Everyone knew this season was going to be a struggle for the Orioles at the big league level. The squad has been gutted of talent over the last year, and the new front office regime came to town with a clear vision on how to build a perennial winner. That vision included fielding a woefully bad team in 2019.
Mission: accomplished.
Sunday’s 10-0 loss to the Cleveland Indians leaves the O’s with a 15-31 win-loss record, tied with the Kansas City Royals for the worst mark in the American League and ahead of only the Miami Marlins in all of Major League Baseball.
