What they're saying

"
Gunnar Henderson stood in the locker room, his pants covered in dirt, and struggled to explain another hitless day. Henderson was mostly talking about his personal hitting slump, but he could just as easily have been addressing the funk the Orioles have been in as a team for over two years now. Baltimore won the AL East in 2023, and on June 20 of the following year the Orioles were 24 games over .500 after scoring 17 runs in a game at Yankee Stadium.
