After dropping yet another road series in Boston over the weekend, culminating with their fourth shutout loss of the season yesterday, the Orioles are now 14-32 and 17.5 games out of first place.
The only good thing about hitting rock bottom is that the only direction to go from there is up. There are two problems with that scenario for the Orioles: they may not yet have fallen as far as they could and the path out from their sunken place is cluttered with obstacles.
It’s depressing to think about what else could go wrong, but lots could.
