Current State of the O's

The Orioles are currently sitting in last place in the A.L East with a 30-33 record. Yeah, it’s not what a Baltimore fan likes to see. I’ll take it though. Let’s look at the glass halfway full. At this point last year, the O’s were sitting 23.5 games out of first place. The pressure to fire Dave Trembley was mounting, and the O’s only had 17 wins. The birds are only three games under the 500 mark, and there are some encouraging signs that things will get better.
J.J Hardy has captured the attention of the black and orange faithful, and as well as my girlfriend (but for non-baseball reasons). He is hitting .301, and not only is that an average any manager would love, but it’s pretty darn good considering last year the O’s were stuck dealing with the weak offense provided by Cesar Izturis. Let’s hope we give Hardy that extension.
Now today, Mark Connor announced his resignation from his pitching coach job. He cites personal reasons, but people are already buzzing that it may be because he lacked player approval. Some also say that it is because of the fact that Brian Matusz is struggling and the O’s are trying to fix the problem. The Orioles welcomed Rick Adair aboard as the new pitching coach, and he is no stranger to the position. He has served seven years as pitching coach, and hopefully he can help stabilize our rotation. If that’s even possible. Better yet, maybe he can somehow save the Mike Gonzalez project. Now that’s impossible.
Right now, the O’s are locked in a 5-5 tie in the 8th against the Jays following Wieters’ homerun. Let’s see if the birds can walk away with the W. Maybe another Luke Scott bunt will seal the deal tonight. Three’s a charm…
