Will Mike Elias be the Orioles GM next season?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across 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. During the recent Orioles press conference about the Kyle Bradish contract extension, principal owner David Rubenstein said […]
The curious case of Christian Encarnacion-Strand
When the Orioles purchased the contract of Reds’ corner infielder Christian Encarnacion-Strand back in April, it was just another one of those low-profile moves we see from Mike Elias and the front office all the time. It was the latest instance of the “buy low and hope something good happens” mentality that’s seen Elias take […]
This week in the Orioles minors: A wave of promotions as draft picks arrive
It’s a weird week to look at the Orioles farm system. The trade deadline is now six days away. Perhaps the Orioles will play well enough between now and then that some of the names in this article will be gone a week from now. They may also play poorly enough that there are suddenly […]
Orioles news: The O’s aren’t out of it yet
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles have less than a week to decide whether they’ll be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline. Their two series before that Aug. 3 date, a three-game trip to Detroit and three at home against the Phillies, could be critically important for deciding the near-term direction of the club. […]
Bats, bullpen lead Orioles to 8-5 win in Detroit
The Orioles, fresh off a disappointing weekend series, hoped Kyle Bradish could play stopper this evening. Baltimore’s starter dealt with some uncharacteristic struggles, but the bats and bullpen picked him up in an 8-5 win over the Tigers. The Birds jumped ahead by scoring in each of the first three innings. Pete Alonso punched a […]
Monday night Orioles game thread: at Tigers, 6:40
Jackson Holliday will bat sixth and play shortstop tonight as the Orioles look to get back in the win column against Detroit. Gunnar Henderson will bat third and serve as the designated hitter. Coby Mayo will get the start at third base against right-handed pitcher Keider Montero, and Jeremiah Jackson will play second. Leadoff hitter […]
Orioles-Tigers series preview: Battle on the wild card fringe
Time is running out for teams like the Orioles to decide which way they’re going to go at the trade deadline. This year’s deadline is a little later than usual, arriving one week from today. They will be playing six games between now and then, including these next three against another team that’s got a […]
Podcast: Hope about the Orioles has turned tragic
The thing about the 2026 Orioles is that they can always manage to fool you for a little while into believing that they might be able to turn things around. The best version of this team really is good enough. Mike Elias wasn’t wrong to assess that. The problem, as was unfortunately demonstrated in increasingly […]
The Orioles have to do something about their current catching situation
Sam Huff was the final out of both Orioles losses over the weekend. How little did the Braves fear Huff’s bat? On Sunday, they intentionally walked the bases loaded, putting the winning run into scoring position, so that they could face Huff instead of Jackson Holliday. Huff is batting just .121 as a big leaguer […]
Orioles minor league recap 7/27: Kjerstad homers twice in Charlotte
Triple-A: Charlotte Knights (White Sox) 7, Norfolk Tides 4 The Tides fell to Charlotte on Sunday, as starter Trace Bright and a stable of relievers—Dietrich Enns, Cameron Weston and Enoli Paredes—allowed a combined seven runs on ten hits, three of them home runs (one by Knights’ outfielder and former Oriole Austin Hays). Bright’s four runs allowed […]
Orioles news: Another lost series
Happy Monday, Camden Chatters. It wasn’t a great weekend to be an Orioles fan, I have to say. The Orioles lost two out of three to the Braves in what felt like it could have been a series sweep (either way, honestly). Every game was exciting, I’ll give them that. But ultimately it was just […]
Orioles lose heartbreaker to Braves in 3-2, 11-inning defeat
The Orioles tied the game in the 9th, had a golden opportunity to win the game in the 10th, but ultimately fell to the Braves 3-2 in 11 innings. Things truly felt like they lived and died on the outcome of a pivotal 10th inning. After Tyler Wells worked out of a two-on, nobody-out jam […]
Sunday afternoon Orioles game thread: vs. Braves, 1:35pm ET
Probable pitchers: RHP Shane Baz (4-9, 4.05 ERA, 105 Ks) vs. RHP Reynaldo López (4-3, 3.95 ERA, 60 Ks) Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ Through two games against the NL East-leading Braves, we’ve gotten two thrillers that have felt an awful lot like playoff games. This afternoon, the Orioles will try to take the rubber match […]
Orioles minor league recap 7/26: Bradfield has two clutch hits but Tides lose walkoff
Triple-A: Charlotte Knights (White Sox) 7, Norfolk Tides 6 It was a wild one in Charlotte, where the Tides rallied back from a three-run deficit in the ninth, took a lead in the top of the 10th, and then got walked off in the bottom of the inning. Korey Lee’s two-run single off Cam Sanders […]
Orioles news: Walkoff win, wild card standings, injury updates
Hello, friends. The Orioles continue their confusing lurch towards the trade deadline. There are eight days remaining and seven games to be played between now and then. Are they the most incompetent bunch of jokers who ever took a baseball field? Sometimes it feels that way. Are they in fact possessed of a strong starting […]
Dylan Beavers walks off Orioles in 3-2 win over Braves
In tonight’s game between the Orioles and Braves, the Orioles starting pitcher was outstanding, but the offense wasn’t able to score many runs. With a one-run lead in the eighth inning, manager Craig Albernaz turned to relief pitcher Rico Garcia. Garcia, who has struggled lately, gave up a home run to tie the ballgame. Are […]
Saturday night Orioles game thread: vs Braves, 7:05
Well. Last night’s game was a disappointment. Trevor Rogers was outstanding but the Orioles could not get the job done on offense and the game went to extra innings. All hell broke loose in the 10th inning and when the dust cleared, the Orioles had lost 7-6. I don’t want to see a repeat of […]
Orioles fans are nearly unanimous in wanting a Rogers contract extension
Right before the season, the Orioles signed Shane Baz to a contract extension before ever throwing a pitch with the team. Just in the last week, they signed Kyle Bradish, a much more familiar face to Orioles fans, to a contract extension as well. Now that Mike Elias is starting to actually spend money on […]
Orioles 2026 Draft Signing Tracker
The Orioles completed their 2026 draft class across 20 rounds on July 11 and 12. This year’s class has 20 players in it, one for each round. The next step is to get players signed and into the organization. In most cases, that’s going to be settled before the trade deadline. The signing deadline this […]
Orioles minor league recap 7/25: Dzierwa helps pitch Baysox to victory
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 2, Charlotte Knights (CWS) 1 – Game 1 Offense was at a premium last night as the Tides and Knights had just three hits apiece and all three runs scored on solo home runs. Cade Povich started for the Tides and gave up three hits and three walks in five innings. He […]
Orioles news: O’s begin homestand with brutal loss
Good morning Birdland, These Orioles sure do know how to wear out any goodwill they have built up with a quickness. Coming back from a successful road trip, which concluded with a streak-stopping win up in Boston, the O’s began their brief homestand with a brutal 7-6 loss to the visiting Braves. Yours truly was […]
O’s waste Rogers gem, leave bases loaded in 9th, implode in 10th
The Orioles had plenty of chances, but failed to cash in on enough of them, wasting a great start from Trevor Rogers and losing the series opener to the Braves 7-6 in extra innings on Friday night in Baltimore. This was yet another strong showing for Rogers. The lefty worked seven innings, six of which […]
Friday night game thread: vs Braves, 7:05
When you are trying to chase down several other teams in the playoff race, and games between now and the trade deadline are running short, every series feels big. This weekend’s clash with the Atlanta Braves is no different. Our very own John Beers provided a run down of the matchup earlier today. The Orioles […]
Orioles-Braves series preview: The NL East leaders come to Baltimore
As has been the case for much of this season, the Orioles come into this weekend’s series vs. the Braves with a point to prove. Baltimore thought they proved they were ready to be playoff contenders by sweeping the Astros in Houston. That point was then undercut by losing two out of three in Fenway—though […]
The Accidental Closer: Tyler Wells and the ninth inning
Tyler Wells wasn’t supposed to be here. By here, I mean, in the Majors at all, and certainly not taking the mound in the ninth inning with a lead to protect for this Orioles team. But injury luck has a way of rewriting careers, and Wells’s is one of the stranger paths in today’s game. […]
