It’s been a long summer for the Orioles and their fans. The team has been terrible since April, they have traded away nearly all of their recognizable faces and there is a ton of uncertainty in their future. One month remains in this nightmare season, and yet it has the chance to be the most interesting stretch of the entire year.
September is different than every other month on the MLB calendar. Half the teams are doing everything they can to put the best team on the field in search of a playoff spot. The other half have basically thrown in the towel and pivoted to planning for next season.
