Even though Lyles as a -.2 WAR, I feel like he has had some value for us. His FIP is 4.31. Overall, he's been better than he was last season.  Even with the negative value, he's been better than the majority of our SP options in the past 3 years

Imagine how stressed the bullpen would be w/o Lyles.  He might not be the greatest starter, but he's been taking the ball every 5 days and giving the O's 5 or 6 innings.

They'd definitely be in better shape if they had signed 1-2 decent starting pitchers, but they had to spend $7M to get Jordan Lyles and he hasn't helped them.  I'm actually glad that they didn't sign a real third baseman, because now there's nothing blocking Westburg or Gunnar except for prospect cheapskatery.  

You could have a real third baseman and those guys play here everyday.

The Orioles are 23-23 their last 46 games, their longest stretch of .500 ball since 2017.

It’s now been 56 games of .500 ball, 28-28 since they were 6-11 on April 26, two months ago today.  If they can win one more game in June, it will be the Orioles’ first winning month since August 2017 (excluding their 2-1 record in March 2019).

I have been targeting 67 wins for 2022, a 15 game improvement.  The Orioles are currently on a pace to win 75 games.  That would be a 23 game improvement.  

Still a very long way to go.  Trades, injuries etc could all make this pace fall off.  And of course, the mediocre to poor pitching only works as long as the bull pen stays sharp.

But there could also be more positive debuts from the minors.

Things are starting to take shape.  What that is remains to be seen...
