Sometimes, baseball simply isn’t fair. The Orioles are already a bad team with so much going against them. A threadbare roster. A bottom-of-the-barrel payroll. A division full of talented behemoths.
And now even the weather is sabotaging their chances to win? Come on, baseball gods. Enough is enough.
Tonight’s loss, which dropped the Orioles to 2-6 on the season, could have gone a very different way. The O’s entered the fifth inning with a modest 2-0 lead after four scoreless innings from starter Tyler Wells. Bulk reliever Mike Baumann relieved Wells, ready to work two or maybe three innings to bridge the gap to the back of the bullpen.
