Orioles live game chat: March 21 vs. Phillies, 1:05
With this afternoon’s game, the Orioles spring training season in Florida will be over. There are two more exhibition games to be played in Baltimore and in Washington, but those are not part of the Grapefruit League. The O’s bring a 10-13-3 record into this one, with two games that were canceled due to rain. […]
Orioles news: Orioles prospects best Boston, 3-1
Good morning Birdland, The final day of spring training has arrived! Huzzah! Kind of. At 1 p.m. today, the Orioles will host the Phillies for their last game down in Florida. It will be broadcast on MASN and the Orioles Radio Network. Then, they will head north for a home-and-home of exhibitions with the nearby […]
Friday Spring Breakout and Orioles spring training game thread
Orioles fans, you’re getting a double dose of O’s baseball tonight. And it’s not a doubleheader or a split-squad game with a break in between; these two games will be happening simultaneously. You can watch one on MASN while listening to the other on the radio, if you think you can handle such Orioles overstimulation. […]
Orioles fans are expecting a big improvement in 2026
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Orioles fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Last season was a bump in the road of the Orioles being competitive every year. All offseason, every […]
Orioles opponent preview: Other AL contenders
Six days remain until Opening Day. As things stand now, playoff odds at both FanGraphs and Baseball Prospectus give a pretty good chance that all three AL wild cards will come out of the AL East. There is also a decent chance that things go outside of this conventional wisdom and that the Orioles, if […]
Roster predictions are in—who do you think makes the cut?
Hurray! Opening Day is just a week out as the Orioles close out spring training and get ready for the upcoming season. To judge by the main Orioles-interested press outlets, there won’t be a ton of surprises in roster construction. This team is built with depth, and few holes. Manager Craig Albernaz maintains, “I am […]
What do you expect from Jackson Holliday this year?
Despite taking a step forward in his sophomore season, Jackson Holliday comes into the 2026 season with plenty of questions still to answer. The former No.1 pick has yet to take the step we saw from Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman in their second seasons. That being said, describing Holliday’s 2025 season as “bad” would […]
Orioles news: The band is back together
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Spring training is winding down and the Orioles are inching toward their season-opening roster. And with the World Baseball Classic now finished, that roster is looking close to complete, as the Orioles’ WBC-participating players have rejoined the team for the final stretch of Grapefruit League games. The last to return to […]
Orioles game live chat: March 19 split squad, 1:05 and 6:05
Two different sets of Orioles will be in action on Thursday down in Florida. They are squeezing in one last split-squad before the Grapefruit League schedule wraps up for them on Saturday. The 1:05 game is on the road, with no local television or radio broadcast. I had not intended to set up a game […]
Previewing the AL East: Toronto Blue Jays
The Toronto Blue Jays went from finishing last in the AL East (74-88) in 2024 to being one inning away from a World Series title last season. The Jays won the division (94-68) with a tiebreaker over the Yankees before securing the American League crown in 2025. The Orioles, after finishing 75-87 last season, can […]
What do you expect from Zach Eflin this year?
One of the reasons that the Orioles targeted Zach Eflin at the 2024 trade deadline—beyond his solid track record as a dependable big league arm—was that he came with an additional season of control. He wasn’t due to hit free agency for more than a year, meaning he could help the Orioles through 2025, a […]
Orioles news: One week until Opening Day
Hello, friends. We are now just one week away from Orioles Opening Day. It’s true! Real baseball that counts will be back at Oriole Park at Camden Yards next Thursday afternoon. Hopefully that will be fun. Until then, there are another six exhibition games to get through, including a split-squad day today. Road Orioles play […]
Wednesday spring training game thread: at Blue Jays, 1:07
Time is winding down for Orioles spring training. The O’s have just four days left in Florida before heading north for a pair of home-and-home exhibition games against the Nationals and then Opening Day. This afternoon the O’s play their second and final spring game against the defending AL champion Blue Jays. They won’t see […]
Previewing the AL East: New York Yankees
While most of the AL East spent the offseason making big trades and free agent signings, the motto in the Bronx seemed to be “Hold the Status Quo.” Last year, the Yankees finished tied with the Blue Jays at 94-68, but ended up in second after losing their season series to Toronto. After Cam Schlittler […]
Things we still don’t know at this point of the Orioles spring
Last week I dug into the things we think we know at this point of the Orioles spring. We know that Tyler Wells is going to start the season in the bullpen because Craig Albernaz told us. We’re pretty sure that Coby Mayo is going to get a shot at third base with Jordan Westburg […]
What do you expect from Samuel Basallo this year?
Samuel Basallo is 21 years old, under contract for the next seven-plus years, and widely regarded as one of the most exciting young hitters in baseball. After a brief debut in the MLB last season, he heads into 2026 as Baltimore’s everyday designated hitter and heir apparent behind the plate. So: what should we actually […]
Orioles news: Venezuela tops US in WBC final, Henderson relegated to backup duty
Good morning Birdland, The World Baseball Classic is over, and Venezuela are your 2026 champions. They beat the United States by a score of 3-2 on Tuesday night in Miami. Orioles star Gunnar Henderson did not enter the game until the ninth inning, when he was used as a pinch hitter for Alex Bregman. Henderson […]
How many games are the Orioles going to win this season?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Orioles fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. After an offseason of surprising and occasionally quite exciting moves, and a spring training season that […]
Previewing the AL East: Boston Red Sox
The 2025 Boston Red Sox were the third team in the AL East to make the postseason with an 89-73 record. They had the fourth-best record in the American League and lost in the Wild Card round to the Yankees. It was the Red Sox first playoff appearance since 2021 and just their second since […]
Setting the preseason odds for Most Valuable Oriole
For the last four seasons, the story of the Most Valuable Oriole has largely told the story of the Orioles’ entire season. In 2022, a rookie Adley Rutschman took home MVO honors after debuting in May and rallying the O’s to a 67-55 record over the last four months of the season. Another rookie took […]
What do you expect from Taylor Ward this season?
My brain refuses to wrap itself around the fact of Taylor Ward being on the Orioles. I’m well aware that they traded for him since I wrote about that here on Camden Chat when it happened. It’s just not real yet. Spring training hasn’t done enough for the idea to sink in that the O’s […]
Orioles news: Team USA goes for the WBC championship
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Friends, if you haven’t been following the World Baseball Classic, you have been missing out. This year’s tournament has been as thrilling as always, and the drama has ratcheted up this week. From Team Venezuela knocking out defending champion Japan, to Team USA eking out a nail-biter over the Dominican on […]
Previewing the AL East: Tampa Bay Rays
The Tampa Bay Rays head into 2026 in a somewhat familiar position: a payroll well below most divisional rivals, a roster built more on ingenuity than name recognition, and a front office quietly convinced they can squeeze more wins out of this group than any algorithm will give them credit for. One potential area of […]
Orioles enter season without clear leadoff hitter, but plenty of options
The ideal baseball lineup has players with high on-base percentages near the top of the order, setting the table for the sluggers in the middle. Optimizing a lineup like this can allow a team to score a few more runs per year. On a given day it may not make much of a difference, but […]
What do you expect from Tyler Wells this season?
For a pitcher who has made just seven appearances in the last two seasons combined, Tyler Wells suddenly looms very large for the 2026 Orioles. And not just because of his 6-foot-8 frame. Wells, who hasn’t pitched in relief since 2023, enters the season as a key bullpen piece, likely serving as the late-inning setup […]
