A long rehab assignment I hope, just what we don't need is to add another high K, low OBP hitter to this lineup.

We could minimize the damage by just having him platoon with Davis, both in the lineup at the same time is going to be brutal

"Inconsistent" is better than flat-out awful.

If the 2018 Orioles can go from being bad to being average to being good by season's end (like the fictional 1989 Cleveland Indians did in the movie), I will be thrilled.

11 games into the season and the Orioles are 4-7 with a -23 Run Differential based on 38 Runs Scored and 61 Runs Against.  Worst in the AL.

It was nice to see the Orioles score 5 runs without the benefit of a homer.   That’s something they only did 7 times last year.

(vs. RED SOX, 4/15)

 

Although they jumped on Chris Sale for a run in the 1st inning and forced him out of the game after only 5 innings (93 pitches), the offense only manged to get 6 baserunners and 1 run overall.
