- The Baltimore Orioles gave up a total of 868 earned runs all year. That means the Orioles opponent's averaged over 5 earned runs per game. That is pathetic. How are you supposed to win when your giving up that many runs? This Baltimore team is not built for slug fests, as you can see below...
- The O's average 4 runs per game total. That's including un-earned runs too. So, if the Orioles pitching allows 5 runs per game, and the Orioles average only 4 runs per game, then you can see that the Orioles are being outscored, which means more losses for Baltimore. Sad.
- Baltimore's team ERA: 5.17. That's second-worst in the Majors, with only the Tampa Bay Devil Rays having a higher team ERA. Ouch.
- The Orioles hit only 142 home runs last year, which ranks them 23rd out of 30 teams. Camden Yards is a hitter park, one where the Orioles should be blasting many more homers.
- Baltimore walked 696 batters, the most in baseball.
- Roughly 1/6 of those walks came from Daniel Cabrera. And he's supposed to be our "future ace." Riiiiiiiight.
I'll leave you with that. - John T.
