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 […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/21: Dzierwa shines, Beavers continues rehab
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets 11, Norfolk Tides 10 Norfolk carried a one-run lead into the bottom of the ninth, but Syracuse won the game with an RBI triple and a walk-off sac fly. Former minor-league free agent Hans Crouse blew the save and took the loss. The Tides scored seven runs in the first two innings. […]
Orioles news: Rutschman’s concussion, Keys division title
Hello, friends. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads of Birdland. This article is being written before the result of Saturday’s game against the Dodgers is settled, though of course you’ll know what happened by the time you read these words. They were winning and Trevor Rogers was looking great at the time I set […]
O’s avoid disaster, make Rogers gem stand up in 3-2 win
There were some worrying moments at the end, but ultimately the Orioles were able to ride a terrific start from Trevor Rogers and a clutch double off Blaze Alexander’s bat to a 3-2 win on Saturday night in Los Angeles. It is games like this where we must ask the question “Is Trevor Rogers all […]
Saturday night game thread: at Dodgers, 10:10
Last night was nearly a marquee win for the Orioles team. Instead, it was just another disappointing loss. The team has no choice but to flush the defeat and try to get back on the right track tonight. It won’t be an easy matchup. Yoshinobu Yamamoto has thrown 16.1 innings over his last two starts […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/20: Tides score 14 as affiliates sweep
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 14, Syracuse Mets 3 It was an offensive explosion for the Tides on this night. They racked up 16 hits, nine for extra bases, in a blowout win in Syracuse. Shortstop José Barrero had quite possibly the most productive game of his life, going 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double, four […]
Helsley blows it as Dodgers walk off Orioles in series opener
The Orioles were on their way to what might have been a feel-good win in their series opener against the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers. They carried a two-run lead into the bottom of the ninth on Friday night. Even against these guys, that should have been enough. Closer Ryan Helsley, fresh off the […]
Orioles news: West coast woes continue
Good morning Birdland, The west coast road trip is not going well for the Orioles. After dropping two of three in Seattle, they have now lost the opener in Los Angeles, and it happened in particularly brutal fashion. The game was actually pretty great up until the ninth inning. Our guys dug out of an […]
Orioles vs. Dodgers discussion
The Orioles have struggled when facing winning teams this season. Here we are with them opening a three-game series, on the road where they’re also bad, against the team with the best record in all of baseball, the Dodgers. The on-paper stuff doesn’t point to an Orioles series victory, or perhaps to any Orioles victories […]

Orioles-Dodgers series preview: Hollywood swinging
Baseball is the sport with the most parity on a night to night basis, particularly in the regular season. The worst team can beat the best team, and no one really bats an eye. That is part of what made the Orioles series with the Dodgers back in September so magical. The Orioles were in […]
Why are the Orioles a (not even quite) .500 Team?
I shouldn’t mislead you: the Orioles are not hovering at .500 right now, because they’re actually sitting at 35-41 (.461), fourth in the AL East, staring up at the Yankees, Rays, and even the Blue Jays. I can’t even analytics our way out of here: their Pythagorean record, the model that predicts wins based on […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/19: Shorebirds score 10 runs, still lose by 11
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets 6, Norfolk Tides 5 – F/10 The Tides took a 5-3 lead into the ninth inning but allowed two to tie and were walked off in the bottom of the 10th. Norfolk got on the board first with two runs in the second. José Barrero walked, then came in on a single […]
Orioles news: Cal Ripken is coming to (maybe) help
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Another series, another series loss. The O’s dropped the opening leg of their three-city road trip with a 2-0 shutout loss to the Mariners yesterday, which you can read about in my game recap if you’re so inclined. If you missed the game, don’t worry; so did the Orioles’ offense. The […]
O’s offense no-shows again in rubber game loss to M’s, 3-0
If I had asked you this morning to name the only team in Major League Baseball that hadn’t yet been shut out this season, how many guesses would it have taken you to arrive at the Orioles? For me it would have been 30. This offense has had so many pitiful, uncompetitive performances this season […]
