The Orioles, 10 games at a time

Pretty darned consistent.     

[Tbone83]

Considering how rough the NY and Boston series seemed, I will take 6-4 all day. Nice bounce back from all the drama.

Pretty concerning trend if you ask me.  At this rate, we'll be looking at -2 and 12 in late July.

Our first losing stretch of the year, and all six losses were by one run.     At the same time, three of the four wins were in extra innings, and the other win was by two runs.     Nail-biter baseball every game!

Both the yankees and red sox are also 4-6 the past 10 games, so that helps

The most recent 10 featured a 7-game losing streak, longest suffered by the team since 2011.

I haven't updated this thread in a while, mostly because it was too depressing.    But this takes it through Game 80:

So, basically, once you said they were pretty consistent., it went down hill.

Now on to 2018.    For this year, I'm adding two new features for each 10-day period.    In addition to listing the W-L record, I'm going to show runs scored and allowed for the 10-game stretch, and the IP and ERA for the starting rotation.    Here we go for the first 10 games of 2018:

4-6; 37 RS, 54 RA; Starters 48 IP, 5.25 ERA

As you can see, our offense for these 10 games was not stellar, though certainly better over the last 5-6 games.    The starting pitching was poor overall, and only covered 4.8 innings per game.   That's especially tough because the O's have played 3 extra inning games already, so that's a lot of extra innings for the bullpen.

[Aglets]

Best way to give our bullpen a boost is to have our starters actually complete 5 or 6 innings consistently.

Yes.   And it’s unusual to play three extra inning games in a ten-day span.    And these weren’t just extra inning games, but long ones (11, 14 and 12 innings).    Hopefully in the next 10 our starters go long and we win them without resorting to extra innings.
