Right now the Orioles are 6-2 in games 81-88. It could be the first time they exceed 6-4 -- or not.

I thought it might be interesting to compare our AL East competitors:

Bottom line, the O's have been steady if unspectacular. They haven't had any really long winning streaks (5 is their longest) or losing streaks (4). They've played well over the last few weeks and hopefully will continue to do so despite the tougher schedule ahead.

Excellent thread Franklyn, and great info.

While the Orioles have been extremely frustrating at times this year by seemingly not being able to get out of their own way, they have also avoided any big turns downward by not having any 10-game block worse than 4-6 (there may have been one or two times in which they went 3-7 over a 10-game stretch, but they quickly righted the ship, which brought them back up to a minimum of 4-6 or better over the exact 10-game increment marks of 10 games into the season, 20 games into the season, 30 games into the season, etc.)

The only other team in the division that has been able to do that this season has been the Yankees, and I think that we are a better team than them, in addition to the fact that we are also 3.5 games ahead of them in the standings.

I hate to see this 8-2 run go to waste. Wish the All-Star break was another week away. I want them to keep their momentum a little while longer. It will be interesting to see how the respond to the break!

It will be hard to gear it back up.

They blew a couple of golden opportunities to have gone 7-3 or 8-2 in the first game of the Athletics series, and the last game of the Angels series .......... but, in these 10-game increments, they continue to be uncannily steady.

Only two 10 game chunks under .500 Keep that up and sprinkle in a few 6-4 and we should be in the playoffs.

NICE work! ;)

    • I'll be surprised if it's not that trio with either Kremer or Gibson as the 4th starter if the Orioles need one during the playoffs. It's terrible Means was gone for nearly 1.5 years, but the plus side is his arm should be fresh.
    • If the Orioles can't get a good return and Norby doesn't win a job next spring, the odds may go up that he takes over in left in 2025 if the Orioles aren't going to pay both Hays and Mullins, or maybe neither.
    • 4 Ks and missed 6 bats. I missed the game tonight and it looks like he pitched well and he is certainly 3rd in the pecking order right now (which speaks to the staff more than anything) but I don’t have confidence in him vs top offenses if he can’t miss bats and strike guys out.
    • I think Kremer will be in the pen for the playoffs.   I think he can be a weapon out of the bullpen for us this year. Next year I imagine he will pitch in the rotation and continue to improve.  I see this guy pitching in MLB for a long time.  He has the drive and desire to be great.  He improves and adapts as he goes along.     I think they need to try and add and impact starter in the off-seasons and push competition.  I’d like to see two impact relief arms as well.     I’m not in the “the sky is falling” camp right now, but the last few weeks have shown the importance of high quality depth.  You can’t have too much talent. 
    • I bought tickets from the Birdland members presale. My wife and I have a 13-game plan. When it said you could only buy one set of tickets per series, I assumed that meant one pair for the Wild Card Series, one for the ALDS, and one for the ALCS. But I'm seeing people online say that they bought tickets for two games in the ALDS and one for the ALCS. I didn't realize that I could distribute my three games any way I wanted. Now I'm annoyed that I wasted tickets on two series that might not happen at all.
    • The Orioles have one more loss at home than on the road. So I would say about the same. The Rays on the other hand are .663 at home (53-27) vs. .553 on the road (42-34). The Orioles have Bradish and GRod going against the Nationals, at home, after a day off. They should win those games. If they win tomorrow, too, the deed would be nearly done by Wed. Winning tomorrow is not essential, they would be still in good shape with a loss. But it would help to avoid going deep into the week to resolve this.
