I understand that the Baltimore Orioles are the second-worst team in baseball (only the Tigers have a worse record) and that this rebuild they’re undertaking will last a considerable amount of time. But you’d have to think, after allowing Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres to embarrass you as an organization single-handedly, you’d stop pitching to him — you know, to save some face.
Aside from the eighth inning of Monday’s Game 2 doubleheader, when Torres was finally intentionally walked to load the bases, O’s pitchers continue to challenge the 22-year-old blossoming star, and he keeps on hitting balls out of the yard at a historic pace.
