The 2025 Orioles are moving rapidly towards the point where it stops being painful to watch them because they have made us numb to the failure. It wasn’t supposed to be like this, but it is. They cannot pitch. They are not hitting. It has reached the point where, like last night’s game, you can think to yourself, “Well, at least they managed to tie the game up after falling behind” even though they went and blew it again later on.
A week ago, in a burst of optimism that the Orioles might be able to do something to pull themselves out of the muck, I asked folks how many games the team would win in the month of May.
