Wednesday night Orioles game thread: vs. Nationals, 6:35
Gregory Fisher-USA TODAY Sports Clinchmas is imminent for the Birds as they try to sweep the two-game set with their interleague rivals. It’s Sept. 27, 2023, and I don’t know about you, but I think it’s a great day to clinch the AL East. The Orioles’ magic number is 2, which means if they beat the Nationals tonight — and get some help from the Red Sox against the Rays at Fenway — the Birds will officially be division champs for the first time since 2014. The O’s have got the right guy on the mound to fulfill their part of the deal. Grayson Rodriguez has a...

Mr. Oriole was One of a Kind
When I was a kid, the Orioles were always in the thick of a pennant race. You could set your watch to it. That’s just who they were from the mid 60’s through no less than 1983, the year they last won a World Series Title. Today, the team’s accomplishments during a span of 17 […] The post Mr. Oriole was One of a Kind appeared first on Eutaw Street Report.

Do the Orioles have postseason pitchers at Triple-A right now?
Gregory Fisher-USA TODAY Sports Will the Orioles turn to either Cole Irvin or Mike Baumann when assembling their bullpen for the postseason? The month of September brings highs and lows. The Orioles have inspired plenty of confidence when their starting pitchers deliver, but a jaded bullpen provided cause for concern during an extended stretch without a break. Baltimore’s clubhouse has done a tremendous job remaining steady and focused on the task at hand, but Mike Elias and the gang are already working hard to piecing together a postseason plan from the warehouse....

Hyde proceeding without defined bullpen roles
The Orioles haven’t clinched the American League East, and that’s the item on manager Brandon Hyde’s mind. That’s where his focus lies this week. The unfinished business before the playoffs begin.Has he thought about specific roles for players during the postseason?“No,” he said.Short and to the point.I’m sure that the club has considered various options regarding the roster, who might be added depending on health, how the rotation could line up. But Hyde, while trying to be accommodating to the media, doesn’t want to get too far ahead of himself.

Gray finishes strong, but Nats shut out by O's again (updated)
BALTIMORE – It shouldn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things. The results of tonight’s start weren’t going to define Josiah Gray’s season, in either direction. But it’s funny how a slight disparity in certain numbers can feel significant in the baseball world, and this was one of those cases.Gray entered his final outing of the year with an ERA of exactly 4.00. If he could hold the Orioles to two or fewer runs in five or more innings, he would lower that number. If not, he would raise it.So when the 25-year-old proceeded to allow just one run (a leadoff homer, at that) over...
