Of course they can and anyone who says otherwise is suspect. That does not mean I think they have a great chance and should be considered one of the favorites. Conventional wisdom and history says pitching wins in the playoffs and that would put the Orioles as underdogs to a lot of the teams they may face. However, they have shown they can beat other team’s aces so it will really come down to whether or not they get and stay hot as a team. They should not expect to win many games where they only score a few runs. They will likely need to win several shootout type games in each series which will prove tough but certainly not impossible with this lineup. Would anyone really be that shocked if Adley, Henderson, Santander, Mountcastle, O’Hearn, and/ or Mullins got hot or had a series of big timely hits for a 3-4 week period of time? I wouldn’t. That means they can win it all.

Everyone is rested after yesterday but I see you’re point. If you’re up by 10 tonight or down by 10, you could have got a few final innings from him. Doesn’t bother me at all though. Everyone that can’t be counted on to help close out tough games needs to make room for someone who can.

Lamest collection of pitchers I’ve seen in a long time.

Nope but it has nothing to do with anything except baseball. I've been on strike for a few years now simply due to the way the franchise has been run and the sorry state they allowed the team to become. Things seem to be heading in a better direction so I have hope but they won't get a penny from me until Chris Davis is no longer on the team and some of these young guys they have drafted start to arrive and make it at least interesting to watch.

Never mind
