’25 Seemingly Over Before Memorial Day; Thoughts On ’26
For the second time in a week, the Orioles have been swept by the Minnesota Twins. The Orioles are 11 games under .500 on May 15th. They entered today 25th in Runs Scored, and 27th in ERA. Ouch. It's a horribly disappointing year. Give me a quick October exit anytime...
What’s Going On With Charlie Morton?
When the Orioles signed Charlie Morton to a one-year, $15 million deal in the offseason, I think the most generous Orioles fan was saying "well, he's not who he used to be, but he started 30 games last year and the year before, turned in fairly respectable numbers,...
10 Games Under .500 On May 8th – Yikes!
After getting swept in Minnesota, the Baltimore Orioles have lost their last 5 games and are 10 games under .500 at 13-23 overall. The O's are: 7.5GB in the AL East. 6GB of the 3rd Wild Card. The opposition has outscored the Birds by a nearly unfathomable 69 runs!...
Finding Good and Bad News With The Orioles Young Hitters
If I told you before the season the Baltimore Orioles would be 11-17 because of their starting pitching, I doubt you’d be surprised. However, if I told you the Orioles would also be 11-17 due to underwhelming starts from several of their younger hitters, I’d imagine...
April Has Been A Disaster; 135 Games Left After Today
The Baltimore Orioles lost both games in a double-header yesterday in Detroit, meaning that win or lose today; the O's are 1-6-2 in their first 9 series of 2025. Woof. There are 135 games left (83%) in the Orioles season after today, starting with a 3 game set to end...
The State Of The Orioles Rotation
24 runs. The most runs the Orioles have given up in a game since their 30-3 debacle against the Texas Rangers back in 2007, and tied for the 3rd most the franchise has ever given up in a game. The starting pitcher for the game, none other than the Orioles’ big...
A Conservative Approach To Starting Pitching
This year’s offseason for the Baltimore Orioles was the latest demonstration of a theme that has been present since Mike Elias’ first draft: a conservative approach to acquiring starting pitching through free agency and the draft. The best way to summarize...
Random Orioles Thoughts Before Opening Day
The Orioles begin their 2025 season Thursday in Toronto. As the year starts, I think the O's are the best team in the East, and probably the best team in the AL. I think they go 92-70, and steadily look increasingly more formidable as the year progresses. I'm not...
