We take a look at the state of the Orioles, at about the midway point of their grueling stretch of May games. The Orioles have been holding their own against really excellent opponents. Regardless of how the month goes, there is a lot to be hopeful about for the remainder of the season. If they do well, then it’s time to start clearing your calendar in October.Second Base: Are we scared of the Yankees, yet?Reports of the demise of the New York Yankees appear to have been premature. The AL East is simply absurd right now, but the Yankees are rising to be an important part of that discussion. In truth, it doesn’t matter what the Yankees do, as long as the Orioles continue to play good baseball in their push to return to the playoffs, but even at 12-13 games (instead of 19) the Yankees can ruin a good time. Third Base: RosterbationGiven a relatively healthy roster, the changes that have come have been because the Orioles are using their 40-man roster to try to win ballgames right. now. This is certainly exciting, but it is also new territory for a fanbase who has watched prospects rise (and one that was so used to putting its hopes in “prospects” and watching them… not rise).
