It’s Wednesday, January 24, 2017. Fan Fest is three days away. Pitchers and catchers report in 20 days. Opening Day at Camden Yards is in 64 days. In the spirit of these numbers, here’s a look back at a handful of good, bad, surprising, not so surprising and telling statistics before the 2017 O’s season is fully in the rear-view mirror.
The Orioles high water mark came on May 9, 2017 at 22-10. At that point fans were optimistic, but the positive vibes wouldn’t last long.
A seven-game losing streak from May 21-May 28 dropped their record to 25-23 and it was very middling from there through the summer.
