The Orioles of late have been playing good baseball. They’re winning more often than they’re losing, they show some fight even in the losses, and the general feeling around the team is good. But even teams who are competent, or approaching competence, will have days like today. Days when the hitters don’t hit, one bad inning of pitching sinks the boat, and the game outcome feels settled very early on.
Austin Voth started today’s game for the Orioles in front of many friends and family members. Voth grew up in the area, and probably hoped for a better performance in front of his home town crowd.
