As of Tuesday night, it's official: Corbin Burnes and Anthony Santander declined the qualifying offers and are free agents. Mark is counting on cashing in the draft picks when they sign elsewhere, even after getting burned when Colton Cowser didn't actually win ROY and give the Orioles a bonus pick. Also in this episode: A little Hall of Fame ballo…

Around the midway point of the season, the Orioles had strong contenders for Rookie of the Year, Cy Young, and MVP awards. Now we're in November and the top 3 finishers were announced and all the O's have is Colton Cowser as a possible ROY winner. That's the big one, since it awards the Orioles a draft pick if he wins, so Mark hopes it comes throug…

MLB's offseason isn't even a week old and the Orioles have already made at least one surprise move in deciding not to bring back reliever Danny Coulombe on a modest contract for 2025. Mark runs down the team's routine roster maintenance over the first post-World Series days before turning to the broader question of what the O's need to do to have a…

On February 1 when the Orioles acquired Corbin Burnes, we could all imagine an exciting rotation for the season. The injuries to Kyle Bradish and John Means pierced those dreams but things worked out okay after all. Mark looks at the good and the bad from the 2024 starting pitchers in the last of his season review episodes. Learn more about your ad…

The bullpen was one of the big strengths of the Orioles in the 2023 season. For 2024, a big question was, could they continue that with Félix Bautista out for the year? In this episode, Mark runs through the various ways that this question was answered with a resounding "No," from Craig Kimbrel on down to the midseason trash heap addition of Burch …

The season didn't play out in the Orioles infield quite like fans might have hoped, particularly with Adley Rutschman's second half struggle and Jackson Holliday's flop of a debut. Mark looks at each infield position to see who delivered, who didn't, who should/will be back next year and how to feel about all of that. It's not all Adley angst, I pr…

This review of the 2024 Orioles outfield is the first of Mark's four part look at the season. Starting with the outfield, we all assumed that Hays/Mullins/Santander would be the OF, and things didn't turn out that way thanks to Colton Cowser's semi-breakout. With Tony Taters about to become a free agent, things are likely to look different yet agai…

Another season, another Orioles postseason appearance, another swift exit. Mark's dream of the Orioles winning the World Series in his lifetime must wait another year. In this raw episode, talking about what went wrong in the short two-game sweep, what needs to go right in the future, and some very early thoughts on what's going to have to change t…

For a second consecutive postseason, the Orioles have gotten off to a bad start that could end up leading them to a swift exit. Mark breaks down the powerless game 1 Orioles, and on the subject of powerless, goes into an existential rant about baseball fandom and how there's nothing that any of us can do to make our favorite baseball team win, but …

The Orioles wrapped up their regular season with a 91-71 record, giving consecutive 90+ win seasons for the first time in Mark's life - and yours too if you're 41 or younger. Their reward for this, after other MLB results on Sunday, is a wild card date against the Kansas City Royals. Did you just shudder? Mark did. In this episode, a breakdown of K…

The Orioles clinching a postseason berth in Yankee Stadium was sweet, as was their fighting off the Yankees clinching the AL East until the final game of the just-finished series. Mark reacts after an especially feel-bad loss that wrapped up the series, hoping that less-reliable relievers struggling isn't going to impact much. On the bright side, t…

If things had gone better for the Orioles, they could have clinched a wild card spot this past weekend. Instead, they've only let the surging Tigers into a messy picture and the O's just keep sputtering and not sealing up their spot.

After Seranthony Domínguez blew the save on Thursday afternoon, the Orioles could have easily continued careening towards disaster.

Mark discusses the reprie…

Time is running out on the 2024 season and the Orioles have still not managed to solve their big problems on offense. Mark laments after the weekend's series loss in Detroit that the O's winning the AL East is a dead dream now, and holding on to the home wild card position is in danger if they can't get this thing figured out too. After breaking do…

Remember feeling good about the 2024 Orioles? It's been a while, and their last series against the Red Sox didn't make the good feelings return. Mark again pleads for things to get better over the final 15 games the team has left to play, lest they slip into a worse postseason spot. There are many culprits and the O's just need some of these guys t…

The Orioles have scored four runs in their last four games. They're lucky to have won one of them. Mark vents his frustration with the hitters, especially Adley Rutschman, before pleading to keep things in perspective and not let the disappointment turn into bitterness as this injury-plagued O's team continues an underwhelming multi-month stretch. …

The Orioles are fresh off a disappointing loss to the White Sox, but they still won two out of three and that was good enough to get them into first place in the AL East.

The Orioles are STILL playing .500 since June 9 thanks to winning two of three against the Rockies, which they absolutely needed to do. Mark is feeling both relief and anxiety (as usual) thanks to the wins in combination with more O's injuries, including to their best August hitter Ramón Urías. Also in this episode, breaking down the postseason pic…

The Orioles have continued on their basic "playing .500 since early June" path by mixing in frustrating losses with fun wins that they just can't manage to string together. Mark is not feeling great about what the flaws they've shown in July and August means for October, particularly the struggle of Corbin Burnes. He tries to make himself (and you)…

If you knew after the Orioles trailed 5-2 heading into the eighth inning on Friday that they'd split the four-game set with the Astros, you' be thrilled. Except getting only two hits after Friday and Saturday's dramatic wins isn't too thrilling after all. Mark grapples with the continuing .500 mediocrity before turning to cheerier topics, like Samu…

After losing two of three games to the Mets with both losses coming on walkoff home runs, the Orioles continue to be playing at a .500 pace since June 9.

Watching only the Orioles, it feels like they're barely treading water lately - because they have been, playing .500 baseball for over two months.

The Orioles are fresh off another one of those games where it's hard to be able to feel like they can hold on, or do good things once they get into October.

The Orioles starting rotation suffered another blow on Tuesday with Grayson Rodriguez knocked out due to what the team calls a "mild" lat strain.

Santander has…

There's been a whole lot of Orioles roster turnover in the last week and a half between the trades and the sorta-surprising promotions of Jackson Holliday and Coby Mayo.

It's been a wild week in Birdland between all of the Orioles trade deadline activity, Jackson Holliday getting called up again in the aftermath of that, and Jordan Westburg suffering a serious injury in the aftermath of THAT.

No one was more surprised than Mark to see the Orioles ship Austin Hays off to the Phillies for a couple of MLB players who maybe don't even improve the roster all that much.

The Orioles are 61-41 on the season but after the series they just played against the Marlins, it sure doesn't feel like this is a 97-win team.

Now j…

The Orioles came out of the All-Star break looking like four days of rest is exactly what they needed, with two good offensive performances (and one not so good) in their first series.

For Mark, that's a #2 (or maybe 3) starting pitcher and a se…

First off: Thank goodness for that walkoff Orioles win before the All-Star break because Mark knows he's not the only one who would have been miserable.

The Orioles just got swept by another up-til-now-mediocre NL Central team, the Cubs. In the process, they matched a feat last done by the 2021 Orioles. Mark is not excited to hear those guys invoked.

Mark went on vacation and in the time he was gone, the Orioles gained three games on the Yankees. It's fun!

Seriously, not even a single position player reserve? Rude. Mark salutes guys who h…

How are the Orioles doing right now? Mark doesn't know, because he's on vacation, so he recorded this podcast ahead of time in which he shows what a sicko he is by talking about every former Oriole (or prospect) who's appeared with an MLB team this season. How sicko? It's thorough enough to discuss Tobias Myers. This is part 1 of 2, covering Angels…

The Orioles snapped their five-game skid with a win on Wednesday and Mark is mighty glad for that because it wouldn't have been pretty to think about the team after being swept twice.

As Orioles fans know from last year, you can have a great team that finishes with a great record and it still has rough patches.

Also in this episode, a look ahead to the O's next opponent,…

It doesn't get much better than the Orioles blowing out the Yankees by shelling their AL ERA leader (he's not any more), so Mark is basking in the glow of that victory with this observation: The Yankees are shook by the O's.

The Orioles started off their nine games against contenders by going 2-1 against the Braves - fun except for everyone who went to the one loss, including Mark.

The Orioles are on pace for a 104-win season and they are two games better than they were at this point a year ago.

The slumping Orioles offense came through enough for two wins in three games against a great Mariners staff.
