The rotation has taken one full turn. The first homestand reaches its conclusion this afternoon, leading to an off-day and the first road trip to Pittsburgh and Boston. Can't outrun the cold. We remain in the extremely early stages of the 2024 season, which won’t allow hot takes on social media to begin cooling. The steam is swirling. Let’s address

The grounds crew rolled up the tarp and prepped the Camden Yards field, with instructions that tonight’s game would begin at the appointed time. A light rain fell. The Orioles tried not to do the same. They were down by three runs again tonight but didn’t have a dramatic rally in them. The performance fit the dreary setting. Cole Irvin allowed four

With a walk-off win in the series opener Monday, the Orioles and Royals will try to get this game in tonight. An O's win would give them a series win heading into the scheduled third game of this series on Wednesday afternoon. Jordan Westburg's two-run homer in the last of the ninth last night was his first career walk-off homer as the Orioles won

BOWIE, Md. – Catcher Samuel Basallo, ranked as the No. 10 prospect in the sport by Baseball America and No. 17 via MLB Pipeline, will begin the season in the designated hitter role for Double-A Bowie, as expected. But he should be playing in the field within the first 10 or so games of the year. Basallo was only a DH with the Orioles in big league

The Orioles don’t know if they’re going to start tonight’s game on time. They don’t know if play will be interrupted. All they can do is try. Manager Brandon Hyde was asked whether he gets “anxious” during these moments. If he worries about his pitching and other potential complications. This isn’t his first lousy forecast. “Well, you can only cont

Colton Cowser gets his first start tonight if the weather allows the Orioles to continue their series against the Royals at Camden Yards following last night’s walk-off homer from Jordan Westburg. Cowser is playing left field. Austin Hays goes to the bench. Westburg stays in the lineup, starting at third base. Tony Kemp gets his first start at seco

The concern with players who suffer hamate injuries is always a lack of power when they return. So the Nationals were very happy to see Riley Adams hammer a game-tying, two-run home run in the seventh inning of yesterday’s home opening loss to the Pirates. With the Nats down 3-1 and Ildemaro Vargas at first base after grinding out his at-bat for a

He was back playing second base at Camden Yards last night. But this time, Adam Frazier was not playing for, but rather against the Orioles. Frazier enjoyed his time as an Oriole and was a key contributor to a 101-win team that won a division championship. He has high praise for pretty much everything Oriole – especially his former teammates, manag

Orioles executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias informed the media on the first day of spring training that John Means probably would begin the season on the injured list because the left-hander was a month behind the other starters. The Orioles delayed the start of his throwing program after elbow soreness denied him a roster spot in t

Jordan Westburg rounded first base tonight, looked back at the dugout, pumped his fist and yelled. This is what a walk-off home run feels like. This is what a good, young hitter looks like. Cedric Mullins singled with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning against Royals right-hander Nick Anderson, Westburg fell behind 0-2 on a pair of curveball
