2017 75-87
2018 47-115
2019 54-108
2020 25-35 covid season
2021 38-81 35 games out

How long before you give Adley Rutschman a chance
It's not like there has been any plan like when the Astros were tanking and than restocking through the draft
What's the plan to be something more than a minor league outfit.
McDonald must be bored calling Orioles games right now, I mean what do you talk about that's promising.

Didn’t the Orioles have the best record for the last decade or something like that?

Edit: From 2012-2017 they had the best record in baseball.
Orioles fans could have it much worse and they have the top prospect in baseball.

That’s exactly what they’re doing. Why would you start the clock on Rutschman with a team this bad and the rules the way they are?

We expected them to bad, but they're worse than we thought they would be.

As mentioned, they do have one of the best prospects in the minors and I think there talent pool in the minors is rated somewhere in the top 5.

Gonna have to suffer through a few more crap seasons but at least on paper they should be much improved in a few years.

They are still feeling the affects of the ridiculous Chris Davis contract. They aren't in a hurry to bring up Rutschman because Severino has been pretty solid behind the plate. There is some young talent in Mullins and Mountcastle, but their pitching prospects are meh.

I'm surprised Mancini has asked out of there yet.

Went to the game last night.

They’re pretty bad. And they’re getting smacked around again today.

It appears that’s exactly what they’re doing… Baltimore has Rutschman, Grayson Rodriguez, DL Hall, etc. all of whom are top 100 prospects. They’re attempting a complete rebuild.
