After getting completely demolished by the Nationals and Yankees over the past four games, there’s been a lot of ink today on how the O’s could “right the ship” against the last place White Sox.
The ship has not been righted. It has been sailed into a bay full of wildfire, ignited by a flaming arrow from the bow of Wade Miley, and blown into smithereens. The Blackwater’s on fire. There is no escape.
This game was just so, so, awful. The pitching was atrocious. The defense was poor. The offense was mediocre and missed opportunity after opportunity to score against a struggling starter.
