Dennis Eckersley offered a funny but true comment about the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night.
Eckersley is a studio analyst for NESN, which is the TV home of the Boston Red Sox. He is friends with Orioles broadcaster Jim Palmer, and made a comment recognizing what a tough job Palmer has.
He’s not wrong pointing out how tough it must be announcing for the Orioles.
Not only did Baltimore get trounced 13-2 by the Red Sox on Friday night, but they have finished last in the AL East the past three seasons. Their 47-115 record in 2018 was the worst in MLB, and their 54-108 record last season was the second-worst in MLB. It’s not easy to maintain enthusiasm about a team losing that much.
