The postseason hopes of the 2023 Orioles are on the ropes after a disastrous second game of the division series against the Rangers in Baltimore. Grayson Rodriguez, who we were all counting on to keep looking like he had done in the second half, showed up pitching like he did in the first half of the season instead.
A lot of things happened after this and as you can imagine from an 11-8 final score, not all of it was bad for the Orioles. But the damage was done, and the way the Orioles had to react to that damage made things worse before they were able to start getting better.
