Good morning, Camden Chatters.
A week and a half ago, the Orioles played their most pivotal series in five years, a four-game set against the Blue Jays in which they entered 2.5 games back of a playoff spot. Alas, the series did not go the Orioles’ way, with Toronto taking three of four to widen the gap between the Blue Jays and the Birds.
Tonight, the Orioles get another crack at the Jays, though there’s not quite the same intensity this time around. For one thing, the Birds have no chance of finishing the series in playoff position even with a sweep, the way they would have if they’d swept that last series.
