Orioles news: O’s waste opportunity to gain ground in playoff race
Good morning Birdland, The Orioles had a golden opportunity on Friday night to gain ground in the AL wild card race. The fading White Sox lost again, which meant an O’s win would have gotten them within two games of that final playoff spot. Instead, they lost 6-5 in extra innings to the Brewers. It’s […]
Craig Albernaz puts on “Fire me!” clinic as Orioles lose to Brewers
In the final accounting of the 2026 Orioles season, there will not be a shortage of things that a person can point to as a representative explanation for why things have turned out the way that they did. Many of their losses have contained multitudes of such decisions, actions, sequences of play. They found a […]
Orioles vs. Brewers discussion
Clinging to ever-fainter AL wild card hopes, the Orioles are back in Baltimore to play the MLB-best Brewers over the penultimate weekend of the 2026 regular season. No big deal or anything, but the Orioles probably need to sweep this series, and definitely need to at most lose a single game, to hold on to […]
Orioles-Brewers series preview: MLB’s best team comes to town
The Orioles backed themselves into a corner where they probably need to win every remaining game or all but one remaining game in order to make the postseason. They responded to being in that corner by sweeping the Mets, a not very good team, in a series where the Mets fans were all continually cheering […]
Does the front office deserve credit for finding diamonds in the rough?
Last week Matt Blood, the Orioles’ vice president of player development and domestic scouting, was let go after seven years with the organization. It’s too early to say definitively why, but one narrative that’s seeped into the mainstream is that the front office is unhappy with how the Orioles’ draft picks have panned out. Recall […]
Orioles minor league recap 9/18: Anderson goes deep again
Triple-A: Charlotte Knights (White Sox) 5, Norfolk Tides 1 Norfolk and Charlotte entered the eighth inning with the game tied at one, but Alex Pham allowed four runs in the top of the eighth. Pham allowed a leadoff single, walked a batter, and allowed a go-ahead single to Korey Lee. Pham allowed another run-scoring base […]
Orioles news: The final homestand begins
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Only nine games remain on the Orioles’ 2026 schedule. We’re down to single digits now. Tonight, the Orioles begin their final homestand of the season, hosting the MLB-best Brewers and the wild card-hopeful Blue Jays before finishing their year at Yankee Stadium. You’d be forgiven if you thought the Orioles’ homestand […]
Orioles minor league recap 9/17: Three home runs lift Tides to win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 5, Charlotte Knights (White Sox) 2 Norfolk deployed five pitchers to get through these nine innings, and none of them recorded more than eight outs. Albert Suárez was the starter. He worked 2.1 shutout innings while giving up a hit, a walk, and striking out one. Dietrich Enns earned the win, though […]
Orioles news: Holliday, Bradish updates, sweep of Mets
Hello, friends. What a weird series we just witnessed. I’m not sure that I’ve ever witnessed other team fans cheering so much for an Oriole and probably I never will again. The circumstances surrounding Pete Alonso and the Mets, and the fact that he came over to the Orioles afterwards, are not repeated just every […]
Pete Alonso and Orioles offense launch four home runs in 7-1 win over Mets
After hitting a game-tying home run on Tuesday night, Pete Alonso’s 1st-inning homer on Wednesday kick-started a long-ball barrage that propelled the Orioles to a 7-1 win over the Mets. It took eight plate appearances against his former team for Alonso to finally hit his 300th career home run Tuesday in Queens. It only took […]
Orioles vs. Mets discussion
Probable pitchers: RHP Chris Bassitt (7-5, 4.88 ERA, 66 Ks) vs. Xzavion Curry (0-0, 3.44 ERA, 12 Ks) Where to watch: ESPN After last night’s dramatic win that included Pete Alonso’s 300th career home run, it might be natural to experience an emotional letdown in the next game. The Orioles don’t have that luxury. Tonight’s […]
What was the real ceiling for this Orioles roster?
Colton Cowser made a game-saving catch against the Rockies on August 31. The grab took the sports world by storm and lifted the Orioles back to .500 for the first time in four months. The play also preserved Baltimore’s spot as a contender for the third and final wild card spot. With the benefit of […]
Orioles minor league recap 9/16: Tides start final series with a win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 4, Charlotte Knights 2 Norfolk opened their last series of the season with a well-played victory over the visiting Knights. Trace Bright put up a strong effort in his last start of the season, with the right-hander setting down 13 of the first 14 batters he faced. The only base runners Bright […]
Orioles news: O’s earn one of the most exciting wins of the year
Good morning Birdland, Despite their playoff odds fading by the day, these Orioles are still putting up a fight and (occasionally) doing some pretty neat things on the field. Last night’s extra-inning win over the Mets could end up being the most memorable of the entire season. Pete Alonso, the long-time Met that had a […]
Alonso’s 300th homer, Mayo’s inside-the-parker lead wild O’s win in extras
The Orioles may be playing out the string in a season that’s fallen far short of expectations. But darned if they aren’t still capable of playing some mighty entertaining baseball from time to time. Tonight’s extra-inning affair against the Mets was one of those classic, bizarre, “how the heck did the Orioles win this?” kind […]
Orioles vs. Mets discussion
It’s night two of the Pete Alonso Reunion Tour at CitiField, where Mets fans will continue to cheer on their team’s favorite former slugger. Expect their signs and camera phones to be held high every time Alonso steps to the plate as he seeks to mash his 300th career home run at his longtime home […]

The Orioles can learn how not to handle disappointment from the 2026 Mets
This week’s series at Citi Field not only offers the Orioles their last undoubtedly winnable series of the season, but also a chance to look into their potential future. The Mets and O’s are easily two of 2026’s most disappointing teams. New York came into this season with the second-highest payroll in all of baseball […]
This week in the Orioles minors: Baysox, Keys seasons come to an end
Welcome to the final installment of Camden Chat’s minor league week in review series. Two more affiliates, the Chesapeake Baysox and Frederick Keys, finished their 2026 seasons this week. Let’s take one last look at how most of the Orioles’ prospects fared before they headed home for the offseason. Triple-A Norfolk Tides The Tides are […]
Orioles news: O’s win in Alonso’s return to NYC
Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! The Orioles got off to a good start last night in New York, getting a 2-1 win over the Mets. In his return to Citi Field, Pete Alonso was hitless with a walk. You might forgive him if he was putting pressure on himself. Nearly 36,000 Mets fans showed up to […]
Henderson lifts Orioles to 2-1 win in Alonso’s return to NY
Both Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor entered tonight’s game with 299 career home runs, and both players left the game still in pursuit of the milestone number. Alonso received a hero’s welcome in his return to New York, but it was Gunnar Henderson that stole the show in the low-scoring affair. Henderson launched a go-ahead […]
Orioles vs. Mets discussion
Pete Alonso will return to New York tonight in search of his 300th career home run.

Pete Alonso, the Mets’ all-time home run leader, will face his former club for the first time since signing with the Orioles last winter. Alonso debuted […]
Podcast: Run the table or it’s over
If the Orioles were trying on purpose to dismantle all of the hard work they did in July and August of clawing their way out of a disappointing start to the season, the result would not look a whole lot different than what they’ve actually done in the month of September. The just-concluded weekend series […]
Solving Samuel Basallo’s late-season struggles should be Orioles top offseason priority
With the Orioles all but mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, an autopsy on the season that was can begin sooner rather than later. At a bare minimum that analysis should include a deep dive into the plethora of homegrown hitters that failed to meet their expectations coming into the season. Samuel Basallo’s immense struggles in […]
