The Orioles couldn’t pitch and couldn’t hit. So what else is new?
The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the Balmer nine today.
Baseball, sadly, is something they’ve forgotten how to play.
Their pitching is a nightmare, their hitters are a mess.
And this year’s shaping up to be a giant waste, I guess.
Like so many times this year, the Orioles’ chance of winning
Was hopelessly destroyed by the end of the first inning.
Another woeful pitcher had another woeful outing.
This time it’s Dean Kremer who had O’s fans quickly pouting.
The first Nats batter doubled, and the next one hit a blast.
Two batters in, the Birds were going nowhere pretty fast.
The night went on and Washington just piled on the runs.
Kremer gave up six tonight when all was said and done.
The Nationals, a team that can barely hit this year
Were overjoyed to face the lousy Orioles pitchers here.
This paltry offense had 14 hits, 10 for extra bases,
O’s fans watched embarrassedly with palms over their faces.
It’s hard to say what’s worse today: O’s pitching or the bats.
Against a lefty starter they just stunk. Imagine that!
A truly awful offense had a truly awful game.
A guy named Mitchell Parker held them scoreless for eight frames.
A 7-0 blowout ended mercifully at last.
Only one team came to play; the other was outclassed.
What is there to say right now? How bad can these guys get?
It’s possible we haven’t seen the worst of this team yet.
