Jim Palmer going on Hot Ones would be the greatest fever dream ever

At 80, Orioles Hall of Famer Jim Palmer eats his first chicken wing: ‘Actually, these are pretty good’ www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

When your man says he's changed:

Truly. Adley. Deeply.

Jeremiah Jackson Is Getting His Hacks In blogs.fangraphs.com/jeremiah-jac...

Chris Bassitt had a blunt self-analysis for the start of his Orioles career: “I’m usually an asset, and right now I’m a liability. I’ve got to figure out how to be more consistent and how to eat innings — and not just eat innings, but eat quality innings.”

Craig Albernaz on Coby Mayo's 452-foot homer at Kauffman Stadium: "Being in this division for a couple years, I haven’t seen a right-handed hitter go where he went, and that was pretty impressive. I let him know that.”

lol at the fan shouting “That’s my man!” during Taylor Ward’s at bat in the 12th inning #orioles

The Orioles trail 4-3 heading to the bottom of the 9th, and they can thank Colton Cowser, who prevented a D-backs run from scoring on this diving catch to end the top half of the inning:

COWSER!!!

Rico Garcia has thrown a no-hitter* Nine relief innings, zero hits

Remember the ‘23 and ‘24 playoff-bound O’s who were never out of a game, sparked improbable wins and had nights that made you not believe what you had watched? Monday felt like 1 of those nights. Monday felt like the 1st big moment for the 2026 Orioles. www.mlb.com/orioles/news...

Pete Alonso: “You’ve got to stay in the fight, and we did that. We executed. And phenomenal job. Phenomenal job by everyone staying in it. Was it perfect? No, but hey, it doesn’t need to be. We just need to win at the end of the day, and it was f****** — Oh, my God, I’m so sorry. It was fantastic”

Orioles' Taylor Ward continues to get acclimated to the tricky, spacious left field at Camden Yards. He looked pretty comfortable here, robbing what might have been a home run from the Giants' Harrison Bader in the top of the 8th inning.

Kyle Bradish on this Konnor Griffin at-bat: "A lot of sliders. He chased them. He laid off one, so we pivoted to a curveball and I threw a shitty pitch and he hit it. He’s a good hitter. He’s up here for a reason, so congrats to him, but it was just a bad pitch.”

The Orioles were the 1st team in MLB history to win on a walk-off ABS challenge. Catcher Samuel Basallo wasn't 100% sure it was a strike, but O's still had both remaining. "So I thought, ‘Why not use it?’" Basallo said via interpreter. "Better to use it and see what happens."

The Orioles finalize their opening day roster. Jeremiah Jackson, Yaramil Hiraldo and Anthony Nunez made the team Albert Suarez not on the roster. He had an opt out in his minors contract but could stick with Baltimore. Keegan Akin looks like IL and no Jackson Kowar

Dylan Beavers is not on the IL. Jeremiah Jackson gets the Orioles' final bench spot. Yaramil Hiraldo and Anthony Nunez are in the bullpen. No Keegan Akin (adductor). No Heston Kjerstad (hamstring).

My 2026 Cy Young Award Predictions..

MY OFFICIAL ORIOLES SEASON PREDICTION AS AN EXPERT IN THE FIELD: Record: 162-0. MVO: All of them will tie for it and then hug. Most likely to be traded: Keegan Akin. You know what you did. Home Run Leader: Gunnar Henderson, Pete Alonso, and Adley Rutschman will all tie with 63 each and then hug.

Here is Chris Bassitt explaining why he and Pete Alonso had the Orioles redo a drill in March. Their eyes are on October. “We have to raise expectations around here.” www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

These are such a big upgrade over the previous city connects. #orioles

Orioles' Gunnar Henderson for Team USA in the 2026 World Baseball Classic so far: 6-for-12 (.500 with 1 double, 2 home runs, 4 RBIs and a 1.583 OPS. Elite.

Gunnar Henderson just hit a game-tying solo home run in the 4th inning of the United States-Dominican Republic WBC semifinal. That’s why Henderson needed to be in the lineup.

An Orioles vs. Orioles matchup in the WBC results in Canada's Tyler O'Neill drawing a bases-loaded walk against Puerto Rico's Rico Garcia. Garcia entered with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the top of the 3rd before allowing 2 inherited runners to score (both via walks).

ABS to half the Orioles lineup

MLB players with 4+ home runs this Spring Training: Vance Honeycutt (4). That's the complete list. And Honeycutt has done it with only 4 at-bats.

2026 Orioles Projection (as of today) Birdland Metrics: 81 Wins (~36% playoff odds) Fangraphs: 84 Wins (~51% playoff odds) The two models have fundamental differences, but both are converging on the same expected win total. Full explanation in the article 👇: birdlandmetrics.com/articles/elo...

Quick Pete Alonso story: On a whiteboard by the clubhouse, he has taken to writing inspirational quotes for his teammates. Today he wrote: "Every success could be perceived as a fluke. That's why you should go succeed again."

Pete Alonso’s parents were here for his first spring training game as an Oriole. He said it was reminiscent of growing up — he played for the Sarasota Salty Dogs, a travel team, with their field across the street from Ed Smith.

So satisfying to see Pete’s first home run of many in an Orioles uniform

Alby's first argument and ejection is gonna go SO HARD
