Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Orioles fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Last year’s Orioles team never had a .500 or better record after being 3-3 through six games. For a little while in April, they might win a game to at least get within one below, or a couple in a row to get within two below, but they could never get back to an even record and before
long they were not even close to it.
The Orioles have played poorly enough over the first couple of weeks of the season to leave people wondering if they’re going to run back that disappointment, only with some different faces involved. Hopefully, they will not do this. Yet we all hoped they would not do it last year either and what did that get us? Nothing except for a July dismantling.
In this week’s survey, I am setting the bar low. It is depressing how low I have set the bar. The question is: Will the Orioles get back to .500 before April is over?

It’s possible that this question will be answered before the results of this survey are even posted. If the Orioles can sweep the White Sox, they’ll be .500 on Friday when I typically get the survey results. They should have a decent chance to do it, since Trevor Rogers and Kyle Bradish are starting the next two games and the White Sox offense is pretty bad. Of course, nothing is guaranteed. The Orioles offense is also pretty bad and the defense and bullpen are both highly questionable.
