I covered 126 Orioles games in 2018. Most of them were less than memorable, and Lindbergh was right. There were many hours of boredom.

During this dreadful season, readers and Twitter followers often expressed their sympathies for having to put up with horrid baseball. I try to assure them that watching even bad baseball for a living isn’t so bad.

Millions of people in America perform dangerous, unpleasant, important or simply necessary jobs. Baseball writing isn’t any of those.

The Orioles lost 115 games, and for at least part of the season, they looked as if they could lose even more. In 1962, the expansion New York Mets lost 120 games, but they were comical. The Orioles weren’t very funny.

They were just bad.
