Saturday Bird Droppings: The Orioles are playing fun, weird baseball

Good morning, Birdland!

This Orioles team is an amoeba. On paper, they should be bad, very bad. And there are days that they confirm this, by losing four straight games to a roster that is a combination of minor leaguers, random free agents, and a handful of guys that spent the last week lounging in a Philadelphia hotel. But then show that they are also capable of sweeping a good team, like the Rays, or blowing out the defending World Series champion Nationals 11-0. It just makes no sense.

But really, that is the magic of baseball.
