A late series against a Red Sox team fighting for a playoff spot? That rings a bell. Can the Orioles influence Boston’s playoff chances 10 years after Robert Andino sent the Red Sox home early?
The Orioles find themselves in a very different battle than Boston with one week to play. Perhaps picking first in next year’s draft ranks ahead of knocking of the Sox, but there would be something sweet about sticking it to those guys again.
Andino and several other members of that 2011 team have said that the series marked a turning point for the organization.
