Imagine an alternate universe where the 2022 Orioles had been just as bad as all the preseason pundits predicted. A chilling scenario in which the O’s never rattled off a 10-game winning streak, or three straight winning months, or shocked the baseball world with their spunky play and knack for drama and chaos. That woeful, imaginary version of the Orioles might have played a lot of games that, well, resembled tonight’s 13-9 defeat at the hands of the Red Sox.
What was the worst part of this game for you? Was it the inning where the Orioles gave up runs on, among other things, two bases-loaded walks and a bases-loaded hit by pitch?
