Who predicted it correctly originally?

Nobody.  @Frobby was the only one that weighed in before the team got to 99 losses.

Loss #108 is on the horizon.

1988    54   107   0.335
2018    41   100   0.291

1954    54  100    0.351
2009    64    98    0.395
2001    63    98    0.391
1955    57    97    0.370
2010    66    96    0.407
2002    67    95    0.414
1991    67    95    0.414
1987    67    95    0.414
2011    69    93    0.426
2008    68    93    0.422
2007    69    93    0.426

It took 34 years for the '88 O's to finally get back to and eclipse the century mark.  30 years for our current bunch to munch triple digits.  Will we do this next year again?  I think we need a poll for the next century-busting infamous event.*  All that in my lifetime!  At least I was a NY Giant fan in 1954 when Say Hey, Monte, Leo and Co. won in a sweep!

*Grand prize could be visit to Colby Rasmus' OK ranch to see how the heifers are doing?

I doubt I'll see another Orioles world series in my lifetime.
I'm 57.

The last Orioles World Series, I was a college senior.  My son just started college so he should get to see one, someday.

I don't think the Orioles will lose 100 next season.

Then I guess I’m going to have to outlive you.    I’m taking bobmc to an Orioles World Series game if it’s the last thing we do!   (And it might be.)

I was looking and not sure if  I missed some but saw only two teams in the 162 game schedule that won less then 50 games.Not sure maybe some more.Orioles could be at around 50 to end the year.

We'll qualify for the "lesser-abled" seating and may need the "braille-enhanced" Smart watches.  But, I am game.

    • 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.
