The Orioles were a much better team in the month of May. This was evidenced, among other things, by a 14-16 record, one of their closest attempts at a winning month since they last did it in August 2017. You felt it in cute things like the home run chain and a lot of simulated Fortnite goggles when they got on base. Or in the slew of feel-good headlines that popped up all month (“‘Their time is coming’: Rivals taking notice of O’s,” “O’s [see] blue skies among some clouds” (this, a reference to literal weather), “These Orioles may be creating a ‘different vibe’ even if the losing isn’t stopping soon”).
