Hello, friends.
Remember a couple of days ago when you had some tentative good feelings about the Orioles? I certainly did. That’s what I get for getting my hopes up even a tiny little bit. The sad offense continued on Saturday afternoon against the Tigers as the O’s dropped a second straight game to that last place team, with their plethora of hard-hit balls not amounting to much in a 3-0 loss. Check out Drew Bonifant’s recap of the game for some not-so-lovely totals.
The Orioles offense had started to make some progress in the early days of May, but the injuries suffered by Ryan Mountcastle and Austin Hays have robbed them of two of their better hitters to date this season and no one has yet stepped up.
