Things are not going well for the Orioles. They aren’t going terribly either. They are simply...going. Since June 13, the O’s are 31-33, and yet they are actually one game closer to first place in the AL East than they were at the beginning of these 2.5 mediocre months of play.
There is one, big legitimate excuse that explains why the Orioles have been so meh in that time. Injuries have piled up, especially on the pitching side of things. Kyle Bradish and John Means have been ruled out for the season in that time with elbow injuries, joining Tyler Wells on the extended IL.
