We’ve just wrapped up the second full week of play for most of the Orioles’ affiliates — and the third for Norfolk — and it’s shaping up to be another fun year on the O’s farm. Let’s jump right into the action from the past week in the Birds’ minors.
Triple-A Norfolk Tides
- Past week: 2-4 at Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins)
- Coming week: vs. Gwinnett Stripers (9-11, Braves)
- Season record: 9-12, eighth place (4.5 GB) in International League East
It seems like a distant memory that the Tides were such darlings of the minors that prominent writers were legitimately wondering whether they could beat some major league teams.
