The modest, nebulous goal of the Orioles’ 2022 season is to show signs of improvement. Turn the future into the present with notable promotions, field a more competitive roster, and prove to the fanbase that the years of rebuilding are about to pay off. Although there are nearly five months remaining in the campaign, the team appears well on they way to doing just that.
This improvement is not evident in their win-loss record, a fact that a certain national writer likes to remind us of with regularity. Through 42 games, the team is 17-25, well outside of the playoff picture and in the cellar of the American League East.
