The Orioles are in a bit of a pickle. They just gave up 27 runs in three games to the Red Sox. They now head to Texas to face a Rangers team that just put up 29 runs in their season-opening series while sweeping the defending NL champion Phillies. If the Boston pattern continues, things are really going to be miserable in Birdland in a few short days. The O’s, at least, have a chance to adjust the story they wrote over their first three games.
This is a Texas team for whom there were higher hopes last year.
