With two straight series wins against teams that aren’t good followed by an off day and a rainout, there has been a week in which we have not been reminded continually that the Orioles are also not good. On Wednesday afternoon, facing a good Phillies team, the O’s lost 4-1 and in the process reminded us once again that, oh yeah, they are not a good baseball team.
This was not an embarrassing blowout. In the worst of times this year, they played their share of those. It was just a game where they weren’t good enough.
