During the bad times, the team is 4-10, losing series, getting swept in series and struggling in nearly ever facet of the game.

Maybe the quick day game on Wednesday and the Thursday off day will help rejuvenate the team.
Look, I for one don’t think the Orioles are a bad team. I still believe that they are one of the best in the American League.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t significant flaws that need to be corrected for the team to get better. So, let’s talk about what the Baltimore Orioles need to do both as a team and as individuals to get back on track.
