Buck Showalter fixed the Orioles before. A lot of fans still think he could now. I talked to Buck about the Os, and asked him about the prospect of managing again: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/oriol...

In 2023, a Mexican girl with a life-threatening medical condition was allowed to enter the U.S. on humanitarian grounds. The Trump administration has now ordered her and her parents to leave the country. Her says that if her treatment is interrupted, “this could be fatal within a matter of days.”

In his final team meeting as Orioles skipper, Brandon Hyde insinuated the league had begun to think his team was soft, a source told @afkostka.bsky.social‬.

The Orioles have their first winning streak of the season. Baltimore beats St. Louis, 5-2, to win a third straight game. Charlie Morton produced a quality start and Dylan Carlson hit a three-run homer

Tough deal for Baltimore hoop fans. Caitlin Clark is sitting out with injury for the next two weeks, meaning she won't be starring Wednesday night against the Mystics at CFG Arena: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/caitl...

Brutal for the fans who shelled out big bucks for Wednesday’s Fever game in Baltimore. Clark is out against the Mystics.

According to the MLB transaction log, the Orioles have designated left-hander Cionel Pérez for assignment

Brenda Frese and the Terps signed ESPN’s No. 7- and 11-ranked transfer portal targets in April, a process Frese herself calls “by far more intense” than even March Madness. A story of next-day flight bookings, note cramming and adaptation: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/colle...

The losing streak is over, but the Orioles have a long way to go to save their season. Making the postseason would require something no team since integration has ever done. by @danielleallentuck.bsky.social & I www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/oriol...

“Everybody wants to get paid, so if we’re going to pay people to do that, we gotta have a different program and different approach.” The Terps introduced new AD Jim Smith yesterday, the man they hope will show them the money: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/colle...

A nice job by Andy pulling out some of the details of Brandon Hyde trying to spur the Orioles to turn things around as questions mounted about his job security:

Hey #Baltimore! The Baltimore Banner is hosting a pop-up newsroom at Lexington Market on May 28th. Several reporters and editors will be there, myself included. Stop by to learn more about The Banner's local journalism and tell us about stories you think we should tell.

Jackson Holliday takes pride in batting leadoff for the Orioles. His results are proving he belongs.

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, son of the man who moved the team from Baltimore, dies at age 65

Nothing has come easily for the Orioles this season, so it came as no surprise that Tony Mansolino’s first win as interim manager would require a blown save and extra innings. But they did it: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/oriol...

Our subscribers are leaving their thoughts in our comments, and I’m responding to a few of them. Come join the discussion:

In the wake of firing Brandon Hyde, it’s clear that Mike Elias has taken some of the right lessons to heart. But it feels like he’s learned them far too late — a recurring theme in the past year as the Orioles have fallen behind: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/oriol...

Maryland's state government has a new cabinet-level department focused on social equity. But "equity" got stripped from its proposed name. Meet the Department of Social and Economic Mobility: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/politics-pow...

“I obviously believe in my ability, and my ability to be a good player,” Adley Rutschman said. “I hate seeing the numbers at where they are. But, you know, I’m working every day.” Talked with Rutschman about his start: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/oriol...

“Even though she’s got aches and pains, she still gets to look beautiful for one more day.” Once, they owned Pimlico. On Saturday, the De Francis family, friends and longtime employees grappled with saying goodbye to the track they’ve known so well. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/horse...

On the heels of Journalism’s remarkable run, Preakness heads toward a brave new world

There have been eight home runs hit today, but unfortunately for the Orioles, the Nats have five of them. It's a 9-4 game out at Camden Yards, and Baltimore's prospects of avoiding another series sweep are looking slim.

Now four home runs given up by Eflin, including two to C.J. Abrams, and the Orioles are (again) down 6-0 to the Nationals. If this isn't rock bottom already, have mercy.

First pitch at Camden Yards from Zach Eflin, the Orioles' most reliable starter this season. C.J. Abram takes it to the flag court. *sigh*

So proud of the @thebaltimorebanner.com photo crew yesterday, doing an amazing job covering the last Preakness at the old Pimlico! www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/lo...

Little League Day at Camden Yards goes pretty hard

With Brandon Hyde's firing, there's no buffer shielding Mike Elias from the heat for this disastrous start to 2025. The Orioles GM needs to start making decisions with urgency, because the next job on the line might just be his own: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/oriol...

Someone from Virginia wrote to The Washington Post to lecture Baltimoreans that our national anthem “O!” Is unpatriotic and disrespectful. I disagree. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/oriol...
