Good Lord. This poor team is just amazing. That was a DP if it doesn't pop out.

And tomorrow we've got Tillman....they've got King Felix.....and we have no bullpen left.....Tillman may have to take a double digit game for the team....

Orioles baseball, ladies and gentlemen!

Unfortunately, that's the painful truth. We are just going to have to become like Cub fans. We have to just find a way to love our lovable losers, because clearly, this team is full of losers.

For the MacPhail lovers, Lee MacPhail IV is the head of professional scouting. He's the guy involved in getting Atkins, Gonzalez, Lee, and Reynolds. He was fired from his previous job with the Orioles for being inept. He was then rehired by his uncle and put in charge of people who used to be ahead of him. Nepotism at it's best.

Orioles Freakin baseball..Catch the fever!!

      That would be pretty cool. Just do me a favor and please don't start the magic number thread in June next season.

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.
