I don't blame the players. AZ is the same as any other team, they want to win any game. :noidea: Is what it is.

At least we know there was no intentional tanking going on this weekend. After losing that 7-0 lead Friday night I had my suspicions.

Absolutely horrible year but this ending takes the sting out of it to some extent. Being THIS bad and not getting the first pick would have been a brutal kick in the nards (on top of the legion of other kicks in the nards the Orioles have so generously provided in recent years).

Sucks for AZ fans, but I promised to start a D'backs franchise on MLB The Show 21 and lead them back to the promised land if they beat the Rockies while watching the MLB.com play-by-play of the 9th inning on my phone, and I am a man of my word, so I think that means we're pretty much even :clap:

Meh I’m kinda happy that Toronto isn’t gonna make it after being so close. 

I'm with you in the minority on this one, I would actually rather BOS makes it in than TOR. I hate the Blue Jays so much lol.

:mad: CITO SUCKS :mad:

Here's hoping that some kid steps up and becomes the consensus #1 pick ala Harper, Rutschman, or Strasburg, making all this angst worth while. We've already got a top five minor league system, imagine what Elias and Sid can do with additional top picks and more money to sign them.

AR and G-Rod graduate next year but it's still got the chance to be a great system with Hall, Cowser, Henderson, Mayo and Mr. #1.

So, the original thread title was 100% wrong: the 2021 O’s were not the worst team in Orioles’ history (by record), and we did catch the Diamondbacks.   

I didn’t want the O’s to lose their way into the no. 1 pick, but since we did lose, we may as well have the pick!

One way to look at this: we won the maximum number of games we could win while still getting the no. 1 pick.  Good job!  (I guess.)

I grew up thinking the parsley was there just for the visual garnish effect, but now I know it actually takes the taste to a new level. I always include parsley when preparing pasta now.

    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
    • i think we all are going to have ptsd from that 9th inning for a while,it was that brutally bad . they need to do some special to get us to forget about it
    • wow,did gunnar and adley have to do this last season? 
    • I suggested that earlier but I think it's probably a bad play with no out. The O's have like 85% probability of scoring. There is a huge downside risk of Mullins popping up the bunt for a double play. He could also whiff on the bunt making at least Holliday an easy out. With one out and only 65% probability of scoring it's a much better play. I think if Santander and Mullins were reversed in the lineup Hyde may have done it but not when you have two shots to get the run in. 
    • WE GOT US ONE - JD5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Completely disagree about Orr. He will be fine. His defense has been better in its first few games compared to McDonald’s first few games.     And some of these big passing stats are over exaggerated. There have been mistakes for sure.
