Everybody loves watching their team hit home runs. It’s fun, it gets the fans excited, and it puts immediate runs on the scoreboard. As O’s fans, we’ve gotten plenty of enjoyment out of that over the past several years. Since 2012, the Orioles offense has ranked 2nd, 1st, 1st, 3rd, 1st, 5th, and this season 12th in Major League Baseball in home runs hit. Three recent postseason appearances have come courtesy of the Birdland Power Company.
But this will change going forward as the personnel changes. In fact, we’ve seen the power outage begin last year and accelerate this year.
