O's have been 17 games above .500 on three occasions.

June 29th they were 47-30

July 16th they were 53-36

Last night, July 24th they reached 57-40

Tonight they try to go 18 over for the first time this year.

Go O's.

The 17 mark led to two big loosing streaks 5 games and 4 games. Hopefully that gives us the motivation to get 18 tonight. I am a little worried about a flat team tonight. We had a big series in New York and then knew we were headed home to face the top team in the league. We got through that but hopefully that wont lead to a let down tonight and come out flat.

I hope it goes better than the last two times.

On June 29th, the Orioles were 47-30 and then they lost five games in a row including a four game sweep by Seattle

On July 16th, the Orioles were 53-36 and then they lost four games in a row including losing three out of four to the Yankees

There is one big difference though. The next three games are at home while the Orioles were on the road the last two times they were 17 games over .500. Hopefully, they'll be able to get over the hump this time.

    • As of today, we have 3 lefties in the OF. He will have plenty of at bats here.  I wouldn't start him everyday persay but 350-450 at bats will be fine.
    • For me, he’d be the 4th outfielder so he’d likely have to do both. He could spell all three of Mullins/Cowser/Kjerstad at any given time. I would argue positionally a RH OF might be out biggest need in fact, so if not O’Neil, someone else of that ilk. 
    • I would consider adding Tommy Pham in our McKenna/Slater role......he's a better bat and it pretty much guarantees that we'll be in the playoffs again.  He always gets there. Yes, I'm serious.
    • Alonso would be the worst possible signing for us. All he does is hit for power, and even that might be waning, even before you stick him in Oriole Park with that LF wall. That is the hardest of passes.    Martinez is very meh. That dude is going to fall off a cliff at some point soon, I’d rather it not be while the Os are paying him.    Could get on board with O’Neill for sure, if the price is reasonable. Major upgrade over the Slater/Hays combo from 2024, if he could stay healthy. 
    • So, you would be okay putting him in left field, or a you thinking of him platooning in right with Kjerstad?
    • A lot of good stuff here: https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/10/07/mlb-orioles-rubenstein I particularly like the following quote: “I’ve written some big checks for Carlyle over the years, so we’ve put alot of money into deals and it’s not like I’m going to have a shock at the size of the dollars that might be involved,” he said. “The trick is getting the opportunity to do that.”
    • Lot of great crowds at these games so far in fact (throwing stuff onto the field notwithstanding). Yankees crowd I must begrudgingly admit was pretty raucous you could hear drum beats, maybe the occasional horn, in addition to their usual annoying chanting and sound effects. Phillies always have great crowds. SD and LA turning it up a notch. Detroit and Mets and KC will almost certainly add to that list shortly. Makes it that much more fun to watch.
