The Orioles have played anemic ball this week, but try telling that to the bullpen. With a 4.20 ERA and a 4.05 FIP, 13th in the big leagues (note: if that doesn’t blow you away, recall last season’s MLB-worst mark of 5.79) the relief corps is doing their darnedest to carry the team.
The offense has dropped off the table in the last couple of weeks. The rotation has an ERA of 5.37 and the ninth-fewest innings pitched in all of baseball (a stat that looks way better than it is, considering that the Yankees, Cardinals, Braves, and Marlins have all missed a bunch of games).
