I feel like plays like these have been a part of his entire tenure here. He has the speed but not the mental game. I expect him to be gone once Hays is ready.
The Orioles have gone 103 consecutive RS series without being swept, spanning 322 games including series of:
2 G: 8 times
3 G: 75
4 G: 19
5 G: 1
If the games were decided by coin flip, the odds of this occurring randomly would be approximately 1 in 785,670.
In addition, the Orioles have now staved off a sweep in a regular-season series finale 13 times:
5/19/22 NYY 9-6
6/22/22 Was 7-0
7/3/22 Min 3-1
9/18/22 Tor 5-4
9/21/22 Det 8-1
5/28/23 Tex 3-2
6/8/23 Mil 6-3
6/18/23 ChC 6-3
7/2/23 Min 2-1
7/19/23 LAD 8-5
8/10/23 Hou 5-4
4/14/24 Mil 6-4
5/8/24 Was 7-6
It's amazing that they've gone 13-0 in such games, but it might be even more impressive (qualitatively, because the assumptions of defining a non-coin-flip model are truly daunting) that they've only gone to a win-or-be-swept finale 13 times when expectation by coin flip would be 25.1875.
