The other day I had a problem with my MLB.TV app, so I called up technical support. A friendly-sounding guy named Connor picked up, and asked me what my favorite team was. “Orioles,” I said. “Whoa,” said Connor.
Humph.
Well, at least Connor wasn’t wrong that for the last two weeks or so, the O’s have been downright unwatchable. The pitching has been an eyesore all year, but solid defense and a stronger-than-expected offense partly made up for it. Through April 18, the O’s had a not-too-terrible 8-12 record, and still held onto third place in the AL East.
