Just because the planned baseball season will only be 60 games long doesn’t mean the Orioles won’t still be the Orioles.
Even though a shortened season might allow for some unique things to happen, there’s little beyond blind hope that could allow the Orioles to turn a season in which they were expected to be in contention for the worst record in the league into a two-month playoff run.
The Orioles’ best 60-game stretch in 2019 was a 24-36 run from June 28 through Sept. 5, one of six such spans they had last season, though their minus-56 run differential in this one was best of the bunch.
