Baltimore Orioles talk

Craig Albernaz on his “chat” with ump Nic Lentz:

“I was just exchanging pleasantries. Didn’t go out for the plate meeting. Just wanted to say hi to Nic… ask how he was doing… how’s the hotel… making sure he’s getting a good night’s sleep. Yeah, just saying hi.”

Birdland, this man is ELITE at sarcasm.
The Orioles are fighting for a Wild Card spot, taking games off Tampa, and Albernaz is out here giving customer service energy to the umpires.

This team is comedy, chaos, and heart — all at once.
Let’s keep splashing.

Birdland… WE’RE COMING.
The Orioles just took the first two from Tampa and we’re officially ONE GAME OUT of the Wild Card. This team refuses to quit. The fight, the energy, the chaos — it’s all hitting at the perfect time.

August baseball is different. Every pitch matters. Every win flips the standings. And right now, the Birds are making their move.

Let’s keep splashing. Let’s keep pushing.
Let’s go O’s. 🧡🖤

Ok let’s go orioles .. how are the rangers sitting below 500. And still leading the wildcard ? Like for real

How’s everyone feeling after last night.. apparently this isn’t the only time orioles had a run in with Mr foul pole with the Yankees .. anyone remember 2019 Yankee stadium playoffs

August has been a roller coaster for the Orioles, and losing Adley Rutschman is the biggest gut punch of the month. He’s the heartbeat of the lineup and the clubhouse, so his absence changes everything.

What’s still going right

• Coby Mayo is stepping up with big-time power.
• Gunnar Henderson continues to be the engine at the top of the order.
• Westburg and Mountcastle are keeping the offense afloat.
• The rotation — especially Grayson and Bradish — is grinding through tough games.

What Adley’s absence means

• The lineup loses its most consistent bat.
• Pitchers lose their best game-caller and framer.
• Leadership takes a hit — he’s the emotional anchor.
• Every game becomes a “who steps up now?” situation.

The vibe in Birdland

It’s tense, but not defeated.
Fans know this team has depth, swagger, and fight.
August has turned into a test of resilience — and the Birds are still swinging.

David Huber

Well we sure thought Pete had a big home run tonight..

And there’s Pete with a blast !!!

We’d like to introduce our new admin David Huber please welcome him as he has experience with baseball and great knowledge of the game

westburg: shut down from throwing again after his elbow flared up on may 4... return is still tbd
povich: on the 15-day il with forearm discomfort... team might give him a cortisone shot
trevor rogers: should be back this week after that illness
helsley: imaging was clean but still hasnt started throwing yet
holliday and kjerstad: both moving to triple-a norfolk today to continue rehab
mountcastle: cbs is saying mid-june at the earliest for that foot injury
basallo: scratched yesterday with knee discomfort... still waiting to see how bad that is
kremer: looking like a late may return for his quad

And this is why the orioles are struggling.. it’s injuries . We need to get healthy . It’s a long season .
