ORIOLES .) - 5

YANKEES O - 4

It was true on April 10th, when I started this thread ......

...... and it is still true, more than 4 months later:

ORIOLES .) - 5

YANKEES O - 3

And off-day is so much easier to stomach when the Orioles have/had WON their previous game.

The Orioles are making a habit of this (making off-days easier to stomach for their fans by winning the previous days' games.)

They are 10-0 on games just preceding off days dating back to June 1st, and are 14-3 on such days for the entire season.

Great stat -- I was wondering that, because it seems like we haven't had too many tough-to-stomach off days. Thanks offny!

I hate off days. We lost a half game today to the Yanks, I would rather play so we can increase our lead.

If you don't like off days because you miss the excitement of watching your favorite team play, I can relate to that.

But do you actually think that the Orioles would be better off with no off days?

The Orioles "lost" 1/2 a game to the Yankees today, but ultimately, all teams play 162 games, so it's not like they are having any kind of control over their destiny taken away from them.

(SEPTEMBER 11th)

Coming off of:

A) A 4-game winning streak overall.

B) A 3-game sweep of the Red Sox, at Fenway Park.

C) A double-digit lead in the division.

Yes ...... I will miss the Orioles tomorrow, but considering all of the circumstances, it really isn't that bad at all. :cool:

I'm hanging in there today.

I hope that everybody else is, as well. :)

    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
    • i think we all are going to have ptsd from that 9th inning for a while,it was that brutally bad . they need to do some special to get us to forget about it
    • wow,did gunnar and adley have to do this last season? 
    • I suggested that earlier but I think it's probably a bad play with no out. The O's have like 85% probability of scoring. There is a huge downside risk of Mullins popping up the bunt for a double play. He could also whiff on the bunt making at least Holliday an easy out. With one out and only 65% probability of scoring it's a much better play. I think if Santander and Mullins were reversed in the lineup Hyde may have done it but not when you have two shots to get the run in. 
    • WE GOT US ONE - JD5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Completely disagree about Orr. He will be fine. His defense has been better in its first few games compared to McDonald’s first few games.     And some of these big passing stats are over exaggerated. There have been mistakes for sure.
