74% Informative

The Orioles are 9 -14 and in the American League East cellar.

They've now lost five of six series, splitting two others.

The team that won 101 games two years ago and backed it up with another playoff berth last year is now lucky if it can win a three -game series.

It's largely the injuries ( Grayson Rodriguez will be fortunate to return by June , Zach Eflin perhaps next month ).

The Orioles were 36-19 at the end of May last year , and 35-21 two years ago .

The Orioles have no choice but to figure out another path, even if they have no map to guide them.

This generation of players leans heavily toward process-oriented, and controlling the controllables.
