The plan is for this to take a while.
It’s by design that it will be a few seasons until the Orioles’ rebuilt core of talent arrives at the major league level. And until then, the O’s and their fans will have to make due with the spare parts and Four-A players that are available.
That excuses why the Orioles strike out a lot. And give up a lot of home runs a lot. And allow many runs each game while scoring very few for themselves. And lose games and series.
It doesn’t, however, excuse the mental mistakes that, lately, have been dogging this team.
