The Orioles have lost a lot of games this year and they are going to lose a lot more games before they are a good baseball team again. Some games it seems like the O’s are determined to explore every possible different way that a team might lose a game. Then there are the depressing, familiar losses like Tuesday night’s 9-4 setback at the hands of the Yankees, where all of this has happened before and all of this will happen again.
There are a lot of stories that explain why the 2019 Orioles are what they are, but in the end, none of them are bigger than this: They give up a hell of a lot of home runs.
