Mother’s Day is here, and all the moms in Birdland deserve a heartfelt shout-out! However, it hasn’t been the best weekend for the Orioles, who recently lost 6-2 to the Athletics. Their offense struggled, only scoring in the eighth inning. If you want more details, check out Andrea SK’s recap for the full story.
I had the chance to attend the game at Camden Yards—my first since Opening Day. It was a tough scene when the Orioles loaded the bases in the fifth inning but couldn’t capitalize. Fans, usually pretty supportive, started booing in frustration.
It’s surprising to hear fans express their disappointment so openly. In the past, they’ve been known to cheer pitchers even after lackluster performances. Still, the booing felt warranted given the team’s current struggles. This season’s issues echo last year, where they ended with a disappointing record after a promising start. Mike Elias had called it a “liftoff,” but now the Orioles seem more like they’re going down in flames.
This season’s record of 17-23 isn’t pretty. If they win today, they’ll be three games ahead of last year’s 15-26 at this time. But if they lose, it might feel like déjà vu for frustrated fans.
As for today’s game, Chris Bassitt and Luis Severino are set to pitch. Fingers crossed for a strong performance!
