Rob Long: Now Wait A Minute Orioles Fans
Yes, the Baltimore Orioles are on the brink of elimination but I don't like what I'm hearing from fans right now. From "This team is choking" to "Buck Showalter can get them close but not over the hump. He has a track record for that."
What?
Are we really going there right now?
This organization has shown over the past three years that they are committed to becoming a perennial championship contender. They've done most if not all of what needs to be done to build that. Now is not the time to go doom and gloom. They're losing to a team that's playing better baseball right now. It's not because they're choking. It's because they are being outplayed.
I don't like what's happening as much as any fan in the Charm City and I get sick on my stomach watching this unfold but I'm not going to start throwing people under the bus right now. This team won 96 games over a 162 game season. I don't know if anyone can beat the Kansas City Royals right now. Does that make me feel better? No, but it looks that way.
