Orioles news: Wild card standings, Basallo struggles
Hello, friends. The Orioles have managed to creep closer to a wild card spot yet again. Thanks to losses by the Guardians and Rangers yesterday and the O’s holding on to take down the Athletics, the team is now just a game back of the third wild card, with only Cleveland standing between the Orioles […]
Orioles score early, hold off Athletics for Baz’s first win since June, 5-3
As we head into the final month of the season, this year’s past frustrations are just that, past. For all their flaws in construction and execution, the Orioles now have the chance to seize control of their playoff destiny, stack some wins, and grab the third and final Wild Card spot for good. Today, they […]
Saturday night Orioles game thread: @ Athletics, 10:05 ET
Happy Saturday, folks! Hope you’re having a nice weekend. If you decide to spend it watching late-night West Coast baseball, I hope the Orioles grace you with a series win tonight. They snatched a win in Game One last night with a 4-3 victory in ten innings. Although Brandon Young pitched a strong seven innings, […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/29: Honeycutt delivers game-winning homer
Triple-A: Durham (Rays) 7, Norfolk Tides 0 The Tides mustered a whopping three hits and one walk in this game. That’s a tough way to win. Enrique Bradfield Jr., Creed Willems, and Brandon Butterworth all took 0-fors in the game. Heston Kjerstad pinch hit in the ninth inning and hit a double. He’s OPSing .790 […]
Orioles news: O’s gain ground in playoff race with extra-inning win
Good morning Birdland, You may not have been dreaming, but while you slept the Orioles did win their opener in Sacramento and gained a game in the AL wild card standings. The 4-3 win on Friday night required extra innings and a pair of clutch hits from Coby Mayo and then Christian Encarnacion-Strand in the […]
Mayo, CES lead Orioles to 10-inning win over Athletics, 4-3
For those who stayed up well into Saturday morning to watch the opener of this Orioles-Athletics series, well, I wouldn’t exactly say you witnessed an instant classic. There was a whole lot of silly baseball going on. Baserunning blunders. Defensive butchery. Inexplicable managerial decisions. The Orioles couldn’t score more than two runs in regulation against […]
Friday Night Orioles Victory GIF Party
It is Friday night. Or at least it was when this game started. The Orioles have beaten the Athletics by a 4-3 score over a ten-inning contest. It was, frankly, a stupid game where a lot of things happened that should have caused the O’s to lose, except, they didn’t lose. Brandon Young pitched seven […]
Orioles vs. Athletics discussion
We’ve got a late one tonight. Let’s hope the Orioles make it worth staying up for. The O’s kick off a three-game series against the Athletics at Sacramento’s Sutter Health Park with a 9:40 ET start time for the opener. These next six games against the crummy A’s and Rockies represent the Orioles’ best chance […]
Orioles-Athletics series preview: Late night baseball
What is there to say about the Athletics? At 53-81, they aren’t even the worst team in their division! That honor goes to the Los Angeles Angels. But before anyone gets too smug, the Orioles have lost series to both teams this season. Whether in fourth or fifth place in the AL West, the Athletics […]
Do the Orioles have enough left in the tank to make a run?
Labor Day steals fast upon us, and in baseball language, this means we’re closing in on the point in the season when a team’s record and standings are a truer indicator of underlying value than vague talk about “parts” and “clubhouse vibes” and “potential.” It’s been a difficult year for the Orioles by most measures—a […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/28: Bautista looks sharp in second rehab appearance
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 5, Durham Bulls (Rays) 4 Félix Bautista delivered a clean inning in his second rehab appearance (first at Triple-A). Bautista shook off the rust from his first outing and generated a ground out, strikeout, and fly out. His sinker topped out at 97 MPH. Bautista entered after starter Trey Gibson threw four […]
Orioles news: O’s fail to sweep, West Coast trip upcoming
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles’ frantic march toward .500 has hit another stumbling block. They couldn’t complete the sweep of the Cardinals yesterday afternoon, dropping the finale by a 7-5 score. Trevor Rogers struggled, the O’s offense was slow to get going against a Cardinals bullpen game, and a late comeback attempt fell short. […]
Late comeback falls short as Orioles lose to Cardinals, 7-5
Put the brooms back in the closet, Orioles fans. The O’s missed their chance to secure their fifth series sweep of the season, dropping the finale to the Cardinals in St. Louis, 7-5. The Cards built up a big early lead against an ineffective Trevor Rogers, then held off a late Orioles comeback attempt to […]
Orioles vs. Cardinals discussion
The last time the Orioles visited St. Louis, in May 0f 2024, the Cardinals won all three games to end the Birds’ 106-series regular season sweepless streak. So I’d say the Orioles owe the Cards a sweep of their own. After a blowout win in the opener and a blowout-turned-nailbiter victory in game two, the […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/27: Bradfield homers and doubles in Norfolk win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 7, Durham Bulls (Rays) 6 The Norfolk offense stormed back from three different deficits to come back and win this game, scoring three unanswered runs in the game’s final three innings. Enrique Bradfield Jr. made his case for a September call up with his 3-for-4 game, which included a double, a home […]
Orioles news: The O’s survived a near-meltdown
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles just can’t make things easy, can they? What should have been a second straight breezy blowout win over the Cardinals turned into a cardiac-inducing affair, a game that saw the O’s fritter away a 7-0 lead and nearly suffer what would’ve been perhaps their most agonizing loss of the […]
Orioles blow big lead, come back with 8-7 win over Cardinals
Well, this game was like a rollercoaster. And when it ended, I felt much like I do after a real rollercoaster: happy but mildly nauseous. The Orioles jumped out to a huge early lead in this game, big enough to make us relax a bit. The vibes were good, and the offense was cooking. But […]
Orioles @ Cardinals discussion
Orioles vs Cardinals7:45 EDTMASN/MASN+ The Orioles laid the smack down on the Cardinals last night with a 13-1 victory to kick off their nine-game road trip. It was an exciting win but let’s be honest: we are Orioles fans. We know that this means the Orioles will probably suffer a demoralizing loss tonight. Maybe a […]
Basallo’s bat can make powerful impact over final stretch
The Orioles placed Samuel Basallo on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation back on July 22. At that time, Baltimore was 50-53. The Birds were only a few games removed from a seven-game win streak that had the potential to save their season. Adley Rutschman, Taylor Ward and Tyler Wells were still on the […]
Orioles minor league recap 8/26: Alexander makes rehab start in Norfolk win
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 3, Durham Bulls 1 Cade Povich delivered his best Triple-A start of the season and Blaze Alexander made his first rehab appearance in the Tides’ series-opening win. The 26-year-old lefty started off the game with back-to-back strikeouts before ending the inning on a runner caught stealing. After a 1-2-3 second, Povich ran […]
Orioles news: Alonso leads offensive outburst, Alexander starts rehab
Good morning Birdland, At this point in the season every single game is crucial, and the Orioles played like it on Tuesday night. They used an eight-run fifth inning and a stellar start from Chris Bassitt to crush the Cardinals 13-1 in the series opener. The 2.5-game gap between the Orioles and the final AL […]
Orioles open road trip with 13-1 beatdown of Cardinals
The Orioles kicked off a crucial nine-game road trip with a blowout 13-1 win over the hosting Cardinals on Tuesday night. Pete Alonso paced the lineup before he left the game with a flare up of his calf injury. O’s starter Chris Bassitt turned in a solid 6.2 innings before Anthony Nunez over-powered the opposing […]
Orioles at Cardinals discussion
If the Orioles are going to make a push for the playoffs in this final month or so of the season, they are gonna have to win a bunch of games. That means beating solid teams like these Cardinals on the road. It’s not gonna be easy. It’s a left-handed starter on the mound for […]
Orioles-Cardinals series preview: One more pivotal road trip
As we head into the last week of August, the Orioles remain what they’ve been all year, a maddeningly inconsistent outfit whose offense is capable of simply switching off at inconvenient times, and whose defense is prone to make stupid errors just when the game is on the line. And yet, they’re still not out […]
Three players that need to step up for the Orioles offense
With 31 games left to go in the season, the Orioles are in a weird spot. After the Guardians win last night, Baltimore finds itself 2.5 games back of the final AL Wild Card spot with just over a month of baseball left to play. It’s far from an insurmountable deficit; the O’s have nine […]
