” Two days of playing the Yankees has made it feel as if the list of Orioles problems is proving insurmountable, that nothing is going to go right this year, that the theory of the case that Mike Elias had for this roster being able to compete was once again fatally flawed. Check out Alex Church’s recap of yesterday’s game for more of the not-so-lovely totals. Two games remain in the series.

This feels more like a threat than something to inspire hope of an in-series turnaround. For just one example of why it feels like a threat, the Orioles are facing left-handed starting pitcher Max Fried today. They remain winless in games started by lefty pitchers this season, a stretch of futility that’s gone on long enough to be alarming.

Their right-handed batters are, collectively, not hitting lefties. Also happening today, which will be news to you if you missed hearing about it yesterday, is the MLB debut of pitching prospect Trey Gibson. The team scratched him from starting for Norfolk on Saturday in case they wanted to use him today, and sure enough, it’s going to happen.
