Hello, friends.
The Orioles made it official over the weekend that the rebuilding process will include at least back-to-back 100+ loss seasons. We might hope, perhaps a bit foolishly, that the success of the 2019 Bowie Baysox could lead to MLB-quality players bubbling up to the Orioles in the second half of next season in order to avoid another 100+ losses in 2020. Whether reality will be so kind is a question for next year.
For now, we are stuck with the 2019 O’s for another 13 games, including today’s series finale against the Tigers, which will determine whether the O’s have a winning record or a losing record against the team that’s currently worst in MLB.
