The Orioles were 0-82 this year when trailing after seven innings. They could have changed that with a win.

0-83.  That means in 61% of the games to date, the game is over early.  Yeah, I know many will say they're over before they begin, but I digress.  Conversely, that means the O's are 40-13 when tied or leading after 7.  

Be that as it may, here's your guide to watching Orioles baseball in September, assuming that you might watch.

Check the box score after 7 innings. If the Orioles are losing:
- Change the channel
- Read a book
- Actually spend some time with your family
-Take the dog outside 
- Catch up on your sleep; you'll feel better the next day.

There are many more things to do, but you get the idea.

It means, live bet vs the O’s.

I stopped watching sometime in May or June.   The converse of your stat is that the O’s are 34-7 when leading after 7.   So, they’re behind twice as often as they are ahead after 7, but they manage to lose 17% of the games where they have the lead while never coming back to win one when they’re behind.   Recipe for misery.

If a team falls in Seattle
and no one is around to watch it
does it make a difference?

0-85

Hell yeah!  Sisco only K's once for Davis, so there is that!  And Jimmy Y "showcased" well for next year's rotation.  :leaving:

    • 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.
