Forget what I wrote this morning. Maybe the Orioles aren’t, in fact, a good team just waiting to bust out. Maybe they’re just not good at all.
It would be hard to draw any other conclusion after their latest debacle of a ballgame, a gut-punch walkoff loss in Boston that featured another futile offensive performance, brutal defensive lapses, questionable managing, and a bullpen meltdown. It all added up to a gruesome 5-3 defeat that sealed a Red Sox series win and sent the O’s reeling into the off day.
If there was one thing to like about this game, it was the masterful performance by Dean Kremer.
