The Orioles just completed one of their most disastrous weeks in recent memory.

The wheels have fallen off their season after getting swept by the Minnesota Twins and Washington Nationals at Camden Yards. Baltimore is now 15-30 for one of the worst starts to a season in franchise history.

Here’s the Orioles reset:

What wasn’t good? Three weeks ago, after the Orioles were swept in Detroit, the reset skipped over the “What was good?” section. There was nothing to praise from that week, especially from a team with championship expectations playing like a cellar-dweller.

Once again, after a calamitous week that culminated in the firing of manager Brandon Hyde, it’s not the time to highlight anything positive.

So what wasn’t good? Well … everything.

The Orioles are so bad — their players are playing so poorly — that the pragmatic leaders of the organization deemed the only path forward was to make a drastic move. To help revive a season that’s already showing signs of rigor mortis, they fired a manager who (by all accounts) was still popular among his players — a skipper who was coming off three straight seasons in which his teams won more regular-season games than projected.

The consensus after Friday’s soul-crushing loss was that a change needed to be made. This start to the season was not acceptable, and a shock to the system was required.

A change was made, but the way the Orioles played after didn’t.

What didn’t happen? Orioles players were told that Hyde had been fired about four hours before their game Saturday. The news was shocking for most players. As they physically and mentally prepared for the game, several players spoke with the media, answering difficult questions about Hyde and the state of the club.

A few, including Adley Rutschman and Cedric Mullins, were holding back their emotions as they talked about their time with Hyde.

Over the weekend, about half of the players in Baltimore’s clubhouse answered questions, including Zach Eflin, Charlie Morton, Cade Povich, Kyle Gibson, Tomoyuki Sugano, Rutschman, Ryan O’Hearn, Jackson Holliday, Ramón Urías, Gunnar Henderson, Mullins, Ramón Laureano, Colton Cowser and others.

However, the two men whose decision it was to fire Hyde — general manager Mike Elias and owner David Rubenstein — have yet to make themselves available for questions.

“We will provide an update regarding media availability with Mike Elias when we have one,” an Orioles spokesperson said, while Rubenstein’s spokesperson did not respond to a request to interview the billionaire owner.

Elias and Rubenstein both provided statements in the team’s news release about Hyde’s departure.

“As the head of baseball operations, the poor start to our season is ultimately my responsibility,” Elias said. “Part of that responsibility is pursuing difficult changes in order to set a different course for the future.”

“As is sometimes the case in baseball,” Rubenstein said, “change becomes necessary, and we believe this is one of those moments.”

Amid the whirlwind of a weekend, interim manager Tony Mansolino was asked frequently about his new job and the flailing club he’s now leading. On Sunday morning, he was asked why Elias picked him to replace Hyde.

“That’s probably a better question for Mike,” Mansolino said to begin his answer.

Indeed it is.

What’s next? A much-needed change of scenery.

Camden Yards is one of baseball’s crown jewels, and the ballpark this weekend was as busy as any series all year. But the Orioles are lost in a black hole, and continuing to play at home with an angsty crowd and the memories of a forgettable weekend could’ve only worsened this spiral.

Baltimore opens a three-game series against the Brewers in Milwaukee on Monday before heading to Boston for a four-game set versus the Red Sox beginning Thursday. It might be the final opportunity for the Orioles to get their season back on track.

“We love playing here. We love being home in Baltimore. This is a great yard. We love playing for our fans, who are passionate,” Mansolino said after Sunday’s loss. “But I do think any time you go on the road, the group shrinks and tightens. So, whether you’ve won 10 in a row at home or not, we all do like going on the road and kind of tightening up the environment.”

On the farm: Perhaps fans will see more prospects this year than otherwise assumed.

If the Orioles can’t get back on track, that could very well lead to players being sold at the deadline and the organization taking an extended look at some of its best players in Triple-A.

Samuel Basallo, the best catching prospect in baseball, clobbered three homers last week to raise his season average to .241 and OPS to .872.

Dylan Beavers, who Baseball America ranks as the Orioles’ No. 6 prospect, went 8-for-17 last week to improve his season slash line to an impressive .303/.397/.421 — good for an .818 OPS.

Coby Mayo, the Orioles’ No. 2 prospect, has a .796 OPS in the minors this season and is still awaiting his first extended look in the show.

Right-hander Brandon Young is on the IL and has already started two games for Baltimore this season. Right-hander Chayce McDermott, the Orioles’ top pitching prospect, has one MLB start under his belt this season and could receive another Tuesday in Milwaukee.

He was added to the team’s taxi squad on Monday.

Extra innings

Suddenly, a new manager was sitting in the chair occupied by Hyde since 2019. Who Mansolino is — not his biographical information, but who he is and who he’ll be as manager — remains to be seen. But here are a few nuggets that came to the surface over the weekend:

Last year, bench coach Fredi González gained appreciation from fans for his role in the benches-clearing fracas against the New York Yankees in July (the one after Heston Kjerstad was plunked in the head). Mansolino was also in the thick of it, making it farther into the New York side of the kerfuffle than almost anyone else, even at one point giving a Yankees player a shove.

Multiple times over the past few years, Mansolino has gone into the Orioles’ clubhouse pregame to urge a player to do extra infield work. “Hey, it’s been a while, let’s go,” Mansolino once told an infielder. Orioles players said Mansolino is popular in the clubhouse as someone who is serious about winning and working hard. “He’s smart, cares about the guys, obviously,” O’Hearn said. “He’s got great energy, and we’re gonna get after it every day.”

Long before games, Mansolino is sometimes in the outfield doing baseball drills with his sons — Jackson, 10, and Maddox, 7. Sometimes the boys chase after fly balls during batting practice. The 42-year-old Mansolino grew up in a baseball household with a father, Doug, who was a professional coach, and now his kids are experiencing the same.
