With a 2-1 loss to the Athletics on Sunday afternoon to complete a winless west coast trip, the Orioles provided another reminder that they are a bad baseball team. Of late, each game is its own unique reminder. Though there was a solid start from Alex Cobb, the O’s offense and defense combined to let him down and the Orioles lost yet again.
The Orioles are so bad right now that comparisons to the woeful 1988 Orioles are creeping in more and more. Their road struggles, now sitting at twelve losses in a row outside of Camden Yards, have earned them that dubious honor.
