The Orioles season ended far sooner than anyone expected. But for players, fans and the franchise, the future is still so bright.
fans as they quietly exited Camden Yards on Sunday after a discouraging loss to the Rangers was not one of anger, but of sadness. The fans of Baltimore -- a provincial town, a brick town, a neighborhood town -- had waited almost a decade to celebrate the return of October baseball after such a painful rebuild. Instead, 11 walks later, a giant orange mass of people walked into the darkness in stunned silence.
And they did: Two years after finishing 39 games out of fourth place, the second team ever to finish that far behind the next-worst team in a league or division, the Orioles swiftly revitalized baseball in Baltimore with swashbuckling style of play: young, hungry, athletic kids who pushed the action every night, on the bases, at the plate and on the mound.
Still, the Orioles looked young and rusty against the Rangers, nothing like the team that had a winning record every month of the season . The Orioles lost the opener, 4-3, with their best pitcher,, who had thrown 15 innings in the last 32 days. Orioles pitchers struck out 16, allowing the Rangers to become only the second team in postseason history to win a nine-inning game that they struck out 16 times. The Rangers were the first team in postseason history to have their No.
In Game 3, another five-run second inning for the Rangers blew it open, essentially ending a magical season. The Orioles became the fourth team in history to fail to win a playoff game in a season in which they won 100 games, joining the 1971 A's, '76 Phillies, '80 Yankees and the 2019 Twins.
