The Orioles have not ruled out signing a veteran free agent for the rotation, but their choices are dwindling by the day. Baltimore could acquire a top arm via trade, but it's hardly a guarantee. Fans cannot fix up the O's and Marlins on a blind date regardless of how strong a match they appear to be. It's perfectly plausible that Mike Elias and…

With the 2021 MLB season upon us, we will take a look at how the AL East appears to be shaping up. Here are my predictions for the AL East in the 2021 MLB season: The Baltimore Orioles finished 4th in the AL East just one season ago, but are by no means ready to compete in this division. The rotation does not look great and the lineup has a ton of…

Well, that was disappointing. The Orioles had a chance to go.500 in the month of May with a win last night. But instead they laid an absolute egg, falling 10-0 to the visiting Mariners. The lineup that Brandon Hyde deployed was this team's A-squad. Cedric Mullins was back atop the lineup. Adley Rutschman was behind the plate. Trey Mancini was in as…

Pitchers and catchers report next month. Somewhere in the middle of it. A long way from Opening Day on March 30 in Boston, but the distance is shrinking. The holiday themes are over unless I'm suddenly motivated by Valentine's Day. Nothing so far about Cupid's arrow, but I decided this morning to take a stab at some 2023 predictions. Here are five,…

The rebuild in Baltimore has entered its fourth year under new management, although 2020 felt like a waste with the minor league season canceled due to COVID-19. The Orioles aren't any closer to contending as they wait to make the first overall selection in the amateur draft. They're undermanned in baseball's toughest division, especially in the…

With Mike Elias having proclaimed "liftoff" for the Orioles, Camden Chat writers are hoping for some impactful free agent additions to the roster. Over the next few weeks, we'll be looking through possible signings - some more realistic than others. In this, the fourth installment of "Orioles Hot Stove 2022: Go Big or Go Home," let's talk Jacob…

There has been plenty of disappointment around Baltimore as the Orioles have not had an active offseason in what seemed like a make-or-break free agency for the future of the squad and the sake of the 2023 team. It especially seemed like an offseason where adding top-of-the-rotation pitching would be a primary goal for the team but that has yet to…

The long winter is almost over. Orioles baseball will be back in our lives tomorrow, or if it really rains a lot in Boston tomorrow, then it'll be back on Friday. The best thing that can be hoped for this season is that baseball in general, and the Orioles specifically, can get back to having normal problems, instead of pandemic problems. The…

The Orioles are entering the third year of a massive rebuilding project under a new front office regime that's introducing the franchise to analytical data and the importance of international scouting. It's a whole new world that likely will produce the same old results in 2021. The team isn't ready to contend over a full season, especially in the…

If the Orioles aren't the most surprising team over the first half of the season, they're certainly among the top. Just about every expert who weighed in on the team before the 2022 campaign began expected 100+ losses again, and even fans who had some hopes of modest improvement didn't expect things to be too much better than that. With the Orioles…

Find out why we're backing more fireworks for the home side in our Orioles vs. Yankees picks. The New York Yankees have won four games in a row and six of their last seven heading into…

Saying goodbye to the team last night was full of mixed emotions. A little bitterness at having come so close to the playoffs just to finish 3.5 games out. A little anger that we couldn't impose our will on the dislikable Blue Jays. A little gnawing anxiety, scanning the faces of the players as they took the field for a collective hat tip to the…

They're going to toy with my emotions, aren't they? The Orioles won again last night, a 6-0 victory over the Houston Astros. It's their third straight win, and thanks to another loss by the Seattle Mariners, the O's are now just three games back of the final AL Wild Card spot. A tall task remains, and since the Mariners already took the season…

Ever since the 2018 Orioles saw their hopes evaporate before they even got out of the month of April, the biggest question there was for fans of the team was simple: When are these guys going to be good again? To the surprise of just about everyone's preseason expectations for the team, the 2022 squad gave us three good months in June, July, and…

With a little less than 10 percent of the 2022 MLB regular season still to come, how are those preseason win totals looking? For more than half the 30 teams, either the over has already cashed or they have been so much worse than anticipated that even a 15-game winning streak to the finish line wouldn't be enough to reach their preseason…

There is still a chance for the Orioles to make the playoffs. That chance is slim, and it would be inadvisable to bet on such a circumstance, but it's possible. That represents a drastic shift in tone from just a week ago, when the Orioles had a big four-game set against the Blue Jays ahead of them, and fans were dreaming of a magical October…

The Baltimore bullpen is a desolate and nearly uninhabitable landscape where young and ineffective pitchers go to get lit up. Our MLB picks for today's game expects the Blue Jays to get to that bullpen early - and proceed to light them up. The Toronto Blue Jays kept their season alive last night, thanks to some unsung heroes who helped knock off…
