Orioles vs Red Sox discussion
The Orioles could have won last night, but they didn’t. A night where Adley Rutschman returned and hit two home runs, but the Orioles still won, would have been a pretty decent outcome in my book. Brandon Young did his part. Pete Alonso, Luis Robert, and Christian Encarnacion-Strand homered. But the bullpen blew it. It […]
It’s okay to not feel okay about Adley’s homecoming
We’re all grown-ups here (speaking personally … sort of?). On that dark day in early August where Adley Rutschman was traded to the Boston Red Sox for four prospects and a backup catcher, I comprehended the cold, rational logic of the deal. Perhaps injuries would keep the O’s 2019 1/1 guy from ever being a […]
Orioles fans think offense is the problem for the stretch
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. After spending months slowly grinding their way back to a .500 record, there was a short time there where you could almost believe that the Orioles […]
Orioles minor league recap 9/4: Eyanson shines against former team
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 10, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins) 9 — F/10 The Jumbo Shrimp struck for two in the top of the tenth, but Norfolk walked it off in the bottom half. José Barrero trimmed the lead to one with a base hit, and Brandon Butterworth stepped in with the tying and go-ahead runs in […]
Orioles news: Adley’s revenge game continues O’s slide
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Well, gang, the vibes are…not great. The Orioles finally returned to Camden Yards last night after nearly two weeks on the road, but what could’ve been an uplifting series-opening victory against the Red Sox turned sour in the late innings. There were plenty of reasons for the O’s loss, which I’ll […]
Adley Rutschman propels Red Sox to 6-5 win in first game back in Baltimore
Adley Rutschman tormented his former team in his first game back at Camden Yards, hitting two home runs and leading the Red Sox to a 6-5 win in Baltimore. Batting third for Boston, Rutschman received a standing ovation from the Camden Yards faithful in the 1st, tipping his helmet to the fans who still had […]
Thursday night Orioles game thread: vs. Red Sox, 7:15pm ET
Probable pitchers: RHP Brandon Young (9-3, 3.38 ERA, 103 Ks) vs. LHP Jake Bennett (9-6, 3.27 ERA, 74 Ks) Where to watch: FOX/FOX ONE Usually when you win six out of nine games on a road trip, you return home feeling good about the direction of your team. With the Orioles, however, they come into […]
Orioles-Red Sox series preview: Adley comes home
When the Orioles made the controversial decision to trade Adley Rutschman to a division rival, it felt like they were throwing in the towel on 2026. Critics deemed the move to be an indictment of Mike Elias and his failure to establish a consistent winning window in Baltimore. The notion that Rutschman—a former first overall […]
The Camden Chat community has lost a treasured member
I am writing this article with a heavy heart. Earlier this week, I learned that a longtime member of the Camden Chat commenting community, Jakubazookas, died last month. He was killed in what was apparently an act of random violence while he was walking to work. Jaku, as we knew him for short, was a […]
Orioles minor league recap 9/3: Aloy homers twice, Bautista continues rehab
Triple-A: Jacksonville JumboShrimp (Marlins) 8, Norfolk Tides 4 It’s been a tough adjustment to Triple-A for Tides starter Juaron Watts-Brown, and it didn’t get much better here. Over 4.2 innings he allowed seven runs on six hits, four walks, five strikeouts, and three home runs. The relievers behind him were solid overall. The rehabbing Félix […]
Orioles news: Bradish’s workload, Hunter’s prospect hype
Hello, friends. The 2026 Orioles rollercoaster ride continues. Over the last couple of days, we were reminded why there have been slightly more downs than there have been ups this season. Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s losses to the Rockies were particularly maddening, with such sad offensive outputs in Coors Field against the Colorado staff, with various […]
Orioles waste Rogers gem and lose series to Rockies in another sad affair
A team that wants to stay in the postseason race can’t lose a game like this one. The Orioles faced a Rockies starting pitcher, in Coors Field, with an ERA over 5. They had their own starting pitcher, Trevor Rogers, set a career high with 11 strikeouts over an excellent start that took him into […]
Orioles vs. Rockies Discussion
One reason why the Orioles are where they are right now is they just can’t keep up a consistent high level of play. This is playing out in miniature over the first two games against the Rockies. Monday’s game brought the highest of highs with Colton Cowser’s amazing game-ending home run robbery to give the […]
Recent moves give pinch-hitting Orioles even more options
The Orioles have not overwhelmed teams with their offensive firepower, but the team keeps finding ways to win games. Pete Alonso has generated some AL MVP chatter, and Coby Mayo looks like Barry Bonds against lefties, but the majority of the lineup has provided inconsistent production this season. So how does a team filled with […]
Orioles minor league recap 9/2: Bradfield Jr. tallies three hits in Tides win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 9, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 3 The Tides scored five runs in the 6th inning to propel them to a series-opening victory over the Jumbo Shrimp. Norfolk came into the bottom of the 6th down 3-2, having scored two runs on a pair of doubles by Bryan Ramos and Enrique Bradfield Jr. in […]
Orioles news: De León debuts, O’s win streak ends
Good morning Birdland, Being a .500 team was cool while it lasted! The Orioles dipped right back to a losing record with their 4-2 loss on Tuesday night in Denver. Kyle Bradish labored, only getting through five mediocre innings. Luis De León debuted out of the bullpen and gave up a two-run homer, which proved […]
Orioles suffer sloppy loss to Rockies, fall back below .500
I’m old enough to remember when the Orioles had a .500 record. Those were good times. The O’s couldn’t keep up the momentum of their series opener, dropping the second game to the Rockies, 4-2. Newly promoted Luis De León, making his major league debut, coughed up a tie-breaking two-run homer in the seventh after […]
Orioles vs. Rockies discussion
By gum, they’ve done it. The Orioles are a .500 team again. Now why don’t we see how much farther this ride can take us? The O’s got back to the even-water mark last night in the most thrilling way possible, on Colton Cowser’s unbelievable, gravity-defying, home run robbery that turned a certain walkoff loss […]
Orioles reportedly adding Heston Kjerstad, Luis De León as rosters expand
September 1 means roster expansion in Major League Baseball. Gone are the days where teams could call up as many players as they could fit onto the roster and into the dugout and bullpen. The Orioles and every other team now gets one extra position player and one extra pitcher to create a 28-man roster […]
What could be the biggest problem for the Orioles in the playoff chase?
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. The Orioles have finally done it. They’re back up to a .500 record thanks to last night’s late-night home run robbery by Colton Cowser that turned […]
Can Pete Alonso win the AL MVP?
This past offseason, Pete Alonso signed the richest deal in Orioles history, trading Queens for Baltimore and a deal for $155M/five years. Through the 138 games of Alonso’s Orioles career, you could argue the Polar Bear has been underpaid. Alonso has undoubtedly been the heartbeat of an Orioles team that, after last night’s win in […]
This week in the Orioles minors: Baysox, Keys continue late surges
As the minor league seasons start to wind down — with one week left for Low- and High-A, two weeks remaining for Double-A, and three for Triple-A — the Orioles’ four affiliates can clearly be delineated into the haves and the have-nots. The Frederick Keys and Chesapeake Baysox are surging, with the former headed to […]

Orioles news: O’s claim Luis Robert on waivers from Mets
Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters. We made it to September! The Orioles are still out west for the last few games of their long road trip. I personally find this stretch of games to be a touch on the ridiculous side. After an off-day on Monday, August 24th, the Orioles traveled to St. Louis. That kicked […]
Cowser’s home run robbery seals rain-delayed win in Colorado, 2-1
It’s just one of those things, I guess. The Orioles are playing some of their best ball of the season. The offense has been hot lately. They’ve been dispatching competitive teams, and moving up in the Wild Card chase. And so of course they’d travel to the thin air of Denver, where they’d face the […]
