The Orioles current crop of starting pitchers leaves a lot to be desired. Starters have failed to work deep into games, and are surrendering home runs at a record setting pace. The struggles on the mound have hardly come as a surprise, but the arms have failed to meet even realistic expectations thus far.
Alex Cobb has already made multiple trips to the Injured List, and has not had an opportunity to replicate his promising second half in 2018. Nate Karns has been hurt, Dylan Bundy is still giving up home runs at an alarming rate, and Dan Straily has been, well, Dan Straily.
