With just days remaining in the All-Star Game voting and their nearest Oriole to a fan-elected starting spot over 600,000 votes out of first place, next month’s midsummer classic might feel like the bad old days for the club.
Several of their prior All-Stars — there are nine on the roster who have made it in the past five years — are mostly either battling injuries or trying to find their form in what has been a down season, so the Orioles might be back to having just one representative.
The last time that happened was in 2011, when catcher Matt Wieters went for the first time.
