Watched the O's/ Rays game last night and I was very impressed with the O's. Based on their young roster and their strong farm system, I believe the O's will be the top dog(bird) in the AL East this season and for many seasons to come.
Yankems' Rizzo responding to a question regarding tonight's loss and their current struggles said this " not winning is part of the game." Hard to argue with that.
