At the risk of infuriating every O’s fan and forever relinquishing any welcome I might still have in my hometown of 20 years, I need to bring the faithful down to earth: the Orioles are either the best worst team in baseball or the worst best team. Sadly, if we all collectively ask for the real Orioles to please stand up right now, that is this team’s identity. Case in point: two bad one-run losses to a really bad Toronto Blue Jays team. One would think that a primary charge of hitting and pitching coaches is to work on approach. From 620 miles down the coast, I have watched every pitch of every game thus far this season, proudly wearing my Baltimore Orioles shirts everywhere I go.
