Well, the Orioles made it interesting but....

0-90.  Oakland clinches the season series vs. the Orioles.   That leaves the White Sox as the only A.L. team left that the Orioles could win the season series against provided they do play the games AND the Orioles go at least 2-1. 

I'll update this IF the streak is ever broken.  Ciao.

Well, we COULD win the season series with the Astros if we sweep all four from them at the end of the season.

When the game is close, and the O’s are cold 
There’s a thundering roar from 34 to give it nothing they fold

And you never know who’s gonna hear the call 
Every game there’s a different bum 
That’s the tragedy of Orioles’ Baseball! 

Orioles Tragic! Feel it happen! 
Orioles Tragic! Feel it happen! 

O - R - I - O - L - E - S ! 

Tragic! Tragic! Tragic! Tragic! 

Something Tragic happens, everytime you go 
You make the Tragic happen, the Tragic of Orioles’ Baseball! 

When Bucks moves and we make some errors
Nothing could be more dull 
Nothing could provide more terrors! 

There’s a hate affair between you and the team 
You’re the reason we lose when we lose
And you know what the tragic means! 

Orioles Tragic! Feel it happen! 
Orioles Tragic! Feel it happen! 
Orioles Tragic! Feel it happen! 
Orioles Tragic! Feel it happen! 

O - R - I - O - L - E - S ! 

Tragic! Tragic! Tragic! Tragic! 

Orioles Tragic! Feel it happen! 

Tragic! Tragic! Tragic! Tragic! 

Something Tragic happens….

0-90 just one of the truly outstanding stats from this season.  But going beyond this season, two of my other favorite stats...

Orioles record since Sept. 1, 2017: 48-124 (.279)

Buck's record with the Os: 663-672 (.497).  Not easy to be under .500 when 5 of the 8 full years here he finished at .500 or better, and the 1/3 year in 2010 was close to .600. 

During the great Astros intentional rebuild, their worst season was 51-111 in 2013.  To match that, we would have to go 10-8.

    • 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.
