Could be a wild and wooly November for MLB, since that might constitute the entire offseason if the owners stage a lockout on Dec. 1. So the Orioles need to come out swinging. Read my take here: bit.ly/4jYnNzS
If anyone knows where the Orioles' offense is hiding, please write. They were shut out again last night and have probably exited the playoff race for good. Tough to see October from the AL East cellar. My take here: bit.ly/4hbKG14
Can't be anything but disappointed that the Orioles flopped in the final two games of what was shaping up to be a terrific road trip. Six of nine is usually fine, but not this time. Read my take here: bit.ly/4iHSEA7
Here's my attempt to make sense of the Orioles limited selloff at the trade deadline. President of baseball ops Mike Elias says he still believes the Orioles have a chance to reach the playoffs, but couldn't afford wait and find out. My take below. bit.ly/4wOrBaD
The Orioles have come up short seven times trying to extend a three-game winning streak this season, but might be feeling it today after playing their most complete game of the year. Read my take here: bit.ly/3SVZlUy
The heat is still on the Orioles, but they won yesterday and struggling Tyler O'Neill got to celebrate a very happy Canada Day. My take below: bit.ly/4vIXAs8
We've passed the halfway point in the 2026 baseball season and it certainly feels like the Orioles are going nowhere fast. Read my take below: bit.ly/4bcoYqb
Good news for all my West Coast friends. The Orioles open a nine game road trip tonight in Seattle and then play the Dodgers and Angels. I'm wondering where they will be when they get back to Baltimore. Read my take below: bit.ly/4ecwHXt
The Orioles are suddenly on a minor roll, thanks in part to a horrendous defensive performance by the first-place Tampa Bay Rays. But things are definitely looking up. Read my take below: bit.ly/4nPYLD4
The Orioles delivered a pair of exciting comeback wins against the struggling Tigers over the weekend, but their longest homestand of the season gets harder from here. Read my take below: bit.ly/4nOks6B
While the Orioles (and a whole bunch of other teams) hover around .500, it looks like they are to feel their oats. I have no idea where that expression comes from, but you can read my column about last nights game right here: bit.ly/3P6Q8qO
Since the Orioles just gave starting pitcher Shane Baz a five-year contract extension, it seems likely they'll try to do the same with rotation mates Trevor Rogers and Kyle Bradish. Check out my take below: bit.ly/3PPS5be
The Orioles won for the fifth straight time on Opening Day yesterday, but they usually do that with a bit more flair. Maybe grinding out a low-scoring win will benefit them more over the long run. My take below: bit.ly/4rWFKza
It hasn't been smooth sailing so far at Orioles spring training, but I'm still relatively bullish on the team's playoff hopes after a very disappointing 2025 season. Read my take here: bit.ly/3OQLpcm
If it looks like the Orioles still can't catch a break, that appearance is not deceiving. Here's my take on the news today that oft-injured third baseman Jordan Westburg has a partially torn ligament in his right elbow. Ouch: bit.ly/4rTWCam
The Orioles open spring training this week, but their offseaon work is far from complete. That could play both ways. Read my take here: bit.ly/4tpzPVd
Spring training is just around the corner and the Orioles still just missed on free agent starter Framber Valdez. Is it time to panic? I think not: bit.ly/3OrIt5C
It's not like I just woke up and realized Pete Alonso is an Oriole...I just needed a few days to digest last Friday's introductory media conference. Read my take here: bit.ly/3MHns6i
If you're wondering why the Orioles would give up on a potential pitching ace with four years left under club control for an outfielder who can leave after next season, I think I know. Read my take here: bit.ly/4pqMODz
Orioles control partner David Rubenstein said during Tuesday's news conference that the club can afford to do whatever it wants this winter. I'm not sure what that actually will mean, but you can decide for yourself after reading my take below: bit.ly/3XhbPos
