6-6-1 after losing 2 out of 3 to the Marlins.

7-6-1 after taking 2 out of 3 from the Astros.

How about we sweep the White Sox today, win another series, and get back to .500, all in one afternoon? Is that too much for me to ask for?

Let's Go O's!!!!

Tuned into the game late and then napped after 5 innings. I resumed on MLB-TV  and am just now in the 8th. I noticed when Harper hit that triple in the 8th, with his hemet off and with that head

8-7-1 after losing 2 out of 3 games to the D-Rays.

Not sweeping anybody while getting swept twice (once of which was a 2-game miniseries with the Mets) will make your overall record worse than your series record.

Hence the 8-7-1 series record, but the 23-26 overall record.

(JUNE 4th)

Regardless of the outcome of today's game, the Orioles will have lost a series to the Astros for the first time since 2003.

In their previous 7 series, the Orioles had gone 6-0-1 against the Astros, who had swept the Orioles in their first-ever head-to-head match-up of the two teams.

ORIOLES - Ooo; 6 Series

ASTROS -OOOy. 2 Series

TIED/SPLIT - o;1 Series

Although they lost a series to the Astros for the first time since 2003, the Orioles salvaged the final game of this 4-game set.

Thank goodness that Keuchel was starting against us again.

9-8-1 after a much-needed series win against the Indians (the Orioles took 2 out of 3 games.)

Although, the Indians gave us every chance to sweep the series on Saturday when Oriole pitching gave them 14 baserunners (7 walks and 7 hits) in the first 6 innings of said game, of which they only scored 2 runs.

The failed sweep, which was punctuated by a nonexistent offense, was somewhat of a microcosm of the first 1/3 of our season ...... decent, but far from good ...... a series win, but a failure for FULLY taking advantage of the situation by only taking 2 out of 3 instead of 3 out of 3.

This time, the Orioles DID NOT fail to take advantage of the opportunity(ies) that what was/were given them.

10-8-1 after sweeping 3 games from the Red Sox.

Make that 13-10 over their last 23 games ...... including sweeping 2 games from the Yankees, in New York.

Perhaps the Jennings experiment wasn't so crazy after all. Anyhow glad they helped us out tonight and last. I think the Yanks are going to crash hard. Tex and A-Rod can't hit like this forever and their starters outside of Pineda do not inspire confidence and who knows about Miller.

      The game is already tied. If he gets thrown out, the O's still have a runner in scoring position and just one out. You really didn't have much to lose by sending him there, with a chance to end the game.

      Yes.  He’s not a great bunter but at least try it once.   Santander was today’s choker.  He’s gotta be able to hit a freaking fly ball there.

      Same exact question Ravens fans ask every season.  No killer instinct.  In the game’s biggest moments, they come up small.  Exactly what you saw today.  Pathetic

      Should we have gone with a suicide or safety squeeze with Mullins? He might be better at bunting than hitting deep fly balls. Just a thought.

      I agree with the second but not the first. If the first fails, that's an extra out. If the second fails then they just get an out at home instead of an out at first, which is not really relevant with Gunnar going to 3rd. For the first case I'd think you need to be like 80% to succeed for it to be right, but for the second like 20%.

      The Sting of Losing Winnable Games

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      Bump. Tonight's game wasn't just "winnable" -- it would have been one of the top 2-3 wins of the season. Down 2 in the 9th and we come out single, single, walk, double to tie the game and have two of our fastest runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, with our 2-3-4 hitters coming up next.  And our guys gagged. They wilted under pressure. They choked.  Again.  This has happened so many times this season that I believe we need to consider the real possibility that the Orioles as currently constructed lack the character, stamina, -- the heart, if you will -- to win games like this. I think these players fail so often because they expect to fail. I remember after we won it all in '83 reporters were interviewing Ken Singleton in the locker room and one of them asked if the Orioles had been lucky. "You make your own luck" he responded. Well, the 2024 Orioles are making their own bad luck over and over again. How does that cycle of failure come to an end? I wish I knew.

      I know the OH hates Holliday, but it's a no brainer keeping him over Soto. We're talking about bench players who are going to, at most, have a small role in a few games. Soto has no pop and is slow. He's a warm body as it is. Holliday's ability to run can be very useful in the playoffs.
