Are the Orioles going to end up as trade deadline buyers or sellers?
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. Nearly halfway into the season, the Orioles remain a frustratingly inconsistent team. At times they look […]
Orioles-Mariners series preview: The M’s again, only this time out West
Mariners: Take Two. Tonight, the Orioles begin the second round of seven games in eleven days against the Seattle Mariners. It started last week at Camden Yards, with a 2-2 split. Josh Naylor won Game 1 with a grand slam; Game Two was a loss in extra innings; Game Three saw Jackson Holliday hit a […]
Do the Orioles have a Gunnar Henderson problem?
It was a rough weekend for Orioles star shortstop Gunnar Henderson. With two outs in the bottom of the 9th Saturday, Gunnar took a fastball to the ribs from Padres reliever Ron Marinaccio, presumably as retribution for Xander Bogaerts being hit in the head by a pitch earlier in the game. That moment sparked a […]
Orioles minors weekly recap: Two Joseph Dzierwa outings
We are into the middle of June and the Orioles are still playing a confusing season where they seem to be teetering on the edge of making it a lost season where there’s no consolation but what is happening on the farm. They also are managing to avoid falling over the edge, at least so […]
Orioles news: A daunting West Coast trip looms
Good morning, Camden Chatters. If you’re looking to unplug from the Orioles for a while, you’ve got an easy excuse for the next week and a half. The Orioles are off to the West Coast, where six of their next nine games will start at 9:40 PM EST or later. That’s a lot of late, […]
Podcast: Long winning streaks keep eluding the Orioles
Another week of confusing 2026 Orioles baseball is in the books. After looking like they were heading back to the cellar by losing the first two games of the Seattle series, they ripped off three straight wins and, facing a Padres team with a struggling offense, had a chance to finally get in a longer […]
The Orioles defense is a problem with no easy in-season fix
The Orioles didn’t lose on Sunday because of their defense, but it certainly didn’t help. In the top of the ninth inning the middle infield duo of Gunnar Henderson and Jackson Holliday combined for three errors in the span of two batted balls. That set the table for the fifth and final Padres run of […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/15: Bradfield Jr. and Kjerstad have multi-hit days in Norfolk
Triple-A: Memphis Redbirds (STL) 11, Norfolk Tides 7 The Tides closed out the first half of the season at Harbor Park with a sloppy 11-7 loss on Sunday. New guy Chris Kachmar, in his third start since being signed on a free agent contract, pitched a stinker, allowing five runs on six hits in four […]
Orioles news: Heading west after a tough homestand
Happy Monday, Camden Chatters! I hope that, despite the poor play of the Orioles, you were able to have a nice weekend. I went to the game on Saturday, and the weather was just great. It was hot in the sun, but for a 4 p.m. game much of the stadium was in shade. That’s […]
Orioles offense falls flat in 5-2 loss to Padres in series finale
Any hopes that the Orioles would use the late-game plunking of Gunnar Henderson on Saturday to propel themselves to victory in the series finale went unanswered. The offense was largely impotent in a 5-2 rubber match loss on Sunday afternoon at Camden Yards. Let’s start with the things that went well because it’s a pretty […]
Sunday game thread: vs Padres, 1:35
Throughout most of Saturday’s game, this series finale was setting up to be just another nondescript rubber match between inter-league foes. Then, in the ninth inning of a game that was out of reach, the Padres plunked Gunnar Henderson as retaliation for Xander Bogaerts being hit in the head earlier in the afternoon. Now this […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/14: JT Quinn impresses in Frederick
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 2, Memphis Redbirds (STL) 1 Christian Herberholz pitched 4.1 innings with just one run allowed. That run scored in the top of the first on back-to-back hits, a single and a double. He had just one 1-2-3 inning but prevented any further damage. He exited the game with one out in the […]
Orioles news: Craig Albernaz screws it up again
Hello, friends. The Orioles continue to sidestep any opportunity to win a fourth game in a row. They’ve now managed three straight wins five times in this 2026 season and each time they have failed to really stitch together a nice winning streak that will get them back where they needed to be. Their latest […]
Tough outing for Gibson sinks Orioles in 9-3 loss to Padres
Occasionally there are games where a bad first inning is enough to make you consider doing something other than watching Orioles baseball that day. That was the case here as the Padres scored four runs before the O’s even got a chance to hit and eventually prevailed to a 9-3 win on Saturday afternoon in […]
Saturday game thread: vs Padres, 4:05
The Orioles are, once again, playing some very good baseball. These last three games have been a particularly nice showing for the offense, which has scored seven runs in each of them. Another seven runs today would be plenty welcome. There’s no Adley Rutschman in the Orioles starting lineup today. That’s not a surprise since […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/13: Irish homers in losing Keys effort
Triple-A: Memphis (Cardinals) 10, Norfolk Tides 2 The Tides scored first in the game, with Enrique Bradfield’s leadoff walk turning into a run after a stolen base and an RBI single hit by Heston Kjerstad. Unfortunately, Norfolk’s starter, Trace Bright, had the opposite of a shutdown inning, allowing Memphis to score five runs in the […]
Orioles news: The O’s are back on a winning streak
Good morning Birdland, These Orioles are a resilient bunch. After last night’s 7-3 win over the visiting Padres, they have now taken three straight, scored seven runs in each of them, and find themselves within one game of the AL’s final wild card spot. What has been most apparent during the Orioles’ recent resurgence is […]
Gunnar’s 100th career home run and three-hit day pace O’s offense in 7-3 win over San Diego
If you’re coming here looking for a flattering report on Shane Baz, keep looking. The Orioles starter’s command was off tonight, and MASN broadcaster Hall-of-Famer Jim Palmer was not impressed. Baz allowed six hits, three runs, and walked two, and at times it could have been worse. More tellingly, he threw 103 pitches and got […]
Friday Night Orioles Victory GIF Party
It is Friday night. The Orioles have beaten the Padres, 7-3. Gunnar Henderson reached base four times, with three hits – including his 14th homer. It was his 100th homer of his career, making him the fourth-fastest Oriole to reach 100 homers with the franchise. Tyler O’Neill had a pair of hits (really!), and Shane […]
Friday night Orioles game thread: vs. Padres, 7:05 ET
After splitting an intense series against Seattle, the West-Coast themed homestand continues as the Orioles welcome the Padres to Camden Yards. The Padres are expected to be perennial contenders, but after a hot start to the season, they’re scuffling, with an ice-cold 4-12 record in their last 16 games. The Phillies swept them twice in […]
Orioles fans aren’t expecting a revival before the All-Star break
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. At times this year, never for more than three days at a time, the Orioles can almost convince […]
Orioles-Padres series preview: Struggling Pads, Machado come to Camden Yards
After their emotionally challenging series against the Mariners, the Orioles welcome another West Coast opponent to Baltimore as they take on Manny Machado and the Padres. The Orioles and Padres are two teams heading in (somewhat) different directions. San Diego started the year as one of the best teams in baseball, going 31-20 to start […]
Is it possible Blaze Alexander was a steal?
In February, when Mike Elias sent reliever Kade Strowd and two minor leaguers to Arizona for a utility infielder most Orioles fans had never heard of, the reaction ranged from confused to mildly irritated. The bullpen was already shaky. Who was this guy, and why was a utility player worth three perfectly promising relievers? Seven […]
Orioles minor league recap 6/12: Helsley strikes out three in rehab assignment
Triple-A: Memphis Redbirds (Cardinals) 7, Norfolk Tides 0 – Game 1 F/7 The Redbirds outhit the Tides 13-3 in a lopsided seven-inning result. Nestor German started Game 1 and failed to complete two innings. German allowed five earned runs on six hits, two walks and two strikeouts. Despite the result, Baltimore fans should be happy […]
Orioles news: O’s split the series with Seattle
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The path to getting there might not have been ideal, but the Orioles salvaged a split with the Mariners in the opening series of their seven-game homestand. The O’s have snapped a four-game losing streak by winning their last two, taking last night’s finale by a 7-5 score. A six-run third […]
