Hours before the Orioles wrapped up their two-game series against the Padres, GM Mike Elias offered some of his thoughts about the state of the MLB team right now. “The pitching’s barely making it through games,” he told O’s reporters, but as far as doing anything about it in the short-term, the O’s are “in a difficult spot in terms of roster depth and talent.”
Not coincidentally, the very next Orioles game that followed those remarks saw a starting pitcher, Dylan Bundy, who could not get any batters out in the fifth inning due to an elevated pitch count and ineffectiveness.
