Hello, friends.
Last night was another game where it was best if you did not stay up past your bed time to watch the Orioles. The loss to the Padres was hardly the most lopsided defeat that the O’s have suffered this year, but it was up there with frustrating, dumb losses.
Perhaps nothing better represents that game than reliever Cionel Pérez entering with Fernando Tatis Jr. on first, picking off Tatis but making a horrible throw that went to the fence, allowing Tatis to steal second and take third on the error. Then, Pérez didn’t bother paying attention to Tatis on third base, and Tatis stole home plate without even drawing a toss home.
