The Orioles pitching was really good until it wasn’t, and the offense just never got going in the series opener.
An implosion by Craig Kimbrel in the ninth inning meant a wasted Corbin Burnes start, and a 2-1 loss for the Orioles to begin a weekend series against the Athletics.
Before we get to that, perhaps the biggest long-term takeaway from this game was the Orioles’ new on-field look. As usual, they donned their City Connect jerseys for a...

The O’s are back home but still facing some west coast competition as they begin a series against the Oakland Athletics.
Going into the season, this series looked like a relatively simple one for the Orioles. A home set against a floundering team with no home themselves felt rather straightforward. But a month into the 2024 season these Athletics are far more competitive than anticipated.
A record of 10-16 won’t have anyone confusing the A’s...
The Baltimore Orioles announced on Friday afternoon that they'd demoted 20-year-old infielder Jackson Holliday, MLB Pipeline's No. 1 prospect, down to Triple-A after just 10 games in the big leagues.
Infielder Jackson Holliday's first cup of coffee in MLB didn't last long.
The Orioles sent the struggling No. 1 prospect back to the minor leagues.
The Baltimore Orioles are sending super-prospect Jackson Holliday back to Triple-A for a little additional seasoning.
The Baltimore Orioles optioned struggling infielder Jackson Holliday to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday. Holliday, 20, is just 2-for-34 (.059) with one RBI and 18 strikeouts in 10 games since making his major-league debut on April 10.

It’s hard to keep a mediocre fourth outfielder down
Good news for all of the people who were clamoring for the Orioles to demote Jackson Holliday after all of ten MLB games and bad news for everybody else: The O’s actually went and did it. In a surprise move on Friday afternoon, the team optioned the struggling top prospect back to Triple-A Norfolk.
Along with Holliday being sent to...

Back home this week, the Orioles get something of a breather before the Yankees come to town, although the A’s are no slouch, despite the odds.
Can I be honest? I don’t even enjoy playing the Oakland Athletics anymore, because I can’t summon up the necessary fan-goggles hatred for the opposing team. The Athletics have been through so much, from their stone-hearted owner John Fisher actually reenacting the plot of Major...

In a turn of events not often seen for the Orioles in the last few decades, the club might have too many good starting pitchers.
Good morning, Camden Chatters.
The Orioles have a starting pitching problem. Except it’s not the same kind of starting pitching problem that plagued the team for years and even decades on end in recent history.
No, this “problem” is...

With another step forward this year, the Orioles shortstop is playing his way into MVP talk
Wednesday afternoon’s rubber match against the Los Angeles Angels made one thing clear, in case it needed to be made clear: Gunnar Henderson is one of the best players in the game. Not only did the 22-year-old lefty reach base five times and hit a home run; he also made a spectacular defensive play at the toughest position on the diamond.
It’s this insane...

The O’s reliever was back on the mound in Norfolk, and it did not go great. Elsewhere, Aberdeen was the lone winner on a tough night down on the farm.
Triple-A: Gwinnett Stripers (Braves) 4, Norfolk Tides 3Bruce Zimmermann cruised through the first five innings of this game. Thanks to a pair of double plays along the way, the lefty kept the visitors off the board early on. But that came to an end in the sixth inning, when he faced seven...

Whether that’s a good thing or not is to be determined
Hello, friends.
The Orioles! Sometimes it feels like they can’t make it easy on us even when they’re winning. We got another round of that on Wednesday afternoon when a 6-0 lead in a game where starting pitcher Dean Kremer struck out 10 Angels batters still ended up as a 6-5 squeaker. All it really meant was Craig Kimbrel got a chance to keep marching up the saves leaderboard, which...

The Orioles had a 6-0 lead at one time that turned into another stressful win
Beware of soft-tossing lefties, goes a familiar saying around these parts. I’m kidding; that’s not a saying. It’s true, though, that the 2024 Orioles have a sad .666 OPS against left-handed starters on the...
Gunnar Henderson had three hits, including a home run for the second straight game, and the Baltimore Orioles held on for a 6-5 win against the Los Angeles Angels in the rubber game of their three-game series on Wednesday afternoon in Anaheim, Calif.

Trying for a series win in Los Angeles behind right-hander Dean Kremer.
Admittedly, I didn’t see it coming that on Tuesday night, Grayson Rodriguez would turn in his worst start in nearly a year and that the Orioles’ scorching-hot bats would be neutralized by the likes of Griffin Canning, at least for five innings.
Oh well, there is still a series to win. And to do it, the Orioles will turn to right-hander Dean Kremer, who is 0-2 with a 4.91 ERA in...
