Orioles news: Tough schedule upcoming, O’s prospects get praise
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Just 10 days remain until the MLB trade deadline, and at this moment, there’s no telling which direction the Orioles are going to go. Two weeks ago they looked like sure sellers, but their recent seven-game winning streak, which currently puts them three games back of the final wild card, might […]
Which lower-ranked Orioles prospects are worth following?
Earlier this week, Camden Chat colleague Paul Folkemer examined how the prospects on our preseason top 20 prospects ranking have been performing this season. That group of players are a mix of exciting, interesting, and disappointing. There are other players in the Orioles system right now who didn’t crack that list before the season who […]
Orioles minor league recap 7/23: Another big night for the Frederick offense
Triple-A: Charlotte Knights (White Sox) 8, Norfolk Tides 4 A pair of two-run home runs was all the offense that the Tides could muster. Heston Kjerstad hit his sixth long ball of the season in the sixth inning, and Bryan Ramos went deep for the third time in the ninth inning to make the scoreline […]
Orioles news: Basallo to IL, trade deadline direction
Hello, friends. The Orioles found a way to avoid a complete disaster of a series in Boston by winning the second game of yesterday’s doubleheader, in the process stopping the Red Sox from setting a new franchise record for longest winning streak. The first game of the doubleheader was almost as bad as the first […]
Orioles snap Red Sox’s 15-game winning streak with 5-1 win in Boston
The Orioles jumped on Boston’s starter Eduardo Rivera early and used that early offensive explosion to propel them to victory. After Taylor Ward barely missed a leadoff double into the right field corner, Pete Alonso started the rally with a ground rule double over the low wall in right. Gunnar Henderson then worked a four-pitch […]
Wednesday night Orioles Game 2 thread: at Red Sox, 7:10pm ET
Probable pitchers: RHP Kyle Bradish (6-9, 3.61 ERA, 106 Ks) vs. LHP Eduardo Rivera (0-0, 2.89 ERA, 9 Ks Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ The first two games in Boston have been a kick in the teeth for an Orioles team (and fanbase) that came into Beantown riding high. A seven-game win streak and a spot […]
Red Sox top Orioles again, 6-3, tie franchise-best win streak
Remember when this was supposed to be a hard-fought series between the two hottest teams in baseball? It sure looks like a one-sided letdown to me. The O’s again failed to quash Boston’s historic winning streak, which tied a franchise-best 14 games in a 6-3 Red Sox victory. Dean Kremer bombed immediately, coughing up four […]
Wednesday afternoon Orioles game 1 thread: at Red Sox, 1:35
The opener of the three-game series between two streaking teams was a disappointment for the Orioles. Now they’ll get two chances today to redeem themselves. After the Birds’ four-error, one-run loss on Monday snapped their seven-game winning streak — and extended Boston’s to 14 — last night’s rainout has led to a split doubleheader to […]
Are the Orioles capable of playing winning baseball?
The Orioles had won seven straight before traveling to Boston to face the only team in the league touting a better win streak. The Birds were set to play in their first series in over a year that carried a heightened sense of meaning. Playing the Red Sox—a division opponent in possession of a playoff […]
Orioles minor league recap 7/22: Keys hammer five homers in win
Triple-A: Charlotte Knights 7, Norfolk Tides 6 The Tides staged a dramatic comeback attempt, but came up just short as they dropped their series opener to the Knights. Starter Trace Bright ran into trouble in the 4th and 5th innings, surrendering seven runs across the two frames to put the Tides in a 7-3 hole. […]
Orioles news: Is Adley Rutschman on the trading block?
Good morning Birdland, Rain in the Boston area yesterday meant no Orioles game. The two teams are set to play a split double-header today instead. Game 1 will start at 1:35, while Game 2 gets underway at 7:10. The Orioles are looking to snap the Red Sox 14-game winning streak and get back in the […]

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.

What Kyle Bradish’s extension means for the rest of the rotation
When Kyle Bradish takes the mound tonight in Boston, he’ll make the first start of the next era of his career. I have often referred to Bradish as the “Orioles’ former ace”—having been dethroned by the acquisition of Corbin Burnes and his subsequent UCL injury that required Tommy John surgery. However, after the recent announcement […]

Orioles news: A brutal loss in Boston
Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! Did you watch last night’s baseball game between the Orioles and the Red Sox? It was pretty dumb. It’s not that the Orioles lost, which was disappointing but not that surprising. It was the way in which they lost. They made four errors! A Jeremiah Jackson throwing error allowed a baserunner […]
Orioles’ defensive gaffes hand Red Sox their 14th straight win
The Orioles’ seven-game winning streak is over. And it was a heartbreaker. They came up against the buzzsaw of the Boston Red Sox’ 13-game (now 14-game) winning streak and couldn’t do quite enough to overcome it, torpedoing their own chances with a brutal four-error performance in a 6-5 loss. Tonight marked only the fifth time […]
Monday night Orioles game thread: at Red Sox, 7:10
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s go time. The Orioles and Red Sox square off at Fenway Park tonight for the opener of what’s become a crucially important three-game series. The O’s have won seven games in a row entering the night, while the Red Sox boast a 13-game winning streak. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, […]
Orioles news: Adley Rutschman to injured list with wrist injury
The Orioles will have to try to keep their winning streak going without All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman. The team announced on Monday afternoon that Rutschman has been placed on the injured list due to inflammation in his left wrist. Corresponding moves had catcher Chadwick Tromp’s contract selected from Norfolk, with outfielder Rudy Martin designated for […]
Orioles-Red Sox series preview: The two hottest teams in baseball face off
Not too long ago, the Orioles and Red Sox looked like two teams destined to battle it out for last place in the AL East. Flash forward to today, and both teams have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs. The Red Sox have been the hottest team in baseball over the last three weeks. […]
Podcast: The Orioles finally have a real winning streak
We have been waiting all season for the Orioles to prove that they are good enough that they can go on a lengthy winning streak to help drag themselves out of the depths they’ve fallen into. They’re finally in the middle of doing that. It only took reaching a new season low point for them […]
Four stats from the Orioles’ current win streak worth examining
The Orioles have saved their season (for the time being) with this current seven-game winning streak. The wins haven’t all been pretty, but they’ve gotten the job done and climbed the team back into the thick of the AL playoff race. It has also set the stage for a massive midweek series in Boston that […]
Orioles minor league recap 7/20: Keys blast six home runs as the fun in Greenville continues
Triple-A: Nashville Sounds (MIL) 4, Norfolk Tides 0 Trey Gibson had the start today and pitched well despite taking the a loss. He allowed a run on a walk and a triple, but covered four innings and allowed just the one run. The game remained 1-0 until the seventh inning, when three runs came in […]
Orioles news: A pivotal series begins in Boston
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Three weeks ago, if you had told me that the Orioles/Red Sox series in mid-July would be a crucially important one for both teams, I’d have looked at you like you had three heads. “Important for what, draft positioning?” I’d have replied derisively, then laughed at my own joke. I’d have […]
Orioles complete sweep, win seventh straight with 5-2 victory in Houston
Despite playing 11 innings on Saturday, Baltimore optioned reliever Cam Sanders and recalled third catcher Sam Huff. Samuel Basallo started today’s game behind the dish, but Huff’s presence indicated that Adley Rutschman was likely unavailable. Huff was thrust into action in the second inning when Samuel Basallo left the game with right shoulder discomfort. The […]
