It pretty much has to, right?
Lots of things didn't go quite right as the Orioles lumbered to a 3-4 start to the 2015 season. A lot of them were things that were known to start the year -- the starters didn't go deep in ballgames, the offense was feast-or-famine with the long ball. But one of them was more unexpected -- the bullpen struggled, giving up at least one run in each of the seven games. Considering that the team mostly has the same guys who have locked things down the last few years, and considering that the payroll is devoted heavily (as a percentage) to those guys, these are not the struggles that fans expected.
