Cole Hamels, making his first start of the season, vs Keegan Akin. Battle of lefties, and both teams sit some LH hitters who usually play: 1. Ronald Acuna Jr. (R) CF 2. Freddie Freeman (

In 2018, the Orioles faced 18 teams and won the season series from 2 of them:  Atl (2-1), and Mets (3-1).

In 2019, the Orioles faced 20 teams, and won the season series from 1 of them:  the Angels (4-3).

This year, there were only 9 teams on the Orioles' schedule.  They have already won the season series from 2 of them:  Washington (4-2), and Philly (3-0).   This game will determine the season series with Atlanta.   In addition, the Orioles could still win the season series from Tampa (up 3-2 with 5 remaining games) and Boston (up 4-3 with 3 games remaining).

And there it is.   We win the season series vs the Braves, and have won as many season series against the 9 teams we played this year as we did against the 38 teams we played the last two years combined.

We could still win a couple more.

And we finish 11-9 vs the National League.

      The 2025 Roster - Another Year Older

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I see a playoff team with maybe the same expectations the 2023 team had going into the season. Possibly being picked to finish between 2nd and 4th in our division.     SP - Eflin, Grayson, Big Al, Kremer, Povich McDermott in AAA. Bradish and Means back in the 2nd half????  Wells too? RP - Bautista, Cano, Dominguez, Soto, Coloumbe, Webb, Perez, Akin 1B - Mountcastle DH - O’Hearn 2B - Holliday 3B - Westburg SS - Gunnar C - Adley LF - Cowser CF - Mullins RF - Kjerstad Bench - Mateo, Urias, backup C, RH OF or Mayo Basallo up mid season This is us baby.  We are who we are.  The only way to get experience is to actually get experience. Sorry to Brad Fuller maybe our “vet” can be a former player as hitting coach.  Carlos Beltran or Bonds.

      I would love to sign any hitters who have actually experienced postseason success and wins.....maybe even championships.  Gurriel for KC has been a part of a lot of postseason wins and having veterans on the team like that are valuable.  I saw somewhere the KC guys said they really benefitted from having Gurriel, Pham, Sal Perez, and others who have been there and done that.  Continuing to rely on young players with nothing but zeroes on their postseason resumes isn't helpful.   I heard Francona is going to manage the Reds.  Great move for them.  I would have loved to have him, given he is a Hall of Famer with actual WS championships and a ton of October success.

      Worst Orioles Loss of My Lifetime

      Crazy to lose to the same city in all three sports with two to be considered monumental upsets. I believe the Knicks were actually favored against the Bullets, but not sure as it was before I was born.

      Worst Orioles Loss of My Lifetime

      That entire series very much hurt. Benitez was awful. He hung a slider to Grissom (the eventual ALCS MVP) allowing a go-ahead homer in the top of the 8th of game 2. The squeeze play you mentioned that I haven't been convinced wasn't foul in game 3. Game 4 had two of their guys score on the same wild pitch where it looked like David Justice blocked Lenny Webster after scoring the first of those two runs. And then of course, the last hanging slider from Armando to Tony Fernandez that proved to be the game winner in game 6. Just painful all around.
