Didn't they have a stretch pre-pandemic in which their pitching stayed ridiculously healthy for an extended period of time? I think it's just the whims of fate.

It's incredible hard to understand, because it's the same thing. A projection system failing to correctly predict something. It's the same failing. You can go ahead and act like I bothered to finish the template.

I think I may have figured it out. The Fangraphs team sabotages the O's in their projections because they are funding their website from betting on the O's. It makes perfect sense. They lowball the O's chances and get to make money betting on a team they are secretly rooting for. It explains everything!

It couldn't be that projections tend to group everyone towards the middle and badly miss outliers at both ends on the curve.

Let me get this straight in my head. If their projection system overestimates the O's performance no one should care but if it underestimates their performance it shows a bias against the O's and we, as fans, should feel disrespected on behalf of the organization or we aren't real fans. Yea, that still makes zero sense to me.

On the bright side that won't impact the regular season streak!

And 2018? Were they biased in favor of the O's?

From September

Yes, because it isn't personal.

Sure. So why are folks so hung up on them not liking the Orioles?

Looks like it's going to be all sweeps. Kinda sucks we have no baseball tomorrow.

Evidently once you learn how to do it, it's a pretty simple operation in most cases.

They can avoid that by making good choices. The smart thing to do would be to spend the money to extend their young players. I don't want to see a team throw out a crap product for fans knowing that the money saved by gutting payroll turns them a nice profit even if literally no one goes to a game. I'd rather even a player like Odor gets a check over the owner just pocketing another 20M. I do respect that some folks are in favor of the owners increasing their profits, even if I don't understand it.

Guys have come back from one TJ still being able to throw 100. Not everyone certainly but we have seen it.

For anyone that hasn't seen it. Full count, runners on second and third, Bichette at the plate.

He earned it. Wonder how the conversation with Dad is going to go?

I want the best starters pitching as often as possible.

I think the term in Canadian is hoser. They seem to be a low baseball IQ bunch.

I'm still laughing about Vlad. I read that pickoff dropped their WP by 11%.

But he's a vet, he's earned it.

Sure, it rarely works. Let 'em spend.

I just don't get the owners spending money = bad mentality. It beats owners cosplaying Scrooge McDuck.

Pretty clearly everyone in the O's top 10 should be a rookie of the year contender.

Funny how that works, they weren't hot a week ago.

I love how incredibly inaccurate the tag line is. Also:
