Friday Bird Droppings: Brandon Hyde’s seat may be feeling awfully warm

1 week ago | camdenchat.com | Paul Folkemer

Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Good morning, Camden Chatters. Let’s cut to the chase: these Orioles stink. There’s no getting around it. There’s no putting lipstick on this pig. They have been bad all season and are only getting worse by the day. Yesterday’s loss, which completed a three-game sweep by the previously struggling Twins, was one of the most embarrassing yet, with a teamwide offensive and bullpen failure ruining a great start by Dean Kremer.

Geoff Burke-Imagn Images Another day, another Orioles game. Yay? The Orioles will attempt to avoid suffering their second sweep of the season today. The last time they were in the same predicament, April 27 in Detroit, Dean Kremer failed to stave off the sweep in a 7-0 loss. Today it’s again Kremer who is being asked to play stopper, hopefully with a better result. The outlook isn’t great.
Tuesday Bird Droppings: Waiting for an Orioles hot streak

1 week ago | camdenchat.com | Paul Folkemer

Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images Good morning, Camden Chatters. I feel like I say it every week, with less conviction each time, but...maybe this is the week the Orioles finally start to turn things around? They actually seemed to be headed that way last week when they won three of the first four games on their homestand, but two pitiful losses to the Royals ruined those good vibes. The O’s are yet to have a winning week this season.
Orioles minor league recap 5/4: McDermott throws four scoreless in Norfolk rout

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 11, Charlotte Knights (CHW) 1Even with a lineup that didn’t feature top prospects Coby Mayo (who was promoted to Baltimore) and Samuel Basallo (who had the day off), the Tides’ offense exploded. Norfolk took a 5-0 lead after the first five batters of the game, thanks to a single, a catcher’s interference, a Vimael Machín RBI double, a walk, and a Luis Vázquez three-run homer.
Kremer dominates, O’Hearn burns former team with HR in 3-0 Orioles win

1 week ago | camdenchat.com | Paul Folkemer

Photo by Greg Fiume/Getty Images Dare I say it? New month, new Orioles. The O’s got their May schedule started on the right foot with an impressive 3-0 victory over the Royals in a crisp two-hour, three-minute affair. Dean Kremer shook off his season-long struggles with one of the most dominant outings of his career, tossing seven scoreless innings to lower his season ERA by more than 130 points.
Friday night Orioles game thread: vs. Royals, 7:05

1 week ago | camdenchat.com | Paul Folkemer

Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images The Orioles showed some signs of life in their series win over the Yankees. Now they’ll try to do the same against the hottest team in baseball. The Kansas City Royals come to town as winners of nine of their last 10 games, getting right back into the thick of the AL Central race after an 8-14 start to the season. Take note, Orioles: it is possible to win a bunch of games in a row to recover from a lousy start.
Friday Bird Droppings: Hoping for some forward momentum for the Orioles

2 weeks ago | camdenchat.com | Paul Folkemer

Photo by Greg Fiume/Getty Images Good morning, Camden Chatters. There are few teams in baseball who are happier to close the book on April than the Orioles. The season’s opening month was an unmitigated disaster, as the Birds — expecting to be contenders — finished with the second-worst record in the AL, better only than the lowly White Sox. We all know the problems.
