The Orioles are 9-14 and in the American League East cellar.
They've now lost five of six series, splitting two others.
The team that won 101 games two years ago and backed it up with another playoff berth last year is now lucky if it can win a three-game series.
It's largely the injuries (Grayson Rodriguez will be fortunate to return by June, Zach Eflin perhaps next month).
The Orioles were 36-19 at the end of May last year, and 35-21 two years ago.
The Orioles have no choice but to figure out another path, even if they have no map to guide them.
This generation of players leans heavily toward process-oriented, and controlling the controllables.

The Raiders need a wide receiver so let's put the WR in this yar's NFL Draft into tiers.
The 2025 NFL Draft finally kicks off tomorrow in Green Bay.
Here are my finalized 2025 Wide Receiver Prospect Rankings and Tiers for the Raiders.
The rankings are just my personal rankings based on the film that I was able to watch.
Potential as a possession X-receiver, but low ceiling. - Nick Nash, San Jose State - Great jump ball receiver, but needs mismatches to beat man coverage. - Jaylin Lane, Virginia Tech - Awesome with the ball in space. Ball skills and route running are both works in progress. Probably just a gadget player. - D’onte Thornton, Tennessee - Speed to burn and great effort as a blocker. Route running is starting from square one, and has flaws at the catch point..

Lucas Giolito is expected to make a final rehab appearance at Triple-A Worcester on Friday.
The veteran righty missed all of 2024 after undergoing internal brace surgery on his elbow during spring training.
He also had a hamstring strain delay the start of his 2025 campaign.
The Red Sox signed him for $38.5 million over two years.
Giolito's build-up in minor league games has been slow and at times, difficult.
He owns a 4.97 ERA in 12 innings over four innings, a number attributed to rust and his desire to work on certain things rather than blatant ineffectiveness.
His contract included a complicated conditional option for 2026 which gave the team some protection if he dealt with an injury.
If he pitches fewer than 140 innings this year, the Red Sox will hold an affordable $14 million club option over him.

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine created lab-grown immune cells that can track down toxic brain buildup and clear it away, restoring memory and brain function in mice.
They did this by turning stem cells — which can become any cell in the body — into brain immune cells called microglia.
The edited cells were able to clear the junk without harming healthy tissue.
The treatment could mark the start of a whole new approach to neurodegenerative disease — with potential applications for brain cancer, multiple sclerosis, and more.

The Independent British Vape Trade Association insists the majority of vape shops operate within the law.
From 1 June, it will be illegal for businesses in the UK to sell, supply or possess single-use vapes for sale.
Those caught doing so will get a 200 on-the-spot fine in the first instance, rising to an unlimited fine and/or a prison sentence of up to two years for repeat offences.
