The Orioles morphed into a winning team when Rutschman arrived on May 21, 2022. Rutschmanâs fourth season has not been anything like the first three.
This team and this problem are on my mind when Iâm planting flowers with my family, at the playground, driving to work, grocery shopping, having a late-night beer or three, driving home from hockey, trying to enjoy my morning coffee.
Unfortunately for the Orioles, the pending returns of injured players are a meek balm for what are increasingly feeling like mortals wounds to this season.
Some things truly are hard to get over. And, based on the first three weeks of the season, this slow start might be harder to overcome off the field than on it.
The break-camp rosters, which feature all the full-season prospectsâ destinations to start the season, are out now and feature plenty of notable names from recent drafts.
