Extra! Extra! Read all about it! The 2019 Orioles, ladies and gentlemen, are not a good defensive team.
I know—the 2019 Orioles are not a good team, period. But at least they’ve had their moments in some aspects of the game, such as the occasional offensive eruption or a quality pitching effort (usually from John Means).
But the defense? Oh, the defense. On a team littered with problems, perhaps none has been more consistently awful than the defense. The O’s entered the night ranked last in the majors in Defensive Runs Saved (-88), which won’t come as a shock to anyone who’s watched them all year.
