The 2018 Orioles season has only three games down and 159 still to play. It’s early and their 1-2 record at this moment means nothing at all. On a rational level, all fans know this, that panicking over a small sample size is not a reasonable thing to do, that the team should be better than this, that there needs to be a lot more bad baseball played by the O’s to really worry about them.
Being a fan of any sports team is not always about thinking the rational thing. Three games may be a small sample size, but also, in the 2018 season, it’s the only sample size.
