BALTIMORE -- The talk around the Orioles' clubhouse following Friday's deflating loss to the Angels revolved around the conviction that, despite a rough first 81 games of the season, the next 81 could very well go the opposite way.
"As tough or as bad as things have been for 81 games, they can be just as good the other way around," manager Buck Showalter said after Friday's 7-1 loss put the Orioles 35 games under .500. "You got 81 games that you struggle and now you can have 81 games that you go the other way. … There's some really good people in that locker room and I'd really like to see them get a return for what [they've put into it].
