The Bat Around-June 7th, 2026

The Orioles went 3-3 on a road trip that took them to Boston and Toronto, which is really all you can ask for against division rivals on the road. Play .500 and then hold serve at home. Does it matter to you that 3-3 was the result of a road trip that began 3-1? Plus, another tough stretch of games with Seattle, San Diego, and the Dodgers begins Monday. What should we expect from an Orioles team that has been swinging and pitching well but experienced a few hiccups in Toronto? Paul and Zach discuss that and more on The Bat Around.

The Bat Around-May 31st, 2026

The Orioles are hot! They welcomed the Rays into town and exacted some sweep revenge, taking all 3 from their division rival, before splitting 4 games with Toronto. The starting pitching has been phenomenal, the bats have come to life, but the bullpen almost turned a 4 game split into a series lost while also keeping the team from a series win and a possible sweep. Still, the team went 5-2 for the week and has won 7 of 10 overall. Are you back on board? Paul and Zach discuss that and more on The Bat Around!

The Bat Around-May 24th, 2026

The Orioles looked like driftwood in Tampa Bay, but managed to come home and take 2 of 3 from Detroit (barring a late-inning comeback in game 3). What is it going to take to get fans believing in this team again? Plus, Holliday returns and makes his presence known, while Tyler O'Neill continues to prove he is the most useless player on the entire roster. Paul and Zach discuss that and more on The Bat Around!

The Orioles will hit 43 years without so much as a World Series appearance, let alone victory, come this October. And while only one team wins every year, we're reaching Cleveland Indians/Guardians, Seattle, pre-2004 Boston, pre-2016 Cubs territory here. Baltimore fans are loyal and die hard, and yet somehow have been cursed to watch a middling franchise for going on a half-decade. Frankly, watching this team has become a chore, despite the victory today. They win a series, then lose a series, and the cycle repeats. Frankly, it's gotten to the point where when they win, we say, "Who cares?" Is there hope on the horizon? Maybe. But something needs to change, and fast. Paul and Zach break it down on The Bat Around.

The Bat Around- May 10th, 2026

The Orioles salvaged the series finale in Oakland on Sunday after dropping the first two games, finishing the week 3-4 overall. Now they return to OPACY for a 3-game set against the Yankees, just one week after being swept in a 4-game series in New York. The players continue to preach patience and confidence, but sitting five games under .500 in mid-May, heading into another matchup with a division rival that has already looked clearly superior, is far from what the decision-makers in the Warehouse envisioned this offseason. Can the Orioles get back on track? Paul and Zach discuss that and more on The Bat Around.
