It’s simple. The Orioles, as currently constructed, are not a winning baseball team. Everyone knows that. They win some games, come close in others, and lose often. It can be difficult to watch, and even tougher to find enjoyment during seasons like this.
Some games look worse on paper than others. Matt Harvey against a stacked Toronto lineup is a difficult matchup. Baltimore verse Hyun Jin Ryu is another. Sometimes the Orioles manage to surprise everyone.
Tonight was not one of those nights.
Harvey allowed three runs in the first, three more in the fourth, and failed to complete four frames.
