If nothing else, the chronically slumping Orioles remain exasperatingly predictable.
For the fourth time in a row on this West Coast road trip, they hung around until the middle innings and then let another game get away, this time in a 5-2 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Thursday night at T-Mobile Park.
Their ninth loss in a row wasn’t quite as galling as the two Oakland blowouts leading up to it, but the sad song still remains the same. The O’s just do not have the horses to keep up with the competition at this level and that eventually is revealed on a nightly basis.
