Good morning Birdland,
If you step back and honestly access the Orioles’ roster for what it is, we should not be too surprised by the current state of affairs. The starting pitcher options coming into the season were dire, and a decent April didn’t change that. It has all come crashing down in May.
It’s also possible that a better-than-expected 2020 season (that lasted just 60 games, by the way) may have lulled us, as a fanbase, into a false sense that the team was closer to mediocre than bad. That probably was never true.
At the same time, there are some pretty obvious ways that they team could improve and claw its way back to respectability before the end of the summer.
