Satirical Onion sendup sympathizes with prospect who's 'sent down' to the Orioles

The Orioles are getting their fair share of ribbing this year for their inability to play baseball competitively at the major league level.

The humor website The Onion took that sentiment to the comedic and logical extreme Wednesday, writing a satirical report that the Norfolk Tides — the Orioles’ Triple-A team — sent their third baseman “down” to Baltimore.

“Hoping to give the still-developing prospect more time to find his game, the Norfolk Tides announced Wednesday that third-baseman Anderson Feliz would be sent down to the Baltimore Orioles,” The Onion wrote.
