On May 18th, the Orioles designated Rio Ruiz for assignment.  Since that time, they've lost 13 in a row by a combined score of 90-46.

You definitely made me laugh!

Can someone please explain to me what the deal is with Ruiz.  Career minor league OPS of 746 doesn’t exactly scream big leagues to me.

I guess we could look at this a different way.  The O's are now 0-14 this year with Stevie Wilkerson on the roster.
