the six […]
Orioles news: First half self-assessment, All-Star voting shutout
Hello, friends. The grind resumes. The Orioles are back at it tonight. Anything could happen. That’s the frustrating thing about these guys. They are really, genuinely capable of playing some good baseball. They have won quite a few games that could be real, signature wins, if only they had won a few more non-signature wins […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/25: Watts-Brown dazzles in Baysox loss
Triple-A: Durham Bulls (Rays) 6, Norfolk Tides 4 – Game 1 One bad inning sunk the Tides in this one. The top of the third inning saw the Bulls send 11 batters to the plate and score all six of their runs for the game off of five hits (including a two-run homer), two walks, […]
Orioles news: Rutschman, Holliday updates; another bad loss
Hello, friends. The west coast road trip of disappointment is finally over. At times, it seemed like it could have been something better than it was. If only the Orioles had scored more than six runs in three games against the Mariners. If only they hadn’t blown the series opener against the Dodgers. If only […]
Orioles embarrass themselves in extra innings, lose 7-6 to Angels
The 2026 Orioles have played plenty of dumb, bad baseball. But the 10th inning of this 7-6 loss to the Angels on Wednesday afternoon in Anaheim may take the title for the absolute worst moment of the entire season. It also completely changed the tone of the now-concluded west coast road trip, which saw the […]
Wednesday afternoon game thread: at Angels, 4:07
Our prolonged nightmare of west cost games is nearly over. After tonight, the Orioles will not be back on west coast time until late August, when they have a six-game stint in Sacramento and Denver. Right now, the Orioles have gone 4-4 on this road trip. That’s not bad considering how it started in Seattle. […]
Baz blasted, Orioles offense dormant in loss to Angels
Whatever else can be said about the 2026 Orioles, you’ve got to give this to them: They’re really committed to the bit. The problem for everyone who would prefer if they win games is that the bit the Orioles are committed to is the steadfast refusal to ever go on any kind of extended winning […]
Which injured Orioles can provide a spark in the second half?
It’s impossible to tell the story of the 2026 Orioles without mentioning injuries. The same can be said about the 2025 Orioles, the 2024 Orioles, and really every other team. Injuries are always part of baseball, but sometimes they play a larger role than others. Jordan Westburg will miss the entire 2026 season after undergoing […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/24: Frederick pitches one-hit shutout against Wilmington
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides vs. Durham Bulls (Postponed-Rain) The Tides and Bulls were rained out on Tuesday and will play a makeup game as part of a doubleheader today. Double-A: Chesapeake Baysox 4, Harrisburg Senators 2 Anderson De Los Santos launched a three-run homer in the 6th that put the Baysox ahead for good in their […]
Orioles news: Orioles fail to win fourth in a row yet again
Good morning Birdland, Yet again, a fourth consecutive win eluded the Orioles. Their mini winning streak came to an end in Anaheim on Tuesday night with a 5-1 loss. They will attempt to snag the series later today. First pitch is 4:07 eastern time. If the Orioles were to continuously win three out of every […]
Tuesday night game thread: at Angels, 9:38
The Orioles have won three games in a row several times this season. They are yet to win four games in a row. That could change tonight as the O’s send Shane Baz to the mound in search of their fourth consecutive win in the Los Angeles area. The team took the final two games […]

Podcast: Wrapping up a middling Orioles first half
Tonight, the Orioles will play their 81st game of the season, marking the mathematical halfway point of the regular season. The best they can do is 39-42. That’s disappointing relative to preseason hopes that this thing would get turned around, but this first half really could have been a lot worse than it was. Whatever […]
Grading the Orioles’ offseason moves at the 2026 halfway point
After tonight’s game with the Angels, the Orioles will officially reach the 81-game mark of their 2026 campaign. Heading into Game 81, it’s safe to say that the first half of the O’s season has largely been disappointing. Seen by most as a strong wild card contender heading into the season, Baltimore currently sits below […]
This week in the Orioles minors: Keys take first half division title
It is almost time to turn the calendar to July. Over the next month, the Orioles farm could be drained if the team plays well enough for Mike Elias to try to make real upgrades at the trade deadline. Or it could be stocked again if things go the other way. A lot depends on […]
Kyle Bradish dominates, Orioles take series opener over Angels
If you didn’t know any better, if you hadn’t been watching the rest of the 2026 Orioles season, you could be tempted after a game like this one to conclude that things are definitely going to be okay with the Orioles. Maybe we are in the middle of where they’re finally doing it. Maybe. They […]
Orioles news: Orioles win third in a row, deal with injuries on infield
Good morning Birdland, These Orioles are gonna make me believe in them again, aren’t they? Their 6-1 win on Monday night in Anaheim made it three in a row, and they did it in impressive fashion. Kyle Bradish tossed eight scoreless innings, Taylor Ward and Coby Mayo hit home runs, Gunnar Henderson had three hits, […]
Orioles vs. Angels discussion
Fresh off taking two of three games on the road against the Dodgers, the Orioles are on the verge of possibly helping people to feel a little bit better about their fortunes. What is standing between now and that possibility occurring is a series against the Angels. The Orioles need to actually keep playing well […]
Orioles-Angels series preview: A golden opportunity
The Orioles are flying high after taking two out of three from a talented Dodgers team. They’ll look to carry the momentum into a three-game set against the last place Angels tonight. On paper, this is a golden opportunity to take care of business and climb toward the elusive .500 mark. That being said, I […]
Blaze Alexander is proving to be more than a utility player
Most utility players have some sort of deficiency in their game that prevents them from being considered an “everyday” option. But occasionally, those super subs go on a hot streak that makes you wonder if they could make the leap to becoming a vital piece in the daily lineup. Blaze Alexander is doing that right […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/22: Keys homer four times in win
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets 5, Norfolk Tides 3 The Tides brought the tying run to the plate twice in the 9th inning, but couldn’t complete the comeback, dropping a back-and-forth series finale to the Mets. Syracuse took an early lead Sunday against Dean Kremer in the righty’s first rehab start with the Tides. After facing the […]
Orioles news: Wins in Los Angeles, Kremer starts rehab
Hello, friends. The confusing Orioles have done it again. They wrapped up their weekend series against the MLB-best Los Angeles Dodgers, who also happen to be two-time defending champions, by putting a 12-1 thumping on their opponent. They head to a different part of the metro area to face the AL-worst Angels with a series […]
Orioles take series with dominant 12-1 win over Dodgers
The Orioles entered today’s series finale against the Dodgers fresh off a pair of late-inning affairs. Wisely, the Birds decided not to leave anything to chance this afternoon. Baltimore scored in each of the first four innings and kept its foot on the gas for the remainder of the contest. The Dodgers put together rallies […]
Father’s Day Orioles game thread: at Dodgers, 4:10
The Orioles will look to take the series today with Brandon Young on the mound at Dodger Stadium. The team let Friday’s game slip away and nearly lost control in the ninth inning last night. Can the Orioles manage to secure a drama-free victory, or are the Dodgers due for a dominant win? Taylor Ward […]
