Later on Friday, the Orioles announced several more cuts: catcher Nick Ciuffo and pitcher Spenser Watkins cleared waivers and were outrighted to Norfolk, while pitcher Chris Ellis cleared waivers and is now a free agent. He was one of five Orioles who still remained on the 60-day IL, along with Keegan Akin, Jorge López, Jorge […]
After a solid win last night against the Nationals, tonight the Orioles will be sending Matt Harvey to the mound in an effort to capture a series win. But it seems that he’s just dealing with some soreness in his tricep so they are giving him some rest in hopes that Scherzer can avoid the […]
It’s time for the 2021 Home Run Derby! I know that a lot of people don’t think the derby is terribly exciting, but I have always been a fan. Of course it’s always more fun when one of your own players is in the derby, and this year the Orioles have one! Trey Mancini, fresh […]
Back in the day, when the O’s were competitive and interesting, I devoted my attention to the team on the field instead of high school or college players I’d never heard of who were years away from sniffing the majors. And with the major league club being such an unwatchable mess — with another loss […]
Matt Harvey will take the mound for the Orioles as they shoot for their second consecutive victory and a series win against Toronto. …Read the full story
The Orioles wrapped up yet another losing series this weekend, dropping three out of four in Buffalo to the Blue Jays while getting outscored 31-12 in the set. Mullins finished seventh among AL outfielders in Phase 1 of fans’ All-Star voting, and by virtue of being in the top nine, he advanced to Phase 2. […]
The odds of the Orioles winning a game in which their two best hitters are given off days and half of the starting infield is fresh off of a promotion from Triple-A were not particularly high. Ryan McKenna, Domingo Leyba, and Ramón Urías all went from starting for Norfolk one night to making up a […]
One month and 20 days after they last won a game on the road, the Orioles finally won another one in Buffalo on Friday night. They snapped a streak of RISP futility that had seen them go without a run-scoring hit with a man on second or third base in six games. The offense was […]
More poor pitching doomed them in a Father’s Day loss to the Blue Jays, a 7-4 setback to close out the series with a loss. It’s not fun! The Orioles improved from 47 to 54 wins from 2018 to 2019, then played over the 60-game 2020 season at a pace that would have meant 68 […]
That was pretty much the most recent day where both the MLB team and the farm were exciting. With no Monday games scheduled across the minor leagues in 2021, each Tuesday minor league recap on Camden Chat will be a look back at the week in review. Smith, who arrived from the Mets in the […]
I know, right? It seems like a shame to lose a game where something like that happens. It’s going to be up to Baltimore’s own Bruce Zimmermann to try to carry the weight and pitch a good game in today’s 1:10 series finale to give the O’s a chance of breaking their ongoing 14-game road […]
In the end, the Birds pitched OK, but got very little going against Rays lefty Ryan Yarbrough, while a Tampa Bay hitter with a .302 OPS against lefties—yes, that’s OPS—struck the game’s biggest blow against Orioles starter Keegan Akin with a two-run dinger in the fourth. Ryan Yarbrough is that type of crafty lefty who […]
The Rays got off to a slowish start, finding themselves dead last in the AL East on May 1, but have since ridden an 11-game winning streak all the way to the top of the division. Simple! Their offensive success is a little surprising since as a whole, the Rays are not a good-hitting team: […]
