The Orioles may have ended the 1st half with a bang, sweeping the Rangers in Arlington in a 4 game series, but they got right back to their 2010 style this past Friday. Losing all 3 in the weekend series against the Blue Jays at Camden Yards, the Birds are regressing back to the ways of bad pitching and lack of hitting.

1 – Game under Trembley in which the O’s allowed 10+ runs (in 54 games)
