It’s been a strange first week and a half or so of the 2022 season. Orioles pitching has been largely better than advertised while the offense has been unbelievably terrible, dropping off at a pace way larger than the whole league’s offense has done.
This is definitely something afflicting other teams, as evidenced just this past weekend when the Orioles took two of three from the $245 million Yankees, holding them to six runs in three games, including the Easter Sunday shutout. The Yankees are OPSing .677 as a team and that’s still the sixth-best mark in the American League.
