Hello, friends.
It’s time to face the reality that the Orioles are going to be a losing team in 2017. This has been an uncomfortable thing that I have tried hard not to think about for a while now. It’s not fun for the Orioles to be losers. Of course, it hasn’t happened since the arrival of Dan Duquette prior to the 2012 season.
The memory of the 14 consecutive losing seasons is still fresh. No one could have known back in 1998 that the franchise was heading into a decade of darkness. The best way to avoid another 14 seasons of bad baseball is to not even have one.
