If the O’s winning the WS is a 100 on the joy meter, winning the pennant is a 90, winning the division title is an 80 and making the playoffs is a 70, then I’d say the Yankees finishing under .500 would be about a 69.9 for me.   Man I’m enjoying their current miserable play.

It might be a 101 for me LOL. 
 

Obviously not better than a World Series win but it isn’t that far off!  And almost as rare.

08/24/23: Orioles beat the Jays 5-3 and the Yankees lose 6-5 to the Nats.

I will admit it I will be rooting for the Yankees the next 3 games.  I am not expecting much.  I will take one out of 3.  Veteran teams like them where many of them have been paid and aren’t playing for the next bigger contracts have packed it in.  The know their manager will not be there next year.  Just not a good combination.

The Yankees lost and were eliminated from the postseason race today. 

It's the first time the Yankees missed the playoffs since 2016, and just the fifth time they've missed the playoffs since 1995. 

I read that it's the first time both the Yankees and Red Sox missed the playoffs since 2014, and the first time the Yankees, Red Sox, and Cardinals all missed the playoffs since 1993.

It was nice to see them finish well short of the playoffs, but I was hoping for a sub .500 finish.  Nowhere near the many terrible seasons the O's have had over the last 30 years since the Yankees last finished under .500. 

They’ve still got 3 against Toronto and 3 against the Royals who are on a 6 game win streak. Don’t give up hope yet!!

The Yankees have too many resources at their disposal to have those terrible seasons.  They have lost  90 or more games three times since 1913.   Never 100 games in that time frame.  They won 99 last year and to Yankee fans this year feels like our 100 loss seasons.  They haven’t won a World Series since 2009 which is how their fans measure success.  Baseball unlike Football isn’t a level playing field.

The Yankees have more resources than just about any other teams, but teams like the Red Sox and Mets this year have had much worse years.  The Red Sox in the last 20 years have had payrolls that have been competitive with the Yankees or even higher in some years.  The Red Sox still have had several years well below .500 recently.  It just seems the Yankees have been mostly well run for the last 30+ years in addition to having one of the top payrolls.  It doesn't make it easy on the O's.

      Who sits for Slater in Game One?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      What do you mean starting for Slater? He is not a starter. The Ragans matchup makes things interesting because he has reverse splits. I don't know the numbers but they need to start the guys with good numbers vs Ragans and/or LHP changeups, whether they are LH or RH.

      Perhaps. I'm just saying he could stop the Chiefs, the Raiders disaster, and the Cowboys debacle certainly gave me pause.  Last night they certainly looked better, but the first 3 games gave me pause. I think we'll know more after a full season.

      Observations at the end of the regular season....

      By Sanity Check · Posted

      1. If the Orioles had signed Jack Flaherty, Seth Lugo and Chris Sale to bolster our pitching staff last off-season, this place would have gone ballistic, and not in a good way. 2.  The Orioles ended the regular season last year flat as a pancake, and it carried into the offseason.  This year, while under the pressure of trying to keep up with the Yankees, the team struggled mightily to find consistent offense and any overall consistency.  Once that pressure waned with us knowing our destiny, guys seemed to loosen up, and we saw the offense come back.  I thought that might happen.  However, my question is, after laying an egg in the playoffs last year and recent struggles despite the last two series, does the pressure of the postseason put us back in the funk we saw throughout most of August and September? 3.  I've seen a consistent theme in this forum over the past week or two which is this:  "All we have to do is get hot at the right time, like Texas did last year."  While I agree that's true, and want us to be that team this year, isn't that statement kind of an admission that without getting hot, we're not good enough on our own merits to persevere in the tournament?  And before I get crucified for saying that, I'll point to what everyone has witnessed in recent months:  Bad/inconsistent bullpen, inconsistent offense, questions about our starting pitching, defensive lapses and being prone to not showing up offensively.  And please, let's not act like some, or all of these, don't exist.   That all being said, Go O's!!!!!  Let's get hot!!

      This Playoff Start From Burnes Defines His Time With the O’s

      All of the October ones will.    Tomorrow good chance to be the least important one if things go any kind of good. Granted ~40% chance it is the only one, but that is short series baseball, not him. I won't have warm feelings if he handles these guys but is bad twice the next series.

      Would be upsetting to start Slater in any playoff game at this point. Even if you think Mullins/Cowser cant hit LHP (news flash Slater cant either)- keep the defense and the guys who "got you there"

      Os vs KC in WC round

      By terpoh · Posted

      If the point was "Skubal is better" you kind of proved that for them. More innings, more K's, less ER, less Walks, less hits, better W/L. Across the board. Ragans is very very very good- but Skubal is better, and the runaway for AL Cy Young. Either is capable of shutting down an offense- and Ragans did just that earlier this year. But we also roughed up Ragans in the other start. No matter who we face, we're going to find things that make it tough, its the playoffs. Lets keep playing good ball and get payback for 2014.
