Orioles News

The Baltimore Orioles' struggles continued as they fell 1-0 to the Boston Red Sox, marking another disappointing game where offensive support was nowhere to be found for Shane Baz, who pitched well but received no run backing. Blaze Alexander attempted to ignite some energy with a heated exchange in the eighth inning, but it wasn't enough to change the team's fortunes. The loss underscores a troubling trend as the O's have now dropped two in a row to a division rival, leaving their playoff hopes dimmer. Meanwhile, the organization made a roster move, sending Luis Vazquez to Triple-A after he cleared waivers, and fans are still grappling with the fallout from Adley Rutschman's trade. As the team reflects on its past glory from 60 years ago, it struggles to find its footing in the present.

Orioles’ bats disappear in 1-0 loss to Red Sox

The Orioles and Red Sox faced off for the second game of their four-game series, and once again the Orioles were unable to give starter Shane Baz any run support. Baz and Red Sox starter Ranger Suarez dueled and ended with similar results, the only difference being one first-inning run. That was enough to decide […]

It’s okay to not feel okay about Adley’s homecoming

We’re all grown-ups here (speaking personally … sort of?). On that dark day in early August where Adley Rutschman was traded to the Boston Red Sox for four prospects and a backup catcher, I comprehended the cold, rational logic of the deal. Perhaps injuries would keep the O’s 2019 1/1 guy from ever being a […]

Orioles Outright Luis Vazquez

Infielder Luis Vazquez has cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A, the Orioles announced. Vazquez was designated for assignment earlier this week when outfielder Luis Robert Jr. joined the roster. He could’ve elected free agency, but chose to stick in the Baltimore organization. Vazquez appeared in one game for the Orioles. He pinch-ran […]
