The curse on Orioles right fielders and how to break it

Not to get all bent out of shape about a week's worth of spring training games or anything, but it now seems painfully clear that the Orioles right field position has been cursed. Not your dollar store spellbook curse, either. I'm talking dark, eldritch magic. The real stuff, like Spinal Tap's drummer or the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts.

When the events of the last several weeks are combined with the revolving door in the corner outfield last season, there can be no other explanation. Admittedly, left field last year was worse than right field overall.
