ORIOLES POSTCAST: Baltimore Orioles IMPLODE: Shane Baz Shoves, Bats Fail, Defense Falls Apart vs. Chicago White Sox, 8-2

Shane Baz gives a solid effort on a brutal night, and the Orioles still find a way to lose. Luke Slabaugh hosts the Orioles Postcast after Baltimore drops another frustrating one to the White Sox, this time an 8-2 defeat that had everything go wrong late. Baz set a career-high with 109 pitches, retired 11 of his last 12 batters, and gave the Orioles every chance to win. They didn’t take it. The offense stayed cold, finishing 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position, while Adley Rutschman gave Baltimore some early life with two sacrifice flies. But the late innings completely fell apart — Yennier Cano allowed four straight hits in the ninth, Chase Meidroth reached on a misplayed ball by Gunnar Henderson, and Blaze Alexander’s error at third helped turn the game into a blowout. This episode breaks down the full collapse: the wasted start, the bullpen meltdown, the defensive miscues, and the continued frustration of an offense that couldn’t deliver when it mattered most.
