\"Baltimore<\/div>\n
\n

If Baltimore Orioles veteran right-hander Charlie Morton was already on thin ice heading into his latest start against the Cincinnati Reds, he’s fully underwater now.<\/p>\n

His struggles from the mound early in the 2025 MLB campaign have been a popular topic of discussion, and somehow, they keep getting worse.<\/p>\n

The Reds clobbered Morton and the Orioles, beating them 24-2 to wrap up a three-game series in Baltimore. Cincinnati scored three touchdowns (and kicked a field goal for good measure) to hand the O’s their biggest blowout loss in nearly two decades. Yeesh.<\/p>\n

Morton couldn’t even get through three innings before getting yanked, tallying as many outs as he did hits and seven earned runs — seven.<\/p>\n

It was the last reminder that the Orioles are asking too much of a 41-year-old hurler who’s contemplated retirement over the past several offseasons.<\/p>\n

And based on manager Brandon Hyde’s postgame comments, patience is running thin to the point that hanging up the cleats midseason doesn’t sound too bad.<\/p>\n

Brandon Hyde sounds off after Charlie Morton, Orioles’ 24-2 loss<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s embarrassing. It\u2019s not what you want to do on Easter Sunday in front of your home crowd,” Hyde stated (h\/t Jake Rill of MLB.com). “You want to compete.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Baltimore did quite the opposite of competing; they rolled over.<\/p>\n

The O’s rotation continues to plague them, namely Morton, who fell to 0-5 after getting rocked by the Reds. Hyde hasn’t shied away from voicing his frustrations about the club’s starting pitching (or lack thereof), with this seemingly being the last straw.<\/p>\n

Hyde understands the O’s need more and better production from their rotation, which ranks dead last in the Majors in WAR (-2.0).<\/p>\n

The group’s shortcomings have put immense pressure on Baltimore’s bullpen. That’s not a recipe for success, and the skipper knows it.<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re just not going to be able to win games that way,” Hyde said. “You\u2019re going to win them once in a while because you\u2019re going to outscore teams, but that\u2019s not how you win Major League Baseball games.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Sporting an egregious 10.89 ERA and leading the league in earned runs allowed (25), Morton’s done more harm than good for Baltimore this season.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, he was supposed to be their big free agency addition this past winter, hence Hyde’s palpable exasperation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
