Orioles can’t stop losing, even though they’ve often been competitive

If you’ve followed the Orioles at all, you know the staggering slide they’ve been on, and remain on. Baltimore lost to Minnesota yesterday, 3-2 in 10 innings, and is now at 14 straight losses. It’s the Orioles’ longest losing streak since the infamous 1988 season, when they started the season 0-21 and ended up losing 107 games.
Think about all the bad seasons we have seen since then. The collapse at the end of 2002. Fourteen straight seasons between 1998 and 2011 with a losing record. The 2-16 start in 2010. The 115-loss season in 2018, followed by the 108 losses in 2019.
