I never get tired of saying that.

Time to bump this O’s have won 3 straight while the yanks have lost 3 in a row

Since September 2022, there have been 7 games in Yankee Stadium where the Yankees could have secured a series win over the Orioles.  The Orioles have won all 7 of those games.

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.

      Well said! Like you, I go back to about 1970 and the # of posts someone has is irrelevant to me. The fact that so many on here think there you know what don't stink keeps me, and I'm sure others from joining in more. I know what I know about this team and I don't feel the need to prove myself. And btw the closest that I've ever lived to Baltimore is the very most western part of Illinois.

      To me none of that matters. Baker was throwing the ball well.  Had spin and velocity.  Go with that. Again, goes to show how many managers don't go by feel anymore and instead just go by what the book says.

      You will get used to that around here.  The people saying you can't say anything about the Os unless you have played baseball for 20 years or been an Os fan for 50 years.   Bottom line is Baker, as mediocre as he is, was actually throwing the ball pretty well.  His pitches has spin and velocity and he had just struck out his last batter. To take him out for a complete and utter scrub?  And I say scrub in the best way possible?  Was ridiculous. Hyde was playing text book/by the book baseball instead of actually MANAGING BASEBALL by instinct and feels. And he got burned for it.  And it has not been the first time.

      Brecht has TOR upside.  We’re good at finding #3-#5 types just in developing them, but we need that TOR arm upside and develop.

      I thought Baker had a better chance of getting a strikeout. Even though he created that mess it looked like he could have worked out of it.  Generally not in favor of bringing in guys for bases loaded situations unless they’re absolute nails and have an extremely high K rate.  Akin’s K rate is higher this year but I still don’t believe he was the better option than Baker.

      We’ve been picking really athletic types when not picking high in rd 1. Position player wise.   2023 - EBJ, Horvath, Josenberger, Cunningham, Etzel Not that are prior picks haven’t been athletic, if you know what I’m trying to say. We don’t take plodders as position players.
