Wednesday Bird Droppings: The Orioles are having a bad time in the Bronx Good morning Birdland,

The 2021 season is only a week old. It’s too soon to get excited or worried about anything in particular that has happened. We don’t have enough data to establish trends one way or another. But that doesn’t make the Orioles current performance against the Yankees any less disappointing.It’s been a pretty bad showing all-around from the O’s during their time in the Bronx. The offense has scored two total runs, both coming on one swing from Rio Ruiz. Although that was shrouded in good news since it seems that the Orioles are, in fact, allowed to hit home runs. Ruiz was the first member of the team to leave the park this season.That said, the pitching has not been good either. Both Jorge Lopez and Dean Kremer struggled with control and seemed to run out of gas sometime during their second time through the Yankees order. The Orioles won’t be expecting many of their starters to toss seven shutout innings like John Means did on Opening Day, but they will need them to cut down on walks and get through five innings with some regularity. Again, there are no trends yet. Kremer will be better in his next start. Hitters like Trey Mancini, Anthony Santander
