The Baltimore Orioles struggled mightily during their most recent 9-game road trip, posting a 1-8 record and getting outscored 65-25 in the process. The Orioles didn’t face the stiffest competition in Kansas City, Seattle and Tampa Bay, however we’re past thinking the Orioles will be at all competitive for the rest of 2018.
Everything the Orioles do from here on out should be focused on the future. We’ve seen the front office working with this mindset for some time now, but the dearth of elite-level talent in the organization makes it tough for casual fans to remain invested in the product this late in the season.
