You know the old expression: In a baseball season, you’ll win 50 games, you’ll lose 100 games, and it’s the 12 games in the middle that make all the difference.
That ‘s not how it goes, but at this point, that would be an improvement, for your Baltimore Orioles. At 17-39, the Orioles are on pace for a 49-113 season. If that sounds absurd, I would only point out that we expected the team to hit rock bottom long ago, and at each opportunity, they have failed to do so. So I say “why not?” Why can’t this be one of the worst teams in baseball history?
