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 was a college senior in 1997 and that should have been the world series championship season for me....as opposed to 1983 when I was 8 and didn't appreciate much. 

It shouldn't be too much to ask.....20 teams have won titles since our last one and 25 teams in total have at least appeared in the WS.  Statistically speaking, we are more than due.

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

If they keep playing the line up they have out there tonight and Buck mangaging they won't win 30 games next season.  If course we won't know what will happen in the off season.

Now we need a thread to guess when they will get their 110th loss.

Nah, there was next to no interest in this thread.  Obla-di, Obla-da
Once the team gets to 108, this death watch will be more tedious than it is now.

How about a thread showing their current place in the most losses in.a season in the modern era.

That's been done, but knock yourself out all the same.

      2024 Week 6: Ravens vs Commanders

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      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

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      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.

      Grade the Eflin Trade

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      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.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      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.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      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.
