Brewers were 10-13 in May before the O's came to town. They weren't rolling by any means. O's aren't playing well, either, but it's not like they ran into a buzzsaw. Don't be an over-the-top apologist.

Brewers are 10-13, they've lost 3 series this month. Dbacks (which is not the greatest), Cubs, and Braves. 4 of those loses were against the Braves and Marlins before the O's came into town. Not the easiest teams to beat in NL right now. So yeah.. it's context. Running into the NL games is a buzz saw. Lose your DH, have to waste hitters to PH for the pitcher and ****ty umps.

And yet playing poorly, lately. And you're saying this like it excuses the Orioles for POOR play. (It doesn't.)

Who did they play.. That's the difference. Before the O's came into town they had the Braves and Marlins. That's 4 of their loses this month.

Our regular DH has been playing out in left (and absolutely raking) during our NL-park games. So don't try to sell me on the idea that "losing" that spot in the lineup is hurting this team. The remainder of our LF/DH platoon has been borderline non-existent this season.

Want context? The Brewers have been playing losing baseball in May. The Orioles rolled into town and looked like crap. If not for a minor miracle, they'd have lost all three games. Last night, Yovani Gallardo drove in the winning run.

The Orioles are playing awful baseball right now. There are no excuses.
