Orioles’ bullpen continues to shine in crucial spots
The Orioles’ 8-5 win over the Detroit Tigers on Monday night was important. Every game they’re playing this week is important. The trade deadline is August 3rd at 6 p.m., and the Orioles must be a true contender in order for them to be aggressive at the deadline. There are five games remaining between now […]
Should the Orioles have re-signed Ryan O’Hearn? | MAILBAG
Question: The trade of Ryan O’Hearn to the Padres at the trade deadline in 2025 looks worse and worse. And I don’t believe that any of the players we got in exchange for him and Ramón Laureano are doing anything in our system. How terrific would his bat look in this lineup? From: Stacey Kagan […]
Orioles’ Bassitt, Mountcastle to begin rehab assignments; Rodriguez traded to Pirates
Orioles manager Craig Albernaz told reporters in Detroit before Monday night’s game that starting pitcher Chris Bassitt and first baseman/designated hitter Ryan Mountcastle will begin rehab assignments with Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday. Bassitt, who had back surgery, and Mountcastle, who fractured his left foot in April, are both on the 60-day injured list. Pitchers are […]
Eager for offense, Orioles add catcher Yohel Pozo, designate Sam Huff for assignment
Eager to add some offense to the catching position while Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo are out, the Orioles on Monday recalled catcher Yohel Pozo from Double-A Chesapeake and designated catcher Sam Huff for assignment. Pozo was claimed off waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. With Basallo and Rutschman on the 10-day injured […]
Orioles need wins to win over disappointed fanbase
Everywhere I turn on social media, I read comments from friends who are disheartened with the current version of the Orioles. Many of them say that they find this team the most difficult to like of any Orioles team. That’s an interesting comment because individually it’s one of the more likable teams in recent years. […]
Will Orioles extend Trevor Rogers? | MAILBAG
Question: Trevor Rogers has said many times he wants to remain with the Orioles. He is actually a year younger than Kyle Bradish and has been very good the last two seasons. It’s time to extend him. Do you think Mike Elias will? From: Mike Beale Answer: Mike, I think Trevor Rogers deserves an extension, […]
Alonso takes the blame as Orioles lose another 1-run game, 3-2 to Braves in 11
BALTIMORE—Pete Alonso was at his locker waiting as the Orioles’ clubhouse door opened, and as usual after difficult losses eagerly took his share of responsibility. In the 10th inning of a 2-2 tie with the Atlanta Braves, the Orioles had the bases loaded with none out after Alonso was walked intentionally, allowing left-hander Danny Young […]
Orioles have demanding schedule; O’s-Braves lineups
BALTIMORE—Every game seems like a “must-win” for the Orioles. There are 57 games remaining in the season and only 12 are against teams not currently in the playoff race. After Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Braves, who lead the National League East, they’ll head to Detroit for three against the resurgent Tigers and return here […]
Beavers’ 9th-inning hit is a game winner as Orioles beat Braves, 3-2
BALTIMORE—For the second straight game, Dylan Beavers batted leadoff, and on Saturday night, he provided the Orioles with a much needed game-winning single in the ninth inning. Beavers’ single to right scored Jackson Holliday from third, and lifted the Orioles to a 3-2 win over the Atlanta Braves 3-2 before 37,883 at Camden Yards. The […]
Orioles’ draft picks Booth, Head, Roberts get first taste of big leagues
BALTIMORE—Three top draft picks got their first experience of taking batting practice at Camden Yards on Saturday. They hope they’ll be taking it before a major league game in the next few years. Eric Booth Jr., the Orioles’ top draft pick, the seventh overall; Ty Head, their second-rounder; and Kevin Roberts Jr., their fourth-round pick, […]
Orioles allow 4 runs in 10th inning in disheartening 7-6 loss to Braves
BALTIMORE—The Atlanta Braves made several excellent defensive plays, perhaps saving three runs. That enabled the Orioles and Braves to play into the 10th inning on Friday night. In the 10th, the Braves scored four runs and hung on for a 7-6 win over the Orioles before 35,775 at Camden Yards. In the 10th, Joey Bart’s […]
Orioles’ Bradish reflects on extension: ‘This is where I want to spend my future’
BALTIMORE—Kyle Bradish didn’t expect the Orioles to offer him an extension. “Obviously, surprised, you’re not thinking about this, especially during the season,” Bradish said on Friday. Last Saturday, the Orioles’ 29-year-old starter signed a five-year, $90 million extension with the Orioles. In Bradish’s first start since the extension, he allowed one run on four hits […]
Rubenstein confident in Elias’ ability to lead Orioles: ‘We’re very pleased’
BALTIMORE—The trade deadline is just 10 days away, and at Friday’s press conference celebrating Kyle Bradish’s contract extension, Orioles control owner David Rubenstein and president of baseball operations Mike Elias both expressed optimism in the team. “We have so much talent on this team,” Elias said. “I think we all look at the record, and […]
Catching up with Orioles’ Zach Eflin
Starting pitcher Zach Eflin came to the Orioles from the Tampa Bay Rays in July 2024. The 32-year-old right-hander went 5-2 with a 2.60 ERA in nine starts. In 2025, when his season ended early because of back surgery, he was 6-5 with a 5.93 ERA in 14 games. In December, Eflin re-signed with the […]
How much of a disappointment has the current group of Orioles been? | MAILBAG
Question: Can we officially say the rebuild was a bust? The Adam Jones teams did a lot more than the current bunch with (arguably) less talent, and they had a pretty subpar farm system at the time. From: Joe Cipolla Answer: Joe, this is a most interesting question. It’s too early to say that the […]
Orioles claim catcher Yohel Pozo off waivers, Rodriguez designated for assignment
The Orioles claimed catcher Yohel Pozo off waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk. With their frontline catchers Samuel Basallo and Adley Rutschman on the 10-day injured list, and Sam Huff and Chadwick Tromp sharing the catcher duties, the Orioles needed another catcher with major league experience. Pozo […]
Orioles end Red Sox’s 15-game winning streak behind Bradish with 5-1 win
BOSTON–What happened? Entering Wednesday night’s second game of a split doubleheader, the Boston Red Sox had won 15 consecutive games, tying the franchise record set in 1946. It was the longest winning streak in baseball since the St. Louis Cardinals won 17 straight in September 2021. After losses in the first two games of their […]
Are Orioles’ injuries preventable? | MAILBAG
Question: Okay, Rich, I’ve had enough! Do you think the organization needs to use all their analytics to scout players who have a tolerance for discomfort? I’ve never seen anything like this bunch! I’m frustrated beyond words. From: 5Brooks5 Answer: Steve, I don’t think the Orioles have soft players. Let’s look at the players who […]
Orioles lose to Red Sox, 6-3, and face challenge without Basallo, Rutschman; Kremer allows 6 runs as Boston wins 15th in a row
BOSTON–What happened? The Orioles had won seven in a row entering their three-game series against the streaking Boston Red Sox, but the excitement about the series was overtaken by the news that their frontline catchers, Samuel Basallo and Adley Rutschman, were placed on the 10-day injured list. Even worse, the Orioles dropped the first two […]
Orioles place Basallo on injured list; Rutschman unsure about his return from wrist injury; O’s-Red Sox lineups
BOSTON—About 20 minutes before Wednesday’s first game of a doubleheader against the Red Sox, the Orioles placed catcher Samuel Basallo on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. Basallo hasn’t played since leaving Sunday’s game with right shoulder discomfort. Sam Huff will catch the first game, and it’s likely Chadwick Tromp will catch the […]
Orioles shouldn’t trade Adley Rutschman
BOSTON—The trade deadline is 12 days away, and suddenly the biggest question from Oriole fans is: Are the Orioles going to trade Adley Rutschman? This was president of baseball operations Mike Elias’ answer to a question on June 27th about Rutschman: “I wish our commitment was greater than it is. We want him here forever.” […]
Bird Tapes Podcast: The Prequel To Orioles History
Before coming to Baltimore in 1954, the franchise spent 52 years as the St. Louis Browns, mostly languishing near the bottom of the American League. But they weren’t boring. And they aren’t forgotten. While watching an Orioles game on MASN earlier this year, I spotted in the crowd a fan with either a sense of […]

BOSTON—The Orioles-Red Sox game scheduled for Tuesday night was postponed by rain. The teams will play a split doubleheader on Wednesday. The first game will begin at 1:35 p.m., and the night game at 7:10. It’s the Orioles’ third rainout of the season, the first on the road. Dean Kremer (1-2, 4.15) will start against […]
Orioles commit 4 errors as winning streak ends with ugly 6-5 loss to Red Sox
BOSTON–What happened? The Orioles’ longest winning streak in nearly three years came to an end in an ugly way on Monday night. After seven straight wins, the Orioles committed a season-high four errors, which sent them on their way to a 6-5 loss to the Boston Red Sox before 37,659 at Fenway Park. Caleb Durbin’s […]
When will Orioles host All-Star Game? | MAILBAG
Question: Is there something wrong with my math…the last time the Orioles hosted an All-Star game was in 1993. 33 years ago. 30 teams in MLB….33 years…I guess we got skipped? Most likely because Camden Yards has such a bad reputation to watch a game and is in no way shape or form would it be […]
