(July 12th)

 

Last night, the Orioles were shut out for the 9th time in 93 games so far this season.

The 2017 Orioles were shut out 11 times all season, with 5 out of those 11 shutouts coming in the final 22 games.

(STARTLING STATISTIC)

 

Between Opening Day of 2017 and the 140th game of that season, the Orioles were shut out at an average of 1 time every 23.33 games (6 times in 140 games.)

Since the 140th game of last season through the present, the Orioles have been shut out at an average of 1 time every 8.21 games (14 times in 115 games.)

The Orioles have scored double digits runs and 15+ hits in 4 consecutive home games, tying the All-Time Major League record.

The only other team to ever do it is the Colorado Rockies, twice, so we are the first team ever to do it at less than a mile altitude.

Interestingly, despite the absence of Manny and Schoop, the offense has ticked up.

March/April: .673 OPS, 3.50 runs/game

May: .683, 3.96

June: .639, 3.38

July: .765, 4.52

August (so far): .799, 4.85

Of course, now the pitching is cratering, 6.47 ERA this month.

Since the all-star break, the O's are 1st in the AL in batting average (.285) by 9 points, 1st in slugging (.487), 4th in OBP (.344), 4th in runs, and 2nd in homers with 40 - 1 behind Texas, but TX has played 2 more games since the break.  Baseball can be confusing some times when the gods try to even things out.  .

    • I really hope the Ravens win this one. I hate all Washington teams and always root for them to lose but especially if they are playing Baltimore teams 
    • I really don’t see the point of trading Mullins, or even Mountcastle for a reliever. We need Mullins definitely, especially with Santander being a FA.  What good is a reliever if you can’t get a lead?  I just don’t like trading everyday players for relievers, especially when we have a good looking pen next year pre deadline, and what reliever would Mounty/Mullins even buy. Would that reliever even be an upgrade over what we already have? At this point, I’m thinking Mounty goes for some sort of RHH COF. 
    • We couldn’t have asked for more from the Eflin deal than what we got. 9 starts that kept the rotation afloat to even make the playoffs. Then a “good” playoff start in an elimination game where we had the luxury of going to the pen fast.  It’s always tough giving up prospects, but Eflin did exactly what we needed him to do post deadline.   
    • There should be one philosophy, and that's what the O's claimed to have. There's just a lot more work to coaching 13 hitters (plus callups) than one person can do. Going through video, coordinating with the data folks, developing a plan, all that stuff. Only so many hours in the day.
    • I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.
    • At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also. 
    • Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.
