No one is allowed to feel good about the 2025 Orioles for more than two games at a time. All too often, this good feeling is limited to one single game at a time. So it was again on Saturday night against the Angels, with the O’s having a chance to follow up on a nice win the previous night and string together a little positive momentum. Instead, they turned in one of the sad and lifeless games that have become their signature this season, ultimately losing, 5-2.
The Earl Weaver aphorism is that momentum is the next day’s starting pitcher.
