What a week of misery it was for the O’s. And their rankings in national media polls have suffered as a result, but maybe not as much as we thought they might.
MLB has revamped their presentation of the Power Rankings, and now only go to 20 places. The O's were ranked 12th in the Experts poll (75% weight) and 12th in the Fans' Poll, so they are 112h overall. That seems a bit high to me.
The Worldwide Leader moves the Orioles down two spots, as they get credit for the A's sweep before the trouncing by the Twins.
