When Will O's Win 1st Their Spring Training Game?

[mdbdotcom]

Pick the date and game (if there are two games that day)!

[Bahama O's Fan]

The offense doesn't look good so far. I thought the hitters were supposed to be ahead of the pitchers now.

Tomorrow, 02/26.  4-2 win over the Tigers.

Have our starters produced a run yet? the first game I was at was a 3 run tater by Chance, which was terrific (man, can he hit!) but ...

What's funny is, all 3 home runs the Orioles have hit so far have been from catchers. Sisco with the 3 run shot, with Perez and Wynns with solo shots.

I predict they will win Monday, February 26th.

Though depends on the bullpen. Pitchers are having a rough inning and things get out of hand.

ST W's are meaningless.

Well, sort of.  There was  a study of the 28 season span between 1984 and 2012 that did find some trends as related to teams making the playoffs. .

. Zooming in on playoff teams only, he finds a bit more, showing that “two-thirds of all playoff teams over the last 28 years have at least played .500 in the spring, and only 13% have reached the post season after playing sub.-400 baseball.”

I’m surprised there wasn’t a ‘Let’s Trade Bundy’ thread.

I agree.  But finishing under .400 for the entire spring training season would correlate with a 13 percent likelihood of a playoff appearance.

So who is searching for meaning here? I asked for a prediction, not meaning.

Chicken gizzards are meaningless too. You might just as well base your predictions on them.. Who cares?

13% is a hell of a lot higher than I'd give them prior to any single ST game was played.
