But, of the previous five series, they won only one.    We need to follow up this win and take this series.   

Frobby, the way the O's manhandled the BoSox I wonder on somewhat of a cruise control? They are up on the Yankees by what 10 games? Just makes me think they will put it in overdroverdrive

Frobby not trying to take anything from the O's. They deserve the win. Just thinking the BoSox and Yankees will get tougher to beat when we get into September. JIMO

Well, we only play Boston five more times, including the two remaining games in this series.

Yeah, and 1 win out of every three doesn't get them too far.  This team remains as ugly as those uniforms they had on and incapable of a winning streak due to the worst pitching staff in Oriole history.  Games like last night are just the typical games that a below .500 team will play from time to time.

Frobby have you ever been to the BoSox stadium or the old Yankee stadium? To me they would be interesting to see.

I went to two games at Fenway when I was in college in the Boston area in 1975/76.    I went to one game at old Yankee Stadium in the mid-1980's.   I enjoyed the history, but neither holds a candle to OPACY in terms of beauty or comfort.

The current Yankee Stadium is very much like the 2nd Yankee Stadium (1976-2008.)

The original Yankee stadium (1923-1973) was much different than either one of the latter two.

The first game that I ever attended was a doubleheader between the Yankees and the White Sox in July of 1971. That stadium compared to the last 2 Yankee Stadiums (the one from 1976-2008 and the current one) is like 2 different worlds. They completely gutted the original stadium following the 1973 season, and opened the "renovated" stadium in 1976. The only things that they had that were similar were the geographic location of the infield, and the overall structure that was holding the building up.

Statistics. Remember how we almost beat Phillies long record of most consecutive games giving up 5 or more runs.. that's good enough for me. 

So:

2000 - 5.37 ERA

2006 - 5.35 ERA

2007 - 5.17 ERA

2009 - 5.15 ERA

1996 - 5.14 ERA

2008 - 5.13 ERA

1987 - 5.01 ERA

Are all better than the 2017 Orioles 4.92 ERA?????

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
