How will the Orioles replace Blaze Alexander?
When the Orioles traded for Blaze Alexander back in February, expectations were modest. The former 11th-round pick had been useful in his time with the Diamondbacks, showing positional versatility and some speed on the bases. But his outlook was still that of a bench player that could fill in here and there. And that’s similar […]
Orioles minor league recap 7/13: Wehiwa Aloy and Victor Figueroa lead the Frederick offense
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides v. Syracuse Mets (canceled) This one was canceled due to wet grounds. Box score Double-A: Chesapeake Baysox 7, Akron RubberDucks (Guardians) 4 Although Akron put up three quick runs against Chesapeake starter Ben Vespi, the Baysox quickly tied it up, then raced ahead with a four-run seventh inning. Frederick Bencosme scored the […]
Orioles news: A winning streak, a broken hand, and the draft
Happy Monday, Camden Chatters! We made it to the All-Star break and the Orioles played well enough over the weekend to give us warm fuzzies heading into four days off. They swept the Kansas City Royals and finally won four games in a row. Now they get a few days off, except for Adley Rutschman, […]
Orioles Draft analysis: Eric Booth Jr. leads Mike Elias’s youngest class ever
The Orioles rolled through rounds 5-20 on day 2 of the MLB draft as Sunday went along, adding to the four players they took over the first four rounds on Saturday. The O’s wrapped up the draft not all that differently from how they started it. Their top pick, Eric Booth Jr., came from the […]
Orioles Draft Pick Tracker
This tracker will be updated as soon as possible after the Orioles make their picks across the two days of the draft. Day 1 of the draft will go through the fourth round. Day 2 will race through rounds 5-20. The Orioles have a total of 20 picks, one in each round without any bonus […]
Orioles finally win four in a row in completing sweep of Royals
The Orioles finally did it. They finally won a fourth straight game in the 2026 season. It was long past ridiculous that they hadn’t, as the team had seven three-game winning streaks that they did not manage to turn into a four-or-more-game winning streak. The eighth time was the charm. They took out 96 games […]
Orioles vs. Royals discussion
Here we go again. The Orioles have won three straight games and are trying to make it four in a row. Can they do it? They have had seven previous opportunities to win a fourth in a row this season and they have failed every time. It is way past ridiculous. Perhaps the eighth time […]
Everything you need to know about the Orioles and the 2026 MLB Draft
This time a year ago, the Orioles headed into baseball’s annual amateur draft with four of the top 37 picks and a bigger bonus pool than any other team has ever had since the pool system was introduced in 2012. That made for an exciting first draft day in the middle of what was supposed […]
Orioles minor league recap 7/12: Pitching dominates as every affiliate wins
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 3, Syracuse Mets 2 Nestor German was the story in this Tides win, twirling a dazzling outing of seven shutout innings, the longest outing of his professional career. He had more strikeouts (six) than baserunners (five), and it came against a Syracuse lineup in which all nine batters were guys with major […]
Orioles news: Orioles look to end first half with big win streak
Good morning Birdland, Yesterday was a good one to be an Orioles fan. The team won their third in a row, came within two games of the final wild card spot, and selected several young players that they seem very excited about. Of course, every team likes their draft picks, or else they wouldn’t have […]
Bradish flirts with no-no, O’s smack four homers in win over Royals
You would be hard-pressed to find a more relaxing night of baseball as an Orioles fan than the team’s smooth 6-1 win over the Royals on Saturday night. Kyle Bradish twirled a gem, taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning, and the lineup pounded four home runs in support. Bradish put together one of his […]
Saturday night game thread: vs Royals, 7:05
The Orioles focus for much of today is on the future. They made a few draft picks, including seventh overall pick Eric Booth Jr., a high school outfielder from Mississippi. Hopefully a few of the youngsters they call on this weekend will turn into quality Orioles a few years from now. The 2026 Orioles, however, […]
Orioles Draft: Ty Head selected with second round pick
With their second round pick in the 2026 draft, the Orioles chose outfielder Ty Head from North Carolina State. That follows on the heels of their first round pick going to a high school outfielder, Eric Booth Jr. On MLB’s draft telecast after the pick, the analysts offered praise for Head as a player, describing […]
Orioles Draft: Eric Booth Jr. selected at #7 overall
The Orioles have kicked off their 2026 draft class by choosing a talented high school outfielder, Eric Booth Jr. from Mississippi. The lefty-batting Vanderbilt commit is almost certainly not going to go to college now. This was one of the top five or six players in the draft class and the Orioles got him at […]

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Now 95 games into their season, the 2026 Orioles are still mostly sputtering. They haven’t been able to […]
Orioles minor league recap 7/11: Lo Re leaves Delmarva game after collision
Triple-A: Syracuse (Mets) 3, Norfolk Tides 2 – 7 innings The Tides out-hit the Chiefs in this one by an 8-4 margin and still lost the game. You might be tempted to think that means that Syracuse got clutch hits with RISP and Norfolk didn’t, but you would be wrong: Syracuse was 0-6 with RISP. […]
Orioles news: O’s get thrilling win; MLB Draft starts today
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Even in a season that isn’t going according to plan, an immutable fact remains: life seems a little bit better after an Orioles win. That’s especially true when the O’s make it a dramatic win, like last night’s 5-3 takedown of the visiting Royals at Camden Yards. After Brandon Young’s bid […]
Samuel Basallo leads Orioles to victory with 8th inning homer
Sometimes, one small play in a game ends up ruining it. When Adley Rutschman didn’t challenge a pitch in the eighth inning that was called a ball, I thought that was the small ruining play. The batter went on to homer. The game was tied, and I assumed the Orioles would soon fall behind. But […]
Friday Night Orioles Victory GIF Party
It is Friday night. The Orioles have beaten the Royals, 5-3. Brandon Young turned in an excellent seven-plus inning start, and after he left with the game tied, Samuel Basallo delivered an absolutely joyous and righteous go-ahead home run to put the Orioles on top. Bring this energy into all of your most important tasks: […]
Friday night Orioles game thread: vs Royals, 7:05
The Orioles and Royals are both bad. Remember when they were both good? Those were the days. Well, until the playoffs came anyway. But let’s talk about something else. Brandon Young is pitching for the Orioles tonight, AKA the Orioles ace. His last start against the Reds wasn’t great, but everyone’s allowed to have a […]
Orioles mock draft roundup
This year’s edition of the MLB Draft begins tomorrow at 1pm with the White Sox on the clock. The Orioles, after their disappointing season, ended up with a little bit of bad luck when the draft lottery played out and received the #7 pick in the draft for their trouble. They had the fourth-best odds […]
Orioles-Royals series preview: Wrapping up the first half
While few analysts would have told you that either the Orioles or Royals came into the season as true World Series contenders, there was a consensus that they would at least be competitive squads that factored into the playoff race. With the unofficial halfway point of the season nearly here, predictions like those only get […]
Are the Orioles the worst baserunning team in baseball?
About a week ago, Sports Illustrated’s Jason La Canfora went looking for evidence to back up a hunch that’s been circulating in Baltimore for three straight seasons now: this team can’t run the bases. His July 1 piece on the Orioles’ fielding and baserunning woes laid out a bunch of metrics, and the picture wasn’t […]
Orioles minor league recap 7/10: Norfolk walks it off in extras
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 5, Syracuse Mets 4 — F/10 Norfolk let a two-run lead slip away but walked it off in the bottom of the tenth. Josh Walker kept the Mets off the board in the top of the frame, and Luis Vázquez drove in the automatic runner with a single to right field. José […]
Orioles news: Lineup choices, draft deciders, All-Star Game in Baltimore again?
Hello, friends. It is always more fun when the Orioles win rather than lose. That’s certainly true yesterday, when that would have been a painful way to lose and get swept. Instead, the O’s pulled off a comeback win to avoid the sweep. Check out John Beers’s recap of the game for more of the […]
