Reading Time: 2 minutes

After losing five straight, and with their backs against the wall in what looked like a sixth straight (of the “we were one out away from winning” variety) the Birds bounced back for Saturday and Sunday wins against Boston to right the ship. They won in astounding fashion on Sunday, scoring 18 runs on 20 hits. Here’s hoping the momentum that was sparked over the weekend against one color of Sox carries over to the next Sox that come into town tonight.

Steve Pearce Needs to Adjust

I’ve said it many times already this season – if Steve Pearce ends up being a platoon player in 2015, the Orioles are in big trouble. Now, if Jimmy Paredes keeps hitting like he is, then maybe losing Pearce’s production won’t hurt all that bad. Still, it would be nice to see Pearce work his way out of the funk he’s in. Camden Chat’s Ryan Pollack looks at Pearce’s numbers, and tries to figure out what the problem is.

It’s Time to #GetLough in Baltimore

With Pearce’s struggles, along with those of Alejandro De Aza, and Travis Snider being just OK, should the Birds turn more to Saturday night’s hero, David Lough? An interesting perspective from Dillon Atkinson of O’s Uncensored.
