O's draft class arrives at Delmarva, ready for next step (updated)
SALISBURY, Md. - The team that takes the field tonight at Perdue Stadium for the low Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds will look very different from the team that lost 2-1 at Lynchburg on Sunday. This club tonight is putting a team on the field made up completely of position players from the 2021 First-Year Player draft, along with infielder Coby Mayo, taken in the 2020 draft. Buy a scorecard to watch the Shorebirds this week, as they've added 12 draft picks from the class of 2021, including the...

His stats have fallen off, but O's remain bullish on Gunnar Henderson

His stats have fallen off, but O's remain bullish on Gunnar Henderson
When the Orioles made a host of minor league roster moves on Monday, one player that was staying put - and was expected to - is high Single-A Aberdeen infielder Gunnar Henderson. Rated as the club's No. 4 prospect by Baseball America and No. 84 in their top 100, he is No. 5 and No. 87 in the top 100 by MLBPipeline.com. He began this year at low Single-A Delmarva, where he tore it up as a 19-year-old posting a line of .312/.369/.574/.944. But since moving to Aberdeen, where he turned 20 on June...

Orioles move up to No. 2 in Baseball America organization rankings
Heading into the 2021 season, the Orioles were rated No. 7 in the Baseball America organizational rankings in January.

In March, they were ranked No. 5 by MLBPipeline.com, so the club is movin' on up. The Baseball America organization rankings include players that are prospect-eligible as of Aug. 15....

For O's, competitive stretches followed by mounting losses

For O's, competitive stretches followed by mounting losses
For a while when the 2021 season began, the Orioles were playing some competitive baseball. They went 4-2 on an opening road trip to Boston and New York and 7-8 after 15 games. After 31 games, they were 15-16. When the second half began after the All-Star break, the Orioles went 10-6 in the first 16 games. You add those two stretches together and you get 25-22, or .532 baseball over a 47-game stretch. But with Sunday's loss at Boston, the club's 11th in a row, the Orioles are 13-56 (.188) in...

O's fell in first-inning hole as losing streak continues
In baseball, what happens in all nine innings counts. and what happened today in the first inning at Boston was pretty big as the Orioles saw their losing streak to extended 11 games in a row. They fell behind 3-1 after one frame on their way to a 6-2 loss. Boston swept this three-game series by a combined score of 30-5 after being swept there in the first series of the season when they were outscored by Baltimore 18-5.

Could pitcher who began the season at Aberdeen end with Baltimore?

Could pitcher who began the season at Aberdeen end with Baltimore?
Before the 2021 season, he had never pitched even as high as high Single-A. But it is possible that right-handed reliever Félix Bautista could end this season in the Orioles bullpen. Bautista, 26, from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, has been in the O's farm system since they signed him in August 2016. The Miami Marlins originally signed him out of the Dominican in November 2012, but released him in January 2015. Bautista throws a fastball that has touched 100 mph multiple times this...

O's game blog: López against Sale at Fenway Park
If the Orioles are going to end a long losing streak today at Boston, they may have to beat lefty Chris Sale, who is making his return to the majors today. Sale and Boston host the Orioles in Game 2 of a three-game series and, for the Orioles, a seven-game road trip. Boston got homers from Xander Bogaerts (No. 18), Bobby Dalbec (No. 12) and Hunter Renfroe (No. 20) in an 8-1 win last night. That snapped the Orioles' four-game win streak at Fenway Park, during which they had allowed just six...

Mullins extends hit streak, but O's extend losing streak

Mullins extends hit streak, but O's extend losing streak
The Orioles' losing streak reached nine last night as right-hander Spenser Watkins allowed six runs and seven hits over four innings in an 8-1 loss at Boston. The Orioles have allowed 82 runs during the losing streak as they fell to 38-76. Watkins struggled badly to throw strikes Friday night, and when his pitches did find the zone, they found the middle of it too much. Boston scored four runs in the third and led 5-1 after three innings. So five runs in three innings last night and Boston had...

Trey Mancini on Chris Davis and other O's notes

Trey Mancini on Chris Davis and other O's notes
Trey Mancini had been teammates with Chris Davis for a long stretch. Mancini came up for the end of the 2016 season, was active that year for the American League wild card game and had been teammates with Davis since then. After the Orioles lost to Detroit on Thursday, Mancini talked about Davis announcing his retirement earlier in the day. "I was sad," Mancini said during a postgame Zoom interview. "You know, Chris, I've been playing with him for a long time and I've known him for quite a...

Means allows three homers, Tigers finish sweep (updated)

Means allows three homers, Tigers finish sweep (updated)
With ace lefty John Means on the mound today, the Orioles certainly felt like they had a good shot to end a losing streak. And Detroit's Miguel Cabrera, sitting on 499 homers, sat out, waiting to play his next game at home on Friday. But the Detroit Tigers didn't need any longballs from Cabrera today. They hit three off Means without him, building an early 5-2 lead and went on to beat the Orioles 6-4 on a sweltering afternoon at Camden Yards. The Orioles (38-75) capped a homestand by going...

Hyde on Davis' retirement and Wells' return
As he sat in the dugout for his pregame interview today, Orioles manager Brandon Hyde was asked about the retirement of first baseman Chris Davis. Hyde managed Davis for 105 games in the 2019 season and 16 games last season. "I want whatever is best for Chris and Chris' family," Hyde said. "We traded texts this morning. We've stayed in touch this season. Always got along really well with him, really like him. He's done so many great things for this organization, the community here, so...

A few thoughts on Chris Davis' retirement

A few thoughts on Chris Davis' retirement
When we saw former Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy at Camden Yards for his O's Hall of Fame induction over the weekend, it brought back a lot of good memories. He was a huge part of the core group of players that took an organization that had 14 straight losing seasons and turned it back into a winner. A winner that led the American League in victories from 2012 through 2016 and that made three playoff appearances, advancing as far as the 2014 American League Championship Series. It was a special...

O's game blog: John Means faces Tigers in series finale
As the Orioles wrap up a three-game series with the Detroit Tigers this afternoon, Baltimore's Anthony Santander can homer for the fourth game in a row and Tigers great Miguel Cabrera could hit a milestone 500th home run. Cabrera could, but he will have to do it coming off the bench as h is not in the starting lineup. The Tigers return home to Comerica Park after today's game for a six-game homestand. Cabrera blasted home run No. 499 in Detroit's 5-2 win last night. He connected against a...

A few notes on O's latest loss and more from Adley Rutschman

A few notes on O's latest loss and more from Adley Rutschman
On a night the Orioles losing streak was extended to seven with a 5-2 loss to Detroit, there were a few positive signs that some better days could be in the offing. For one, it was good to see Matt Harvey return, throw four scoreless innings before he ran into trouble in the fifth and get through his start doing fine physically. This outing was pushed back a few days after he tweaked his right knee in his last start. With lefty Bruce Zimmermann likely to rejoin the rotation this weekend, this...

Adley Rutschman on his move to Triple-A and more

Adley Rutschman on his move to Triple-A and more
For the player who is now baseball's No. 1 ranked prospect and seems to always be a marked man, his first day at the minor leagues' highest level produced a strong debut. He had two hits and caught a game in which the opposing team had just one. In Triple-A Norfolk's 4-0 win Tuesday night over Memphis at Harbor Park, catcher Adley Rutschman caught a three-pitcher one-hitter. At bat he went 2-for-4, with an RBI single in his third at-bat and a double in his fourth. Rutschman said he was...

O's game blog: Matt Harvey faces the Tigers at Oriole Park
The Orioles' homestand continues at Camden Yards tonight, and they are looking for their first win during a homestand where they have gone 0-3 versus Tampa Bay and 0-1 against Detroit. O's pitchers have allowed 40 runs in the four games. Overall the Orioles (38-73) have lost six in a row, allowing nine runs or more in each of those games. Last night they became the first team to allow nine or more in six in a row since Kansas City in 2002. The major league record for this is seven games in a...
