That explosive "Walk" off Dub last night inspired me!  Lopie and Eshelman were quite the duo!  Tanner @scOtt gets a much-deserved W!    

I'm just glad to be here and the good lord willing I can help the team.

And if that "night shift" gig comes through, I can continue this "hockey puck"!

Two walk-off wins and a walk-off loss in the last six games.   It’s been quite the roller coaster.

Speaking of 10 games at a time, starting July 17th (my father's 90th birthday), they are 7-3.  Has the tide turned (as they say in Norfolk)?

It's been fun to watch, even if not the best-played baseball you'll see.

Imagine if this stuff were happening with a team that was sniffing playoff contention. Now that would be fun. People might even pay to watch, in person, a team like that playing down-to-the-wire games and coming from behind to win some of them.

Of course, you won't see much late-inning excitement in doubleheaders because there aren't many late innings.

This last stretch feels worse than 3-7, since we started 3-2 then lost five in a row, coughing up a couple of three-run leads late in order to do it.

Two is better than zero, I guess.

Lol

5 ten games stretches of 2 wins or less.

[vab]

Still 3 games better than the 2018 team after 130 games. Kind of mind-boggling when 40-90 is not the worst you've been in the last four seasons.

True and it's also better than one, which is the loneliest number.

I found zero to be pretty lonely.

In their 52-win season, the O’s had three ten-game stretches where they won more than they lost, one other 5-5 stretch, and then 12 where they lost more than one, including two where they got skunked and another 1-9 skein. 

The O’s had three streaks where they went 0-14, 1-14 and 0-19, for a total of 1-47.   Even if you remove those entirely, they were 51-63 (.447) the rest of the time.    

The O’s never won more than three games in a row all year, though they managed that feat six times.
