Craig Albernaz Calls Out His Team's Mindset After Blowout Loss to Yankees
The Baltimore Orioles lost 11-3 to the New York Yankees on Sunday at Yankee Stadium, and it felt worse than the score looked.
Baltimore is now 15-19, four games under .500, and the losses keep coming in bunches against the teams they are supposed to be chasing in the American League East.
Albernaz Wants Answers
Craig Albernaz has been patient all season.
The first-year manager has gone out of his way not to call anybody out, even when the results have been bad.
Sunday was different.
"For me, it's at a crucial point where, 'What team do we want to be? We can fold up and just think that everything will turn around just by itself, or we've got to put the work in and really make this happen,'" Albernaz said postgame.
That quote means even more considering what happened after Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Yankees.
He blamed himself, said flat out that a roster this talented should not be three games below .500 and took the heat for it.
So to come back less than 24 hours later and start asking the team what they want to be?
That's Albernaz getting fed up. He went from shielding his players to asking them to step up.
A Rough Stretch Getting Worse
The Yankees outscored Baltimore 27-9 across the first three games of the series.
Sunday's game featured rookie Trey Gibson, who was called up from Triple-A Norfolk for his MLB debut, and he gave up three runs in 4 2/3 innings against a stacked lineup.
Aaron Judge launched his 13th homer, went deep for his 12th, and put it away with a two-run shot and an RBI single in a seven-run eighth.
