The bell has tolled on the 2016 Orioles. They gave it a good run, all must admit, but what a maddening and frustrating wild card game it was. In the end, in the eleventh inning, with the Orioles never having used their elite closer Zach Britton, it was Ubaldo Jimenez who was summoned and who blew the game, one, two, three, kaboom. Season over.
It was a walkoff home run hit by Edwin Encarnacion and his damnable invisible parrot that did them in, and before that it was a bobbled ball in left field by Nolan Reimold, and before that it was Reimold pinch hitting and striking out on three pitches.
