The O's in extra innings

[Frobby]

The O's are now 9-1 in extra inning games this year.    Since 2012:

2012 - 16-2

2013 - 8-7

2014 - 14-6

2015 - 6-5

2016 - 6-2

2017 - 9-1

That's 59-23 in a 5+ year span -- pretty awesome.   

Aside from the record, the other noteworthy thing is how often we play extra innings.    We've already had more extra inning games in 2017 than in all of 2016, and are on pace to play 28 overtime games, which would be mind boggling.    In a typical year, an average team plays 12-16 extra inning games.    The good news is, we're winning 'em.    The bad news is, all those extra inning games take a toll on the bullpen.     And something tells me we probably won't finish the season having gone 25-3 in extra innings, as we're now on pace to do.

Since the 2012 season, the Orioles' bullpen at-large has perennially been among the best in baseball.

And as good as they have been, they might have been even better had they not been so overworked ...... and that is ultra-impressive to me.

Pretty amazing, especially given our mediocre record in one run games.

Five of our 11 one-run wins have come in extra innings.    We've had four extra inning wins by more than one run (including last night), and our one extra inning loss was by more than one run.     

But by the way, I wouldn't call 11-8 in 1-run wins mediocre.    That's a .579 winning percentage, which over a season would be a 94-win pace.

I don't believe that the ability to win extra-inning games is a skill, but they seem to be very important for the Orioles. Every year they've been great in extras, they've made the playoffs. Probably not a coincidence.

Having a good bullpen clearly helps in extra innings.

That is not a coincidence.  That is a trend.  Kudos to that bullpen.
