Morning, Birdland!
Of course the Orioles lost on Tuesday night, and of course they lost in the way that they did. Jeremy Hellickson, who looked downright atrocious during his time in Baltimore last year, out-pitched Dylan Bundy. And former fan favorite Mark Reynolds hit another dong after being pick up off of the scrap heap. Meanwhile, Chris Davis had another stellar night at the plate (0-for-4, 2 SO). Paul’s got the not-so-lovely totals for you in the recap.
Lineup construction probably isn’t at the top of the Orioles list of problems, but what exactly is the thinking behind that starting IX Buck Showalter trotted out?
