Here it is, sports fans.  The Orioles are looking at tying and possibly breaking their own record for futility this week.

After a much needed off-day tomorrow, the Angels are in town for three.

Your pitching matchups:

Tuesday:  Our old friend Dylan Bundy vs. Spenser Watkins, a battle of the heavyweights.  Bundy has a 6.04 ERA, Watkins is sporting a 5.63 ERA.

Wednesday:  Shohei Ohtani vs. TBD.  I'm sure whoever we match up with vs. Ohtani has a chance.

Thursday:  TBD vs. TBD

Better get one Tuesday or Thursday if we don't want to end up tying the record.  Rays in town Friday and you can chalk that one up as a loss.  Could be #22.

Other historic streaks to keep an eye on: 1961 Philadelphia Phillies 23 straight losses ( modern record). We can break this record on 8/29 in game 3 against Rays. 1889 Louisville Colonels 26

Not sure how it happened, but I've started reading all of your posts in an Eeyore voice, from Winnie the Pooh.

1889 Louisville Colonels 26 straight losses (all time MLB record).  We can break this record on 9/1 in game 3 against the Jays.

The record watch is on!

I have tickets to the game Ohtani is pitching.   Very excited to see him.  

What??? In the Angels thread you had asked if anyone wanted the tix. Glad to see you came to your senses.

Ohtani may be the most exciting player in baseball. You might get to see a guy hit a HR, steal a base and also pitch at a high level.

And the Orioles couldn't even be bothered to make him an offer.

Angelos deserves all that and more.

We've not seen any evidence that this bothers the sons at all.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out they aren't even paying attention.

Are they ever in the Owner's box?

I don’t know if an owner showing up to watch their team speaks to their overall involvement or interest in that team winning. However, could it hurt? 

The fan base in Baltimore has dealt with their father’s mismanagement for years. Is it too much to ask that the current owners show some interest to indicate to the fan base they’re headed in a different direction?

Maybe it’s just me, or you.

I just figured if they bothered to show up for a game we would know they have some baseline about caring.

      I thought Chisholm missed home too. They didn’t appeal tho I don’t think.

      Inexcusable missed call in NY. Review Cleo at showed Chisholm out at 2nd. They upheld safe call.

      Elias: It's on me

      By now · Posted

      Well, good on posters who proved the SSS side of "Guards Ball." I just found it striking in terms of the narrative in that article, which was basically the same as what most around here were complaining the O's lacked: clutch hitting, passing the baton, aggressive running, getting runners in from third, etc. I guess the real bottom line is "whatever works." Which of course varies from case to case. The old Bill James postseason wisdom was that HRs are the ticket, since you face good pitching and get so few hits. So back to you, Elias, keep crunching those numbers...

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      First, the had a jump in 23’ given how terrible they had been previously, which conditions many fans in the marketplace not to care. They simple weren’t relevant for years. So one very good regular season will not undue years of being bad/irrelevant and treating your customers terribly. Next, I think they missed an opportunity in the offseason by not doing enough by way of big/bold attention grabbing moves. Now I acknowledge that this was most likely due to the ownership flux/transition. I believe they got an attendance/marketplace engagement boost when they changed owners and when they traded for Burnes. However, I believe we would have seen more engagement attendance with say a big Gunnar extension and/or bringing in a big time FA.   IMO this would have created more buzz before the season (say around the time people make season tix decisions - IMO before Christmas is when some people make those bigger purchases). All of this is to say, that it will take time and effort on the organizations part because of how bad of a stain that the Angeloses left. I still have friends and colleagues who refuse to support the Orioles and attend games due to the damage that was done. Rubenstien & co are not going to be able to undo 30 years of awfulness overnight. But IMO it is not enough to simply call it “a new chapter”. They have to make new/different actions to distinguish themselves from who the Orioles were/used to be under the Angelos regime.

      Just checking in on Gameday, Yankees looking incredibly vulnerable.  Should be the Os out there.  Super lame.  Whichever team wins this series I hope gets knocked out by CLE or DET.

      If the franchise were better, the fan base would be too.  It’s been a rough 40 years.
