Let’s say, hypothetically, that you’re a baseball team that has just spent six innings looking utterly hopeless at the plate, constantly getting yourself out early in the count and failing to put together any significant rallies. And then — like a gift from the baseball gods — the skies open up, play is halted for the night, and you get an unexpected one-day break from the action.
Ideally, you could use that extra time to reflect on your failures, make adjustments, and come out with an improved offensive approach when the game resumes the next day. Or...you could do what the Orioles did and change absolutely nothing, slog through three more innings of offensive misery, and meekly lose your second game in a row to a sub-.
