After a week where at the big league level, the Orioles split two games on the road in Toronto and won two of three at home against the Rays, the optimists of Birdland are probably wondering whether (or convincing themselves entirely) the tide is turning for better fortunes. Those two teams in particular have obliterated the Orioles lately, with the Rays rather infamously going 18-1 against the O’s last year. Something different certainly happened in the last week.
If different, better things are going to happen for the rest of the season or beyond, it’s probably going to take some help from the Orioles prospects.
