Jon Meoli: What we learned about the Oriolesā bullpen this week in New York
Of all aspects of the team, the bullpen is the one that will enter the postseason with the most questions.
Jon Meoli: For the Orioles, clinching playoff baseball was a āstepping stoneā worth celebrating
The Orioles are reinforced, and it shows. They are in the playoffs, and they celebrated accordingly. Win a couple more games and they can ensure a home playoff series next week. Play as well as they can, and theyāll probably play well beyond that.
Inside the Dugout: I want an Orioles-Yankees rivalry
Plus, Samuel Basallo ranked No. 1 and Jordan Westburgās true impact.
Jon Meoli: The Orioles should have clinched by now. Returns for Westburg and UrĆas are fine consolation.
The Orioles lost Sunday, yes, but look at the lineup they started this home stand with Tuesday. This version has a much better chance of playoff success.
Jon Meoli: If this is Anthony Santanderās final home stand, his Orioles career deserves praise
The former Rule 5 draft pick has turned into a man of big moments for the Orioles.
Jon Meoli: What Mike Eliasā comments on the slumping Orioles mean going forward
āSo weāre aware of the fact that weāre in a slump as a team right now, as an organization, all of us, and weāre working on that, but we donāt want to lose sight of where we are and how we got here,ā Elias said.
Inside the Dugout: A year later, the Oās are not as fun. They deserve admiration anyway.
In a way it never has before, it feels like the losing ā at-bats and games ā is living with these Orioles.
Jon Meoli: Gunnar Henderson is proving to be a cut above as the Oriolesā offense sputters
Henderson has come through in a big way in September.
Inside the Dugout: Are the Oās cooked? I decided to argue with myself about it.
Plus: Finally, some sense around the Camden Yards renovation.
Jon Meoli: As the Orioles search for an offensive fix, hereās one to avoid
This team is running a real risk of going into the playoffs playing 100 gamesā worth of .500 baseball.
Jon Meoli: The Oriolesā depth from unlikely sources is helping them stay afloat
Without these players, this season might look a lot different.
Inside the Dugout: Quantifying the pain of this Orioles season
Plus, whatās next for Trevor Rogers.
Jon Meoli: Amid stop-start summer, the Orioles are trusting their process. As they should.
Every point of evidence suggests the Orioles are not going to change how they approach and try to win each game. The processes theyāre sticking to now were honed long before the team had such high expectations, and are what in many ways helped them earn those expectations.
Jon Meoli: How Jackson Holliday achieved āimpossibleā strength gains in the minors before returning to the Orioles
Holliday added strength and speed that have helped make this round with the Orioles much more productive.
Inside the Dugout: Why this Orioles team breaks my brain
Plus, what Coby Mayo learned and lamenting a lost friend.
Jon Meoli: Adley Rutschman needed Sundayās home run. Now the Orioles need more of that from him.
If the Orioles have any hope of maintaining their advantaged status in the race for the American League playoffs, they will need Rutschman to return to himself.
Arms on the Farm: The rapid development of Orioles pitching prospect Michael Forret
Michael Forret, a 14th-round pick last summer, has seen his velocity increase as a member of the Orioles organization.
Jon Meoli: Orioles prospect Samuel Basallo is on a hot streak. Reining in a unique trait helped.
To overcome the first true struggles on a baseball field heās ever had, Basallo had to suppress one of his uncommon talents: his recall of how heās pitched.
Inside the Dugout: Could the qualifying offer keep Anthony Santander around?
Plus, Craig Kimbrelās inconsistency, a new arm on the farm, and more.
