With one more game played, the Orioles will be almost exactly a quarter of the way into the 2025 season. Their 15-24 record up to this point has not been inspiring. Or perhaps I should say that it HAS been inspiring, but what it’s been inspiring is a lot of gloom about bumbling along towards an eventual sell-off, with uncomfortable questions about whether the position player core will even be able to rally and compete again next year.
Some things have gotten better lately. As my Camden Chat colleague Tyler Young noted yesterday, the Orioles rotation is starting to deliver at the level it needed to be able to do for the team to succeed this year.
