Hello, friends.
Another day has gone by with little sign of life from the Orioles offense. For the fourth time in their last five games, the O’s were held to two runs or fewer. It’s a tough way to win games, and indeed, the Orioles are not. They dropped a 7-2 game to the Athletics on Saturday night, the 13th straight victory by Oakland. Check out Tyler Young’s recap of the game for the not-so-lovely totals.
Even a decent set of results by the offense would have probably ended up with a loss. The other aspect of Saturday’s game is that it was planned as a bullpen game and that had some, uh, expected hiccups.
