NESN's Dave O'Brien and Jerry Remy had the following conversation in the bottom of the sixth inning last night:
O'Brien: [Mark] Trumbo's talked about this awful year for Baltimore. He said the won-loss record is bad, but I think there's a lot of guys who are motivated to have a good second half and try and right the ship as best we can. He said some of the younger players are fighting to establish themselves and as a player, that's motivation in and of itself. Talking about players like Renato Nunez, the young infielder who's up.
Remy: Well, you know, the other side of that is, when you're losing as badly as the Orioles are losing, you got to make sure that the veterans carry on a positive culture in the clubhouse, because if you don't, these young guys that are coming to the big leagues, that gets ingrained in them.
