Is this the worst Orioles team in recent history?

After last night’s latest mind-numbing loss, a 9-0 shutout to Toronto on the heels of a 13-0 shutout against Houston before that, some fans are starting to ask if so muchlimp, unwatchable baseball indicates that the 2021 Orioles are flirting with all-time disastrousness. Technically, the franchise’s worst season of all time was 1939, when the St. Louis Browns skidded to a .279 winning percentage (with 43 wins and 111 losses). In modern history, the 2018 Orioles have that honor, with a .290 win percentage in Buck Showalter’s last year.

Badness is not just about the record, though.
