On the verge of infamy

[vab]

Barring a miracle tonight, the Orioles will go into tomorrow on the verge of being the most games under .500 (53) of any Orioles team ever (54-107 on the last day of the 1988 season). A loss tomorrow would also bring Buck Showalter's regular season record as Orioles manager to .500 (659-659). Mind-numbing.

Five years of winning all burned to the ground in little over one season.

No sense messing around.

This is going to be the worst Oriole team in history, and we're just going to have to get past it.

It’s impressive in a twisted way. The 1988 Orioles went 0-21 and this year’s edition is going to smoke them at their current pace

Are we mathematically elimanated??  If not I find this thread to be a bit premature.

Someone told me earlier today and I didn't believe her at first.

With 36 games left, if the Orioles repeat their 4-32 performance to close the season, as in 2002, they would lose 121 games and be the worst team ever. Now that would be infamy.

That's is mind numbing.

Trivia:  who on the current team leads the Orioles in fWAR?

 

Answer:  Alex Cobb, with 1.5

That 4-32 stretch is just amazing in retrospect.

Consider that as bad as the Orioles have been this year, the WORST 36 game stretch they have had at any point is 7-29.
