Baltimore Orioles

This four-game series in New York always seemed to be a pivotal one, even when the schedule released.

COLUMN | The Orioles have mostly been floating under the radar, and even if I suspect the underlying play will continue on that path for a while, there’s value to making early statements when the chance arises.

By splitting Thursday’s two games against the Houston Astros, the Orioles were unable to move above .500.

“It’s a lot of skin,” Palmer said after taking his first bite. “They’re greasy, by the way.”

Why not? There are 18 innings to eat and drink and enjoy baseball.

The Orioles recalled right-hander Cameron Foster to fill Rogers’ roster spot in the short term, although a new starter will be required soon.

“We show flashes of what and how we could play and our potential, and you also see the 180 of that version,” manager Craig Albernaz said.

Orioles right-hander Shane Baz delivered the best start of his limited time in Baltimore.

COLUMN | He came from New York, but the Polar Bear might be an even better culture fit in Charm City. A look inside how Pete Alonso has tried to adapt to his new market, and how it has embraced him back.

The Orioles offense hasn’t been as consistent or productive as you might hope. There are five more months to change that, but this one is basically in the books.

Beavers, a 24-year-old rookie, is taking in everything he can from Ward to help him reach a higher level.

Baltimore’s offense remains inconsistent.

Little did North know his decision as a teenager to try and fail and try again with a new language would open many doors in his life.

The Orioles are off to a better start than the Red Sox (at least according to the win-loss record), and yet against a team in a tailspin, Baltimore lost the series to drop once again to two games below .500 (13-15).

Rogers’ last three starts have all been defined by one poor inning, and on Saturday, in his shortest outing since 2022, that poor inning struck in the second.

COLUMN | Even though it was just one night, it made it easier to believe the baseball bromides used to describe this team hours before first pitch.

McDonald said something eerily similar to a remark by commentator John Lowenstein in 1992.

After Coby Mayo crushed the sixth Orioles homer, the Camden Yards video board apologized. The stadium had run out of home run pyrotechnics, the message read, because there were too many home runs.

“I think that we’re moving in the right direction and it’s not all going to be instantaneous, but I hope to see our record improve over the next month or so,” Elias said.

A timeline is hard to pin down for Holliday. President of baseball operations Mike Elias said the Orioles “were probably expecting to have him back around now,” but no two recoveries are the same.
