It all starts with today.

We are 40% there. Next man up is Cybaldo. I feel confident.

I'll tell you who wishes he had stayed in bed today, though -- Conger. He pinch-hits with the bases loaded with the Rays down by a run in the top of the 8th and strikes out on an O'Day slider so far i

The Pirates have won 12 out of their last 14 games.

The Tigers have lost 8 in a row, and 11 out of their last 13.

Two weeks ago, both of those scenarios would have seemed unlikely ...... not necessarily "shocking", but unlikely.

It's a long season, and while this Orioles team is flawed, it is far from a bad team ........ presuming their demise is far too premature.

They didn't win 5 straight, but they went 4-1 overall.

And they did it by taking one game at a time (while simultaneously playing some good baseball.)

When weams started this thread, he asked for 5 wins in a row, but the Orioles had to settle for winning 4 out of 5.

The Orioles just did it again ...... they have won 4 out of their last 5. O:clap3:

Make that 5 out of 6, for only the second time this season.

For what it's worth and because I found basic number crunching a good way to procrastinate....

During the current "5 of last 6," O's averaged 3.67 versus giving up 1.83. Six (awful) games prior to that, O's averaged 2.33 while giving up 4.5. MW returned 6/5 (last 5 games)...O's averaged 3.8 and gave up 1.8. I am a CJ fan, but something intangible about MW's presence can't be denied. Granted, these numbers are including the White Hot Red Sox bats (wink wink)....just putting it out there. Let's go O's!

Make that 6 out of 7 ...... for the first time this season.

4 straight wins ...... for the first time this season.

A series sweep ....... for the first time this season.

Also, AJ is HITTING! Anyone think that Adam's breaking out of a slump is coincidentally coincident with our run?

Jones is crushing. He got a couple days off for his injuries to heal. David Lough made that possible. This is all because of David Lough.

Yes, but since we lost all the games David Lough started in CF, anyone could have done it. Filling in only matters if we win.

      They also haven’t announced the times, yet.

      Well, I don't like to predict things on message boards but my prediction is we will not acquire two pitchers with a better Zips projection than Kremer. I would be more surprised by two than I would be by zero.

      You can’t ignore how he pitched against Detroit and the makeup of their roster. He has more value than even Suarez if that is who we end up playing.

      Wild card series roll call

      By SteveA · Posted

      So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.
