As we enter the heart of summer and family vacations and countless other enjoyable summer activities fill the calendar, it’s likely to become much harder to sit for three hours on a perfect summer evening and watch the Baltimore Orioles lose yet another baseball game. Despite stretches of unwatchable baseball and the league’s worst record, there are storylines to keep your attention through September as the second half of the 2019 season kicks off tonight in Birdland.
The Orioles open up with a weekend series against the Tampa Bays, putting their 27-62 record against a Tampa Bay team who currently holds the top Wild Card spot in the American League, thanks to their 52-39 first-half performance.
