Kyle Bradish and Félix Bautista got torched, but several other O’s youngsters put on a show in yesterday’s exhibition loss.
Good morning, Camden Chatters.
We’re now just nine days away from the start of the regular season. We’ve reached single digits, you guys! It’ll be here before you know it. The O’s have seven more Grapefruit League games to play before they...

Star slugger Rafael Devers and a healthy Chris Sale will look to lead Boston as they hope to bounce back from a last place finish in 2022.
When the Orioles finished above the Red Sox during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, it seemed like an anomaly. After all, these are the yo-yo Red Sox, a team that recently went from last place to World Series Champion and back to last place in a three-season span. Surely with stars like...

Cedric Mullins and Jorge Mateo will be surrounded by a slightly speedier group than they were last summer.
Major League Baseball wants players to run more, and just about every rule implemented this winter should incentivize them to do so: bigger bases, fewer pickoff attempts, and a pitch clock. It’s a speedster’s dream and should make it far easier to swipe bases. Data from this spring bears that out. Teams are attempting .40 more stolen bases per...
Two questions for you. 1) Will this person be the starting pitcher on Opening Day, and 2) Do you even recognize this person? | Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty Images
Mullins is going to the WBC final, Gibson is getting stretched out, and more in today’s Bird Droppings
Happy Monday, Camden Chatters! It was a big sports weekend with March Madness and the World Baseball Classic in full swing, putting spring training in the back of some people’s minds. But not mine! Because it’s my job.
But...

Two different Orioles games will be played today. You can listen to the home one on the radio.
Hello, friends.
There are now just 11 more days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. This was a number in use by Chris Owings in the 2022 season. #11 remains unclaimed for the 2023 O’s, so far. Its most memorable wearers are from long ago: Doug DeCinces, Luis Aparicio, Gus Triandos. In a bit of synchronicity, #11 was also worn by Robert Andino...

MASN2 will be carrying the game, and it’s on Orioles radio too
In a stroke of good fortune, the Orioles are playing a spring training game today, Grayson Rodriguez is pitching, and this game will actually appear on one of the two channels for the Orioles-owned television network, MASN. This is a rare treat in Birdland for the month of March, so hopefully we can enjoy it.
It’s a road game for the Orioles and they’re going to be...

The O’s are on MASN 2, Baumann heads to a bullpen in flux, and Haskin is making his mark
Good morning, Birdland!
Between the ongoing World Baseball Classic and March Madness, MLB’s regular season is sneaking up on us. In just under two weeks, the Orioles and Red Sox will get the year underway at Fenway Park.
For now, though, the O’s are hitting their stride down in Sarasota. They have lost just once this past week, and that came in...

The O’s have been scoring runs aplenty in spring training of late. Save some of that offense for the regular season!
Good morning, Camden Chatters.
We’re now less than a fortnight away from the start of the regular season, which begins March 30 in Boston, 13 days from today. Between then and now, the O’s will need to pare their current spring roster of 51 players down to their season-opening...

The Orioles’ top pitching prospect is poised to finally make his MLB debut. How will he fare in his rookie campaign?
As Camden Chat’s player projection series comes to a close, we’ll wrap up with the one player who could make perhaps the biggest difference between the 2023 Orioles and the 2022 version. Grayson Rodriguez, the most dominant O’s pitching prospect in years, will finally — barring disaster — make his MLB debut this...
The Orioles are converting right-hander Mike Baumann to a short relief role.
Harvey didn’t make it into a major league game last year for the first time since 2014. He signed a minor league deal with the Orioles but was handed a 60-game suspension from MLB.
Former New York Mets starter Matt Harvey has admitted to some regrets regarding that famous Game 5 loss to the Kansas City Royals in the 2015 World Series.

The No. 2 pick in the 2020 draft is looking and feeling good, and he’s already made a big impression on the skipper.
The Orioles made a bunch of cuts this week, almost all expected: youngsters like Jackson Holliday, Connor Norby, Kyle Dowdy and precocious big bopper Coby Mayo. More interesting, though, was one cut the team didn’t make:...

Baseball is almost here so it’s time to make some predictions.
It’s time for Camden Chat’s pre-season contest! If you’re new to the site in the past year, the contest is a fun event we put on every spring to get people thinking about what could happen in the upcoming year. Will the Orioles be good? What about individual players?
The contest is made up of 30 Orioles-related questions. To participate, just scroll down and answer! Keep an eye on the comments...

The rookie infielder was impressive in his late-season call-up. He will need to do it over an entire season for the Orioles to best their breakout performance from last summer.
That pipeline of talent that general manager Mike Elias has often referenced in his 4+ years in charge of the Orioles finally started to produce worthwhile big leaguers last summer. As a result, the on-field product was finally worth watching in 2022. And although...

The 51 players left in camp will be cut down to 26 within 14 days
Hello, friends.
We are now just two weeks away from Orioles Opening Day. That’s only 14 days from now. The uniform number 14 was last in use by a player in 2021, when it belonged to Rio Ruiz. It’s not currently claimed by any member of the 40-man roster, any non-roster invitee, or any uniformed MLB-level coach. Some other past Orioles to wear the number include Nolan Reimold, Mike...

The Mountain burst onto the seen last year with a triple-digit fastball and a wipe out splitter. Will he be the same guy in 2023?
The Orioles first placed Félix Bautista on the 40-man roster in November 2021. Baltimore added Bautista, DL Hall, Kyle Bradish, Terrin Vavra, Kevin Smith and Logan Gillaspie in an effort to protect them from the Rule 5 draft. Hall and Bradish were thought to be the prizes of the bunch with Vavra and Smith slotting below them....

Bautista excels, Wells struggles, Jones answers questions, and the O’s continue feuding with the Nationals.
Good morning, Birdland!
My brain can only focus on so much baseball at one time, and with the World Baseball Classic in full swing this week, the Orioles are often the ones taking a backseat. But that didn’t prevent me from paying close attention to one very big (in more ways than one) debut for the Birds on Tuesday.
Félix Bautista finally...

We promise that this is a good thing, or at least it could be.
When the Orioles signed Franchy Cordero back in December, he seemed like just another meek attempt at filling the Orioles’ need for a left-handed power hitter. It was hard to get much more excited about Cordero than you did about Lewin Díaz, Ryan O’Hearn or Nomar Mazara. They all seemed like front-office lip service to the idea of making meaningful free-agent signings. None seemed...

Everyone kept thinking Anthony Santander would get traded, but he didn’t. How many taters will he mash?
After being selected from the Rule 5 draft all the way back in 2016, Anthony Santander has spent his entire major league career with the Baltimore Orioles. He’s had his ups and downs but overall was a rare bright spot in the 2017-2021 lineups.
When 2022 rolled around, the Orioles had an abundance of outfielders who had arrived or who were about to. Austin...
